| Abstract |
During the time when modern architects, exemplified by Le Corbusier(18871965), were exploring new museum buildings in Europe, there was also a simultaneous architectural movement in Japan. This study investigated the formation and development of the concept of the Museum of Unlimited Growth by Le Corbusier, who had great influence on modern museum architecture. Based on the investigation, this study attempts to find a relationship between Le Corbusier's architecture and the Museum of Modern Art(1951) in Kamakura, which represents Japan's first modern museum designed by Junzo Sakakura(19011969), who pursued the concept of modernization and Japanese traditional architecture. Through the structural order of a circulation path and exhibition space, as well as the structure and design characteristics, this study investigates how the architectural relationship between Le Corbusier and Junzo Sakakura influenced the formation of modern Japanese architecture. |
