Reviews

Arguably the most significant body of work of the last 20 years. -Architects' Journal Every page raises your level of consciousness and I cannot say how much pleasure it gave. -Architectural Review A superb example of a monograph that is more than simply a catalogue of buildings. Richard Pare's photographs beautifully capture the sublime simplicity, the materiality, and the quality of time in Ando's work. -American Institute of Architects Pare [has a gift] for capturing moments, scenes and viewpoints of a building, inside and out, that even the architect that designed the building is often unaware of... A fascinating insight. -The Essential Journal This is more than an architectural picture book... The photos are accompanied with a forward penned by Ando himself and some of his drawings appear throughout, all adding to insight to one of the most celebrated architects of our time. -Superordinarylife.com
