Dear ArchitectureWeek Readers,

STONE HILL CENTER BY TADAO ANDO
by Michael J. Crosbie

Think of the architecture of Tadao Ando, and images of
sleek, smooth concrete are sure to fill the mind's eye.
The Church of the Light near Osaka, where the Pritzker
Prize-winning architect's practice is based, is a hymn
in concrete, its polished surfaces reflecting the shards
of light that jab through the building's cruciform
fenestration. Likewise, for the Pulitzer Foundation for
the Arts in St. Louis, Missouri, Ando uses the concrete
in such ways as to still the material's surface like a
quiet pool of water.
Ando's newest project in the United States is in New
England, in one of that region's prototypical places:
Williamstown, Massachusetts, home of the Sterling and
Francine Clark Art Institute, which has just unveiled
Ando's Stone Hill Center.
It is the first-built of two buildings that Ando has
designed for the Clark, and will prove through its
understated materials and diminutive size (32,000 square
feet, or 3,000 square meters) to be the more reserved of
the pair.

We pause these weeks in remembrance of the thirteen
Minnesotans who were killed and the dozens of people injured
in the catastrophic failure of the I-35W bridge across the
Mississippi River in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
A year ago, on August 1, 2007, the eight-lane, 1,907-foot-
(508-meter-) long steel bridge collapsed in a major civil
engineering disaster. A few days later, the U.S. Congress
allocated the first $50 million (of some $200 million total)
to speed construction of a replacement bridge.
