I have to research modern Japanese architecture for my art and design coures. What are the names of some Japanese architects who design modern buildings? I can only find very traditional buildings- I'm struggling to find modern ones.

Did he live to see the towers go down?
If he did, it would be interesting to read what he thought brought them down.

No...
He died already in february 1986. I guess that was a worse day for him, but nobody should have to see that kind of destruction of his or her work.

Japanese Architects
Look at Tadao Ando and Arata Isozaki for great work.
