ISBN 978-3-8365-7712-0 Edition: German, English, French (multilingual) Consistent minimalism The comprehensive oeuvre of Tadao Ando from 1975 to the present day. Philippe Starck sees him as a "mystic in a no longer mystical land", while Philip Drew describes his buildings as "earth art", as they "strain to rise from the ground". It is no coincidence that Tadao Ando's distinctive architecture has won the four most coveted awards in his field: the Pritzker, the Carlsberg, the Kyoto and the Praemium Imperiale.

Each project is illustrated with photographs and plans t
