Tadao Ando: The Geometry of human space

This book is a summary of Tadao Ando’s life, philosophy, and works. It started off with a biography of Ando and discussed how his unique life experiences shaped him into the famous self-taught architect we all have known today. The book further discussed the personality of his architecture which most of the time provoke a sense of curiosity and mystery through simple geometry forms and “naked materials”. This led the discussion to 3 recurring themes throughout his works: “The Geometry of Walls”, “The Geometry of the Sky” & “The Aesthetics of Absence”.

Ando’s philosophy is then further analyzed through 20 of his most iconic works from residential projects including ‘Koshino House’ to cultural projects such as ‘Komyo-ji Temple’.
