<p>Tadao Ando born in 1941 in Osaka is one of the most important contemporary Japanese architects. He developed a radically new architecture characterised by the use of unfinished reinforced concrete structures. Using a geometric simplicity which reveals a rich and subtle approach to space, the buildings share the serenity and clarity that characterise traditional Japanese architecture. This book focuses on the Japanese influences upon Western architecture and presents three buildings of Tadao Ando: the Vitra Seminar House in Weil am Rhein (Germany), the Naoshima Contemporary Art Museum (Japan) and Fabrica Benetton Communication Research Center in Villorba/Treviso (Italy).</p>

<p>This slim ''edition architese'' volume (the fourth in the series) offers unprecedented access to one of the world's preeminent architects: Valerio Olgiati, the award-winning Swiss designer and professor at the architecture academy in Mendriso. In an engrossing interview, Olgiati discusses the social responsibility of the architect, the difference between earlier and modern generations of architects, the influence of post-modernity, and the difficulties that confront an architect as a design is built. Accented with details from some of his most notable works, the book provides a definitive overview of Olgiati's approach to the ''organic unity'' of his ''unrelentingly precise'' architectural style. Architectural historian Markus Breitschmid adds a perceptive essay.</p>
