Korean-Japanese architect, born Yoo Dong-ryong in Tokyo to Korean parents. He kept his Korean nationality his entire life, working under the Japanese pen name 'Itami Jun' (after Itami airport). His most prolific Korean works are on Jeju Island — the Pinx Biotopia complex (Podo Hotel and the Water/Wind/Stone/Two-Hands museums) and Bangju Church — where he developed an idiom of curved roofs, weathered metals, and earthy textures rooted in Korean vernacular.
