		Tadao Ando, born in Osaka, Japan in 1941, has become one of the world's most influential architects.
		Though some say that concrete is boring and ugly, Tadao effectively uses the smooth material to create "spaces...that allow constantly changing patterns of light and wind..." He places much importance on light, wind and the walls that either shield or allow nature into the structure.

	Tadao Ando - L'Erroneo
		Ando è un architetto autodidatta, almeno apparentemente, tuttavia la particolarità formativa, lo differenzia dagli altri progettisti giapponesi contemporanei per lo spessore culturale non imbrigliato in facili accademisti e formalismi.
		L'architettura di Tadao Ando rifiuta ogni moda che conduce all’uso di materiali e forme tipiche del materialismo e dell’edonismo odierno, imponendo un rigoroso minimalismo architettonico.
		In opposizione con l’architettura tradizionale giapponese, Ando crea spazi stretti ma non chiusi, ambienti flessibili spesso delimitati da cortine mobili, interni protetti da muri esterni che servono da deflettori per il brusio della città.
