{"product_id":"tadao-ando","title":"Tadao Ando","description":"\u003cp\u003eNow, at eighty-five, Ando looks back on a lifetime of making. Born in a working-class family living amongst the ruins of postwar Osaka, he could not afford a university education. After a brief stint as a professional boxer, he taught himself architecture at night from books, founded a practice in a cheap rented room, and, after years of uncertainty, persistence, and belief, eventually saw his ‘concrete poetry’ built around the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eTowards Light\u003c\/em\u003e, Ando’s first through-written book to be translated into English, explores the stories behind his greatest buildings and shares wisdom drawn from pivotal moments in Ando’s life. Ando is a guide to both the granular demands of creative work — clients, budgets, and the importance of using your own tools — and the exhilaration of inspiration, the power of art and music to spark new ideas, and how to keep the imagination open.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eTowards Light\u003c\/em\u003e is a grounded guide to a creative life as it is actually lived, for anyone committed to their work and to the long process of creating something meaningful.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hochparterre Bücher","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54529913815368,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0946\/0255\/9816\/files\/TowardsLight_FRONT.webp?v=1794055366","url":"https:\/\/www.hochparterre-buecher.ch\/products\/tadao-ando","provider":"Hochparterre Bücher","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
