Japanese architect Kenzo-Tange (picture...

Kenzo Tange, born in Sansei Kenzo (1913-2005) Kenzo Tange was born in Osaka on September 4, 1913. He graduated from the Faculty of Architecture of the University of Tokyo in 1938. In 1949, he won the design competition at the Peace Center of the Hiroshima Atomic Bomb Site. And thus it has emerged internationally.
The architectural creation activities of Kenzo Kenzo are roughly divided into three stages.
The first stage was the post-war 1950s. He proposed the concept of “functionalization”, which was intended to give buildings a more rational form and explore the path of combining modern architecture with Japanese architecture. Representative works of the period include Tokyo Metropolitan Government Hall and Kurashiki Prefectural Office.
The second stage was the 1960s, which was the time when Dan Xia and his research institutes entered a brilliant period. In the 1960 Tokyo plan, he proposed the "urban axis" theory, which has far-reaching influence on the urban design; he also made new explorations in the construction of large-span buildings, most famous in Tokyo's Yoyogi National Stadium; He has made successful attempts to use symbolic techniques and new ethnic styles, such as the Yamanashi Cultural Center and the Cathedral of Santa Maria.
The third stage is after 1970, Danxia Jiansan and his institute have done a lot of architectural design in North Africa and the Middle East, such as the Hashemite Palace in Jordan and the Algiers International Airport. During this period, Kenzo Tange also explored the mirrored glass curtain wall. His important works include the New Town Hall in Tokyo and the New Hall in Tokyo Grass Hall.
It is worth mentioning that the main event of the 1964 Tokyo Olympic Games designed by Dan under the singer - Yoyogi National Sports Complex is known as one of the most beautiful buildings in the world in the 20th century, and he himself won the first person in the Japanese contemporary architecture industry. Praise.
Dan Xia believes: "Although the shape, space and appearance of the building must conform to the necessary logic, the building should also contain the power of the people. The so-called creativity in this era is the perfect combination of technology and humanity. The traditional elements are in the building. The role of the design should be like a catalyst in a chemical reaction, which accelerates the reaction, but disappears in the final result..." The most basic idea is the creed that Dan has always adhered to in architectural practice.
At the age of 74, Kenzo Tange won the Pritzker Architecture Prize and was the first Japanese architect to receive the award and the first Asian winner. In addition, he has received the Gold Award and Honorable Mention from the Japan Architecture Society Award and the Royal Building Society, the American Institute of Architects, the French Progressive Promotion Association, and the Danish Institute of Architects.
Dan's architectural creation career has lasted for more than 60 years, and his work is not only rich, but also his contribution to architectural education. He has served as a visiting professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and has also taught at the architectural departments of major schools such as Harvard, Yale, and the University of California at Berkeley. Japan’s second Pritzker Architecture Prize winner, Fumihiko Maki (1993 winner), and Arata Isozak-i, Kisho Kurokawa, etc., which are currently internationally influential in the Japanese architectural world. People have studied under Dan. After learning that Dan under the death of his illness, Isozaki’s new emotions: “The biggest achievement of Dan’s work is to let the world know the modern architecture of Japan through major national events. It’s not so much an architect, but rather an orchestra. The conductor of the team. He passed away, and no one came after him." "Building is a solid music" is a word that Dan often hangs on his lips. It is his design principle that people and architecture should live in harmony. And these, he elaborated in his own works "The Tradition and Creation of Japanese Architecture," "Human and Architecture," and "Starting with a Pencil." Interestingly, this designer has never designed anything for himself. Some reporters have been interested in asking him this question. Dan’s answer is “I know my wife and children will be dissatisfied, I am afraid of them. criticism."
