"I believe that the way people live can be directed a little by architecture." ― Tadao Ando Topic(s): Architecture More From Tadao Ando "You can’t really say what is beautiful about a place, but the image of the place will remain vividly with you." "Spiritual space is lost in gaining convenience. I saw the need to create a mixture of Japanese spiritual culture and modern western architecture." "When I design buildings, I think of the overall composition, much as the parts of a body would fit together. On top of that, I think about how people will approach the building and experience that space." More In Architecture "Rome has not seen a modern building in more than half a century. It is a city frozen in time."― Richard Meier "Architecture and building is about how you get around the obstacles that are presented to you. That sometimes determines how successful you’ll be: How good are you at going around obstacles?"― Jeremy Renner "If architecture is frozen music then music must be liquid architecture."― Quincy Jones
