Experiment 2

The two architects I have chosen for Experiment 2 are

• Walter Burley Griffin (1876 - 1937) (ref 1); and
• Tadao Ando (1941 - ) (ref 2)

Griffin is perhaps best known as the designer of Canberra (Australia's Capital City). Within Australia, he is also well known for the work he did at Castle Crag (a suburb on Sydney's North Shore). You might also want to research some of the Incinerator's designed by him. Griffin's architecture is strongly influenced by Frank Lloyd Wright (who was strongly influenced by traditional Japanese architecture)...

Tadao Ando is a Japanese Architect who has designed a number of beautiful Modernist buildings (he is also influenced by Frank Lloyd Wright and traditional Japanese architecture). Some of his buildings include the "Church on the Water", the "Church of the Light", and the "Rokko Housing" complex.

Ando won the Pritzker Prize in 1995 (the top Architecture award in the world) and the Pritker website ( http://www.pritzkerprize.com/laureates/1995) has some useful information...
