ARCHITECT 2: KENZO TANGE
The Tokyo National Gymnasium
Kenzo Tange urban structures and heavily influenced by Metabolism movement, which is a organic biological growth is space.It also can be seen as vast cities that floated on the oceans and plug-in capsule towers that could incorporate organic growth.The eave of Yoyogi National Gynasium is inspired from Japanese pagoda which is a essence of a culture. Tange was also inspired by Japanese history and culture. As he was quoted as saying: ”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. The role of tradition is that of a catalyst, which furthers a chemical reaction, but is no longer detectable in the end result. Tradition can, to be sure, participate in a creation, but it can no longer be creative itself.”
