Today we went to see several works by Tadao Ando - the Water Temple, Awaji Yumebutai, and Rokko Housing. I really liked Awaji, though the Water Temple was cool, too.
These holes are leftover marks from the framework for the concrete pour. They are all over Ando's concrete projects.
Looking back at the entrance to the Water Temple.

Awaji Yumebutai - a landscape project. I believe this area used to be a mining ground, and all that was left was a gaping hole, so Ando's project made use of the "ruined" landscape and turned it into an amazing garden-scape showcasing all the plants in Japan.
There was a wedding here, and these ladies were picking up the leftover flower petals from the ceremony.
Ando is speaking tomorrow in Osaka, so we are deviating from our itinerary to see if we can catch his lecture, wooo.
