BIOGRAPHY Tadao Ando was born in Osaka in 1941. In 1962 he started his chiefly self-taught architectural training, travelling through the United States, Europe and Africa until 1969 when he founded Tadao Ando Architect & Associates in Osaka. In 1972 he built the Tomishima house in Osaka, the first of a long series of single-family homes; one of these, the Azuma house (1976), again in Osaka, brought him to the attention of international critics and, in 1979, earned him the Architectural Institute of Japan’s annual award. He won even further acclaim during the Eighties both in his own country and abroad: in 1983 the first stage of the Rokko housing complex in Kobe was given the Japanese Cultural Design Prize; in 1985 the Finnish Architects’ Association awarded him the Alvar Aalto medal; in 1986 the church on Mount Rokko, Kobe, was completed and Ando received the Japanese Ministry of Education’s annual prize, the Mainichi Art Prize (1987), the Isoya Yoshida Award (1988), and the Medaille d’or of the Acad�mie d’Architecture Fran�aise
Some of his most important works of the past few years are the Church on the Water, Hokkaido (1988), the Church of Light in Ibaraki (1989), the Museum of Literature, Himeji, and the Temple on the Water, Awahji, completed in 1991. In 1992 he designed the Japanese pavilion at Seville Expo, the Museum of Contemporary Art, Naoshima and begun the Fabrica project in Treviso. In 1993 the second stage of the Rokko housing complex, Kobe, was completed, followed by a third stage finished in 1999.

KOSHINO HOUSE
The Koshino House represented a fresh start for Ando. He began the work of dismantling the architectural prototype developed earlier in the Row House in Sumiyoshi and of ressembling the pieces. He gradually opened up the closed box, allowed interior and exterior spaces to communicate through gaps in the walls and between walls and the foof, and organized carefully worked-out spaces, The expressive themes became the fine texture of walls and dramatazation by means of light; he began to use topography even more flexibly on organizing space. Ando calls the act of designing a site “sitecraft�; he blends together the site and the building, incorporates the landscape into the building, and makes use of every bit of the site. The interior space is extended into the exterior space, and the entire site. the interior space as precisely assembled as craftwork.
02
For ando, a closed box is the prototype for house on small sites in central osaka. however, the Koshimo House is located on a hillside in a lush natural environment. It is a concrete building, beautiful and relaxed in the midst of nature. The corners of the box, hitherto firmly closed, have been loosened, bit by bit. Light enters through a skylight between the wall and the roof, illuminating a curved wall; a lorge window has been opened in the living room wall. The interior is gradually assimilated into the beautiful landscape.
