Description and Table of Contents
Description
Tadao Ando born in 1941 in Osaka is one of the most important contemporary Japanese architects. He developed a radically new architecture characterised by the use of unfinished reinforced concrete structures. Using a geometric simplicity which reveals a rich and subtle approach to space, the buildings share the serenity and clarity that characterise traditional Japanese architecture. This book focuses on the Japanese influences upon Western architecture and presents three buildings of Tadao Ando: the Vitra Seminar House in Weil am Rhein (Germany), the Naoshima Contemporary Art Museum (Japan) and Fabrica Benetton Communication Research Center in Villorba/Treviso (Italy).
