Clusters in the Air  

Arata Isozaki: City In the Air

This concept came across in a discussion when I was doing my diploma in TAFE by my teacher on solutions of built cities/planning.

It's metabolism at its best. The problem of a congested country in Japan, this was Arata Isozaki solution. This approach allows to minimize environmental impact of sunlight and wind and yet occupy the growing human population whilst reducing it's footprint on all factors. 

Marilyn Chair  

Arata Isozaki: Marilyn Chair

I didn't want to just research just architectural buildings by Arata Isozaki, I wanted to have a range of designs that would expand environment, inspiration and functions in my design. The Marilyn chair is an icon of Japanese modern design. The Marilyn chair was actually created for use in the executive offices of a Japanese bank in Tendo, Japan 1973. Part of the permanent collection of the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
