TADAO ANDO

Tadao ando"You can’t travel in Japan long without coming across at least one of Tadao Ando’s buildings. Usually concrete, with a minimalist yet dramatic design, they serve as a complement to the surrounding environment rather than as a distraction. In some respects, Tadao Ando’s works are a modern interpretation of traditional Japanese aesthetics, with a simple beauty that speaks directly to the heart."
