TOTO Publishing has published three volumes of photo-focused collections of Ando's works (1: Houses, 2: Overseas, 3: Japan) in the "Architecture of Ando" series. However, in order to better convey the profound appeal of Ando's architecture, a special edition, "0 (Zero)," was created that uses sketches to understand the process of Ando's architectural ideas.
This book traces the process by which Ando's ideas, depicted in countless hand-drawn sketches, converge and resonate with each other, eventually crystallizing into precise architectural drawings and realizing Ando's architecture. All 61 works, including 32 works not included in 123, are introduced at once along with sketches that are being shown for the first time. This book is a unique and fascinating collection of Ando's works, so please take a look.
