There is a role and function for beauty in our time. – Tadao Ando
When I design buildings, I think of the overall composition, much as the parts of a body would fit together. On top of that, I think about how people will approach the building and experience that space. – Tadao Ando
All those involved in the construction of an architectural design, from the architect to the builder, have an attachment to the architecture, although its difficult to quantify the attachment. – Tadao Ando
If I can create some space that people havent experienced before and if it stays with them or gives them a dream for the future, thats the kind of structure I seek to create. – Tadao Ando
