The challenge of an architectural guerrilla at the Pompidou Center. The retrospective dedicated to Tadao Ando. 50 projects, 180 drawings and 70 original models divided into four thematic sections celebrating one of the great protagonists of contemporary architecture. The anthology is an invitation to discover the firm garments of Ando's architecture, such as the use of cement, smooth as silk, which jealously preserves the mixture, the preference accorded to volumes with pure geometries, the integration of elements natural in its spatial devices or, again, the importance given to the intensity of the body experience generated by its projects. Courage, challenge, rejection of conventions: originality, for Tadao Ando, ​​remains the only rule.
