Arata Isozaki

Synopsis
Filmed almost entirely in Japan, Isozaki revisits the most important buildings of his 20 year career. Isozaki’s work illustrates how function and form can work together to enhance metaphysical contemplation, i.e. that content comes from form; a concept that is almost alien in Western culture.
