Water as an element of the idea and composition in Tadao Ando’s architecture

Abstract

Tadao Ando is a Japanese artist usually associated with concrete architecture. His ascetic minimalist works include examples that successfully incorporate the elements of nature into the geometry of the architecture he creates. Water constitutes one of the key elements of nature that Ando uses both to shape the main architectural idea of the building and to compose the form of the structure or its immediate surroundings. The analysis of the artist’s architectural achievements allows one to consider Ando one of the most consistent contemporary architects who introduces water element to his numerous projects in such a variety of ways. Presenting Tadao Ando’s achievements, the author attempts to indicate the possibilities of the aesthetic use of water in contemporary architecture, which finds application both in shaping the main architectural idea of the building and, as a means of composition, in creating a refined and subtle form of the structure and its immediate surroundings.
