Esta monografía exhaustiva sobre el arquitecto Tadao Ando, ganador del Premio Pritzker, abarca la trayectoria de su impresionante carrera, con material inédito y una visión de sus fuentes de inspiración. Ofrece una visión profunda de la arquitectura sobria y elegante de Ando a través de fotografías, dibujos arquitectónicos y descripciones de ochenta de sus obras más significativas.
