Tsuyoshi Tane – Archaeology of the Future II

The second volume in an anthology on Tsuyoshi Tane’s evolving architectural practice. Featuring seventeen recent projects, including major commissions currently underway, such as the New Main Building of the Imperial Hotel Tokyo and the Sensoji Temple Treasure Museum, it highlights his ongoing investigation into “archaeological thinking”, a design approach rooted in uncovering memory, place, and the deep layers of history that shape the built environment. Each project thus emerges from extensive research: archival, material, cultural, spatial. Through sketches, studies, and project narratives, it reveals how ideas are patiently excavated and woven into architectural forms.
