In March, the magic capital ushered in another big exhibition – “Tadao Ando: Challenge”, which was parachuted to Fosun Art Center
.
This is also the most comprehensive large-scale individual retrospective exhibition of Tadao Ando, a legendary figure in today’s architecture industry
.
*The first three exhibitions of Tadao Ando’s global tour: Tokyo National Museum of fine arts, Pompidou Art Center in Paris, Armani theatre in Milan, Shanghai
.
As the fourth stop of the global tour after Tokyo, Paris and Milan, Tadao Ando’s World Tour opened today (March 19), with a limited time of three months
.
It was a surprise! Through classic architectural models, design manuscripts, calligraphy and seal cutting, as well as a large number of unique films, travel notes and photos, the exhibition shows the legendary life of a generation of architectural masters in an unprecedented scale! Let’s take you to the bottom! Whether you pay attention to architecture or not, you must have heard the name “Tadao Ando” more or less
.
His works are all over the world, and top class landmark buildings can be built everywhere
.
From the familiar Shanghai poly Grand Theater, the Sinian Museum, the space of light (Xinhua Bookstore & Pearl Art Museum) to the “Church of water” in Hokkaido, the “Church of light” in Osaka, and the “long house of living in Jiji”..
.
He is unique in his bare fair faced concrete, creating his own style and school, skillfully using light and shadow, which is shocking
.
This is known as the “genius” architect
.
He used to be a boxer and a truck driver
.
He has never received a class education in architecture
.
He completely depends on self-study! In the past 50 years, he has designed nearly 200 internationally famous buildings, won the “Nobel Prize” Pritzker Prize in architecture, and become one of the most influential architects today
.
Tadao Ando, itself is a legend! The exhibition has three floors, including “prototype of space”, “challenge of city”, “creation of landscape”, “dialogue with history” and “Church of water”
.
You can appreciate the beauty of Tadao Ando’s architectural design in an all-round way
.
Tadao Ando has a shocking “church Trilogy”
.
They are: the “Church of wind” on the hillside of Kobe, “Church of light” on the outskirts of Osaka and “Church of water” in Hokkaido
.
The Church of the water1989? Tadao Ando Architecture Institute for many Tadao Ando fans, the “Church of water” in Hokkaido may be one of the most difficult works to punch in
.
In addition to the fact that we can’t go abroad due to the epidemic, we will no longer accept the appointment of ordinary tourists from July 2020
.
This time, this dream and legendary church was 1:1 re carved and parachuted into the magic capital! “Water church” is a work designed by Tadao Ando in Hokkaido, Japan in 1985
.
It is also the only church with the theme of “water” in the world
.
The overall design faces the river, so that architecture and nature “embrace” each other
.
In the design, it not only retains the sanctity and solemnity of the church, but also skillfully introduces light and water into the church, opening space to the outside
.
Space and light and shadow, architecture and nature complement each other, which is of monumental significance
.
Walking into the 1:1 replica of the “water church” which was explored by the master himself, you will be shocked! The snow scene of the cross, the tranquility brought by the church, fully reflects Tadao Ando’s extraction and separation of natural elements
.
Church of the light 1989 ■ Church of the light of Tadao Ando Institute of architecture “Church of the light” in the “church Trilogy” was reproduced in the “challenge” series exhibition of the new National Gallery of art in Japan in 2017
.
This time, it also came to Shanghai to let us experience the sacred sense of light and shadow under the master
.
The solid, thick, hard concrete concrete created darkness, and the sunlight came through the cross gap on the wall, the famous “cross of light”, quiet and solemn
.
If you look carefully, you will find that there is only a section of downward ramp in the church, and there are no stairs
.
This is because Tadao Ando has broken the traditional church architecture
.
He hopes that the pastor and the audience in the “Church of light” will be equal
.
When the light falls, people can feel the power of life
.
The rowhouse of Sumiyoshi, Kyoto, Japan の the 2nd floor of the exhibition of Tadao Ando’s Architecture Institute is a collection of many avant-garde urban works by Tadao Ando
.
The first sight is Tadao Ando’s debut work, the landmark fair faced concrete column door of “the long house of Zhuji”
.
The wood model of the long house in Sumiyoshi Azuma house is 285 * 70 * 120cm, which is the “long house in Sumiyoshi” of the highest Architectural Award in Japan
.
It is a collection of common architectural materials such as fair faced concrete, glass, wood and stone bars, which are commonly used in Tadao Ando’s design
.
The wooden model of nakko housing in Liujia is 1400 * 900 * 350cm
.
On a 60 ° south facing slope at the foot of Liujia mountain in Kobe, there is an ordinary and peculiar building
.
In the irregular natural terrain into a homogeneous framework, creating a variety of house types, is still the star property in Kansai area
.
Zhidao, on the 23rd floor of Naoshima project 19923, is an island in Seto, Guanxi inland sea
.
Dizhong Art Museum, Kusama misheng ‘
.
Chichu Art Museum 2000-2004 ﹣ Tadao Tadao Institute of architecture, Chichu art museum is one of the most popular scenic spots in Zhidao
.
In order to protect the integrity of the landscape, Tadao Ando buried most of the buildings underground, minimizing the damage to nature, making use of natural light as much as possible, and retaining the natural landscape of Zhidao
.
Stock exchange, Museum of art, France, France, Paris, 2016-2021} Songgang mannan Paris Stock Exchange 800x850x500cm apart from Zhidao, there is Tadao Ando’s new work Paris Stock Exchange
.
He inserted a 10m high cylindrical space into the rotunda inside the building
.
The design is very bold and novel
.
Take a closer look, the layers of wood structure inside are so exquisite that I can’t believe it! As Tadao Ando said, “I’m going to create a building that connects the past, the present and the future.” The beauty and shock of Tadao Ando’s buildings are hard to express in words and pictures
.
It’s worth experiencing in person
.
There are also light and shadow photos, manuscripts and details of works taken by Mr
.
Ando on the scene
.
Come and feel the artistic edification of the master
.
Forever youth, forever green apple, forever youth
.
It is worth mentioning that a huge green apple sculpture “forever youth, green apple” has been parachuted on the square of Fosun Art Center
.
Now we can take pictures of Limei in Hyogo county without going to Kobe “Giant green apple” in the art museum! Tadao Ando said that green apple means youth
.
He hoped that human beings and architecture, markets and society would not be fully mature, and that they would remain optimistic about positive challenges
.
Let’s touch the “green apple” representing hope
.
May we always be 18 years old! Apart from reproducing Tadao Ando’s classic architectural works in Fosun Art Center, Tadao Ando himself will also participate in many cloud salons, cloud art workshops and other activities during the exhibition period! Have the opportunity to have a direct interaction with him, in-depth exchange, on-site feel the artistic charm of the architect.
