Tadao ando

INTRODUCTION TO

When conceptualizing his structures Ando took inspiration from Zen philosophies as an underlying constant, with the interplay of nature and artificial structures often resulting in complex interweaving three-dimensional designs that come together to form large geometric shapes which transverse both interior and exterior spaces – intended to represent the dual nature of existence.

I do not believe Architecture has to speak too much. It should remain silent and let nature in the guise of sunlight and wind. - Tadao ando

WHAT TRULY INSPIRE US ABOUT ANDOHis respect for nature was integral to his work ethic and

rather than hindering him it pushed his work to new heights of greatness.

We borrow from nature the space upon which we build - Ando

His design concepts and materials have a crucial role in the aesthetics of his work.Honesty of materialsWorking with smooth-as-silk concretewith the thin, fragile transparency of glass the ruggedness of steel complete his palette from which he paintsHe does not veneer, rather he uses the brutal beauty of concrete formwork to texture his buildings, inside and out.

INTERLOCKING & OVERLAPING

A series of interlocking geometric shapes in a muted teal shade give a flattened perspective to another image, which appears to reference the panes of glass and tall walls of Tadao Ando's 4x4 House in Kobe.

ARCHISHAPE

•.Tadao Ando’s constancy of form gives his work merit and timeless appeal.

•clean line, and sheer simplicity.

•Ando orchestrates masses and voids

•The structure is firm, tranquil, and even a bit mysterious.

•There are no irrelevant ornaments.

•Avoids direct entry to the interior

•Creates a kind of hierarchical approach by using paths, pillars, walls and colonnades

TADAO ANDO’S ESSENCE OF STYLE

NARIWA MUSEUM OF ART

YEARS OF CONSTRUCTION: 1992-1994

A museum dedicated toimpressionist painterTorajima Kojima.

CONCEPT BEHIND NARIWA MUSEUMThis work again using reinforced

concrete to neutralize the importance of the building and to give elevate the natural landscape.

The approach is a bit of a

labyrinth, that encourages visitors to notice the attractiveness of the mountain landscape.

an artificial pond being the

link that provides continuity and fluidity to this design.

JOINERY

Bold interlocking

Pure geometry

ENTRYBarrier like façade at entryno openings

No direct entry to interior

Access to the museum is via an entrance ramp that leads visitors on a path upward and away from the street and over an artificial pond created in the mountainside.

OPENINGS Wall window

Through the large openings, the interior of the space can commune with the landscape

SEMI OUTDOOR SPACES

“Light: the creator of relationships that constitute the world… continually re- invents the world”-ANDO

WATER-COURT a water-court is an above-defined courtyard filled with water instead of dry ground.

In Nariwa museum courtyard is partially enclosed by a natural slope, by the surrounding landscape close-by and by artificial pond along side surfaces of concrete walls.

SCALE AND PROPORTION

Scale: MonumentalProportion: Structural and Manufactured

MATERIALS

Using reinforced concrete,

the edifice feels made from

an authentic material. Ando

has shown that the use of

concrete allows multiple

formal and structural

variants.
