Tadao Ando’s buildings are elemental. They embrace natural forces, the manmade meeting sunlight and wind. If there is any consistent factor in his work, says Pritzker-winning architect Tadao Ando, then it is the pursuit of light. Ando’s complex choreography of light fascinates most when the viewer experiences the sensitive transitions within his architecture. Sometimes walls wait calmly for the moment to reveal striking shadow patterns, and at other times water reflections animate unobstrusively solid surfaces.
