Tadao Ando is known as the “Japanese Master of Minimalism.” His style mixes traditional Japanese architecture with a contemporary flair, featuring creative uses of natural light and structures that flow with landscapes instead of challenging them. His buildings often contain large expanses of unadorned cement walls with stone floors and large windows that play with the sun, rain and wind.
