Meet Arata Isozaki, The Winner of the Pritzker Prize 2019<\/em> \u2013 <\/strong>The team of PullCast Blog<\/strong><\/a> was thrilled to find out that the legendary and highly creative Japanese architect\u00a0Arata Isozaki\u00a0<\/em>won this year\u2019s Pritzker Prize, one of the biggest honors in the\u00a0architectural world and the equivalent of the industry to the Nobel Prize<\/em>. It\u2019s true that Isozaki\u2019s work isn\u2019t very global, but his talent and work methods are impressive and, because of that, we couldn\u2019t agree more with the decision made by the\u00a0Hyatt Foundation!<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Read More:\u00a0HOW THE INDUSTRIAL DECOR TREND USES HARDWARE PRODUCTS<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Like we\u2019ve mentioned before, many may not know Isozaki because he isn\u2019t as mediatic or as known as some of the heavyweights of the Architecture World, but his work speaks for him and it has stood the test of time.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Since opening his firm in Tokyo in 1963 at the age of 32, Isozaki has a catalog of buildings that stand as a testament to Vitruvius\u2019s creed. Isozaki, who has built museums, towers, bridges, libraries,\u00a0furniture<\/a>, corporate offices, pavilions, sports complexes, concert halls, and college buildings, among other structures, finds inspiration in not the grandness of the edifices he designs but the void of them. \u201cExtravagance is, for me, complete silence,\u201d\u00a0said Isozaki. \u201cNothingness, that is extravagant.\u201d<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Isozaki has been labeled in his country as Japan\u2019s \u201cguerrilla architect\u201d for his ability to add visual puns to his designs. Isozaki\u2019s work boasts irony that verges on the edge of altruism. This is most aptly displayed in his design for the\u00a0Fujimi Country Club in Oita, Japan.<\/strong>\u00a0The architect fashioned the roof into a giant question mark that begged the question:\u00a0Why are the Japanese so hell-bent on using their country\u2019s limited land to build golf courses?<\/em><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n With a unique style, an incredible professional method and a contemporary vision well beyond his time, Isozaki is a well-deserved recipient of the\u00a0Pritzker\u00a0 Prize and a great representative of Japanese Architecture.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n It isn\u2019t the first time that a Japanese-born architect wins this coveted award. In fact, Japan is now tied with the United States for the most Pritzker prizes (eight). This means, of course, that the architect carries on the legacy of previous winners from Japan: Shigeru Ban (2014), Toyo Ito (2013), Kazuyo Sejima and Ryue Nishizawa, SANAA (2010), Tadao Ando (1995), Fumihiko Maki (1993), and Kenz\u014d Tange (1987).<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Meet Arata Isozaki, The Winner of the Pritzker Prize 2019 \u2013 The team of PullCast Blog was thrilled to find out that the legendary and highly creative Japanese architect\u00a0Arata Isozaki\u00a0won this year\u2019s Pritzker Prize, one of the biggest honors in the\u00a0architectural world and the equivalent of the industry to the Nobel Prize.
