Abstract The conservation of the Japanese modern architecture in 1970's was made with different concepts from that of 1960's. This study is to examine the change of the concepts in 3 different aspect(academism, administration, and journalism).
Firstly, the interest of academic field was shifted from architectural evaluation of individual buildings in ‘Meiji period', to the architectures in ‘Taisho period' and the evaluation as scenery together with surroundings. Secondly, the decisive factor in administrative determination of architectures as cultural assets was changed to aesthetic and architectural value, from cultural and historical one's in 1960's. Thirdly in journalism, the modern architecture was evaluated from the view of ‘amenity', ‘community', and campaign of ‘Machinami'. And eventually, the conservation concept was mainly led by the journals.
