Arata Isozaki Japanese, b. 1931 “Metabolist” City in the Air, 1963

Metabolists: “Unlike the architecture of the past, contemporary architecture must be changeable, movable and capable of meeting the changing requirements of the contemporary age. In order to reflect reality, what is needed is not a fixed, static function, but rather one which is capable of undergoing metabolic changes. We must stop thinking in terms of function and form, and thin instead on terms of space and changeable function.”
