1. Paul Tange - The Business Times
27 sep 2018 · Paul Noritaka Tange chose to follow in Kenzo Tange's footsteps, working in tandem and developing a unique father-son, teacher-student relationship.
WHEN YOUR FATHER is a world-famous architect, revered and recognised as a modernist master, living up to his name is an impossible task - especially when you're an architect yourself. Yet Paul Noritaka Tange chose to follow in Kenzo Tange's footsteps, working in tandem and developing a unique father-son, teacher-student relationship. The Harvard-trained Paul, 60, joined his father's eponymous firm in 1985 and took over in 1997 when Kenzo retired. He later started his own firm Tange Associates and the two practices merged after Kenzo passed away in 2005. The first project Paul took on after his father's death was the Mode Gakuen Cocoon Tower, a distinctive 50-storey skyscraper in Tokyo's Shinjuku district, finished in 2008. It signalled a passing of the torch and helped to cement the younger Tange's reputation as a world-class architect in his own right: the son also rises, as it were. Read more at The Business Times.

Kenzo Tange (1913-2005), winner of the 1987 Pritzker Architecture Prize, is one of Japan’s most honored architects. Teacher, writer, architect, and urban planner, he is revered not only for his own work but also for his influence on younger architects. He was born in Osaka, Japan in 1913 and was raised in the small city of Imabari, Shikoku Island. Although becoming an architect was beyond his wildest dreams as a boy, it was Le Corbusier’s work that stirred his imagination so that in 1935, he became a student in the Architecture Department of Tokyo University. In 1946, he became an assistant professor at Tokyo University, and organized the Tange Laboratory. His students included Fumihiko Maki, Koji Kamiya, Arata Isozaki, Kisho Kurokawa, and Taneo Oki. Tange was in charge of the reconstruction of Hiroshima after World War II. The Hiroshima Peace Center and Park begun in 1946 made the city symbolic of the human longing for peace. Architecturally, the Peace Center shows a deep understanding of traditional culture while at the same time is a signpost in the search for a modern style in Japan. Tange research and interest in urban planning extended throughout his career. His doctorate, completed in 1959, was titled, "Spatial Structure in a Large City," an interpretation of urban structure on the basis of people's movements commuting to and from work. His "Plan for Tokyo 1960" was the Tange Team's logical response to these problems, giving thought to the nature of the urban structure...

14. Kenzo Tange Letters - Robin Boyd & Japan
When commissioned by George Braziller to write Kenzo Tange in 1961, Boyd had few connections in Japan - he was recommended to Braziller by Walter Gropius.
When commissioned by George Braziller to write Kenzo Tange in 1961, Boyd had few connections in Japan - he was recommended to Braziller by Walter Gropius, but had never visited the country and had no pre-existing relationship with Tange. Boyd’s crash course in Japanese culture, architecture and urbanism was aided by an introduction from his friend Denis Warner, a foreign correspondent who lived and worked in Tokyo for many years. His flying visit in August 1961 was targeted towards highlights of Kenzo Tange’s built work, including stopovers in Hiroshima, Shizuoka and Kurashiki. While Boyd struggled at first to gain Tange’s co-operation, he quickly won the architect over in-person - the start of a lasting and warm correspondence. Tange was pleased by Boyd’s glowing appraisal of his work and design philosophy, and the two would meet again on Boyd’s next visit in 1965.
