BESTI like Tadao Ando, so as soon as I heard about this Osaka exhibition, I immediately booked tickets on Wag. The Korean page was well-organized, so payment was fast, and I could enter right away just by showing the QR code, so it was really convenient. The exhibition, which was themed around “youth,” featured a wide range of works from Tadao Ando’s early work to his representative works, sketches, and drawings. The videos shown here and there were also impressive. In particular, the model of the “Church of Light” and the installation were so well-realized as if they were real spaces that they lingered in front of my eyes for a long time. Thanks to advance reservation, I was able to avoid long lines and enjoy the show at my own leisure. It was one of the most memorable moments of my trip to Osaka.
An exhibition of world-famous architect Tadao Ando is being held in Osaka. Tadao Ando was born in Osaka and studied architecture on his own. He has received much attention for his innovative architectural works that break the mold. His representative works include the Church of Light in Osaka, the Church of Water in Hokkaido, and the Naoshima Project, which turned the entire island of Naoshima into an art space. He also won the Pritzker Prize, which is considered the Nobel Prize of architecture.
This exhibition is designed to deeply illuminate Tadao Ando's architectural philosophy and life journey, making it a special memory for architecture lovers.
