Tadao Ando (born in Osaka in 1941) is one of the best-known Japanese architects. His architecture combines elements of the Japanese tradition with those of modernity. He acquired his knowledge in self-study and founded his office, Tadao Ando Architect & Associates in Osaka in 1969. He was a professor at Tokyo University until 2003 and taught at American universities Harvard, Yale and Columbia. In 1995 he won the Pritzker Prize.
