Abstract

AbstractThis article compares the design processes for the Yoyogi National Gymnasium and the Kagawa Prefectural Gymnasium. It analyzes the sketches and plans for both buildings that Kenzo Tange drew in his pocketbooks, and the commentary and illustrations after the structures were completed. The analysis reveals that Tange researched suspended roof designs worldwide, placed importance on communicating with his office staff and engineers, and maintained his approach of integrating architectural planning, structural drawing, and ductwork while designing the two buildings.
