Kenzo Tange and the Metabolist Movement: Urban Utopias of Modern Japan

A rigorously written piece of history and criticism in architecture and urbanism generated and continuously refined through multiple phases over a span of nearly 20 years. The Foreword by Arata Isozaki is an extremely interesting essay that traces the history of Metabolism and its era from Isozaki’s point of view as a protagonist as well as a critic. Richly illustrated with fantastic images chosen from an enormous pool accumulated through many years’ research and outreach.
