Résumé:
The former missile station in the Hombroich cultural area is the site for another outstanding architectural project that blends harmoniously with its environment. Tadao Ando sees this as an experience that uses a combination of simple building materials, glass and concrete, to create a dialogue between building and nature. Viktor and Marianne Langen’s life work forms the basis for this new art house, which Japanese architect Tadao Ando was contracted to design. It will be completed in the spring of 2004. The first exhibition will be dedicated to a selection of the Langen collection of modern and Japanese art. The Langen Foundation aims in future to stimulate unusual meetings between art and its surrounding architecture. Tadao Ando’s architecture, a built space as an independent sculpture, and the presentation of the art inside it create the possibility of interactive experiences.

Résumé:
Un panorama d'une centaine de maisons illustrant huit décennies de création architecturale au Japon, conçues par 75 architectes ou agences. La sélection permet de découvrir l'évolution des styles, associant originalité et tradition, et des matériaux. Associant créativité et tradition, les maisons d’architecte construites au Japon depuis 1945 sont parmi les plus insolites et les plus fascinantes au monde. Soumis après-guerre à de strictes contraintes légales et spatiales, les architectes nippons n’ont en effet pas eu d’autre choix, pour répondre aux exigences du mode d’habiter japonais, que d’explorer et d’expérimenter des solutions extrêmes. Le résultat est cette architecture unique, déroutante et inspirante signée de nombreux architectes comme Tadao Ando, Kenzo Tange, Shigeru Ban ou Kengo Kuma, dont l’audace moderne, si ce n’est futuriste, est portée par une culture millénaire.

Résumé:
Now, this beautiful and fascinating volume takes the traditional tea house and turns it on its head. An informative introduction explains the history of the tea ceremony and the tea house. Then, in chapters written by three of the worlds most renowned architects -Arata Isozaki, Tadao Ando,Terunobu Fujimori as well as a fourth with text by Hiroshi Hara and Kengo Kuma, the book looks at twenty modern tea houses in Japan. Here are five men who share a fascination with exploring architectural space limited to the smallest possible spatial unit and the tea house is the perfect medium for satisfying this passion and curiosity. Most of these structures are used solely for the tea ceremony, but a few have become spaces for meditation, or for simply spending quiet time alone, with a drink or a good book. Through insightful text, superb photographs and detailed drawings, The Contemporary Tea House introduces each architects philosophy and creative concerns, as well as the artistic techniques behind their constructions in materials ranging from wood and titanium to concrete, stone, and paper. The book also offers the specifications of each building, a glossary and profiles of the architects.

Résumé:
Autodidacte, Tadao Ando est fortement marqué par la découverte de l'œuvre de Le Corbusier. Après plusieurs voyages aux États-Unis, en Europe et en Afrique, durant lesquels il étudie les grands chefs-d'œuvre de l'architecture, il revient au Japon en 1969 et crée son agence à Osaka. Récompensé par plusieurs distinctions, dont le prestigieux prix Pritzker en 1995, il travaille aujourd'hui sur de nombreux projets monumentaux, dont le nouveau musée de la Fondation Pinault installé dans l'ancienne Bourse de Commerce de Paris. Cette publication publié par le Centre Pompidou donne à voir et à comprendre l'œuvre sobre et élégante de l'architecte à travers soixante-dix de ses plus beaux projets. Cette publication est enrichie par trois portfolios présentant les photographies noir et blanc de Tadao Ando, ses dessins au crayon et, pour la première fois reproduits, ses carnets de voyage, sources d'inspiration de ses premières créations.
