Tadao Ando (1941September 13-), born in Osaka, Japan, is a Japanese architect. Tadao Ando has a legendary experience. Before he became an architect, he had no formal training and architectural knowledge's study, but he taught himself. I used to be a truck driver and a professional boxer. 1995, Tadao Ando won the Pritzker Prize at the age of 54, which is the highest honor in the construction industry. He donated $654.38 million to orphans after the Kobe earthquake in 1995. Tadao Ando School of Architecture was founded in Osaka on 1969, and many individual residential projects were his main design contents at that time. A masterpiece that brought Tadao Ando high praise and good reputation was Osaka's Long Island. From large public buildings to individual residential works, it has been recognized by the Japan Architectural Society Award for many times. Since then, Tadao Ando has established his own personal style with fair-faced concrete and geometric shapes, which has also been well received by the world. Tadao Ando's design has experienced domestic individual residential projects, commercial building facilities and religious building environment before 1990s, large-scale public buildings and art galleries after 1990s, and began to involve overseas construction market. As a famous architect with world influence in contemporary Japanese architecture, Tadao Ando has a unique understanding of architecture. He made many long-term and detailed explorations of the Pantheon, a relic of ancient Rome. The scale of the Pantheon building and the introduction of natural factors into the building through the dome window make the man-made building have a strong sense of sacredness. As we all know, Tadao Ando is one of the most active and influential Japanese architects in recent 20 years. He takes concrete as raw material and uses the most basic and abundant architectural element-core wall. In addition, he also used the light, water and scenery in nature to recreate the natural noumenon, and introduced these elements into the new architectural space to build a harmonious aesthetic feeling between the architectural space and the natural space.
First, the background and characteristics of living in Jiyong.
The longhouse in Kyrgyzstan is a small house in the old district of Osaka, which is a common residential form in Kyoto or Osaka, Japan. An ordinary longhouse is about two houses as wide as a family, and then arranged in succession. The longhouse in Kyrgyzstan inherits the long and narrow characteristics of the traditional longhouse, but it is more closed than the traditional longhouse in facade treatment. In order to highlight the richness of its internal light. The longhouse replaced the middle of the original three long rows of houses, and its floor and beams were shared with the longhouse next to it. The closed cuboid block makes full use of the limited foundation. Both elevation and plane are composed of rectangles. The footboard in the recess of the longhouse reflects the light to the street, and the light becomes the regulator connecting this inward-looking house with the street. The symmetry of the facade not only gives the building a sense of balance, but also keeps some traditional concepts in the traditional longhouse buildings. Symmetry is also used when dealing with the internal space. The symmetry of the plane realizes the unity with the surrounding environment, and the unity is realized through similar shapes and environments.
Second, the real aesthetic feeling of materials
The first element of architecture is reliable materials, that is, real materials; This real material can be pure cement or unpainted wood. Japanese people love nature, so traditional buildings are all made of natural trees, and the building components are all structural components, which are directly exposed without oil decoration, maintaining the original color, and the material itself is a part of decoration. Advocate simple, simple and natural material beauty. The interior decoration materials of the longhouse in Kyrgyzstan are all natural materials, the furniture materials are all wood, and the floor is stone or wood. Obviously, Ando's design concept takes into account the local people's love for nature, so in this abstract and closed "box", all the homes, furniture and feet that can be touched by hands are made of natural materials, thus reflecting the interaction and comfort of nature in the building.
Third, the aesthetic feeling of space in pure geometric form.
This form provides the foundation and framework for architecture, and makes architecture show to the world; It may be a subjective object, and it is often an object with a three-dimensional structure. When geometric figures are used in architecture, the position of architectural forms in the whole nature can be clearly defined, and nature interacts with geometry. Geometrical forms constitute the whole framework, and also become the screen of the surrounding environment, where people walk, stay, meet unexpectedly, and even have a close relationship with the expression of light. Read out the spatial distribution level through the shadow of light. After such treatment, nature and architecture are both opposite and coexist. In the design of Tsukikuya, Ando tried the design of "pure space". Although the shape of the longhouse incorporates simple and pure geometric shapes, the richness of indoor space and the use of natural village materials make the longhouse look particularly delicate and meticulous. Therefore, in addition to the simplicity of the external form of the longhouse, the interior of the house can not be considered as a pure geometric form, but as a group of spatial arrangements with strong personality. Every space changes with the penetration of sunlight and is connected with the atrium, forming an abstract flow in the space, which is a real "flowing longhouse". These spaces, whether yards, stairs or corridors, reveal the sustenance and ingenious interpretation of the aesthetic feeling of space.
Fourth, the natural beauty of architecture.
"Nature" is a factor in architectural design. The nature referred to here is not primitive nature, but disorderly nature arranged by people or orderly nature summarized from nature-artificial nature. Ando's so-called nature generally does not refer to the concept of planting, but refers to artificial nature or architectural nature. He believes that planting is only a way to beautify reality, and the means to symbolize gardening and the seasonal changes of plants in it are extremely rough. Light, water, wind and rain. This property is presented by introducing geometry-based materials and buildings at the same time.
Five, the beauty of quiet and peaceful light and shadow
Ando believes that light makes the "reality" of objects possible. Light gains meaning in the relationship between objects. Light endows beautiful drama, and wind and rain add color to life through their effects on human body. Architecture is a medium for people to feel the existence of nature. Light is always an important element of dramatic space. In the courtyard, nature takes on a different look every day. Courtyard is the core of life in residence, which introduces natural phenomena such as light, wind and rain, and they are being forgotten by the city. By introducing nature and light into a simple geometric structure isolated from the urban environment, I created a complex space. I injected the extraordinary into the most ordinary and familiar environment-residence. I once urged people to live in the Jichang house with obvious surface features, uniformity and tedium, with almost no details and decoration, but the use of the courtyard in the house made the building emotionally sublimated. The light in the sky penetrates into the courtyard, casting a deep shadow on the walls around the inner courtyard, which makes Jichangwu have a quiet and peaceful beauty of light and shadow.
Sixth, the inheritance and development of aesthetic feeling.
With the rapid development of global economy, our environment has deteriorated sharply, and natural resources have become more and more precious. The design aesthetics of respecting nature and pursuing simple and simple design style has positive practical significance. The longhouse in Kyrgyzstan is located in Osaka, and it is busy day and night. In the Japanese sensibility, people will feel the impermanence of the world in the face of withered petals, but at the same time they will also feel the eternal beauty. On the one hand, they think that the existence of this world is illusory and unpredictable; On the other hand, they regard the ever-changing nature as their confidant and despise the connection between architecture and beauty. Ando grew up in this living environment, and he knew how to meet the needs of lighting, ventilation and sunshine. Moreover, Ando provides an architectural space in a city that has lost contact with nature, making people feel the existence of nature. In the longhouse in Kyrgyzstan, small light and shadow are the only things that a family can get in touch with nature. With the change of season and time, the nature and angle of light are constantly changing. In the alternation of dawn and sunset in the evening, people feel the passage of time, and the humanistic concept introduces the fourth dimension-time into the three-dimensional space. People can talk to nature here and fully imagine it. The humanistic concept in Japanese traditional architectural culture has been inherited and developed in this small house.
In the process of creating this extremely limited space, Ando realized that there is a kind of richness in this almost extreme state, and there is also a limitation related to daily life-breaking the boundary between space and time. This seems easy, but it is not simple. No matter how small the material space is, there are irreplaceable natural scenery in it. Ando's discontinuous space adds a lot of vitality and fun to residential buildings. At the same time, the discontinuous space is continuous in function and emotional effect, which will not make people feel abrupt. In the house, the beautiful images of time and space reflected by light and shadow are intertwined, which is closely related to daily life and is an indispensable link.
