Inside Legendary Architect Tadao Ando's New Manhattan Building

Tadao Ando is the architect that designed some of the world’s most important structures and spaces, including Piccadilly Gardens in Manchester, the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth and Church of the Light in Osaka. His style is most regarded for his playful use of natural light – which is not only seen in his commissioned works, but more personal projects such as his office, or even a new residential building in NoLita. Here director Marcus Werner Hed creates a visual profile of one of today’s most prolific architects, where Ando explains the “sanctuary” concept behind his Elizabeth St. structure (dubbed ICHIGONI), how to best achieve the grand feeling of living in New York and his past life as a boxer and its relation to design.
