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 2018 edition spans the breadth of his entire
career, including such stunning new projects as the Shanghai Poly
Grand Theater and the Clark Center at 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. Featuring designs from award-winning private homes,
churches, museums, and apartment complexes to cultural spaces
throughout Japan, Korea, France, Italy, Spain, and the USA, this
XXL-sized tribute is the definitive overview of this Modernist
master.Also available as an Art Edition accompanied by a print,
limited to 100 copies
