Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth designed by Tadao Ando

The Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth (widely known as The Modern) was designed by Japanese architect Tadao Ando, and was opened to the public in December 2002. The building features five long, pavilions set into a reflecting pond. The "Modern" is located in the city's Cultural District.
Tadao Ando (安藤 忠雄, born in Osaka, Japan in 1941) is a Japanese architect whose approach to architecture was categorized by Francesco Dal Co as critical regionalism. Ando has led a storied life, working as a truck driver and boxer prior to settling on the profession of architecture, despite never having taken formal training in the field. He visited buildings designed by renowned architects like Le Corbusier, Ludwig Mies Van der Rohe, Frank Lloyd Wright and Louis Kahn before returning to Osaka in 1968 and established his own design studio, Tadao Ando Architect and Associates. He works primarily in exposed cast-in-place concrete and is renowned for an exemplary craftsmanship which invokes a Japanese sense of materiality, junction and spatial narrative through the pared aesthetics of international modernism. - Wikipedia

Nothing says Modernism like concrete, steel and glass.

Powerful forms, expansive volumes, masterful use of water to soften the implacable flatness of north Texas. Bravo Ando. Loose the loopy soundtrack: music taken from a 1980's toothpaste commercial. Ando deserves J.S. Bach.

I went there with the love of my life, he is dead now.

That took a turn

[@adamdonovan5633]

This disco soundtrack is absurd...undermines Ando's attempt to bring serenity and order to architecture. Ando is a genius; what is a man like that doing in Texas? Total cognitive disconnect. Sad.
