The life and designs of Kenzo Tange

I can't believe I came across this masterpiece so late, after almost 9 months. Your documentary is absolutely stunning and does full justice to the powerful personality of Kenzo. It took me on an emotional rollercoaster, from initial curiosity and happiness to goosebumps during the World War and Hiroshima segments. The memorial filled my heart with joy, and by the time the stadium and the plan for Japan appeared, I was left in awe, eager to see what he would do next. I'm a huge fan of Moshe Safdie and Habitat 67, and through that, I’m familiar with the Metabolism movement, though not many people fully grasp this concept but, its beautiful the way you've actually talked about its origin. The way you narrated the entire story, capturing the exact emotion of each moment, and how your voice actually shifted its tone to match those emotions, was incredibly moving. Every aspect of the documentary is commendable and exceptionally well executed. By the end of the documentary, I found myself in tears, and deeply touched.
I’ve watched your videos before, but today, you’ve truly gained a fan in me.

India has one of the filthiest architecture and nothing world class. World class man, create world class education, create world class countries. architecture is center of philosophy, identity, ideology of culture. India's filth shows the type of philosophy India has.

Wooooooooow really good job 👍🏻💘

Again wonderfull documentary movies....

This was wonderful! I so enjoy YOUR take on these architects and your thoughtful but also fun presentation. I enjoy your personal touch and also seeing you at the end of this documentary. Increasingly, people use AI voices which I cannot stand (I find them depressing and also stupid). I cannot express how much I appreciate that it is YOUR voice and YOUR thoughts about the Architect. PLEASE continue to make these! They are a delight!

Thank you for your great work.

love this documentary and your work !

for someone who is about to take the licensure exam, your works are a huge help, thank you!

I was in Japon for few weeks and had the chance to see some beautiful masterpieces of Kenzo Tang like the Prefectoral governement office of the Kagawa Prefecture in Takamatsu ! Thanks for the video

Good work with the documentaries in architecture. As a young architect, this is quite inspirational; learning from the best in history.

Please do a video about architect Laurie baker

An appreciation note:

I'll be taking my Architecture licensure exam in a week now, and I just want to say I am grateful to chance upon your channel during the previous arduous months of review. Your content, specially about the in-depth narrative into the "Masters of Architecture", is such a great help not only in familiarization of their works for the sake of review, but also for making it interesting. Your way of delivering their stories is entertaining and engaging!

Thank you again, please continue what you're doing, you're amazing.

The stacked cube building with round windows has been demolished.

The narrator has a beautiful voice.

Great subject and great images, but so much repetition of the same statements and the same images, over and over. Why?

Thank you!

Thank you, well done. It is great to hear in depth about the inspiration and reference of various great architects. Quite amazing to see tanges inspiration to other great architects.. what comes to mind is nervi’s st Mary’s cathedral, a clear reference to tanges st Mary’s.

"No Computer" so amazing 👏

I don’t see anything especially Japanese about his work. Mostly derivative, ugly, international style buildings

Great docu!!!! Thanks…more like this

Please make a video on Indian architect Achyut Kanvinde and his brutalist architecture.
His projects in city Anand have been unoticed for long would like someone to acknowledge his contributions.

Absolutely amazing work!! Felt like a really good movie.

as a Japanese descendant 3rd generation in Brazil, I’m only now getting in touch with the creative production from Japan, so this video is important to me and is very well done, tks!

Beautifully made video with just perfect voiceovers that stuck to the essence of what we were watching. Thank you for making this video on one of the greatest architects of 20th century. Looking forward to more well-thought long documentaries (30minutes was a perfect duration). Appreciation for not adding unneeded drama to the video.

i would like to visit all these great structure, would you please check on my all time fav mies van der rohe, we would enjoy a video about him too as we enjoyed the previous once, thank you.

Great video! I love watching your videos on individual architects

Nice video.Great Architect who shaped the future course of Japanese Architecture...could we have a separate video of his Iconic Stadium Building. Thankyou

Great video! "Metabolism " still has a place.
