The Fundació Mies van der Rohe Exhibitions The Mies van der Rohe Foundation regularly organises itinerant exhibitions documenting its own Architecture Awards, and others featuring modern and contemporary architecture in general from either a historical or present-day point of view. To this end, exhibitions devised by the Foundation itself are combined with those organised jointly with entities that pursue similar aims. Cycles of lectures The format of the "cycle of lectures" is designed to examine a current theme in a number of sessions, the aim of which is to offer as comprehensive an overview as possible of the state of the question. The cycles of lectures are related to other Foundation programmes and are complemented by activities such as installations and exhibitions. It is anticipated that two cycles will take place annually. Foundation publications As part of its dissemination programme, the Mies van der Rohe Foundation publishes a catalogue for each edition of the European and Latin-American Awards.

AD Classics: Church on the Water / Tadao Ando “You cannot simply put something new into a place. You have to absorb what you see around you, what exists on the land, and then use that knowledge along with contemporary thinking to interpret what you see.” This philosophy of Tadao Ando is ever apparent in his design, as he is celebrated for the attention he pays to nature and the relationship between interior and exterior spaces of his buildings. More on Tadao Ando‘s Church on the Water after the break. Found sloping down towards a small river in a clearing of beech trees, the element of nature apparent in all the architecture of Tadao Ando initiates subliminal experiences in this Church on the Water in Tomamu, Japan. To the west, the church is surrounded by hills and trees, and a resort hotel lies to the east. The larger of the two cubes serves as the chapel, and meets the entrance of the smaller cube with a semi-circular spiral staircase.
Centre Méridional de l'Architecture et de la Ville Architect Day: Tadao Ando He was a truck driver and boxer, he taught himself architecture as he didn't like school and preferred to study his way, visiting and analyzing the works. Tadao Ando has consolidated his name by performing an architecture that's pure, allowing the user to experience space and nature in his works. Tadao Ando was born in Osaka, Japan, on September 13, 1941 and was raised by his grandmother. School-wise, Tadao chose his own method of learning, outside the classroom through visits to buildings in the region and always with a lot of reading about architecture. “I was never a good student. Influences Architecture had taken over his mind at 15 when he bought a book of drawings by Le Corbusier. In addition to Le Corbusier, the books purchased by Tadao were from the likes of Mies Van der Rohe, Alvar Aalto, Loius Kahn and Frank Lloyd Wright. Works Tadao established in his work relationships between three main elements: order, people, and emotive force. Azuma House, Osaka, Japan
