Individual architects & architectural firms

This comprehensive monograph on Pritzker prizewinning architect Tadao Ando covers the span of his impressive career, with previously unpublished material and insight into his sources of inspiration.

This in-depth monograph offers insight into Tadao Ando's sober and elegant architecture through photographs, architectural drawings, and descriptions of eighty of his most significant works. Self-taught, the Corbusier-influenced architect opened his Osaka studio in 1969. Today, his notable works span the globe: London's Tate Modern; St. Louis's Pulitzer Arts Foundation; Osaka's Church of the Light; Paris's UNESCO Meditation Space; Venice's Palazzo Grassi; Abu Dhabi's Maritime Museum; and exceptional buildings in South Korea, Taiwan, China, Sri Lanka, Mexico, Germany, and throughout the United States.

Japanese design principles-from the use of concrete, simple geometric volumes, and the integration of natural elements such as light or water-are essential elements that Ando uses to provoke a physical experience through his architecture.

Reviews for Tadao Ando: Endeavours

Eighty of Pritzker Prize-winning architect Tadao Ando's buildings are featured in this new book by Ando and Masao Furuyama. While Ando is famous for the sweeping nature of his constructions and integrating concrete and natural elements into projects that include London's Tate Modern, Venice's Palazzo Grassi and St. Louis' Pulitzer Arts Foundation, this glimpse at his work includes personal material like colored pencil drawings from his travel notebook, architectural drawings and an interview with the architect himself. --JEZEBEL.COM
