Critic Reviews
Praise for Volume 1, Tadao Ando: Colours of Light:
‘Exquisitely photographed by Richard Pare, the details of Mr Ando’s houses, office buildings, meditation spaces and churches haunt the retina.’ – New York Times
‘A superb example of a monograph that is more than simply a catalog of buildings. Richard Pare’s photographs beautifully capture the abstraction, the sublime simplicity, the materiality, and the quality of time (lines) in Ando’s work.‘ – Jury of the American Institute of Architects
