Tadao Ando

If you give people nothingness, they can ponder what can be achieved from that nothingness.

The speed of change makes you wonder what will become of architecture.

In Italy, there are so many significant architectural structures in history such as the Pantheon in Rome, or the Duomo.

You were not built for comfort and convenience. You were built to overcome.

We have to base architecture on the environment.

We define ourselves as intelligent. That's odd, because we're doing the definition - We're creating our own definition and saying, 'We are intelligent!'
