Tadao Ando, Complete Works - Reviews
"Ando: Complete Works, a massive new book by Philip Jodido from Taschen, shows the evolution of Ando in all his full glory. In this book, even relative eyesores like the uncharacteristically cluttered Awaji Resort complex seem less like a mistake and more like, oh, research in the evolution of an artist`s oeuvre."The Vancouver Sun, Vancouver British ColumbiaCanada |

"L`ancien rédacteur en chef de Connaissance des Arts rassemble sous une même couverture l`ensemble des réalisations de l`architecte japonais Tadao Ando, de ses débuts dans son pays natal jusqu`au sommet de sa gloire récente. Tadao Ando a réussi à mélanger harmonieusement culture japonaise et modernisme, créant une forme de "land art" architectural singulier et reconnu aujourd`hui mondialement."Espaces Contemporains, SuisseSwitzerland |

"Like a slab of raw concrete, this 6kg survey of Tadao Ando's works asserts with its extra large format a mode of comprehending architecture: it is better to look than to read. The 40cm x 30 cm full colour photographs are necessary, it seems to experience the dynamism of Ando's structures."Architectural Interior, SydneyAustralia |

"The new tome about award-winning architect Tadao Ando is a hefty work that will be a boost to your love of space and your biceps (just try lifting it). The 492-page oversized book is a comprehensive survey of the architect`s oeuvre to date and a welcome reference to Andophiles."Array Magazine, New YorkUnited States |
|
"For readers well-versed in Ando`s sublime approach to architecture and his manipulation of human response to space, Ando: Complete Works is an impressive record of the architect`s evolution, evidence of a mind well-grounded in a fundamental understanding of both human nature and his own ideals. For readers less familiar with this master craftsman, this volume introduces Ando`s unique building aesthetic―one that uses concrete, wood, water, light, space and nature in ways that don`t exist elsewhere in architecture."Shelter, New YorkUnited States |

"S`il est, par-delà le monde, un architecte vivant que l`on doit connaître et un livre que l`on doit posséder, c`est bien l`architecte japonais Tadao Ando et ANDO, la monographie que lui a consacré le célèbre éditeur allemand TASCHEN. Pour le 25e anniversaire de l`éditeur, l`occasion nous est donné de revenir sur l`architecte le plus populaire auprès de la profession mais surtout le plus reconnu (…). En publiant son œuvre complet en grand format, l`éditeur TASCHEN rend hommage au plus grand architecte vivant, sous la plume de l`un de ses meilleurs spécialistes, Philip Jodidio."Architecture Bois & Dépendance,TournefeuilleFrance |

"Ando hat ein gewichtiges Gesamtwerk geschaffen, wovon man sich in dem sechs Kilo schweren Band überzeugen kann. 36 von Andos bedeutenden Bauten sind mit grandiosen Fotos, Ausschnitten, Skizzen und Texten detailliert beschrieben."A&W, HamburgGermany |

"Nun sind Tadao Andos Bauten erstmals in einer atemberaubenden Monografie versammelt. Fast 500 Seiten stark und sechs Kilo schwer, gibt der exzellent fotografierte Band einen vollständigen Überblick über das Werk dieses genialen Asketen."Annabelle, BernSwitzerland |
|
"Der TASCHEN Verlag hat nun dem 'Meister aller Klassen' ... einen großformatigen Band gewidmet. Ando in XXL. Dieses auf dem Höhepunkt einer glänzenden Karriere entstandene Buch präsentiert sein bis heute realisiertes Gesamtwerk. Zum ersten Mal werden alle rund zweihundert Gebäude, die der 63jährige Autodidakt Ando weltweit gebaut hat, mit hervorragenden Fotografien, Detailzeichnungen und Grundrissen opulent gezeigt - eine großartige Hommage an den Minimalisten."opus C, KölnGermany |

"Tadao Ando makes massive, seductive monuments; this book is no exception. Its gorgeous, flat expanses weigh in like the concrete slabs comprising his most elegant compositions. Forests of paper and oceans of black ink were lavished upon this starkly monochrome opus that summarises the oeuvre of Japan's most successful architect. ( )...TASCHEN's practically tectonic tribute confirms Ando's coronation within this classic canon."kultureflash.com LondonUnited Kingdom |
