"In architecture, part of creation comes from logical reasoning and another part from the senses. There is always a point where these two elements come into conflict. I don't think architecture can be created without this collision." Philippe Starck sees in him a "mystic in a country that is no longer mystical". Philip Drew talks about his creations as a "land art" which "struggles to come out of the ground". He is the only architect to have won the four most prestigious honors of his profession: the Pritzke Carlsberg, Kyoto and Praemium Imperiale prizes. His name: Tadao Ando, ??one of the greatest living architects. Combining influences from Japanese tradition and the best of modernism, he gradually developed a unique aesthetic that appeals to concrete, wood, water, light, space and nature in ways unique in the history of architecture. In Japan as well as in France, Italy, Spain and the United States Ando has designed numerous private residences, churches, museums, apartment buildings and cultural centers which have earned him multiple distinctions. This book, produced at the height of his career, brings together his complete work to date. 5500 g. Seller Inventory # 61964
