TOYO ITO

In South Korea, in the metropolitan city of Seoul, Toyo Ito was born in 1941of Japanese parents. He attended the faculty of architecture at the University of Tokyo and graduated in 1965. After studying, he collaborated with the architect Kiyonori Kikutake and later founded his own studio, which he soon called Urban Robot (URBOT), but in 1979 it was renamed Toyo Ito & Associates, Architects. Over the years he has received many prestigious awards such as the Good Design Award in 2001, the Golden Lion at the Venice Architecture Biennale, the annual award of the Architectural Institute of Japan, the Gold Medal of the Royal Institute of British Architects and especially in 2013 gets the Pritzker Architecture Prize, like a nobel prize in architecture. He creates and elaborates extreme architectural concepts, in which he combines the physical world with the virtual one and he dedicates himself to interior design, with a research on the tactile and visual potential of materials and on the relationship between the envelope and structure. Among his collaborations there are Alessi and Horm.
