GO IZUMITA /
泉田剛

Artist / Architectural Designer

Born in 2001 in Hirosaki, Aomori, Japan. Based in Tokyo and Hirosaki. After graduating from the Department of Architecture at Musashino Art University, he worked in architectural visualization at Shigeru Ban Architects. His current practice involves dismantling and reconstructing disused buildings and neglected structures, transforming them into sculptural works. By extracting and rearranging materials from these structures, he explores the relationships between materiality, memory, and space.

Drawing on his experience in graphic design and architectural visualization, he also works across exhibition and spatial design, as well as editorial design. Moving between two- and three-dimensional practices, he explores new forms of expression beyond conventional boundaries of scale and discipline.

Fields of Practice

With artistic practice at the core of his work, Izumita engages in projects involving architecture, space, and visual expression. His approach spans research, conceptual development, design, and production, adapting to the specific nature of each project.
