Tadao Ando's architecture stars in exhibition at Armani Silos in Milan

Opened at the Salone del Mobile in Milan, The Challenge is Armani/Silos ’ first exhibition dedicated to architecture, and it runs from April 9 to July 28. It is a narrative itinerary, designed by Tadao Ando (Osaka, 1941) with his studio and in collaboration with the Centre Pompidou, that traces the career of the Japanese architect, a key figure in a design that favors the unusual use of nature and the combination in spaces of elements such as water and light, and that has always been distinguished by its pure and essential vision.

The exhibition is organized around four main themes: Primitive Forms of Space, An Urban Challenge, Genesis of Landscape, Dialogues with History. More than fifty projects are part of the retrospective, illustrated by sketches, original models, video installations, technical drawings, travel notebooks, and photographs taken by Tadao Ando himself.

The creative principles of the master of contemporary architecture are explored through his most significant achievements from Row House in Sumiyoshi - Azuma House (1976), to Naoshima (1988 to present), to the project still in progress for the Bourse de Commerce in Paris (fall 2019). Also exhibited for the first time is theArmani/Theater project (2001), entrusted to him by Giorgio Armani for its deep sensitivity, philosophy and extreme rigor.
