Tadao Ando Recent Project 3

The third edition of ‘Recent Project’ features new work by Tadao Ando. A total of ten built and unbuilt projects are presented, including Bourse de Commerce (Pinault Collection) in Paris, the Kröller-Müller Museum in the Netherlands, Nakanoshima Children’s Book Forest in Osaka, Wrightwood 659 in Chicago, LG Art Centre in Seoul, International Pacific University (IPU) in Okayama, and more. In his introductory essay, “Architecture as ‘Jewel Box’ to Stimulate the City”, Ando writes how architecture is implemented through a critical attitude towards an existing city. The more essential the criticism, the more radical its expression, and the more it confronts the existing urban and social systems.
