Tadao Ando is renowned for his Chapel on the Water in Shimukappu and his Church of the Light outside Osaka .

His bare and simple style, influenced by Zen and haiku, is more about inner calm and strength than about harsh outward representation.

His new book, Light and Space , is a collaboration with Richard Pare , the photographer Ando trusted to record the essence of his designs.

The Church of the Light in Osaka was born precisely because of such extreme conditions as a result of a tight budget.

The importance of natural light seems to be a constant in your structures.

To master light, that alone is enough to create architecture, he says.

His ideal is a concrete that embodies the refined sensibility of the Japanese aesthetic.

In architecture, I prioritize, above all else, the ability to coexist with nature.

My goal is to create a home that embraces the unique character of its site.

From March to July 2025 , I will be holding an exhibition in my home base, Osaka , offering a comprehensive look at my entire career up to the present.
