Kenzo Tange (1913-2005) undoubtedly was Japan’s most important postwar architects by virtue of his built work but also because he left a mark on a range of young architects: as professor at Tokyo University Tange counted Fumihiko Maki, Arata Isozaki and Kisho Kurokawa among his students, all of them important architects in their own rights. At the same time Tange cast his net wide and took part in the postwar CIAM congresses and subsequently also built in Europe and taught in the US.
To my knowledge the present volume still is the most comprehensive publication on the architect: „Kenzo Tange 1946-1996: Architecture and Urban Design“, jointly edited by Massimo Bettinotti and Tange and published by Electa in 1997. The book is a lavishly illustrated monograph highlighting Tange’s most important designs from five decades with each project accompanied by plans, drawings and insightful texts in English and Italian. What is particularly charming about the book is that it is half biography and half work catalogue: in the first part the architect takes the reader through his biography, his major projects and career events while the second and more comprehensive part is dedicated exclusively to his works. These are again subdivided into urban plannings and architecture and accompanied by explanatory texts, plans and extensive photo spreads.
Although the book by its very nature isn’t a critical evaluation of the architect’s work it nonetheless is a very good point of departure for a deeper discussion of Tange’s complete works.
