Tadao Ando: Creating Dreams, Dublin

Tadao Ando at the RDS, Dublin, on September 23, 2007. Ando chose this image of the Yoyogi National Gymnasium to open and close his lecture, Creating Dreams, saying Kenzo Tange's building for the 1964 Tokyo Olympic Games had a profound influence on him, by evoking a Japanese temple (local, traditional) while employing world-class, innovative technology (global, modern).
