Tadao Ando is a Japanese architect. Self-taught, he established his own architectural firm in 1968 entitled Tadao Ando Architects and Associates. Ando is known for his sparse but elegant designs that focus on space and light, often taking their direction from the exterior landscape.

Some of his other well-known work includes his housing complex at Rokko and the Kujo townhouse, also in Osaka. In 1995 he won the Pritzker Architecture Prize.
Tadao Ando has an estimated height of 5'8" (1.73 m) based on comparative photo analysis.
