丹下健三とCIAM第8回会議関係者との応答書簡

抄録

The purpose of this report is to survey Kenzo Tange’s correspondence with participants in the eighth conference of the International Congresses of Modern Architecture (CIAM VIII). These materials are stored at the archive of Ms. Michiko Uchida. Tange’s correspondence with Walter Gropius, Josep Luís Sert, and Takamasa Yoshizaka in particular highlights the preparations he made before traveling abroad. The analysis of the letters Tange sent to his wife revealed what he thought about reconstruction in Europe, modernist architecture, and what urban design should be like in Japan.
