Happy Birthday, Arata Isozaki

The bold and inventive architect Arata Isozaki was born on July 23, 1931 in Oita, Kyushu, Japan. Arata Isozaki often integrates Eastern ideas into his designs. Some critics have identified his Isoazki's work with the imaginative, Japanese New Wave movement known as Metabolism. Shown here is Isozaki's Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) in Los Angeles.
