Ando. Complete Works 1975-Today, 2019 Edition - Philip Jodidio

Descriere Ando. Complete Works 1975-Today, 2019 Edition - Philip Jodidio

\n \nDiscover 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.\n \nPhilippe 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.\n \nThis thoroughly updated edition spans the breadth of his entire career, including such stunning new projects as the Shanghai Poly Theater and the Clark Center at the Clark Art Institute in Williamstown, Massachusetts. Each project is profiled through photographs and architectural drawings to explore Ando's unprecedented use of concrete, wood, water, light, space, and natural forms. Based on the massive XXL monograph, this edition brings the architect's definitive career overview to an accessible format.\n
