These are the microfilm data of about 15,000 drawings, etc. In addition to drawings for famous works, including the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum, Totsuka Country Club House, Yoyogi National Gymnasium, and Yamanashi Press and Broadcasting Center, there are also works from overseas projects, including Kuwait Sports Center and National Sports Complex in Singapore. There are not only design drawings but also many works, including working drawings and building service drawings. They are precious materials with a strong potential for being helpful in studies not restricted to the design perspective. In addition to drawing materials for architectural works by TANGE Kenzo, there are also copies of his collection of works and copies of drawings of reference works by other design offices.
