Tadao Ando's Royal Gold Medal Address

Article Abstract:

The work of Japanese architect Tadao Ando, who received the Royal Gold Medal for Architecture on Jun 3, 1997, disproves the view that a minimalist approach produces dull art, according to Nicholas Serota, Ando's first sponsor. His buildings use a limited range of materials, but have great spatial complexity. They are particularly interesting for the tension which exists within them between sight and structure. He has become an extremely influential figure in contemporary architecture.
