- How does a changing nation find its architectural identy? In a world dominated by modernism and international aesthetics, how do you infuse buildings with the history of tge land, specially when people are keen to not even remember that history. Maybe the answers lie in designs of Kenzo Tange. In a career spanning the entire second half of the twentieth century, Kenzo produced some fantastic buildings in Japan and around the world. But perhaps his biggest contributions to architecture were some that were never built, or ones he wasn’t even an active part of. This is the story of the man who created one of the most beautiful buildings of the 20th century, a man who initiated a whole architectural movement and a man who created the identity of Postwar Japan, today on Blessedarch we are looking at the life and designs of Kenzo Tange.

for someone who is about to take the licensure exam, your works are a huge help, thank you!
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.
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!
"No Computer" so amazing 👏
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.
You are a damn good narrator!
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.
Again wonderfull documentary movies....
Doing great job
Such an Amazing Documentary
Please do a video about architect Laurie baker
Tánge was a brilliant architect - I had the good fortune to see some of his buildings - looking forward to learning more.
Beautifullly done thank you so much, one of the greatest architects of all times
Thank you ❤️
Very well done! wonderfully put together and very interesting and nicely narrated
Thank you for your great work.
thank you for making me discover these masters ,through your passion ! very well edited !
love this documentary and your work !
Wow! I’m excited to watch this! So far im just minutes into this and want to say thank you for putting this together for someone like me, a casual architecture enthusiast.
I am glad you liked it
Absolutely amazing work!! Felt like a really good movie.
Thanks for sharing.
Wooooooooow really good job 👍🏻💘
This documentary was really good, with the additional chapter of analyzing the historical context.
Thank you 👍🏼
Absolutely wonderful Doc ✨
Brilliant work. This channel is going places.
Wonderful video. I learned a lot.
The stacked cube building with round windows has been demolished.
Great video! I love watching your videos on individual architects
Thank you ❤️
Sad to know, Capsule tower is getting demolished.
Yeah it was a sad news. The demolitions was completed last year
Thanks very much. Good intro and definition of some of his important works. I wish you explained his ideas and motif in his contemporary works, dated after 1990.
Hey glad you liked it. Yeah I wanted to include his works in the later years, but I think I chose to instead focus on the most defining of his works, and the ones that made him really famous, and really formed the crucial parts of the narrative. maybe I'll make another video covering the different works of his over the years.
Great subject and great images, but so much repetition of the same statements and the same images, over and over. Why?
Re. IMAGES: Often, I imagine, it is because of the fact that there are not a plethora of images to be had! Especially earlier on in the century (and pre-internet/pre-computer/pre-digital) when a lot fewer photos were taken. And especially after the war.
This was fantastically done my friend. Subscribed and will binge more soon!
Thank you so much
Great docu!!!! Thanks…more like this
Thank you so much. More to come 😃
So thorough and thoughtful! Thank you.

Thank you for the video! I really like how you explained deep inspirations , but in really good, easy way!!
Thank you so much. Glad you liked it :D
Nice video.Great Architect who shaped the future course of Japanese Architecture...could we have a separate video of his Iconic Stadium Building. Thankyou
Now this type of content is known as premium. Absolutely banger brother . I am currently pursuing Electrical Engineering but each and every part related to architectural structure was epitome of content that to for free . Loved it 🔥🔥
(what? Don't understand last part of last sentence; please re-write!)
Thank you for this .I'm recently studying architecture and it has been a passion and I'm really enjoying it .When I see such contents It really inspire me to become a good architect and It's really is fascinated to see how the architecture has been done .
I am glad you liked the video and all the best for your architecture journey,
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.
Thank you
I was in Japan last Spring 2023......naturally Kenzo Tange n the Metabolist Designs were on the Top of my Itineraries....n again, I will be back...soon!...Thanks for featuring KT,......he is my IDOL.!!!

Thank you so much.

What does it really mean to design? Boom mic drop moment
I don’t see anything especially Japanese about his work. Mostly derivative, ugly, international style buildings
Ah the voice of ignorance
