Type: article

Abstract: This study investigated the site planning for the Tokyo Taisho Exposition in 1914. Focusing particularly on the discourses of architects Seiichiro Chujo and Minoru Ikeda, it clarified the following points. The site plan was formulated considering the renovation of existing facilities and the transplantation of trees. The First Site was created through the fusion of the Secessionist movement and fine art. The Second Site emphasized the zeitgeist of the exposition era, arranging pavilions based on Orientalist styles. The architects involved in the exposition imbued the entire site plan with its thematic concept.
