A stunning exploration of two decades of work from renowned Japanese architect Tadao Ando.

Known for his use of structural concrete and deployment of natural light, Ando remains one of the most in-demand architects practicing today. Light and Space presents architectural photographer Richard Pare's extraordinary photographs of 28 contemporary projects by Ando, from the Pulitzer Arts Foundation in St. Louis, Missouri to the  Lee Ufan Museum in Naoshima, Japan.

With a foreword by Ando, accompanied by four drawings he created exclusively for the book, an introduction from award-winning architect Dominique Perrault, and an appendix including technical specifications, breif descriptive texts, and detailed plans, this is a worthy companion to the acclaimed first volume of Ando's work, The colours of Light.

Our products are made with love and care in Japan, but it’s with you where their story lives on. And for that to happen, we need to make sure they arrive with you in one piece! We carefully wrap each item in bubble wrap and traditional Japanese newspapers (you’ll often find a Japanese crossword or sudoku to solve!). You’ll also receive a short guide on how to care for and cherish your new tableware.
