Tadao Ando

tah-dah-oh ahn-doh

Ando’s work forms a world where stillness is constructed — space distilled to its essential relations of mass, light, and interval.

Light enters as a measured event.

Planes meet with a clarity that holds space to proportion and silence.

In these rooms, gravity is kept in balance.

Edges carry the weight of the composition.

Volume settles into a steady condition rather than enclosure.

Concrete becomes structure and boundary.
