Tadao Ando: Art & Design School

The Centro Roberto Garza Sada, also known as the Gate of Creation, reads almost operatic. The school’s scale, defined lines, perspective and angular shard like windows are cohesive in their starkness and imposition.

Despite it’s lengthy scale, the Art & Design School for University of Monterrey settles onto it’s surrounding Mexican landscape beautifully. The repetition of concrete, line work and angles create a resounding aesthetic symphony and is a fitting habitat for the next generation of architects, designers and artists.

For those of us who aren’t lucky enough to frequent it, Tadao Ando’s creation has been documented by Mexican film agency Nation for our appreciation.
