Tadao Ando at Naoshima
Book (italiano):
What began in 1985 as a plan for a children's camp on the Japanese island of Naoshima has grown to become an amazing arts complex, privately funded by the Benesse Corporation. Arts writer Jodidio tells the story of this blossoming and the creation of the museums and other buildings by architect Tadao Ando. The designs and beautiful photographs illustrate the philosophy of the architecture blending into the landscape. The book charts the building process beginning in 1988 and continuing until 2006. In keeping with the goal of leaving the site as natural as possible, many of the buildings are sunk into the ground with only skylights peeking out. There are also photographs of other Ando buildings, some made in collaboration with other artists. Annotation ©2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
