"I believe that the way people live can be directed a little by architecture." ― Tadao Ando Topic(s): Architecture More From Tadao Ando "If you give people nothingness, they can ponder what can be achieved from that nothingness." "My hand is the extension of the thinking process – the creative process." "People tend not to use this word beauty because it’s not intellectual – but there has to be an overlap between beauty and intellect." More In Architecture "I take a lot from everywhere. I take from music, architecture, novels, and plays. Anywhere that hits you."― Alex Winter "If you’re into architecture and you’re from the West, everything is hors d’oeuvres for working to rebuild the Temple. Ultimately you’re led there. You can’t escape it."― Ben Nicholson "The two elements the traveler first captures in the big city are extra human architecture and furious rhythm. Geometry and anguish."― Federico Garcia Lorca
