• Exhibition Concept

  Kenzo Tange, a leading Japanese postwar architect, built a house for himself in Tokyo’s Seijo district (1953; non-extant). A project is underway to recreate the legendary residence on a hilltop overlooking the Seto Inland Sea in Fukuyama City. In this exhibition, a 1:3 scale model constructed by a temple carpenter will be displayed along with furniture and personal items originally designed for the residence by Tange, as well as documents and materials demonstrating what the original looked like. This special exhibition will showcase the residence’s past as well as the plans for its future.
