Tadao Ando: Process and Idea (English and Japanese Edition) Paperback – April 1, 2010

This book is very inspiring, it reminds me that we as architects should return and take the paper and pencil to draw the ideas you have on your mind. It also reminds me on how humanity should live together with nature and how architecture should be thought from nature and the air. Ando also taught me that there's no other ornamentation more than the natural shadows, light and wind that comes from the atmosphere and enter into the building.Highly recommended to everyone, it's not other book of images that you can find from the internet. It's like Ando's private diary shared to us.

Beautiful book with drawings you'd be hard pressed to find elsewhere. Some drawings span two pages and the binding is not very flexible, so if you're looking to scan this book you may need to disassemble it.

Good book in good quality

awesome book

自分の頭の中のものを体が表現してくれる。そして、何かを生み出すときの最高の相棒は手。ペンを持ち、紙の上に手で書き、また、手で作る。それはどんな人でも同じだと思います。この本は、そんなモノづくりを仕事にしている建築家の思考の過程であり、心の葛藤の投影であるスケッチのまとめです。何度も繰り返して書いた線にそれが表れている気がします。書くモノと紙でモノづくりの原点を見る。とても貴重な本であり、「ケンチク」を考えている人たち皆にじっくり見てほしい１冊だと思います。
