## Bio

Tadao Ando was born in Japan on September 13, 1941, and never went to architecture school. He taught himself, which may explain why his work feels like no one else's: a blend of structure and site so tight that historian Francesco Dal Co called it "critical regionalism." The buildings integrate architecture and landscape as if neither could exist without the other. In 1995, the Pritzker jury agreed and gave him the prize.
