More quotes by Tadao Ando
When I draw something, the brain and the hands work together.
Tadao Ando
I would like my architecture to inspire people to use their own resources, to move into the future.
Tadao Ando
I hope that America as a whole, and especially its architects, will become more seriously involved in producing a new architectural culture that would bring the nation to the apex - where it has stood before - and lead the world.
Tadao Ando
I think of the past and the future as well as the present to determine where I am, and I move on while thinking of these things.
Tadao Ando
We borrow from nature the space upon which we build.
Tadao Ando
I take the museum space also as sacred in a sense.
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
There are self-made millionaires - their aspiration is first to make money. But the once that goal is achieved, they have to look for something and sometimes they become patrons of art or museums. And that is how the world should go.
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
Since I am a Japanese man who's been building through the experience of Japanese architecture, my actual designs come from Japanese architectural concepts, although they're based on Western methods and materials.
Tadao Ando
My hand is the extension of the thinking process - the creative process.
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
All those involved in the construction of an architectural design, from the architect to the builder, have an attachment to the architecture, although it's difficult to quantify the attachment.
Tadao Ando
Spiritual space is lost in gaining convenience. I saw the need to create a mixture of Japanese spiritual culture and modern western architecture.
Tadao Ando
You always want to try to make something new, and, of course, America is the world leader in economics today.
Tadao Ando
If you give people nothingness, they can ponder what can be achieved from that nothingness.
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
Working in Tokyo has convinced me that, contrary to what people think, it is actually one of the world's most beautiful cities.
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
I believe that the way people live can be directed a little by architecture.
Tadao Ando
