Tadao Ando: Complete Works

Rate this book
Tadao Ando (b.1941) is Japan's leading architect and a designer, with a dazzling international reputation. This complete catalogue of Ando's work examines in close detail more than 100 buildings and projects, all illustrated by drawings, sketches, plans and other material from the architect's own studio. Francesco Dal Co introduces this exhaustive survey, which ranges from the smallest of Ando's private houses from the 1970s to major commissions like the Church on the Water in Hokkaido (1988), the Japanese Pavilion for Expo 92 in Seville and the Naoshima Contemporary Art Museum (1992). A revealing interview with Ando, conducted by Hiroshi Maruyama, accompanies a series of essays on Ando's architecture by a range of respected international critics including Peter Eisenman, Kenneth Frampton, Tom Heneghan and François Chaslin, together with selected writings by Ando himself.

다다오 안도는 세계에서 가장 위대한 건축가중 한명이다. 내가 그를 처음 알게된것은 대학시절 만난 건축을 공부하는 친구를 통해서였다. 나는 당시 그 친구와 함께 내가가진 비쥬얼 감각과 그가 가진 공간적 감각을 결합한 재밌는 작업을 많이 하곤 했다. 어쨌든 그를 통해서 많은 건축가들을 알었고 안도의 건축물들을 좋아하게 되었다. 그의 건축물들은 일본 특유의 미니멀하고 절제된 요소와 모던니즘의 결합으로써 전례없는 콘크리트, 나무, 물, 빛, 공간, 자연을 완벽하고 독특하게 디자인해내었다. 이 책은 안도의 화려한 고지에서 현재까지의 모든 작품을 싣고있다.
