村野藤吾の広島世界平和記念聖堂（1954）の設計過程（その3）：聖堂の基本設計（1948）における形態操作

In the collection of Kyoto Institute of Technology, there are many sketches and drawings scanning variety of exterior compositions of the cathedral. Togo Murano recalled the process was quite difficult to achieve understanding and approval from the priests. This paper analyzes the creative evolution of the cathedral’s exterior form until the conclusion of the schematic design in November 1948. A proposed analytical method was applied on totally undated sketches and drawings to reveal the architect’s morphological creation and development of diverse types in a very short period, as well as his design thinking and strategy in this phase.
