In this essential TASCHEN introduction to Tadao Ando we explore the
hybrid of tradition, modernism, and function that allows his
buildings to enchant architects, designers, fashion designers, and
beyond. Through key projects including private homes, churches,
museums, apartment complexes, and cultural spaces, we explore a
uniquely monumental yet comforting aesthetic that draws as much on
the calm restraint of Japanese tradition as the compelling
modernist vocabularies of Bauhaus and Le Corbusier. With featured
projects in Japan, France, Italy, Spain, and the United States, we
see not only Ando's global reach but also his refined sensitivity
for the environs: the play of light through windows, and, in
particular, the interaction of buildings with water. From the
mesmerizing Church of the Light in Osaka to the luminous Punta
della Dogana Contemporary Art Center in Venice, this is a radiant
tour through a distinctly contemporary form as much as a timeless
appeal of light, elements, and equilibrium. About the series Born
back in 1985, the Basic Art Series has evolved into the
best-selling art book collection ever published. Each book in
TASCHEN's Basic Architecture series features: an introduction to
the life and work of the architect the major works in chronological
order information about the clients, architectural preconditions as
well as construction problems and resolutions a list of all the
selected works and a map indicating the locations of the best and
most famous buildings approximately 120 illustrations (photographs,
sketches, drafts, and plans)
