Explores the Architecture of the First Tokyo Olympics

"The 1964 Tokyo Olympics was only a moment in time, but that bright flash of summer will be forever remembered by those who were there. For the rest of us, only weary concrete remains."

Meanwhile, the old stadium, an architectural wonder by #KenzoTange will be soon demolished instead of being renovated. (less money to be made in renovating a building than building a new one)That's #sustainability, Takamatsu-style. (and Japan-style too, don't get me wrong)

More details about Tange's Gymnasium and the whole situation. I'm glad that they interviewed Kawanishi-san for this. He's been leading the preservation effort.

You can sign the petition (linked to in the article) if you think that culture, heritage, and those sorts of things matter.
