comprising a vast open space and a showroom below the store, both measuring 220

Tadao
Ando and
Duvetica started to work together in 2010 on the design of the Courmayeur
store, before collaborating again on the stores in Tokyo, Japan, and Kitzbühel,
Austria, which were opened in quick succession between July 2010 and summer
2011. The exhibition will have a section dedicated to Europe, which will
include the Stone Sculpture Museum in Bad Kreuznach, Germany, three projects
executed in the Chateau La Coste in Aix-en-Provence, France, as well as the
projects Ando carried out in Italy – more specifically, in Venice – for the
Palazzo Grassi, Teatrino di Palazzo Grassi and the Punta della Dogana
Contemporary Art Centre. The exhibition also features the projects Ando
undertook in Naoshima, Japan – Benesse House Museum/Oval, Lee Ufan Museum and
Chichu Art Museum – and the Abu Dhabi Maritime Museum he designed in the United
Arab Emirates. The exhibition aims to unveil the design approach employed by
Ando, who always works according to the same way of thinking: “I try to learn
from buildings, communities, landscapes and people from various different areas
of life, and to create a lively dialogue between the existing and the new.”
