Description: 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 edition spans the breadth of his entire career including such acclaimed new projects as the Bourse de Commerce in Paris and the Nakanoshima Children's Book Forest in Osaka. 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 South Korea France Italy Germany Mexico and the US a this edition brings you up close and personal with a Modernist master.
