Osaka | Tadao Ando Special Exhibition — Youth Grand Green Osaka

If you are an architecture enthusiast, Tadao Ando's minimalist exposed concrete style, along with the incredibly cool Church of Light and Church of Water, must have left a deep impression on you. However, these buildings are spread all over Japan, and visiting them all is not something you can accomplish in just a few days.

Fortunately, Grand Green Osaka is hosting the Tadao Ando exhibition "Youth," which not only showcases models and design drawings of Ando's works from Japan and abroad but also offers a simulated experience of the Church of Water and large-screen films. It truly condenses the essence of the master's works, making for a great introduction, and photography is welcome.

Immersive experiences are a popular exhibition style nowadays. The Youth exhibition brings the Church of Water from Hokkaido to the venue, recreated at original size. As the images change with the four seasons, visitors can immerse themselves in the spring, summer, autumn, and winter of the Church of Water. Highly recommended.
