Modernity, space and national representation at the Tokyo Olympic 1964
In order to make up for Japans reputation in World War 1 this brought the Tokyo Olympic Games, to try and improve their reputation. This article discusses how the olympics can improve a city which, which I completely agree with, as billions of pounds will be spent in order to achieve a sense of modernity.I feel the abstract forms show the architectural style that was developed post war Japan. Within the article it states that the complex context would only be understood by people within Japan. Making the context of great importance as it creates a symbol for Japan. I found the lecture difficult to follow and didn't give me any further knowledge of the Tokyo Olympic therefore I'm glad I did the reading before attending the lecture.
