AbstractJapanese architecture retains the characteristic of appreciating its culture, despite the growing influence of Western architecture. Based on this issue, it is a very interesting area to study to understand the design concepts behind two masterpieces from the world’s architects Kisho Kurokawa and Tadao Ando. This study uses a qualitative method by analyzing theories and case studies in the work of the architects Kisho Kurokawa and Tadao Ando. It conducts the following detailed analyses; (a) Western architects who influenced both design concepts; (b) The primary considerations of the two architects in facing the demands of the times. The study concludes that Kisho Kurokawa was influenced by Kenzo Tange, while Tadao Ando has been influenced by Le Corbusier and Louis Khan. The primary consideration of Kisho Kurokawa is Hanasuki, while for Tadao Ando it is Shintai. The findings in this study are that the two architects in the design concept were inspired by Japanese culture, where Japanese culture is influenced by the philosophy of Lau Tze and Confucius.

The Church

This paper investigates the sublime as manifested in the architecture of Tadao Ando. The primary object of interpretation is his Azuma House (1976) in Osaka. However, according to Ando, the sublime equally characterises his religious work such as the Church of the Light (1989) near Osaka. One unique characteristic of Ando's architecture is the treatment of residential and religious buildings according to common spatial themes, challenging the conventional dichotomy between the profane and the sacred. The evocation of the sublime can be claimed as one such theme. Both buildings are particularisations of the theme of the sublime: in the case of the Azuma House into the context of the everyday and, in the case of the Church of the Light, into the context of the theological horizon of Christianity. This paper elucidates how the spatial setting of the Azuma residence conditions, in a distinguishing manner, the experience of the sublime. Given that, in the history of Western architecture, Etienne-Louis Boullée's architecture of immense emptiness (as manifested in the Metropolitan Basilica and Newton's Cenotaph) presents itself as one of the most distinctive articulations of the sublime, it is employed here as the dialogic partner for Ando's architecture of the sublime.

Este texto pretende analizar la presencia de la arquitectura protestante en las seis ediciones del Premio Internazionale di Architettura Sacra Frate Sole (1996-2016). Una presencia que se ha ido incrementando con el paso de los años, aunque lograra su máximo reconocimiento ya en la primera edición, cuando el premio recayó en el conjunto de tres capillas construidas por el arquitecto japonés Tadao Ando. Conviene recordar el carácter específico del Premio Internacional Frate Sole (en cada convocatoria sólo se pueden presentar las iglesias terminadas diez años atrás), así como su vocación inclusiva, contemporánea y universal de promoción de la arquitectura sacra. Se analizarán las propuestas significativas —más allá de las premiadas— recibidas de las distintas denominaciones protestantes, para incidir en su especificidad. Los resultados obtenidos ayudan a valorar la alta calidad media de las propuestas en el discurso arquitectónico mundial.

Este artigo examina a Igreja da Luz, obra arquitetônica projetada por Tadao Ando e concluída em 1989, de modo a ilustrar como valores centrais da estética tradicional japonesa, em especial wabi-sabi e yûgen, permanecem até hoje como conceitos básicos centrais na apreciação da beleza em expressões artísticas desse país. Argumenta-se que as expressões artísticas japonesas são marcadas por uma tendência cumulativa, e não exclusivista ou substitutiva, dos padrões estéticos. Assim, observa-se que tradições estéticas passadas tendem a ser acolhidas em vez de rejeitadas por novos ideais de beleza, de modo que conseguem coexistir de forma harmônica em uma mesma obra
