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: Well printed and bound - Great addition to any library but particularly for anyone with Architectural Interests. Review: Beautifully printed and quality made - Beautifully printed, visual quality is amazing, and had a lot of information about the architect’s project that’s usually not available on general bibliography. I loved it!

This was a gift that seemed well received. It's a book I've purchased before and gave away also...I would still like a copy for myself!

Good for insight, but students, do NOT buy this if you need to find architectural drawings.

Increíble libro. ✨
Tadao Ando es uno de los mejores arquitectos del mundo y su libro lo demuestra. El material, las fotografías y la contraportada están hermosas. El libro lo pedí con otro por lo que me llegó en caja. Lo cual se agradece porque cuando mandan libros en sobre, se maltratan horrible. Lo recomiendo muchísimo. ✨
