Seven Interviews with Tadao Ando

Seven Interviews with Tadao Ando

The interviews reveal Ando's central belief that architecture is all about creating "exquisite and wonderful memories" which come about when a building allows its occupants to connect with themselves and make their intellectual dreams become possible. Ando also recognizes that the creation of such memories must involve the architect taking risks; in the case of Fort Worth, the building's double skin of concrete encased in a glass-skin box is entirely new. These concepts are discussed not only within the specific context of the Fort Worth building, but also within the context of Ando's wider underlying philosophy and beliefs.
