Hi, everyone! I will introduce Japanese famous architect. His name is Tadao Ando.He was born in Osaka, September 13th,1941. After graduating from technical high school, he didn't enter University and learned architecture by himself. It was very surprising for me, because I had thought that he accepted professional education. Thien, I will show the feature of his building.
First,he used concrete to create buildings. Concrete is very cheap material and inorganic. By using concrete,he expressed a variety of shapes and texture.
Second,he tried to harmonize nature and building and work on environment problem. He thought that builing is a part of enviroment , so he adopted the structure which naturally can ventilate without machine when he designed station building of Shibuya station.
In my opinion,Tadao Ando is the greatest architect in Japan.
There are two reasons for this. First, He is excellent as architect. He bought new idea to architecture and made space which didn't have any purpose because it had people exercise their imagination.

It seems contradictory that he thought buildings should be part of the environment, but he made them out of concrete. I guess concrete is our modern environment?
