Kenzō Tange, Kengo Kuma - Architectes des Jeux de Tokyo
A presentation of the fascinating architectural legacy of the Tokyo Olympic Games through two iconic buildings, the Yoyogi Olympic Gymnasium and the New National Stadium, highlighting the two world-renowned Japanese architects behind these projects: Kenzō Tange and Kengo Kuma.
Published on the occasion of the eponymous exhibition at Maison de la Culture du Japon, Paris, in 2024.
Kenzō Tange (1913-2005), architect of the Hiroshima Peace Memorial and the Tokyo stadiums built for the 1964 Olympic Games, is one of Japan's most famous post-war architects.
Kengo Kuma (born 1954 in Kanagawa Prefecture) is considered one of Japan's most important contemporary architects. Founder in 1987 of the Spatial Design studio and later of the architectural firm Kengo Kuma & Associates, he has established himself as a leading architect by reinterpreting Japanese tradition with contemporary techniques, while forging a close relationship between urbanism and nature. He is the architect of Tokyo's New National Olympic Stadium for the 2020 Summer Olympics.
