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.

Review: Ein sehr gutes Buch über einen der ganz groÃen Architekten unserer Zeit. Man bekommt einen gutenÃberblick über die wichtigsten Arbeiten und erfährt zudem, das Tadao Ando kein Architekturstudiumim herkömmlichen Sinn gemacht hat, sondern sich vier Jahre lang überall auf der Welt sozusagen vorOrt an unzähligen Bauwerken seine Architekturausbildung vorgenommen hat. Der Prizkerpreis sowieunglaublich viele andere Preise und Auszeichnungen sprechen für sich. Tadao Ando hat auÃerdem einesehr soziale Einstellung und spendet daher jedes Preisgeld für Kinder ohne Eltern und Heimat.
