The architect of the church of light

Tadao Ando (ぁんどぅただぉ) (1941September 13-), a native of Osaka, Japan, is a Japanese architect. Tadao Ando was born in Osaka. Take advantage of the prize money won in boxing competitions to travel to the United States, Europe, Africa and Asia, and you can also observe the unique buildings in each place. At that time, his photos were used in the works of architect Louis Kahn. Tadao Ando is the brother of twins. The younger brother of the twins is Qiao Xiong Beishan, who opened the Beishan Creative Research Institute in Tokyo, dealing with business consultants and commodity design. The youngest of the three brothers is architect Beishan Kojiro (famous for his cooperation with American architect Peter Eyre Senman). The original architectural work-Rose Garden；; Located in Morita District, Kobe City, 1977, we cooperate with our brother Qiao Xiong's Hamano Commodity Research Institute. Tadao Ando has no formal architectural education and only worked in a construction company for a short time.

After graduating from high school, I attended the Semi Mode seminar (a seminar founded by university professors, which belongs to a kind of university education). Semi Mode workshop was founded in the later period of Changze Festival and is called "Legendary Art School". Graduates include Kazuo Iino, Father-in-law Jin, Takashi Ximen, yohji yamamoto and others, most of whom are creative workers who are active in the front line of the industry. Later, I learned the skills of interior design and drawing with various pipes alone. Before becoming an architect, I worked as an interior designer in many teahouses or cafes around Kansai. Tadao Ando School of Architecture was founded in Osaka from 65438 to 0969, and designed many individual residences. Among them, the "Long Island" in Osaka has been well received, ranging from public buildings to individual residential works, and has won the recognition of the Japanese Architectural Society Award for many times. Since then, Ando has established his own personal style with fair-faced concrete and geometric shapes, which has also been well received by the world. In the1980s, many commercial facilities, temples and churches were designed around Kansai. After 1990, the design cases of public buildings, art galleries and overseas buildings began to increase. Tadao Ando traveled around the world and taught himself architecture after graduating from Lidong University of Technology in Osaka Prefecture. Tadao Ando School of Architecture was founded in 1969.

1976, the yuzhi dragon house in osaka prefecture was completed. It's a two-story concrete house, and its design style has already appeared. Later, it was awarded by the Japanese Architectural Society. 65438-0980 participated in the design of commercial buildings around Kansai, and 65438-0990 participated in large-scale projects such as public buildings and art museum buildings. Residential and commercial buildings built with fair-faced concrete came out one after another, which caused uproar and discussion, and reputation began to accumulate rapidly. From museums, entertainment facilities, religious facilities, offices, etc. His works cover a wide range of fields, usually large buildings. However, some people think that the unique charm of Ando's early small building has been lost. 1995, Tadao Ando won the Pritzker Prize, the highest honor in architecture. He donated $654.38 million to orphans after the Kobe earthquake in 1995. Ando believes that a building must have three elements:

The first element is reliable materials, that is, real materials. This real material can be pure cement or unpainted wood.

The second element is the true and complete geometric form, which provides the foundation and framework for architecture and makes it show to the world. It may be a subjective object, and it is often an object with a three-dimensional structure. When geometric figures are used in architecture, the position of architectural forms in the whole nature can be clearly defined, and nature interacts with geometry. Geometrical forms constitute the whole framework, and also become the screen of the surrounding environment, where people walk, stay, meet unexpectedly, and even have a close relationship with the expression of light. Read out the spatial distribution level through the shadow of light. After such treatment, nature and architecture are both opposite and coexist.

The last element is "nature". Ando's so-called nature generally does not refer to the concept of planting, but refers to artificial nature or architectural nature. He believes that planting is only a way to beautify reality, and the means to symbolize gardening and the seasonal changes of plants in it are extremely rough. The nature he pursues is presented by introducing materials and geometry-based architecture at the same time. 1. In the walls of buildings, some are invasive and some are resistant. In other words, they may be abrupt or rejected. So far, in a series of urban houses I have designed, the walls are undoubtedly invasive, with violent factors in silence. These walls try to question the nature of contemporary society.

In my urban residence, the closed building contains several floors of space and courtyards. The outdoor environment was irrevocably isolated, and a new independent world was born inside.

3. The walls in urban space are essentially different from those that are abrupt or excluded. At first, they seemed to please the audience. In other words, if you come in, you must refuse. If you refuse, you must come in. What they show is a betrayal of architecture.

If the street and the house want to show affinity, the passage should not be a closed corridor. The mutual penetration of public space and private space makes them full of vitality and enables people to experience life in their respective spaces.

Construction sites are ponds on streets and urban rivers, and houses with the sky as the ceiling.
