Abstract
Xavier Hall was a timber structured building for auditorium and believers’ hall designed by Togo Murano Architect Office, built in 1949 in the property of Nobori-cho Catholic Church in Hiroshima, widely known as “Memorial Cathedral for World Peace.” The hall is important in inquiring the design process of the Cathedral, because it had a fundamental influence on site-composition of the religious complex as a whole. In this paper, based on the chronological order of sketches and drawings relevant to the hall, morphological analysis was performed through three problem-solving studies to reveal the architect’s design thinking and strategy.
