Eleven key projects by Japanese architect Arata Isozaki



Pritzker Architecture Prize-winning architect Arata Isozaki, who died earlier this week, was one of Japan's most influential post-war architects. Here are 11 of his key projects.
Responsible for designing over 100 buildings in his six-decade-long career, Isozaki died at his home in Okinawa aged 91.
The 46th recipient of the illustrious Pritzker Architecture Prize in 2019, he also won the RIBA Gold Medal in 1986 and the Leone d'Oro at the Venice Architectural Biennale 1996.
He was described by the Pritzker Prize jury as "a versatile, influential, and truly international architect".
Read on for details of 11 notable projects by Isozaki:

?ita Prefectural Library, ?ita, Japan, 1966
One of his most notable early works completed shortly after he established his studio in 1963, the ?ita Prefectural Library combined elements of Japanese brutalism and metabolism. Built in Isozaki's hometown of ?ita, the reinforced concrete building was informed by the structure of a skeleton with suspended tubular beams designed to allow the structure to be extended.

Kitakyushu Central Library, Fukuoka, Japan, 1974
Designed to house a library, history museum and audiovisual centre, the Kitakyushu Central Library contains two barrel-vaulted structures topped with copper plate roofs.
The concrete ribs of the barrel-vaulted structures are exposed throughout the curved interiors of the building.
