Abstract

Kenzo Tange was interested in how to express tradition in the process of creation of modern architecture and tried to express the traditionaluty of Japanese architecture in his own way. In particular, Tange expressed Japanese tradition in terms of building materials and components from the point of view of his own 'New Tradition'. Tange created the 'Japanese style of architecture' based on traditional architecture to match the discourse of international architecture and distinguish it from the Western one, by harmonizing the plasticity of Japanese traditional architecture with the Western technology in building materials and components. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze the signs and traces of traditions in the building materials and components in his architecture. Through this study, I would like to have implications for our architecture, which had a very different process and result from Japan in digesting and combining it with traditional architecture although Western civilization was accepted at about the same time.

단게 겐조는 현대건축의 창작 과정에서 전통을 어떻게 표현할 것인가에 관심을 가졌고, 일본건축의 전통성을 자신만의 방식으로 현대건축에 표현하려고 노력하였다. 특히, 단게는 자신이 주장했던 '신(新)전통'의 관점에서 전통을 건축재료나 구성요소적 측면에서 표현하였다. 단게는 건축재료와 구성요소 등에서 일본 전통건축의 조형을 서양의 기술과 조화시킴으로써 국제 건축계의 담론과 상응하면서도 서양의 것과는 구별되도록 전통건축에 근간을 둔 '일본적인 건축양식'을 창조하였다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 단게가 건축에 사용한 건축재료와 구성요소에서의 전통의 표시나 흔적을 찾아 분석하는 것을 목표로 했다. 이와 같은 연구를 통해 서구의 문명을 거의 비슷한 시기에 받아들였음에도 불구하고, 그것을 소화하여 전통건축과 접목하는 데는 일본과 매우 다른 과정과 결과를 가졌던 우리 건축계에 시사점을 갖고자 한다.
