A day for Architects!

Day 12: July 6th we went to Awaji Yumebutai and Honpukuji or Water Temple, both designed by Tadao Ando.

In addition, Tadao Ando happened to be at Awaji Yumebutai on the same day that we visited! There is a photograph circulating of him with my program-mates.

Both of Ando-san's buildings are amazing. He's a master at making built structure that mimics and weaves into the natural landscape.

Honpukuji:



Unfortunately, in the process of completing this blog post,  I accidentally deleted the photos of both Awaji Yumebutai and Honpukuji that were on my iPhone (my camera died part way).  T_T
