Tadao Ando

Sketch, Pulizer Foundation for the Arts (2001)

Light is the origin of all beings. Light gives, with each moment, new being and new interrelationships to things, and architecture condenses light to its most concise being. The creation of space in architecture is simply the condensation and purification of the power of light.

— Tardo Ando
