Ma Yansong:
“Tadao Ando, a Japanese architect, he built a small church out of glass next to a lake in Shimukappu, Japan. He brought in light horizontally instead of from the top, and through the windows you can see the water outside the building and then there’s mountains beyond. Then instead of having the cross inside, he put in the middle of the water — it’s very beautiful. And you think although you’re in a very low and small space, actually you feel that the nature, the outside is an extension of this space. It’s very poetic.”
