About the Article
A coloured hourglass is surrounded by a glass structure that connects space and time. The trickling of the sand carries away the thoughts of past and future that Tadao Ando tried to capture.
The work of Tadao Ando is a perfect metaphor for architecture, which is defined by space and time.
About the Technique
The Soffiato technique gets its name from the fact that craftsmen blow air into a long metal rod connected to the glass to stretch and shape it - a tradition in glassmaking that goes back thousands of years. The experience and skill of the master glassmakers, combined with this ancient process, transform simple glass into true artistic masterpieces, unique in their kind.
About the Designers
Before dedicating himself autodidactically to architecture, Tadao Ando led a very varied life, working as a truck driver and boxer. His approach to architecture has often been described as critical regionalism and is reminiscent of the principles of minimalist aesthetics. Although he was strongly influenced by modernism, especially Le Corbusier, he was also strongly connected to traditional Japanese architecture. Tadao Ando has always applied strict self-restraint in the design of his works, giving them an almost "handcrafted" character in the definition of details. He is known for his exemplary style that combines typical Japanese materiality with international modernism and the connection and reading of spaces. A choice reflected in the almost exclusive use of exposed concrete, often combined with wood and stone. In 1969 he founded his own architectural practice, Tadao Ando Architects & Associates. His collaboration with VENINI began in 2011.
