“There is a role and
function for beauty in our
time”

- Tadao Ando
BUILDINGS ARE DESIGNED AS SEQUENTIAL EXPERIENCES, WHERE OPEN SPACES LEAD
GLASS CLADDING TO ENCLOSED ONES, AND VICE VERSA. HE OFTEN INCORPORATES NARROW, DARK
CORRIDORS THAT OPEN UP INTO VAST, LIGHT-FILLED AREAS, MAKING MOVEMENT
THROUGH HIS SPACES FEEL LIKE A SPIRITUAL JOURNEY.
