Discover the completely unique aesthetic of Tadao Ando, the only
architect ever to have won the discipline's four most prestigious
prizes: the Pritzker, Carlsberg, Praemium Imperiale, and Kyoto
Prize. Philippe Starck defines him as a "mystic in a country which
is no longer mystic." Philip Drew calls his buildings "land art" as
they "struggle to emerge from the earth." His designs have been
described as haiku crafted from concrete, water, light, and space.
But to Ando, true architecture is not expressed in metaphysics or
beauty, but rather through space that embodies physical wisdom.
This thoroughly updated edition spans the breadth of his entire
career, including such stunning new projects as the Shanghai Poly
Theater and the Clark Center at the Clark Art Institute in
Williamstown, Massachusetts. Each project is profiled through
photographs and architectural drawings to explore Ando's
unprecedented use of concrete, wood, water, light, space, and
natural forms. Based on the massive XXL monograph, this edition
brings the architect's definitive career overview to an accessible
format.
