Yoyogi National Gymnasium

Saturday, 14th January 2006 by James

Yoyogi National Gymnasium in Yoyogi Park, Tokyo, was designed by Kenzo Tange to house a gymnasium, basketball court and Olympic swimming pool for the 1964 Summer Olympics. His futuristic tent-like design later inspired the architect behind the 1972 Olympic Park in Munich.

Thanks to Simon Madine.
