Description

The most recent volume in our popular Conversations series features Japanese architect Tadao Ando. One of the vital celebrated living architects, Ando is absolute best known for crafting serenely austere structures that fuse Japanese building traditions with Western modernism. His minimalist masterworks-geometric forms clad in silky-smooth exposed concrete-are suffused with natural light and set in easiest harmony with the landscape. In these highlights from lectures delivered on the University of Tokyo’s Graduate School of Architecture, Ando candidly describes his experiences as a in large part self-taught practitioner, tracing his development from an early interest within the traditional building craft of his native Japan through his political awakening within the turbulent 1960s to his current stature as some of the world’s foremost architects. Along with exploring his aesthetic influences and working process, Ando offers students a road map not only for maintaining professional integrity, but in addition for becoming effective agents of change on the earth.
