1. The use of light is evident in Ando’s architecture, creating a sense of exterior light penetrating the interior. 2. The rectangular geometrical properties of the façade give a sense of volume and space, by interweaving the interior and exterior spaces through complex three dimensional circulation paths. 3. Ando’s architecture brings forth an idea of connecting to a landscape; the use of glass material accentuates the connection between the external environments to the interior, whilst following the natural form of landscape. 4. The private aspect of Ando’s architecture focuses upon providing an enclosed area, primarily for the individual unaffected by external factors. 5. Concrete is infused within Ando’s architecture to portray a relationship between a material and the volume of the structure.
1) Designing with nature---preserving access to and views of native bush land and being sensitive to natural features such as escarpments, creeks, rocky outcrops and established trees. 2) Geometry—making use of the natural environments geometry in designing the planning of both Canberra and Castlecrag. 3) Group of buildings faced one another to give that sense of separation and administrative zones. 4) Explores the connection between the natural form and city purpose. 5) They have recreational areas which encourages social interaction.
