Tadao Ando was a self-taught architect from Osaka who went from professional boxing to winning the Pritzker Prize. He had no degree and no formal training, just a secondhand book about Le Corbusier, a ride on the Trans-Siberian Railway, and a near-religious devotion to concrete and light. From the tiny Row House in Sumiyoshi to the Church of the Light to the underground Chichu Art Museum on Naoshima, this video dives into Ando’s work and his journey from outsider to one of the most well known practicing architects alive today.
