Tadao Ando
Tadao Ando is a well-known Japanese architect whose style is marked by a clean minimal
look. His work can often be recognised by a sense of simplicity and focuses on inner
feeling rather than outward appearance. Having been exposed to the religious culture of
Buddhism in Japan, Ando became aware of relating architecture to spirituality and nature.
In order to practise the idea of simplicity, Ando's architecture is mostly constructed with
concrete and just a few other materials such as glass and steel.
A remarkable fact about Ando is that he is a self-taught architect. He was first inspired by the work
of architect Frank Lloyd Wright when he saw the Imperial Hotel on a trip to Tokyo in high school.
After high school, Ando worked for a brief period as a professional boxer. He eventually
decided to leave his boxing career to pursue architecture by taking evening classes to learn
drawing and interior design. He visited buildings designed by renowned architects around
the world before returning to Osaka in 1968 to establish his own design studio. Despite his
self-taught educational background, Ando went on to receive the Pritzker Prize in 1995,
widely recognised as architecture’s highest award. He has won other top awards in
architecture, including the Praemium Imperiale, the Gold Medal of the Royal Institute of
British Architects, and the Gold Medal of the American Institute of Architects.
Ando has designed everything from homes to churches to museums. Some of his best-known works
include the Church of Light in Osaka, the Water Temple in Awaji Island, the Hill of Buddha Temple in
Sapporo, and the Punta Della Dogana Museum in Venice. No matter what kind of building he is des igning,
Ando uses the same approach. To him, each space is a residence that houses a heart and a spirit. His
only job is to make that sentiment visible, which has always been his guiding philosophy.
78 What is significant about the fact that Ando received the Pritzker Prize?
a Ando has had no formal education in architecture.
b Ando doesn’t believe there should be prizes in architecture.
c It is the highest award in architecture.
d It is given to only a few architects.
