Tadao Ando Church on the Water Detail – Structure
Steel frame structure
Tadao Ando- Koshino House- MATERIALS
Another factor worth noting is that there are no decorative elements. The view provided by the wide openings along with the shadows cast by the narrow openings and skylights, and the texture of the concrete both combined, operate as the only ornamentation. Smooth Concrete All the walls are made of this material and are free of ornamentation and in their natural form. Tadao Ando used this material because it is a way to admit light and wind within the walls and creating a sense of serenity and wide open spaces. Another reason why using this material is due to industrialization and technological resources to which access is the architect living in a developed country such as Japan. Glass Widely used to make large glass windows throughout the house. The reason for using this material is giving way to large quantities of light and offer a view of the garden.
