I recently reorganized my library and in the process stumbled across the present tome which celebrates its 20th birthday in 2024: Philip Jodidio’s „Tadao Ando - Complete Works“, published by Taschen in 2004. It was the first edition of a book that to this day remains a staple in the publisher’s program. In oversized coffee table format that monograph features about forty of Ando’s most significant projects, among them early row and single-family houses, the Rokko Housing projects, the famous Church of Light and Water Temple or large-scale and unrealized projects like the Chikatsu-Atsuka and Calder Museums. Each project is accompanied by a concise text as well as large-format photographs, drawings and plans. The former convey the exceptional spatial qualities of Ando’s buildings but also demonstrate his sophisticated handling of concrete, a feature that obviously isn’t an end in itself but the sensible enclosing of space.

The book reminded me of my early admiration of Tadao Ando but also of the fact that many of the projects that came to life after the book’s initial release didn’t excite my on the same level as those contained in it.
