| The Tadao touch. This title covers Ando s complete works to date. Philippe Starck describes him as a mystic in a country which is no longer mystic. Philip Drew calls his buildings land art that struggle to emerge from the earth. He is the only architect to have won the discipline s four most prestigious prizes: the Pritzker, Carlsberg, Praemium Imperiale, and Kyoto Prize. His name is Tadao Ando, and he is the world s greatest living architect. Combining influences from Japanese tradition with the best of Modernism, Ando has developed a completely unique building aesthetic that makes use of concrete, wood, water, light, space, and nature in a way that has never been witnessed in architecture. His designs include award-winning private homes, churches, museums, apartment complexes, and cultural spaces throughout Japan, as well as in France, Italy, Spain, and the USA. This book, created at the height of Ando s illustrious career, and thoroughly updated for this new 2010 edition, presents his complete works to date. |
