Expert that I admire

The expert that I admire is "Tadao Ando", an japanese architect. He was born in Osaka in 2941 and he learned architecture in a self thaught way. When he was young he was an amateur boxer and then he dedicated himself to architecture learning during his travels in Africa, Europe and the United States. In 1970 he began with his first works with small constructions that later became larger. His work is closely related to japanese culture, history and architecture.

In his constructions, use a simple and minimalist geometry. Also, he use the light like an important element in his constructions. An example of this is the famous "Church of the light", wich a natural light enter to the enclosure in a controlled way and becomes the protagonist (we can see in the photo). Other important works are the "Koshino house", "Azuma house", amog others.

I like this architect because I like the manner of he use the light and the harmony in his work, in a spiritual way that's nice for me to see. I also like cleanliness in his works and the way in wich nature occupies inside his constructions to insolate them from the cities.
