DESIGN PHILOSOPHIESTange's early designs attempted to combine

modernism with traditional Japanese forms of architecture

"Architecture must have something that appeals to the human heart, but even then, basic forms, spaces and appearances must be logical. Creative work is expressed in our time as a union of technology and humanity".

“I do not wish to repeat what I have done. I find that every project is a springboard to the next, always advancing forward from the past to the ever-changing future. That is my next challenge.”

DESIGN PHILOSPHIESTange did not imagine himself as a

leading form giver. He sees himself in state of transition

“The role of tradition is that of a catalyst which furthers a chemical reaction, but is no longer detectable in the end result”

He also contributed in Metabolist movement

Many Metabolists had studied under Kenzo Tange at Tokyo University's Tange Laboratory.

METABOLISM• The word metabolism describes the process

of maintaining living cells.• Metabolism, the Japanese architectural

avant-garde movement of the 1960s, profoundly influenced contemporary architecture and urbanism.

• A representative movement in modern Japanese architecture history.

• The movement contends that buildings and cities should be designed in the same organic way that life grows and changes by repeating metabolism.

METABOLISMAt the World Design Conference

of 1960, the Metabolism group—formed by architecture critic Kawazoe Noboru, architects Otaka Masato, and others who had come under the influence of the architect Kenzo Tange presented a manifesto entitled Metabolism 1960: Proposals for a New Urbanism

YOYOGI NATIONAL GYMNASIUM

Design Concepts The plan of the stadium is in the

form of two semi-circles, slightly displaced in relation to one another, with their unconnecting ends elongated into points; and looks almost like a snail. From the outside, each perspective offers a new appearance.

It was the world’s most daring structures that radiated both boldness and serenity which gave the sensation of spatial manifestation.

It has large-span suspension steel roof structure;  inspired by Eero Saarinen’s Ingalls Rink, Yale University’s hockey venue(1958) which was built using a very similar structure.

Design Creativity Creative work is

expressed via union of innovative western technology and traditional Japanese Pagoda.

This architectural masterpiece is beautifully integrated into the landscape. And after its completion, its design was conceived being Organic, Functional and Dynamic.

Kenzo Tange won Pritzker Prize for his design of this historic revolutional design which saw Japan rise.

UOB PLAZA (1986)

One of the three tallest skyscrapers in the city of Singapore called UOB Plaza or Republic plaza.

AKASAKA PRINCE HOTEL(1982)Was a

upscale hotel in Tokyo, Japan.

It became notable for being deconstructed in a top, appearing to shrink in height.

MODE GAKUEN COCOON TOWER(2008)•It is a 204 M, 50 story educational facility building in Tokyo, Japan.•It is second tallest educational building in the world.•It is 17th tallest building in the Tokyo.

Some termed his architecture as Brutal.Brutalist architecture has been criticised for being soulless and for promoting the exclusive use of a material that is poor at withstanding long exposures to natural weather.

Influenced by:

"Fused the architectural traditions of his native Japan with the contemporary philosophy and traditions of the western world.”Projects across the globe.

Guest professor at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, as well as a lecturer at Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Washington University, Illinois Institute of Technology, the University of California at Berkeley, and the Universities of Alabama and Toronto.

"Creative work is expressed in our time as a union of technology and humanity. "
