Olympic to Bampaku Kyodai Event No Design Shi (Chiku Ma Shinsho)

[Machine Translation] The confusion surrounding the competition for the main stadium and emblem for the 2008 Tokyo Olympics has forced a rethinking of the significance of holding such a huge event. This has forced a reconsideration of the significance of holding such a huge event. To begin with, the Olympics and design have a close relationship. For the 1964 Tokyo Olympics, Japan's design community mobilized all of its resources, and all fields of design collaborated to develop a well-coordinated design policy. As an extension of this policy, the design policy was also demonstrated at the 1970 Osaka Expo. This book begins by explaining the process by which the concept of "design" took root in the postwar era, and traces the design of the Olympics and Expo '70 and the huge national projects, and the contributions of Tange Kenzo, Kamekura Yusaku, and others to these projects.

二〇二〇年東京オリンピックの、メインスタジアムやエンブレムのコンペをめぐる混乱。それは、巨大イベントの開催意義について再考を迫る契機となった。そもそもオリンピックとデザインは、密接な関係にある。一九六四年東京オリンピックでは、日本のデザイン界が総力を結集し、各分野が連携を図り、統率のとれたデザインポリシーが展開された。その延長上に、一九七〇年大阪万博でもデザインポリシーは発揮されることになる。本書では、戦後に「デザイン」という概念が定着していく過程から説き起こし、五輪と万博という巨大国家プロジェクトのデザインと、そこに貢献した丹下健三、亀倉雄策らの群像を追う。
