TADAO ANDO
I was lucky enough to see a film festival doco on Tadao Ando, a well known Japanese Architect. His style is sometimes referred to as 'Brutalism' – a movement which flourished between 1950-1970. I love his use of light and form. He has such a sound understanding of shapes and proportions that makes his spaces so interesting. They seem very fitting for a large busy city, where the need to retreat to peace, self-reflection and less stimulation is a necessity.
