GA ARCHITECT: TADAO ANDO 2001-2007

Description

More than 40 projects by the celebrated Japanese architect are included in this extensive volume, both realized and as yet conceptual. From the Modern Art Museum in Forth Worth, Texas, USA, and the Ground Zero Project in New York City to the Piccadilly Gardens Regeneration in London and the Abu Dhabi Maritime Museum, United Arab Emirates, plus numerous houses, schools and other projects in Japan and elsewhere across the globe, the publication offers unique insight into his work at the beginning of the 21st century. A preface by Ando himself, ‘Explorations of Site’, completes the volume.
