10 projects that defined the career of Tadao Ando

Tadao Ando of Osaka, Japan is a man who is at the pinnacle of success in his own country. He has emerged as a cultural force in the world as well. In 1995, the Pritzker Architecture Prize was formally presented to him within the walls of the Grand Trianon Palace at Versailles, France. In this video I explore the 10 projects that have defined his career and design aesthetic.

I am a fan of Tadao, and an architect as well. For the Row House, the main reason for the reward is that the house combines performance art into architecture: by walking from one room to another with umbrella in a raining day, one can experience nature by engaging it into his or her daily activities, despite the inconvenience. This may not be functionally good for a house, it showcases a brand new possibilities for future architecture. Another interesting feature about the church of water is its circulation. Very few people know how winding the route is from entry to the main chapel hall. By purposely massively extending the route, Tadao creates a rich experience while walking-a spatial version of a symphony.

[@raghadsan603]

Great video, I'm in love with Tadao's designs, especially 4*4 house

[@openserenity4422]

talking about Tadao Andos work in school was a major reason why I'm studying architecture, his works are just as awe-inspiring now as they were back then :)

[@starmanjesus5679]

well done! thank you

[@nayanpawar6375]

Although the first thing comes in the mind after watching reinforced concrete structures is brutalist architecture but after studying Tadao Ando's beautiful work using concrete! feels that he brings soul and a life to the building! This is a good informative video and I like the way you use the different music for different kinds of Project and somewhere that music can relate the style or language of the building amazing editing keep going, I like your channel ❤ all the best👌

[@blessedarch]

Thank you so much 😀❤️

Gracias 🇨🇴🤍🇨🇴

[@nclamar9311]

goof video blessedarch

[@yousseflahkim]

Very nice video indeed. It would've help us if you could add what principles drove the architect whem he keeps the materials raw or from where he has this sensibility to nature? Is it because of his own history or is it the essence of Japanese culture. Thanks though and keep the good work

[@smitaagrawal7409]

Hi, Can you help me for the case study on Co Working Spaces !?

[@mukondeleliratshilavhi5634]

[@livondiramerian6999]

Buildings should abide by natural laws & resources.

[@TRAVELINGMATHIEU]

would he be classify as a brutalist architect? either way I love his work ..

[@troycequimpo6685]

wheres the kara za theatre?

[@kiranshaji3330]

Nice video Blessed arch. But pronunciation of Tadao is crazy. Please look into it.

[@abbasramadan468]

Number one looks like a kandinsky composition

[@alistairmcdonald2382]

Is Tadao Ando still alive ? Today ?

[@blessedarch]

Yes

[@majormayco]

He never designed a highrise building or skyscraper 😐
