Tadao Ando
People tend not to use this word beauty because it's not intellectual - but there has to be an overlap between beauty and intellect.
Tadao Ando
Italy is full of historical buildings. And Europe holds a great history of philosophy from Greece until today. I read all those books and see these buildings, and I think of where I stand when I design my architecture.
Tadao Ando
