Correct me if I am wrong, I believe that the web address www.tadaoando.com and www.tadaoando.net do not belongs to Tadao Ando. I checked with the whois info online and found that it was actually registered by a Korean guy, kind of weird. I once read that the Japanese are not so into the internet compare with other countries, maybe this is one reason why Tadao Ando yet to have an official website, then again I might be wrong.
If that is not Tadao Ando’s official website, then it is called cyber-squatting. It’s a crime. Can someone out there enlighten me with some information? Is that Tadao Ando’s official website?
Few years ago when I check with the ICANN, famous architects like Frank Gehry and Antonio Gaudi (deceased long ago) yet to have their domain name registered. It’s kind of weird that it takes them ages to have their domain name registered.
If you think these cyber squatters registered only then try these url www.tadaoando.com and www.tadaoando.net, and I think its an insult to Mr.Tadao Ando. The web address www.tadaoando.net is promoting some kind of architecture or wine mosquito product, am not sure, while the address www.andotadao.org belongs to a guy from korea again. Displaying his collection of images of ando’s works. Its all about making money online.
Cybersquatting: What It Is and What Can Be Done About It:
If you own a trademark and find that someone is holding it hostage as a domain name until you pay a large sum for it, you may be the victim of cybersquatting.
You can either sue to get your domain name — and possibly some money damages — under a 1999 federal law known as the Anti-Cybersquatting Consumer Protection Act, or you can initiate arbitration proceedings under the authority of the Internet Corporation of Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) and win the name back without the expense and aggravation of a lawsuit.
Cybersquatting means registering, selling or using a domain name with the intent of profiting from the goodwill of someone else’s trademark. It generally refers to the practice of buying up domain names that use the names of existing businesses with the intent to sell the names for a profit to those businesses.
Tadao Ando Official Website
Update: Finally, Mr.Ando has his own website. Just like most of his architecture, the website design is simple. His company’s official name is ‘Tadao Ando Architect & Associates‘. As for his email and phone number, you’ll have to do a little digging to get it. For privacy reasons, I don’t think I should share them.
I noticed a building in scaffolding in Venice with signs bearing Mr. Ando’s name.
Is he building there?
The renovation of Punta de la Dogana and the Teatrino of Palazzo Grassi.
I am an architect student from Valencia (spain). I am now in osaka and I haved visited lots of his works here in japan.
After of loock for his studio more or less 2 hours because the people don,t speak english, I arrive to the studio and one woman say me that I can not visit the studio.
Is the first time that happens this to me because in the studio of GMP in beijing or in Foster and Partners in london they did not have problem in show me a little part of the studio.
I think that they would have any detail with the foreign students, the peolpe who admires tadao ando, and spain is no very near (20 hours by plane).
hi emilio, may i request from you the complete address of tadao ando’s studio address. thanks you and regards!

Hi, I am looking to apply for an internship with Tadao Ando and Associates, but I am not able to get any leads on a valid email address or contact information. Do you happen to know the firm’s email address for me to contact them? Would be of great help. Thank you!
Hi, the official site is http://www.tadao-ando.com/
since the email is not publicly available, you can use a whois service to look up the domain name
https://www.whois.com/whois/tadao-ando.com
more often than not, the email address is the technical department email address. you can blindly email by changing the info@ to admin@ or something related.
Dear sir
I’m living in Iran. I am an architecture student. I am preparing my dissertation. Theme is desert architecture. I’m glad you can express your point about desert architecture. Or introduce a sample as case study. Your perspective can be useful in my design.

Dear Mr Tadao Ando
I am looking for contacting you to ask you about a drawing i made based on you.
My name is Yannick Martin.
I am a French architect and graphic designer.
I hope that you can get this message.
I first would like to tell you that I really like the architectural works that you produce.
It’s always a great pleasure for me to discover your realisations.
It’s full of inspiration.
I then decided in one of my work to produce a graphic based on a photo that someone made for you.
I am very happy to share with you the final graphic that I did and hopefully you will like it.
I will of course be very happy to hear your comments on this work.
I also would like to know if it is ok for you if I try to sell this graphical work like I want to do it for the others I made.
If you don’t like it and don’t want me to use it I will of course understand and respect that.
Please let me know your reason maybe, to not allow me to use it, or if there is anything i could do to have the possibility to do it.
Also, I understand that you are very busy with your work and that you will maybe not have the time to answer to my little request.
Then, I guess I could also believe that this request I do to you is not so important for you in consideration of all the others you should have everyday, and will then consider after a month that it mean that it doesn’t matter for you if I continue to try to distribute my graphical work made of cube, using as well the one I did of you.
So please, let me know if there is anything.
I want to wish you to continue to have a lot of success and to have the opportunity to continue making great buildings.
Thank you very much for your time and interest and apologize for my English, probably full of mistake.
Kind Regards.
Yannick Martin
I have recently completed my bachelors in Architecture and I wish to apply at the firm Tadao Ando architect and Associates. How can I get the valid email address to contact the firm? It would be of great help. Thank you.
Dear Mr Ando
It seems that I’m the first to comment this year.
Sorry to interrupt you and your teams’ busy work,even though I don’t know who will see this letter,but please take a look at it .
So,start from myself.
It has been 3 years that the thought to devote my life to architecture first occurredto my mind.And till now I can’t still explain the reasons.During this period at night in dreams I can’t help keeping coming across some impressive and fanatics architecture . And few of them I later found really exist.One is the ROKKO HOUSING,but not completely the same,in my dreams the build is separated by layers.And some I haven’ found in real life
such as an apartment stands erectly on a water fall（later I thought they are difficultto fuse properly)or a concrete-architecture inside a huge glass box outside or a build has just two crossed stepladder on first layer.No matter what build,they are really beautiful and full of life in my dreams.
So I bought a lot of books about architecture,when I read the first book,I was amazed by two man’s composition. one is Campo Baeza’s Gaspar House. And the other one is your 4×4..I think both two builds
contain sense of cool-headed and 4×4 can be a home for my spirit.4×4 also contains your recalls of the earthquake happened there.and I will never forget it。So it has been 3 years since then.
Why do I write this message toyoubut for other architects.Firstly I watched the film “The architecture of Ando Tadao Poems” .You are a man who dares to take responsibilities.You are kinded in daily life and strict at work.Also Chinese colledge produced mostly wufengjin but not the wufengjin. Then I‘m in a single parent family and family is not rich,my mother raise me up since I was a child.I don’t want to see my mother to bear the bitter herself.I want to find a way out.
You have ever said that” many lucky things seem to be fortunate,in fact are related to his own affection and persistence,it moves the God.Thanks to the God helping behind.”So I hope you can be my God.
(In addition,could you offer me a communicated e-mail in private?)
With Best Regard

Master Tadao Ando,
I am a Brazilian architecture student and I am in the final phase of my graduation.
Chosen as the theme to build a church in a degraded area of the city of São Paulo, Brazil.
As inspiration for my studies, I chose your church project for the Vicariate of Rome.
I would like to ask for your help to get some images in order to support my argument with my master Gerson Moura Duarte.
For more information I sent the phone to contact my advisor master:
55 11 36659038
Thank you in your help, I will be eternally grateful for his kindness in helping me.

Dear Professor Ando Tadao.
Greetings from Jeonju, Korea. My name is Chang, Woo Yon. I am researcher in Jeonju City Council.
I am sending this email to ask you for help in creating a video on ‘Memories of the City’ being produced by Jeonju City.
As the traditional culture capital of Korea, Jeonju City is a city where hundreds of years of historical and cultural heritages are integrated including Hanok Village. In Jeonju City, there is a sports stadium building built in 1963.
This building is a stadium built by collecting donations from each citizen at that time. It is also a place holding memories and recollections of many citizens such as National Sports Festival in 1980. Here is a place where citizens became one while cheering and letting out their anger.
But recently, there is a plan to destroy this stadium and build a large discount store.
Worrying that Jeonju City will be a replicated city no different from other cities if the shopping mall is built as planned, Jeonju City is trying to put back the plan to the starting point and recreate the stadium as the park of citizens. Not only creating a park in the city but telling the truth that there used to be a Sports Stadium, we want to change it into a new one.
And by preserving the Sports Stadium, we also try to protect the identity of Jeonju City as a historical and cultural city.
I would like to request the following:
First, I want you to send us a supporting video about 1 minute long shot by IPhone with regard to the above contents.
If it is difficult to shoot a video, second, I want you to agree to our editing and using videos shot by you in the past.
As mentioned earlier, the subject of our video is ‘Preservation of Jeonju City Sports Stadium as the history of the city and memories of citizens’.
In addition, the purpose of making and distributing this video is a public interest reason and we made the video in order to form and promote a consensus of many citizens.
As a researcher studying architecture and urban planning in Korea, I know that you said the history and memories of the city, preservation of modern architecture are very important for our city through a number of broadcast and books.
If you are sympathetic to the intent of this promotional video and send a video, it will be a great help in preserving Jeonju City Sport Stadium and maintaining and developing the identity of the historical and cultural city.
I am looking forward to get a reply from you. Please feel free to contact me directly if there is any information you may need.
Best regards.

Is there anyone help me?
i can have The North Face A bright 3 * 3.
can you help me for plan design.
Dear Sir,
I am an student of Arquitecture from the University of Zaragoza in Spain.
I am contacting you due to the fact that I am really interested in Tadao Ando’s architecture, which has greatly influenced me. His particular vision of architecture has been the reason that has led me to develop around his figure my degree final project.
I am atrracted to the relationship that he establishes between his architecture and the natural world and the concretization of the concept Ma in its architecture.
Due to the fact that I am doing a study about his work I refer you to know if it would be possible to contact Tadao Ando or people from his team who could answer some questions. It would be a great help in my work.
Thank you very much for your help
Yours sincerely
Could you please be so kind to help me. I am looking for Mister Tadao Ando’s email adress.
I have a Le Corbusier project and I would like to talk to him.
Thank you
Kind regards
I am studying in the scholl of Fine Arts in Athens.
I am making a project about Peter Zumthor and Tadao Ando for my architect class.
I am thinking of writing about Maritime Museum building and Benessee House.
I can’ t find the plots of these buildings at any of my books in the library.
Is it possible for you to send me the plots of the buildings or something like this, as the facade?
I would be grateful for your help.
hello im malaysian …where can i get ur email ?
Hi i’m urgently looking fr Mr. Ando’s email. I am an 2nd year architecture student and would like to contact Tadao Ando in terms f a project that i have about his work.
I would really appreciate your help.
Hope to get a positive response.
I noticed Cosmos design from Venini. Do you realise you have unwillingly copied a Carlo Nason desing?. Same concept, same proportion. Different is that you split the concept in 4 slices keeping 3 instead of 2. Should you call Carlo Nason to explain? He is a nice person and would just accept your explanation.
Yours
