Journal of Innovation, Management and Technology, Vol. 9, No. 6, December 2018  \nExamining Methods of Concrete Construction in A Tadao Ando Private Art Gallery: Lincoln Park, Chicago, Illinois.  \nDaniel Joseph Whittaker  \nAbstract—Creating high quality, smooth-finish architectural-grade concrete outside of Japan, using non-Japanese tools, equipment, and labor, requires a special degree of conviction and a lot of trial and error to achieve proscribed results. The definition of success, in this particular case study, was set forth by none other than architect Tadao Ando of Osaka. In order to attain a degree of fidelity mirroring what the master has already accomplished in his native homeland, within a society where precision and exactitude has reached cult-like status, most may consider a Sisyphean task elsewhere. However, it is the opinion of the author, who simultaneously was the on-site scribe and the Owner’s Representative of this Ando-designed Chicago private museum project (Wrightwood 659), that an equivalent degree of design perfection was obtained. This paper will elaborate upon the myriad of architectural and construction methodological details required to attain excellency in site-cast architectural concrete.  \nIndex Terms—Chicago, private museums and galleries, Site cast concrete construction, architectural finish concrete, Tadao Ando.  \nI. INTRODUCTION  \nThis project, unlike most wholly new-construction works of master architect Tadao Ando, is not a stand-alone new building situated upon a virgin site commanding exclusivity. Instead, it exists mostly concealed, within the confines of an architectural nom-de-plume: a traditional early twentieth century four-story apartment building, built 1929-30, fashioned in a mild historicist style. Red wire-cut face-brick with symmetrical cut and tooled Indiana limestone accents convey a simplified American Federal revival style. The original building might be easily forgotten by the pedestrian casually passing by, walking through a largely residential enclave known as Lincoln Park, Chicago, about three miles (4.8 km) north of Chicago‟s downtown core, called „The Loop.‟ The former apartment block, located at 659 West Wrightwood Avenue, is in fact easily overlooked, for a more prominent creation stands next door to the west, in stark contrast: the commissioner (owner) of the new private gallery (called „Wrightwood 659,‟ named [1] after its post-1909 street address), was actually the first American client Ando built a residence for, outside of Japan. The “intensely private”  \n[2] house was designed and built between 1993 and 1997. A repeat client has enabled the ferro-concrete master to  \nManuscript received October 12, 2018; revised November 7, 2018.

This paper examines types of concrete casting methods that were employed in the creation of what is termed „architectural concrete‟ for this project. The majority of the concrete work is comprised of interior bearing columns and some load bearing (as well as non-bearing) architectural-finish concrete walls.
