Book Reviews of Ando: Complete Works (Jumbo) (German Edition)

Book Review: Great book : Deceptive title
Summary: 4 Stars

A great look at awe inspiring architecture. This book is loaded with large sized color and b&w photographs, plans, building sections, and sketches. A brief, shall I say minimalist, description of each presented building is provided. Also, an informative opening essay covers Ando's evolving career and design philosophy.

The only caveat: this book covers the 'complete work' only through the device of a thumbnail appendix containing very small b&w photos of all of Ando's work. The wonderful "Church on the Water" is an unfortunate victim of this ultra-minimal, as well as deceptive, approach. It will therefore be necessary to look elsewhere for those buildings that have not received truly complete coverage. However, the works included here are well presented and well worth contemplation and study.

Summary of Ando: Complete Works (Jumbo) (German Edition)

The Tadao touch: Ando's complete works to date New format - new price! "In architecture, there is a part that is the result of logical reasoning and a part that is created through the senses. There is always a point where they clash. I don't think architecture can be created without that collision." -Tadao Ando Philippe Starck describes him as a "mystic in a country which is no longer mystic." Philip Drew calls his buildings "land art" that "struggle to emerge from the earth." He is the only architect to have won the discipline's four most prestigious prizes: the Pritzker, Carlsberg, Praemium Imperiale, and Kyoto Prize. His name is Tadao Ando, and he is the world's greatest living architect. Combining influences from Japanese tradition with the best of Modernism, Ando has developed a completely unique building aesthetic that makes use of concrete, wood, water, light, space, and nature in a way that has never been witnessed in architecture. Ando has designed award-winning private homes, churches, museums, apartment complexes, and cultural spaces throughout Japan, as well as in France, Italy, Spain, and the USA. This book, created at the height of Ando's illustrious career, presents his complete works to date.
