VITRA DESIGN MUSEUM | Tadao Ando Conference Pavilion | 4K Tour

From vitra's website: The 1993 construction of the Conference Pavilion by Tadao Ando was the architect’s first building outside Japan. The calm and restrained structure encompasses an assortment of conference rooms. It is characterized by a highly ordered spatial articulation with a large part of its volume concealed below grade. A striking feature is the footpath leading to the pavilion, which has a significant association with meditation paths in the gardens of Japanese monasteries. Because cherry trees are of great traditional importance in Japan, Ando sought to preserve as many as possible. Only three cherry trees had to be felled in order to make room for the building. #thescenicroute #tadaoando #vitradesignmuseum #vitra #vitramuseum #famousarchitecture #famousarchitects #4k
