Global Architect 8 forms part of a series of 10 books that chronologically survey the development of designs from 10 renowned architects. This volume on Tadao Ando is a monograph looking at his life's work through renderings, original drawings, plans and colour photographs. A comprehensive and detailed exploration of Japan's most celebrated self-taught master of architecture and landscape. Fun fact, (not in the book) Tadao Ando was a professional boxer at 17 before beginning his 'self-instruction' in architecture in 1962. He can also be thanked for planting 300 cherry blossom trees in Osaka, which is famous for its blooming months- usually around March.
