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.
Art Edition (No. 1–100), with an original sketch of the site-specific installation Walter De Maria at Chichu Art Museum, Naoshima, on Japanese rice paper, signed by Tadao Ando. The book and artwork come in a red leather box designed by Ando.
The author: Philip Jodidio studied art history and economics at Harvard and edited Connaissance des Arts for over 20 years. His TASCHEN books include the Homes for Our Time series and monographs on numerous major architects, including Norman Foster, Tadao Ando, Renzo Piano, Jean Nouvel, and Zaha Hadid.
The artist: Tadao Ando (born in 1941) is one of the world’s most renowned contemporary architects. Entirely self taught, he founded Tadao Ando Architect & Associates in 1969 after an extended journey through Europe, Africa, and Asia. He is a recipient of the Pritzker Prize (1995), RIBA Royal Gold Medal (1997), AIA Gold Medal (2002), and Praemium Imperiale (1996). Ando continues to work from his native Osaka.
