Tadao Ando: From Emptiness to Infinity plot
The documentary paints a portrait of a man who has won every major architectural award there is to win, from the Pritzker Prize to the Gold Medal of the Royal Institute of British Architects to the Kyoto Prize. Tadao Ando got the inspiration to become an architect when, at the age of 15, he came across a book about Le Corbusier. The next step in the career of self-taught Ando (1941) was not an official architecture training, but a world trip to study the icons of architecture. The documentary introduces us to several of Ando's most famous buildings, including the Langen Foundation museum in Germany, the Punta della Dogana in Venice, his Church of Light in Osaka, and the 4x4 house in Kobe, Japan. Ando himself reflects extensively on his own work, but also on the role of architecture in our contemporary world, about which he has a strong opinion.
