	Arata Isozaki Summary
		Arata Isozaki was born in Oita City, Japan, in 1931.
		Isozaki often used quotation to establish a certain sense of displacement; many of these references were obscure and personal, including distorted abstractions referring to Mickey Mouse and Marilyn Monroe, but a number also drew from the Western architectural canon.
		Arata Isozaki (磯崎新, Isozaki Arata; born 23 July 1931) is a Japanese architect from Oita Prefecture.

		Isozaki's synthesis of East and West is evident, for example, in his design for the Team Disney building, which won a prestigious National Honour Award from the AIA in 1992.
		The work Isozaki produced in the late 1960s was heavily influenced by the so-called "Metabolism school." The joint Core System, developed by Isozaki in 1960, became an essential contribution to the Metabolism movement and was influential on the work of his former mentor, Tange.
		Isozaki's later works, however, are increasingly self-conscious, and draw ideas from a wide range of influences, both architectural and otherwise.

		Arata Isozaki was born in 1931 in Oita City.

		Isozaki built the main festival plaza, a Metabolist work of great power that, ironically, symbolised the end of that style which had fallen from grace by the end of the Sixties.

		In 1990 architect Arata Isozaki, at the request of Governor Toshitami Kihara of Hyogo Prefecture, asked PWP to help prepare a long-range development plan for a new town then under construction on a 2,000-hectare site, 200 kilometers inland from Kobe, Japan, site of a new supercollider that was being constructed by the Japanese government.
		PWP then designed the beginnings of the formal downtown park--a great circular open space at the intersection of the two major roads of the town--and, along with Isozaki, prepared detailed landscape plans for the iconic conference center and ryokan, the first housing complex for workers, and the children's downtown playground.
		In addition, PWP prepared several illustrative neighborhood layouts and grading studies and reviewed the initial siting and open-space designs by other architects and landscape architects for the beginnings of the university complex, the initial retail and commercial development, the first city schools, and administrative and service headquarters.

	Arata Isozaki: Japanese art and technology exhibition hall \| Floornature
		The Krakow exhibition centre could be compared to the Nara conference centre project, in that both display the inconstancy of the Japanese architect's style: Isozaki plays with different variations on a single design concept.
		He addresses the theme of deformation, drawing inspiration from dialogue with the surrounding landscape; the architect justifies the curves that model his construction as a restatement of the loops of the river Vistola.
		It is precisely this great freedom of expression which gives the architecture its abstract character; but the precision of detail and aseptic use of materials typical of Isozaki's work emphasise the subjectivism of this formal play, perfectly expressed in the design of this building.

		The seventy-two-year-old Kenzo Tange, father of modern Japanese architecture, emerged as a major presence in the fifties; his protégé, Arata Isozaki, fifty-five, burst upon the world in the seventies.
		By the late sixties and early seventies, Tange and other Japanese architects, including Isozaki, designed astounding megastructures, bringing Japan into the global network of major influences on world architecture.
		As Tange looks back on the buildings he created thirty years ago, he notes that tradition was a crucial issue in Japanese architecture in the mid-fifties, the years of the postwar economic boom.
