“TASCHEN has compiled Tadao Ando's sketches and drawings in a volume comprising almost 600 pagesAnd as you leaf through the pages, look at the images, and read the texts that Ando has written to accompany them, you experience the same effect as when you enter his buildings. Calm, relaxation, contemplation. What a masterpiece by a great master." * Die Zeit *
“I want to condense the intent behind the design into a single drawing. Drawings are an architect’s words.” * Tadao Ando *
