Kagawa Prefectural Government Office(1)
Kagawa Prefectural Government Office East Building - Kenzo Tange π π’π Architectural Design: Kenzo Tange Year Completed: 1958 πΊπ Project Location: Takamatsu, Kagawa Prefecture, Japan Many consider the Kagawa Prefectural Government Office to be one of Kenzo Tange's most important buildings. π’π This is primarily because he expressed traditional Japanese architectural techniques through modern materials. He achieved a powerful yet elegant aesthetic that is distinctly Japanese in style. πΊπ However, beyond style, Tange's reference to history extends not only to visual expression but also to structural and seismic techniques. This is a truly imaginative revival of traditional technology. πΏ π’π The building complex includes offices, the prefectural assembly hall, and large conference rooms, with a total area of 12,066.2 square meters. The East Building, which houses the legislative body and the assembly hall, is three stories high with a fully open ground floor. πΊπThe open ground floor allows direct access to the garden and the main building. ποΈ #Kagawa
