Discover the singular aesthetic of Tadao Ando, the only architect to have received the four most prestigious honors in his field: the Pritzker Prize, the Carlsberg Prize, the Kyoto Prize, and the Praemium Imperiale.

This updated survey spans the full breadth of Ando’s career, including striking recent projects such as the Bourse de Commerce in Paris and the Nakanoshima Children’s Book Forest in Osaka. Each project is presented through photographs and architectural drawings that reveal Ando’s extraordinary use of concrete, wood, water, light, space, and natural form.

Featuring award-winning residences, churches, museums, housing complexes, and cultural spaces from across Japan as well as South Korea, France, Italy, Germany, Mexico, and the United States, this compact edition offers an intimate look at one of the defining masters of modern architecture.
