Shizuoka City Hall and Shizuoka Public Hall were designed almost in the same period by the same architectural office. But the design policies shown in the elevations of these two buildings were quite different; the elevation of the City Hall had much classical ornament and the elevation of the Public Hall had little. Moreover, such design policies were spontaneously taken by the architectural office. This shows the coexistence of classicism and rationalism which ought not to coexist. Changing the way of designing the elevation in accordance with the architectural type enabled this coexistence, that is, what architectural type was was very important to the architect when he determined the elevation and rationalism was not thoght to be applied to every architectural type. Such way of thinking could be visible among Japanese architects in the early Showa era and this Shizuoka's case is a good example of it.
