A bird's-eye view of Osaka's architectural history and urban history research since the modern era shows a lot of attention to pre-war historical buildings, commonly called modern architecture, while building buildings and urban development from post-war to high-growth period Unfortunately, we cannot recognize the collective results. With the recent wave of redevelopment, post-war buildings were dismantled, and the materials at the time of construction were scattered and disposed of, the architectural urban culture of the post-war Showa era, which connects the pre-war and present, has fallen out of history, and eventually from memory It can be said that it is at risk of disappearing. This time, we invited construction companies, architects, archivists, intellectual property law researchers, and visual culture researchers to explore the possibilities of utilization while unraveling the preservation status of architectural archives, issues in preservation and disclosure, and historical and cultural values.
This talk was held jointly with the Nakanoshima Museum of Art, Osaka Preparatory Office and focused on architectural archives in Osaka and Kansai, where the Preparatory Office is promoting the preservation and research of materials with Osaka City University.
