His highly individual work, completely in the modern idiom, has brought an exhilarating creative talent to the urban aspect of Japan. Increasingly also in other countries his inventive genius has been sought for large and important projects. Even with the enormous range of buildings which he has created, each retains a freshness of conception. Tange has avoided static formulae and his achievement goes beyond facile enthusiasm and bears witness to an attitude of continuous and dedicated research. Right from the start of his career, as a student and then as a newly fledged architect in the forties, he won a whole succession of prizes. This early success was also marked by the selection of his design for the new Peace Centre in the reconstruction proqramme for Hiroshima, which brought him his initial widespread fame. For a period of now more than twenty years, he has continued to enhance his reputation with a wide range of awards and achievements. His giant stadium forthe Olympic Games at Tokyo in 1964 made him known throughout the world and brought him, in 1965, a gold medal from RIBA (the Royal Institute of British Architects) and in 1966 a special award from the League of Architects in New York. In the same year he was given honorary membership of the American Arts Association and awarded the gold medal of the International Architectural Association for his activities as an architect and town~planner. TodayTange is engaged in a number of ambitious projects. He is building a Sports and Arts Centre at Flushing Meadow, New York, a university campus atTaiwan, an airport on the Persian Gulf and new administrative buildings in Bologna in Italy. In Japan he is working on the completion of a plan for Kyoto and helped to design the 1970 Osaka World Fair. The dynamic career of this outstanding Japanese architect is described in this book in a full account by Paolo Biani amplified by quotations byTange himself and backed by biographical details, a complete list of his buildings and an excellent bibliography. His work is shown in 49 black~and~white and 63 colour illustrations.

September 1913 in Sakai; 22. März 2005 in Tokio) war ein über die Grenzen Japans hinaus bekannter Architekt. Er galt als Hauptvertreter des Neuen Bauens in seinem Land. Auch leistete er einen bedeutenden Beitrag zur Entwicklung des Strukturalismus. Dazu meinte Tange: Ich glaube, es war um 1959 oder Anfang der 1960er Jahre, dass ich mich mit einer Strömung beschäftigte, die ich später Strukturalismus nannte, (in Plan 2/1982, Amsterdam). 1987 wurde ihm der Pritzker-Preis verliehen. 1993 wurde er mit dem Praemium Imperiale, Sparte Architektur, ausgezeichnet. Tanges Entwurf für das Friedensmuseum Hiroshima gilt als Beginn seiner Karriere. Tange gewann den Wettbewerb für die Gedenkstätte mit einem Gebäude auf Pfeilern, sogenannten pilotis, ein architektonisches Element, das von Le Corbusier geprägt wurde. Das Gebäude sitzt auf einem weiten Platz in einer Achse mit der Atombombenkuppel, einer Ruine des Atombombenabwurfs über der Stadt und Mahnmal der Zerstörung. Tange und Maekawa stellten den Entwurf 1951 auf dem achten CIAM-Kongress in Großbritannien vor, einer internationalen Konferenz von Architekten der Moderne. Das Museum ist eines der ersten Bauwerke der japanischen Nachkriegszeit, das internationale Beachtung und Wertschätzung erfuhr. Das Gebäude wurde 1955 vollendet. 0 Sprache: Deutsch Gewicht in Gramm: 560.

Rilegato. Condition: ottimo. Dust Jacket Condition: ottimo. prima edizione. (I Maestri del Novecento Sansoni 8. Collana Diretta da H.L. Jaffé e A. Busignani) L'architetto di Hiroshima e delle Olimpiadi di Tokyo che ha risolto nella sua opera i contrasti del Giappone tradizionale e moderno. L'opera di Kenzo Tange, protagonista certo tra i maggiori di una evoluzione culturale ancor prima che industriale che ha messo il Giappone in linea con i paesi più avanzati, è da noi mal nota o nota soprattutto per motivi in certo modo esterni, essendo il suo nome legato più agli accadimenti (la rinascita di Hiroshima, le Olimpiadi di Tokyo, il terremoto di Skopje) che alle progettazioni che in tali accadimenti hanno avuto la loro ragione prima. In questa monografia lavoro e pensiero di Tange sono chiariti sia attraverso un amplissimo corredo illustrativo (completato da piante, sezioni, disegni) in cui non mancano precisi riferimenti al Giappone tradizionale, sia attraverso una serie di citazioni che inseriscono nel quadro critico delineato la persona prima di Tange stesso, in una presenza continua e stimolante. Aggiungiamo che l'Autore ha della vi. cenda della contemporanea architettura giapponese una conoscenza per così dire attiva oltre che estremamente approfondita, avendo svolto la sua opera di architetto a fianco di Tange come suo allievo e collaboratore.
