Ando Tadao is one of the famous Japanese Architect. His buildings look very minimalism and simple.
most of his buildings are built with concrete walls but he uses it well with nature such as water, light and sky.
He creates beautiful contrast with lights.
what is so great about him is he is self -taught. He was a boxing player before, but he was always interested in architect so he travels around and learn and experience. i really respect that. a lot of people just try to get in good schools and finish up to earn nice title of degree either they like it or not. But Ando Tadao made himself as one of the best architect in the world with his passion and his dream. i can’t wait to have a spacial experience in his amazing buildings.
