A CONSIDERATION ON THE RELATION BETWEEN WASEDA UNIVERSITY OKUMA MEMORIAL HALL AND THE OFFICE OF WASEDA UNIVERSITY PRESS : A study on Koichi Satoh's views of "architecture-city" Part 2

Abstract

This paper reveals the meaning of relation between Waseda University Okuma Memorial Hall and the office of Waseda University Press. The existence of the Waseda University Press, completed across the street from Okuma Auditorium in the same year, was very important. Efforts were made to achieve a continuity between the two buildings in terms of detail design and materials, but defferences in style, height and so on were pursued willingly. Here, Satoh koichi was able to achieve the goal of creating a beautiful city viewed from the street while at the same time realizing a sort of ecletic "architecture-city" beauty by combining various styles.
