Isozaki studied architecture at the University of Tokyo from 1950. Among other things, he was a student of the famous Japanese architect Kenzo Tange. In 1954 Isozaki completed his studies. Two years later he also completed his Masters of Arts degree. In 1962 he completed his training with a doctorate in architecture. Isozaki then worked for a short time in Kenzo Tange's team before setting up his own architectural practice in 1963. He later named it "Studio Arata Isozaki & Associates" and moved the location to Kyushu. In 1964 he accepted a teaching position at the University of Tokyo. Further guest professorships at universities around the world followed. Isozaki was initially inspired by American high-rise construction. Since 1954, he has realized numerous buildings that bear his avant-garde signature, such as a town hall in Kanioka, the Saudi Arabian Foreign Ministry in Riyadh, the Tsukuba Civic Center in the Japanese "science city" Tsukuba City and a trading house in Chicago.
Isozaki appropriated Metabolism, an architectural style in Japan that emerged from the 1960 World Design Conference. In the same year, Isozaki developed the "Core System", which not only influenced metabolism, but also his former teacher Kenzo Tange. Isozaki established himself as an avant-gardist. He opened himself up to the influences of postmodernism, the Vienna Secession and other architectural styles such as that of Marcel Duchamp. By absorbing and adopting international trends, he not only shaped his own architectural style, but also contemporary Japanese architecture. Isozaki's activities also included the work of a film architect, which he carried out in 1965. Since 1974, numerous exhibitions and publications have consolidated his renowned reputation as one of Japan's leading avant-garde architects. He was also known as a competent architectural theorist. Isozaki's international reputation also rests on his efforts to combine Western and Eastern architectural styles.
What is striking about his designs is the thoughtful use of simple geometric shapes. Another special feature of his buildings, which often refer to historical construction methods, is the sophisticated play with light and shadow. His avant-garde projects include the headquarters of the Fukuoka Mutual Bank (1968/1971) and the Gunma Prefectural Museum of Fine Arts in Takasaki (1971/1974). Until the early 1980s, Isozaki's planning activities were limited to Japan. On the other hand, he had already attracted international attention through his books and essays on architectural theory. After Isozaki became known in the United States in the late 1970s, he received important international commissions such as planning the redesign of the Museum of Contemporary Arts in Los Angeles (1981/1986).
The range of his planning tasks today includes, among others, banks, libraries, monuments, hospitals, cultural centers, museums, town halls, schools, city halls, an urban development project in Berlin-Tegel, buildings for offices, culture, administrations and apartments, leisure and sports facilities and hotel buildings , which Isozaki realized in Germany, the USA, Spain and Japan.- Kaoru Mitoma was born on 20 May 1997 in Oita, Japan.
