New Horizons- Ando

Alike Christian Noberg-Schulz, Tadao Ando writes in poetic tones to compliment his philosophical arguments. His notions about architectural creation are rooted in critical action, where the project’s ‘functional requirements’ determines the proceeding questions. A residential design takes on more meaning as it is viewed as a ‘vessel for human dwelling’ that is inspired by daily human activity. This activity subsequently informs the abstraction of the geometric form.
