Product Description

Tadao Ando (*1941, Osaka/Japan) did not receive any formal architectural schooling. Ando rejects the rampant consumerism visible within much of today's architecture. In opposition to traditional Japanese architecture, he creates spaces of enclosure rather than openness. He uses walls to establish a human zone and to counter the monotony of commercial architecture.
