How does a changing nation find its architectural identy? In a world dominated by modernism and international aesthetics, how do you infuse buildings with the history of tge land, specially when people are keen to not even remember that history. Maybe the answers lie in designs of Kenzo Tange. In a career spanning the entire second half of the twentieth century, Kenzo produced some fantastic buildings in Japan and around the world. But perhaps his biggest contributions to architecture were some that were never built, or ones he wasn’t even an active part of. This is the story of the man who created one of the most beautiful buildings of the 20th century, a man who initiated a whole architectural movement and a man who created the identity of Postwar Japan, today on Blessedarch we are looking at the life and designs of Kenzo Tange.
