Arata Isozaki - TIME SPACE EXISTENCE

PLANE-SITE met with Japanese architect Arata Isozaki in his studio to have a conversation and explore the topics of time, space, and existence in architecture. Isozaki discusses his philosophy on architecture as it relates to space, as well as his intention to never fall into one specific style of design, but create different and unique styles for each distinct environment.
Curated and produced by PLANE-SITE, this video series features interviews with prominent architects reflecting on the topics of TIME SPACE EXISTENCE. These three concepts sketch out the contours of the world around us - a fact especially true within architecture. Taking these words as its starting point, the GAA Foundation is set to curate its fourth collateral exhibition in the context of La Biennale di Venezia Architettura, entitled Time-Space-Existence and opening in May 2018. Featuring over 100 established and emerging architects, and unapologetically international in breadth, the exhibition provides a fascinating complement to a biennial traditionally drawn along national lines.
This interview series has been made possible with the support of the European Cultural Centre.

Whenever I feel stuck in design or my artwork, I always find myself coming back to this video. The simplicity in his words, but the weight in meaning are like no other. The world lost such a beautiful soul.

This video gave me goosebumbs all the way until the end. I read his biography and found out that his origin from the Ground Zero caused by the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombing gave him the driving force of nation rebuilding. This is how his admiration for nothingness started. I really admire how Japanese in general were able to produce something out of nothing. From the story behind the invention of sushi to their art of paper folding, Japanese people prove that the scarcity of resources is not a hindrace to produce abundance in meaning. Architect Arata Isozaki really deserves this year's Pritzker Price Award for Architecture.

I know Isozaki from his MOCA museum on Grand Avenue in Los Angeles and his beautiful building at Disney (with the graphic sundial). There is always a sense of calm in his work.

His words are so soothing; and so much insightful.
