TADAO ANDO

Tadao is a Japanese architect whose approach to

architecture was categorized by Francesco Dal Co

as critical regionalism. Ando has led a storied life,

working as a truck driver and boxer prior to settling

on the profession of architecture, despite never

having taken formal training in the field. He visited

buildings designed by renowned architects like Le

Corbusier, Ludwig Mies Van der Rohe, Frank Lloyd

Wright and Louis Kahn before returning to Osaka in

1968 and established his own design studio, Tadao

Ando Architect and Associates.

He works primarily in exposed cast-in-place

concrete and is renowned for an exemplary

craftsmanship which invokes a Japanese sense of

materiality, junction and spatial narrative through

the pared aesthetics of international modernism.

In 1995, Ando won the Pritzker Architecture Prize,

considered the highest distinction in the field of

architecture. He donated the $100,000 prize money

to the orphans of the 1995 Kobe earthquake

The region-Chikatsu Asuka was the scene of the events

Minimalism describes movements in various forms of art and design,

especially visual art and music, where the work is set out to expose the essence or identity

of a subject through eliminating all non-essential forms, features or concepts. Minimalism is

any design or style in which the simplest and fewest elements are used to create the

maximum effect.

The term minimalism is also used to describe a trend in design and

architecture where in the subject is reduced to its necessary elements.

The term ‘minimalism’ is a trend from early 19th century and gradually became

an important movement in response to the over decorated design of the

previous period The concept of minimalist architecture is to strip everything down to its

essential quality and achieve simplicity

The idea of simplicity appears in many cultures, especially the Japanese

traditional culture of Zen Philosophy.
