Precedences

Tulach a'tSolais, an austerely beautiful memorial designed by Ronald Tallon of Scott Tallon Walker Architects and the sculptor Michael Warren on Oulart Hill, County Wexford.



I find the way Ando works with conrete simply beautiful. He softens the material whilst still revealing the strength of it. The way Ando plays with light and shadow in his buildings is stunning.

I am inspired by the way Ando uses the concrete as a design feature as he leaves the large reinforced conrete blocks unrendered.

Tadao Ando is a g-e-n-i-u-s. Stunning pictures!
