Description
With the Olympic Games held in Tokyo in 1964 and 2020 at its centre, this exhibition catalogue compares and contrasts the similarities and differences between architects Kenzo Tange (1913–2005) and Kengo Kuma, their work for the Tokyo Games, and their involvement with the city of Paris. In addition, it explores the appeal of their architecture, offering an interpretation of their respective design philosophies through essays by Kuma and architectural historian Saikaku Toyokawa and an extensive selection of photographs by Yasuhiro Ishimoto and Mikiya Takimoto. The book appears in conjunction with the eponymous exhibition at the Maison de la Culture de Japon à Paris.
