Introduction to Art Archive XXIX Yoshio Taniguchi in Keio: Intersecting Architectural Perspectives
Architect Yoshio Taniguchi (1937–2024) created new environments for Keio University in resonant dialogue with the architecture of others. At Keio Yochisha Elementary School, Taniguchi provided the New Yochisha Gymnasium and the New Wing “Shinkan 21,” establishing a direct connection to the Main Building designed by his father, Yoshiro Taniguchi (1904–1979). He was also responsible for the Keio Shonan Fujisawa Junior and Senior High School buildings, which stand beside the Keio Shonan Fujisawa (SFC) campus designed by his longtime friend Fumihiko Maki (1928–2024). Taniguchi strived to craft structures that speak to their context. This exhibition will explore how his architectural legacy at Keio converses with the work of the modernist masters who shaped the university before him.
