Tadao Ando
21_21 Design Sight marks its opening with the special program 'Tadao Ando Construction Site 2006 “A Hard-Fought Process”'. The program is mainly about getting people to experience the space - by opening the just-completed building to the public before 21_21’s first exhibition - and presenting the design process from start to finish through architectural models, photographs, and drawings.
In designing the stage for 21_21 Design Sight, architect Tadao Ando endeavored to create the kind of architecture he sees as “the face of Japan”. The building has two levels, one above and one below ground, and houses two galleries - one large, one small. As most of the interior space lies underground, the dramatic change from quietly balanced exterior to dynamic interior is something that has to be experienced.
