Ando was raised in Japan where the religion and style of life strongly influenced his architecture and design. Ando's architectural style is said to create a "haiku" effect, emphasizing nothingness, and empty space to represent the beauty of simplicity.
Tadao Ando's body of work is known for the creative use of natural light and for structures that follow natural forms of the landscape, rather than disturbing the landscape by making it conform to the constructed space of a building.
He uses his own unique 'recipe' of concrete, which he calls Ando concrete. He says it is a perfect balance of water, sand, aggregate, and steel bars.
