Tadao Ando is one of the world's greatest living architects. This book provides an introduction to Ando's work, including private homes, churches, museums, apartment complexes, and cultural spaces throughout Japan, and in France, Italy, Spain, and the USA.

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.

Moderner Minimalismus mit japanischem TouchPhilippe Starck beschreibt ihn als "mystisch in einem Land, das nicht länger mystisch ist". Drew Philip nennt seine Gebäude "Land Art", die gleichsam aus der Erde wächst. Er ist der einzige Architekt, der die vier wichtigsten Preise seiner Branche gewonnen hat: der Pritzker, Carlsberg, Praemium Imperiale und Kyoto Preis. Er heißt Tadao Ando und ist einer der großartigsten lebenden Architekten der Welt. Ando verbindet Einflüsse der japanischen Tradition mit dem Besten der Moderne und hat eine völlig neue Ästhetik geschaffen, die auf bislang einzigartige Weise mit Beton, Holz, Wasser, Licht, Raum und Natur arbeitet. Dieses Buch ist eine perfekte Einführung in sein Werk. Es zeigt Privathäuser, Kirchen, Museen, Apartmentgebäude und kulturelle Bauten in Japan, Frankreich, Italien, Spanien und den Vereinigten Staaten.
