El arquitecto japonés de 71 años, ha será galardonado con el premio Pritzker 2013. Toyo Ito se convierte así en el quinto nipón en obtener el máximo reconocimiento de la arquitectura, luego de que Kenzo Tange (1987), Fumihiko Maki (1993), Tadao Ando (1995) y el dúo Kazuyo Sejima y Ryue Nishizawa (2010) lo recibieran, destacando el aporte de Japón para la arquitectura contemporánea.
Toyo Ito, cuyo estudio está basado en Tokyo, ha trabajado en variados proyectos y ha alzanzado gran reconocimiento internacional, desde que comenzó en 1971 con «Casa de Aluminio» en Kawagawa. Algunas de sus obras más destacadas son Torre de los Vientos de 1986, Cúpula de Odate (1997), la Mediateca de Sendai (2001), o la Biblioteca de la Universidad de Arte de Tama de 2007.
Con su trabajo, Toyo Ito intenta borrar los convencionalismos a través de toques minimalistas y desarrollando espacios lumínicos que semejen aire y viento.
