You can't really say what is beautiful about a place, but the image of the place will remain vividly with you.
Tadao Ando
Without this spirit, Modernist architecture cannot fully exist. Since there is often a mismatch between the logic and the spirit of Modernism, I use architecture to reconcile the two.
Tadao Ando
If there is only one culture all over the world, that's not a good thing.
Tadao Ando
I think architecture becomes interesting when it has a double character, that is, when it is as simple as possible but, at the same time as complex as possible
Tadao Ando
But now, more and more, its society is concerned with economy and finance.
Tadao Ando

Tadao Ando

You always want to try to make something new, and, of course, America is the world leader in economics today.
Tadao Ando
I want to create a space that moves people. It doesn't matter if it is a house, or a museum, or whatever. So, it is somebody sitting on that lawn, just going around and around and feeling really happy. That is something that I'm striving for.
Tadao Ando
I don't believe architecture has to speak too much. It should remain silent and let nature in the guise of sunlight and wind
Tadao Ando
As long as you have an objective in your mind you are young.
Tadao Ando
In Italy, there are so many significant architectural structures in history such as the Pantheon in Rome, or the Duomo.
Tadao Ando
I would like my architecture to inspire people to use their own resources, to move into the future.
Tadao Ando
All architecture has a public nature, I believe, so I would like to make a public space.
Tadao Ando
I believe that the way people live can be directed a little by architecture.
Tadao Ando
If you give people nothingness, they can ponder what can be achieved from that nothingness.
Tadao Ando
The computer offers another kind of creativity. You cannot ignore the creativity that computer technology can bring. But you need to be able to move between those two different worlds.
Tadao Ando
Working in Tokyo has convinced me that, contrary to what people think, it is actually one of the world's most beautiful cities.
