A retrospective exhibition by acclaimed Japanese architect Tadao Ando recently opened in Taipei. After touring Paris, Milan, and Shanghai, the exhibition selected Taiwan as its final stop, with over 300 drawings, photographs, and models that look at the architect’s signature buildings.
The exhibition was called Endeavors because Ando wants people to be passionate about their dreams and never give up on them. An architect for more than half a century, Ando values the relationship between architecture, light, and people. A replica of one of his most famed works,
“The Church of the Light,” is on display on a 1:1 scale in the Taipei venue.
近日，日本著名建築師安藤忠雄的回顧展在台北開幕。 展覽巡迴了巴黎、米蘭和上海後，選擇了台灣作為最後一站，並展出超過 300 幅安藤忠雄的手稿、照片和模型，呈現他具有代表性的建築特色。
展覽取名為「挑戰」，因為安藤忠雄希望人們對自己的夢想充滿熱情、永不放棄。擔任建築師超過半個世紀，安藤忠雄格外重視建築、光和人之間的關係。他最著名的作品之一「光之教堂」，複製品在台北會場以 1:1 的比例展出。
Retrospective當名詞使用時，意思就是「藝術家的回顧展」，展示藝術家職業生涯中的代表作品，例如：a Yayoi Kusama retrospective/a retrospective of Yayoi Kusama’s work 草間彌生作品回顧展。
作為形容詞使用時，retrospective就是「涉及以往的；追溯的；回顧的」，例如， The singer just released a retrospective album. 這位歌手剛發行了一張回顧專輯。
