KENGO KUMA
- Kuma uses a modular unit at a micro scale to evoke complexity and delicacy on a macro scale.
- Anti-Volume: Reducing a building to it’s absolute, bare and necessary elements & in doing so achieving a degree of transparency and material expressiveness.
- Defeated architecture is the co-existance of building and context.
- The transition of space is fluid through the choice and composition of material that is sympathetic to the context.
KENZO TANGE
- Architecture as a balance of gender through brutalism (brute strength/structure) and ornament (delicacy/decoration).
- Open to biological growth through architecture and mass, i.e. the founding concept behind 'metabolism'.
- Architecture as informed by the patterns of its inhabitants.
- Organisation of urban space through a civic axis - connecting the building and transportation in a linear fashion.
