The minimalist concrete architecture of Tadao Ando is deeply rooted in both Japanese traditions and Western architecture. This book explores how Ando merges these influences, examining his work through a systematic and chronological analysis of the sources that have shaped his architectural thinking. The author elucidates the principles and constants that underpin Ando’s buildings, situating them within the context of his distinctive ideas and intentions. Yann Nussaume, a teacher at the Ecole Nationale Supérieure d’architecture in Paris, draws on his extensive knowledge of Japanese and Chinese architecture to provide insights into Ando's unique approach. Through this exploration, readers gain a deeper understanding of how Ando's minimalist style reflects a synthesis of cultural influences, highlighting the significance of context in his architectural philosophy. The book serves as a comprehensive study of Ando's work, revealing the intricate connections between tradition and modernity that define his architectural vision.
