The works of Toyo Ito were influenced by Gilles Deleuze (1925-1995), the most important contemporary French philosopher, and Sosuke Mita, a Japanese philosopher, and adopted his architectural concept through "Nomad" The concept of play is quite unique. He has been responsible for many public and private architectural projects in Japan and abroad. The Sendai Media Center, built in 2001, is one of his most representative works and has a profound impact on young architects worldwide. His works have been widely published and exhibited around the world, and he has served as a guest lecturer at many universities.

The ancients said that “life is seventy years old and rare”, but Ito Fengxiong, who is in his 70s, is still very sensitive. He can't see the real age at all. A pair of white frame glasses is even more fashionable and energetic. After more than 40 years of work and fruitful achievements, he did not have much interest in architecture in his youth, and was more addicted to baseball. Perhaps it was because his grandfather was a wood dealer, and his father liked to draw a floor plan for his friends, which was somewhat influenced. When he studied at the University of Tokyo, he began to have a strong interest in architecture. As a graduate of his undergraduate work, Toyo Ito submitted a plan for the reconstruction of Ueno Park, which won the highest award of the University of Tokyo in one fell swoop, which gave him a lot of confidence and then officially embarked on the road of architectural design.

Now, reviewing the works of Ito Fengxiong for more than 40 years, the scope covers many types of houses, office buildings, parks, libraries, shopping malls, theaters, etc., and they are all very unique. As the Pritzker Jury said, he has created a series of buildings that combine conceptual innovation and exquisite construction. His work not only covers different functions, but also contains a rich architectural language. His architectural form neither follows minimalism nor pursues parametric design. Toyotomi Ito does not compromise Western designers and architectural ideas, nor does he blindly recognize architects who are more famous than him in Japan. Instead, he has his own thinking, clearly rejects style, and some ideas even oppose the West. Each of his works is ingenious but has no relevance. It is completely impossible to see that it is from the same architect. In addition to being too low-key, it was ignored by the Pritzker Architecture Prize for a long, long time, and the industry once "screamed for it". After finally welcoming the due honor, Ito Fengxiong said with emotion: "Architecture is bound to be constrained by all aspects of society. When I am engaged in architectural design, I always remember: if we can get rid of all these restrictions, even a little, we can Design a more comfortable space. However, when a building is completed, I will painfully realize my shortcomings, but it turns into my motivation to challenge the next project. So this process may be repeated in the future. . "
