Wall drawn as measured line

Benesse House — Tadao Ando

Wall drawn as measured line.
Light cuts across volume.
Boundary becomes order.

What holds order?
Walls often assert presence through thickness or weight. Here, thickness recedes in favor of measure. Light cuts across the volume, reinforcing proportion rather than atmosphere. What holds order is the wall treated as line — precise, regulated, and non-emphatic.
