Nara Convention Hall, Nara, Japan, Interior perspective of concert hall
Arata Isozaki
Japanese, born 1931
1992
A computer-generated print that visualizes Arata Isozaki’s concept for the Nara Convention Hall interior, imagining a luminous, transparent auditorium where layered glass and open volume blur the boundaries between audience and architecture.
You'd first notice the cool, translucent lattice of walls and the vast, softly lit volume punctuated by tiny human figures, which together create a suspended, almost weightless atmosphere and emphasize the hall’s scale.
The work exemplifies the 1990s shift to digital architectural representation, showing how computer visualization allowed architects to explore and communicate novel effects of light, materiality, and spatial ambiguity.
