    Tadao Ando is a renowned Japanese architect known for his minimalist concrete designs focused on light, space, and water. Some key works include over 100 houses, as well as religious structures like the Church of Light in Osaka, which uses concrete, light, and a diagonal wall to create a floating roof effect. Ando's designs perceptually transform materials and spaces through precise manipulation of light.

    Case study:

    Architect : TADAO ANDO


    • Known for his sensitive, assured use of reinforced concrete,

    • produces works of architecture through the deft manipulation


    and framing of light, space, and water.

    • Ando was self-taught, seeking out instruction through


    apprenticeships with carpenters, designers, and planners as
    well as independent reading and travel to visit major works by

    •  he found success in his designs for houses—he has completed


    over 100 residential projects

    • with a special focus on public buildings including religious


    structure and museums
    Church of light
    • city of Osaka.

    • Material :Concrete and light.

    •  Tadao ando‘s principal focus: simplicity and minimalist aesthetics


    structural element was a mere membrane on outer shell
    • The main Church of Light, is a box of 6 x 6 x 18 crossed
    by a wall at an angle of 15 °, which energizes the space
    because being separate from the cover that allows light
    to filter inside creating the impression of a floating
    roof. The diagonal wall contains the glass entrance
    door, which slides horizontally.

    • The irony is that the Church of the Light, a small space of


    around 100 square meters, has the ability to raise
    awareness just by its genus loci.
    Light is the origin of all being.
    Light gives, with each moment,
    new form to being and new
    interrelationships to things, and
    architecture condenses light to
    its most concise being. The
    creation of space in architecture
    is simply the condensation and
    purification of the power of light.”
    – Tadao Ando
    The geometry is nothing more than six walls and a roof, a minimalist end
    point that requires a thoughtful process that is able to eliminate anything
    else that is not relevant.

    as well as his other projects, has a surreal effect that perceptually changes
    material into immaterial, dark into light, light into space
    The light from the cross and calculated slits on the building
    dematerialized the interior concrete walls and transformed the
    dark volume into an illuminated box

    One of the slits that interrupts the facade is a cruciform


    that is cut into the concrete behind the altar.

    He intersected intangible light and solid concrete in a manner


    that creates awe, befitting for a place of worship

    as well as his other projects, has a surreal effect that


    perceptually changes material into immaterial, dark into
    light, light into space
    South east direction- main chapel. This is done so that morning
    rays of sun enter directly into the chapel.

    Access to the compound was made intentionally indirect, unlike


    many churches in west.

    Visitors are forced to enter from north east corner through a


    side street through a forecourt that leads to a corner of the
    church near ministers house
    STUDY MODEL
    He art museum
    Design inspiration
    • The design of the building takes ‘harmony’ as the theme.

    .
    • a variety of circles is presented These circles constructed the space of the building
    through ripple-like expansion: from top to bottom, with the overlapping of four
    circles.

    • With each area’s clear-cut periphery, an enriched variation effect is created


    through the interaction between spaces.
    The spiral upwards to connect all four floors and frame an oculus at the top that
    functions as a skylight

    The central skywell floods each floor of exhibition spaces with natural light, creating
    spaciousness,
    clarity and symbol of hope
