Informácie o knihe
This hugely revealing journey through the mind and memory of one of architecture’s great poets is told in Tadao Ando’s own words. A very personal volume, it traces five decades of prolific creativity, gathering over 750 sketches, models, and technical drawings that reveal the essence of his practice. From the raw immediacy of pencil lines to the precision of technical drawings, witness the evolution of many of his most famous projects— among them Row House in Sumiyoshi, Rokko Housing, Chichu Art Museum, Bourse de Commerce—not as isolated moments of inspiration, but as living architectural projects, shaped by time, travel, and reflection.More than a monograph, this is a map of Ando’s inner landscape. He remembers light of a stone monastery in southern France, the deep spatial resonance of a stepwell in Ahmedabad, and the labyrinthine mystery of cave dwellings in Cappadocia. Experienced during his early travels in his youth, these memories became seeds.&,nbsp, Learn how these fragments of experience, filtered through body and emotion, reemerged as intense spatial dramas, rendered in concrete, glass and light.Ando has remained faithful to the fragility of the hand-drawn line. For him, it is not the slick perfection of digital models, but the struggle and spontaneity of sketching that captures the true heartbeat of architecture. This book is both a record and a reverie: a meditation on how buildings begin, and how they belong to the flow of time, to memory, and the enduring pursuit of beauty.Also included is an appendix with a complete listing of Ando’s built and unbuilt projects. In Ando’s own words: “Our imaginations may expand endlessly, shaping the invisible scenes in our minds—this is the never-ending story of architecture.”
