In this manuscript, Boyd writes an in-depth profile of Kenzo Tange’s St Mary’s Cathedral based on his visit to the building in 1965 (pdf). The article details the Cathedral’s complex geometry and highlights Tange’s long history with ‘plastic form’ in architecture, beginning with the Hiroshima Children’s Library (1953). Boyd draws parallels between the church’s hyperbolic paraboloids and the sweeping curves of a pagoda or the roof of a shrine, asserting that Tange’s building is a “triumphant combination of modern international technology and Japanese feeling.” In emphasising the cultural specificity of Tange’s design, Boyd contrasts it with Pietro Belluschi’s similar design for St Mary’s Cathedral in San Francisco, which he suggests lacks Tange’s artistry and is instead “an inevitable and logical consequence of the conceptual idea.” This piece was published in the US journal Architectural Forum in September 1965, accompanied by photos and architectural drawings provided by Tange’s office (pdf).
