Isozaki studied at the University of Tokyo. The Oita-born architect gained professional experience working under another famed architect and fellow countryman Kenzo Tange, who has been known for balancing modernist architecture and traditional Japanese styles. Isozaki then went on to set up his own studio, Arata Isozaki & Associates, in 1963.
‘I wanted to see the world through my own eyes, so I travelled around the globe at least ten times before I turned thirty. I wanted to feel the life of people in different places and visited extensively inside Japan, but also to the Islamic world, villages in the deep mountains of China, South East Asia, and metropolitan cities in the US.
‘Isozaki was one of the first Japanese architects to build outside of Japan during a time when western civilizations traditionally influenced the East, making his architecture - which was distinctively influenced by his global citizenry - truly international. In a global world, architecture needs that communication,’ said Tom Pritzker, chairman of the Hyatt Foundation, on Isozaki's Prize win in 2019.
