Last week, via Kisho Kurokawa, we were introduced to the Metabolist Movement. Today we explore Kiyonori Kukutake who with Kurokawa was one of the founders of that movement.
Kiyonori Kikutake (1928-2011) was a Japanese architect. He was on of the founders of the Japanese Metabolist Group. Born in Kurume, Japan, he studied at Waseda University. Along with his colleague he was invited to participate in the exhibition Visionary Architecture in 1961. He was the President of the Japan Institude of Architects.
