From the publisher:

"Discover the completely unique aesthetic of Tadao Ando, the only architect ever to have won the discipline’s four most prestigious prizes: the Pritzker, Carlsberg, Praemium Imperiale, and Kyoto Prize.

Philippe Starck defines him as a 'mystic in a country which is no longer mystic.' Philip Drew calls his buildings 'land art' as they 'struggle to emerge from the earth.' His designs have been described as haiku crafted from concrete, water, light, and space. But to Ando, true architecture is not expressed in metaphysics or beauty, but rather through space that embodies physical wisdom."

This book features projects from Ando's entire career, illustrated with photographs and architectural drawings, to provide a comprehensive overview of the architect's practice.
