TOTO Gallery Ma

SHARE
Ten years after the death of the architect Kenzo Tange, this exhibition introduces works from the decade 1949–1949, which spans from when Tange began working on his debut project, the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum (1953), to when he completed one of his early important works, the Kagawa Prefectural Government Office (1958), presenting a picture of Tange’s early years through contact sheets of 35-mm film images that he photographed himself. The more than 70 original contact sheets that are being shown in public for the first time in this exhibition are marked in places with red trimming lines that were drawn by Tange himself. These lines reveal how the young Tange had been engaging with architecture, and they vividly convey the traces of the contemplations and struggles of the architect.
