Organization and Research Application Attempt of a Modest Scale of Mater:

As a Case Study of WATNABE Jin, and KISIDA Hideto Materials

Abstract

  I examined the possibility of conducting research using small architectural materials from NAMA collection. Although not large enough to hold a stand-alone exhibition, there are possibilities by comparing existing architecture and materials and by combining them with materials housed in other organizations. This time, I focus on the materials of WATANABE Jin and KISHIDA Hideto. The quality of the materials in their collections is different. Kishidaʼs materials can be combined with materials from other collections to provide general architectural materials content, while Watanabeʼs, although small in, can be combined with extant works to potentially reinforce the positioning of his work. Continued investigation and research can reinforce the significance of the inheritance of modern architecture.
