    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Out of the multiple design proposals for Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park, it was Kenzō Tange&#039;s design that is chosen in the end. Tange&#039;s architecture plans is a mixture of modernist design and Japanese tradition. For example, the cenotaph in front of the exhibition hall is based on prehistoric Japanese &quot;haniwa&quot; ceramics. This turn towards traditions is a continuation of the wartime &quot;tradition debate&quot; in Japanese architecture, where architects debate on ways to implement traditional Japanese architectural characteristics in modern buildings as a celebration of Japanese imperialism. By the postwar period, architects began to look toward the more distant prehistoric past of Japan for inspiration as a justification of implementing Japanese conventions without the imperialistic implications.<br />
<br />
The exhibition hall, on the other hand, utilizes modern designs and shows great influence from famous architect Corbusier]]></dcterms:description>
