The creativity and ingenuity of the Japanese architects who are popular as the country\u2019s finest was there on display. Their solutions for the \u2018sprawling urbanism\u2019, which happened in Japan after the Second World War, can actually be adapted today.<\/p>\n<p>Global population has increased manifold, leading to a huge demand for affordable, durable and <a href=\"https:\/\/designbuzz.com\/shimogamo-house-exudes-magical-serenity-of-japan-in-modern-setting\/\">convenient housing<\/a>. People today are quite sensitive to the aesthetic beauty of their dwellings too.

Let us look at some of the architect\u2019s work in detail:<\/p>\n<h2>Japanese visionary architects and their outstanding architectural concepts<\/h2>\n<p>Japanese visionary architects were in the sway of the avant garde architecture movement and their contribution to it was the \u2018Metabolism\u2019 movement. Kenzo Tange was the Japanese architect whom people consider as the father of the movement. This movement lasted for almost a decade in Japan.<\/p>\n<h2>Kenzo Tange\u2019s Tokyo urban development plan<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-48405\" src=\"https:\/\/designbuzz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Kenzo-Tange\u2019s-Tokyo-urban-development-plan.jpg\" alt=\"Kenzo Tange\u2019s Tokyo urban development plan\" width=\"800\" height=\"616\" srcset=\"https:\/\/designbuzz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Kenzo-Tange\u2019s-Tokyo-urban-development-plan.jpg 800w, https:\/\/designbuzz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Kenzo-Tange\u2019s-Tokyo-urban-development-plan-300x231.jpg 300w, https:\/\/designbuzz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Kenzo-Tange\u2019s-Tokyo-urban-development-plan-768x591.jpg 768w, https:\/\/designbuzz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Kenzo-Tange\u2019s-Tokyo-urban-development-plan-600x462.jpg 600w, https:\/\/designbuzz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Kenzo-Tange\u2019s-Tokyo-urban-development-plan-585x450.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Image Source : archeyes.com<\/p>\n<p>Metabolism incorporated innovative, advanced technology and used modular units in the buildings. Kenzo Tange, designed the \u2018Plan for Tokyo\u2019 design concept for the city of Tokyo in 1960. This happened during Japan\u2019s urban development wave in the fifties and sixties. He designed the project in a manner that the city could accommodate expansion, which was bound to happen in a growing metropolis. He solved this problem by creating beautiful architecture that connected places across Tokyo Bay.<\/p>\n<p>Japanese visionary architects such as Kenzo Tange opened up the thought for the future, and showed the way in which to do it. His designs paved the way for innovative urban design. Tange envisioned using one grand axis, which would cross Tokyo Bay and provide the platform for imaginatively designed buildings.<\/p>\n<p>Kenzo Tange designed Yamanashi Broadcasting and Press Centre in the town of Kofu in 1966. In this building, he displayed his knowledge of maximizing space. The building incorporated three different media companies \u2013 Radio station, newspaper printing plane and television studio.<\/p>\n<p>Tange grouped the similar functions of each company in the same floor.\u00a0 For example, the studios on the same floor while the office space at the top. The glass walled office design of Tange can be seen in numerous buildings all over the world today. He even left enough space within the building for future expansion. This space has now been converted into terraces and gardens.<\/p>\n<h2>Kiyonori Kikutake\u2019s Marine City<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-48404\" src=\"https:\/\/designbuzz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Kiyonori-Kikutake\u2019s-Marine-City.jpg\" alt=\"Kiyonori Kikutake\u2019s Marine City\" width=\"800\" height=\"496\" srcset=\"https:\/\/designbuzz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Kiyonori-Kikutake\u2019s-Marine-City.jpg 800w, https:\/\/designbuzz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Kiyonori-Kikutake\u2019s-Marine-City-300x186.jpg 300w, https:\/\/designbuzz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Kiyonori-Kikutake\u2019s-Marine-City-768x476.jpg 768w, https:\/\/designbuzz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Kiyonori-Kikutake\u2019s-Marine-City-600x372.jpg 600w, https:\/\/designbuzz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Kiyonori-Kikutake\u2019s-Marine-City-585x363.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Image Source : researchgate.net<\/p>\n<p>The sign of genius is the ability to see into the future, or future problems and devise solutions for them. Kiyonori Kikutake is another of Japanese visionary architect who was perhaps the one of the first architects in the world to design sustainable buildings. He designed the outstanding \u2018Marine City\u2019, which proposed the concept of a metropolis which would float on the ocean.<\/p>\n<p>As per his unique design, <a href=\"https:\/\/threearts.org\/floating-city-brings-heaven-earth-residents\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the floating city<\/a> would be sustainable, clean, flexible and earthquake proof. Moreover, the design of the city was such that it was situated at a distance from the teeming Tokyo city on mainland Tokyo. Large steel rings would hold the floating city\u2019s circular foundation in place. Therefore, he conceived the foundation of the city to be comprised of bottle-like forms, which could create a rich aquaculture industry.<\/p><div class=\"79269cf5c79b40a0fba5c0560fa469d3\" data-index=\"2\" style=\"float: none; margin:10px 0 10px 0; text-align:center;\">\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\"\r\n     data-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-9477973674766713\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"8885944693\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n\n<p>Kikutake\u2019s original and innovative idea was radical for the times, but now it seems quite reasonable.

His design for the \u2018City in the Air\u2019 was first put forward in 1960. Furthermore, this plan for the city was a multi-layered city, which had parking lots and highways interwoven between apartment and office compounds.<\/p>\n<p>In the amazing design of the suspended city, the structures resemble trees, growing next to each other. The branches functioned like passageways to residential units, while the tree-trunk like structures functioned as huge supports.<\/p>\n<p>This project of Arata Isozaki was also known as \u2018Clusters in the Air\u2019, as the tree like structures created the look of a concrete forest cluster.

However, residential buildings fill in the gaps between the buildings\/towers. This created a pattern that could continue endlessly (hypothetically). \u2018Helix City\u2019 design was inspired by the discovery of DNA (which also has a helical structure) in 1953.<\/p>\n<h2>2.

However, he envisioned this city to survive the onslaught of flood, by using grid like structures. These concrete slab structures were raised on some stilts, on agricultural soil, in order to synchronize rural landscape with the urban.\u00a0In addition, the grid\u2019s design provided for water services, road, electricity, monorails, schools and administrative offices.<\/p>\n<p>The houses are mushroom shaped, had 1-3 floors, wooden frames and aluminum cap. The houses were separate units, but were linked together to form a village. It had enough space for 200 people, and the structure could grow as well as change as per the requirement.<\/p>\n<h2>3.
