Docomomo International would like to share the publication “KENZO TANGE – Gli anni della rivoluzione formale 1940/1970” [“KENZO TANGE – The years of the formal revolution 1940/1970”] by Giusi Ciotoli and Marco Falsetti, published by Franco Angeli Edizioni. The publication counted with the contribution of FrancoAngeli Architettura Art Design Urban Studies, Olimpia Niglio, Marco Biraghi, the Italy Japan Foundation, the Elèmire Zolla Writings Fund and Docomomo Italia.

“Focusing on the period 1960/2020, the volume outlines a precise period of Tanghian research, projecting it within the Japanese cultural sphere and at the same time tracing that web of contacts and stimuli that has always been interwoven with the West. Contextualizing Tange’s work within his various critical seasons (from the symbolic language of his beginnings to the ‘megastructural’ plans of the 1960s), the book fills a fundamental gap in his studies on the architect, also making use of redesigns and unpublished materials from archive, including some photos taken by the Maestro.”
