我是2020年7月NHK重播看的。Tadao Ando: Samurai Architect
他的成長雖是自學，其實也去過一些名建築師事務所。
然而，他只能自己當主，無法聽命於人。
他的事務所，四周都是書/雜誌，這是日本的財富，世界主要建築資料都有。
發跡於大阪，有感情。事務所剛開業時，生意慘淡，所以要格外努力。
他說，他的管轄幅度的上限是60人。
這片中，他飽受義大利業主的欣賞。
安藤忠雄:武士建築師 Tadao Ando:Samurai Architect
日本NHK製作 / 58 / 2016
NHK製作的紀錄片「安藤忠雄:武士建築師 Tadao Ando: Samurai Architect」
安藤忠雄在成為建築師之前曾是位職業拳擊手，他利用拳擊比賽的獎金遊走世界各地，去參訪各國各地的獨特建築，並開始自學。如今，只有高職學歷且沒有受過正規建築教育安藤忠雄已經是世界知名的建築師，並曾獲得建築界最高榮譽的普立茲克建築獎。
本紀錄片跟拍了安藤一年，追溯安藤忠雄年輕時的經典作品，從日本的「住吉長屋」、「直島當代美術館」出發，接著來到義大利的「威尼斯關稅美術館」、「班尼頓藝術學校」，然後回到亞洲，前進上海接受挑戰。安藤忠雄認為陽光、雨水、天空都能納入建築中，將小房子變成大宇宙。
安藤忠雄具禪風且簡潔優雅的混凝土設計，使全球各地的人深深著迷；然而這位自學建築的75歲前拳擊手，私底下的強硬個性、伶牙俐齒和獨特的幽默感，卻與其精緻作品大相逕庭。這些看似衝突的特質增添了他的個人魅力，加上他嚴謹的工作態度與敏銳的美感，無怪乎被稱為「武士建築師」。

Interiors: The Benetton family’s 'invisible house' near Venice
The Benetton family’s 'invisible house’ is partly sunk beneath the ground to provide them with the ultimate in privacy.

When it comes to notions of home and comfort, what is one man’s meat is another man’s poison. A house built from a series of angular concrete slabs and sunk up to 13ft below ground level, for example, is not everyone’s idea of an ideal home. But for Alessandro Benetton (the executive deputy chairman of the organisation that his father, Luciano Benetton, founded in 1965) and his wife, Deborah Compagnoni (the ski champion and three-times Olympic gold medallist), the process of commissioning the Japanese architect Tadao Ando to build a home for them and their three children, Agnese, nine, Tobias, seven, and Luce, three, has been what Benetton refers to as 'a little bit of an adventure’.
The couple knew what they were getting when they hired Ando to build their home in Ponzano, about a 20-minute drive north of Venice. Benetton’s family has strong links with the area – it is where the company was founded – and only a few miles away is Fabrica, the Benetton Group’s 'communications research centre’, whose original building is the 17th-century Villa Pastega Manera. In 1992 Luciano Benetton commissioned Ando to restore and enlarge the villa and it is now one of the architectural gems of the region. Extraordinary structures made from towering geometric shapes in cast concrete are recurring motifs in the self-taught, prize-winning architect’s designs, which include museums, art and convention centres and company headquarters around the world.
'I was lucky because Tadao Ando’s work at Fabrica meant I could actually see his architecture here in Ponzano,’ Alessandro recalls. 'Having said that, it’s one thing to do a large public building but it’s another to create a private space.’ Privacy was one of the few requirements that Benetton and Compagnoni had for their home, and it is something that Ando has achieved in part through a radical rethinking of the seven-acre estate. On what was an essentially flat piece of countryside, Ando and the landscape designer Domenico Luciani have created a range of Teletubby-style hills into which they built the house, a concrete and glass structure that snakes nearly 17,000 sq ft along the property, playing peek-a-boo from behind the grassy knolls. Ando called it the Invisible House, and indeed it cannot be seen from the street thanks to a long and curved drive and several semi-mature trees planted in a protective grid formation.
Although the family tends to enter the home through the underground garage that they drive into, guests arrive through a long, open hallway that is more than 16ft high. It is an impressive and somewhat intimidating entrance, like the imposing portico of a modernist cathedral. It belies what awaits inside, however, where the proportions are far less exaggerated, and where the family has created a warm home.
The house turns this way and that so many times and leads up and downstairs so often that its layout defies description. Suffice to say there are four bedrooms (one of which is reached via a concrete and glass bridge that extends high above the living-room), a children’s playroom-cum-gym, a dining-room that overlooks an internal courtyard and a sports equipment room (with ample evidence of the family’s enthusiasm for skiing, kite-surfing, golf and cycling). At the closest thing to the centre of the house is the vast sunken living-room nearly 70ft long. The decor is fittingly spare, but what’s there – squishy sofas piled with cushions – is comfortable.

'Before we moved in we knew that the architecture would work as an element detached from our lives,’ Benetton says. 'But was it going to be a home? I think that was the nicest prize of all – walking in and saying, “This is home.”’ He and Compagnoni separately admit to having a rethink about the furnishings: Compagnoni would like to add some carpet, and Benetton has realised that some elements, such as a set of carved wood occasional tables, might not be as functional as they would like. They may have lived here for six years, but, as Compagnoni explains, 'it takes time to get things right’.
Benetton is more interested in his collection of modern art. In the reception are two instantly recognisable pieces – a Marc Quinn oil painting of flowers, hung daringly within reach of children’s sticky hands, and a Damien Hirst spot painting. 'They make the room happy and light,’ Benetton says. 'The spots on the Hirst are different colours and it reminds me of the United Colors of Benetton.’ Elsewhere the theme is mid-century Italian – sculptures by the early futurist Giacomo Balla, a monochrome canvas piece by the abstract artist Augustine Bonalumi, and a couple of works by Lucio Fontana, regarded as the founder of the 'spacialism’ art movement. One of these is Discovery, a rare action painting that Fontana completed in 1964, the year of Benetton’s birth. It dominates one wall of the living-room 'and at night if you turn all the lights off it really looks like a sky and the stars,’ he says.
Benetton and architecture As a family and a business, Benetton has long been associated with architecture, both in historic preservation and new designs. In 1964 Tobia Scarpa and Afra Bianchin were commissioned by Luciano Benetton to design the company’s knitwear factory in Ponzano. Benetton then asked them to work on the restoration of the 16th-century estate of the Palladian-style Villa Minelli, the company’s headquarters.
Thirty years later, the company bought and restored the 17th-century Hotel Monaco & Grand Canal, which overlooks Venice’s Grand Canal. Ponzano Children, the children’s centre created by Benetton in partnership with the town of Ponzano, opened in 2007. The modernist structure includes play areas in sand, wood, stone and grass, and was designed by the Spanish architect Alberto Campo Baeza. Last year the company held Designing in Teheran, a contest to develop a design for two multi-storey buildings in Iran, which was won by up-and-coming Polish and Bulgarian architects.
