Nara Convention Hall, Nara, Japan, Interior perspective of main hall

Arata Isozaki
Japanese, born 1931
1992
A computer-generated print by Arata Isozaki that visualizes the interior of the Nara Convention Hall, made to explore and communicate the building’s spatial layout and atmosphere.
From a high, tilted vantage the scene reads like a softly glowing, translucent shell—tiered seating and a central platform float in layered greys and cool purples, giving a cinematic sense of scale, depth, and engineered order.
The work shows Isozaki’s early use of digital visualization to move architectural representation beyond technical drawing into expressive, presentational imagery, reflecting a wider shift toward computer-aided design and visualization in contemporary architecture.
