Tadao Ando

The speed of change makes you wonder what will become of architecture.

Japanese traditional architecture is created based on these conditions. This is the reason you have a very high degree of connection between the outside and inside in architecture.

I would like my architecture to inspire people to use their own resources, to move into the future.

When you look at Japanese traditional architecture, you have to look at Japanese culture and its relationship with nature. You can actually live in a harmonious, close contact with nature - this very unique to Japan.

If you give people nothingness, they can ponder what can be achieved from that nothingness.

I believe that the way people live can be directed a little by architecture.
