The author argues the construction method of the proportion by Kenzo Tange through the reduction method by the angles of elevation. Even in the cases of simple function buildings of his early works like Hiroshima Peace Center, it is impossible to get complete proportion balance only with the simple drawing methods, because it is necessary to consider the influence of reduction and extension of the angles of elevation to get actual beautiful proportion 3 dimensionally. For this purpose studies of details of sections with models through his eyes is necessary, and as the result he could reach the good works.
