On the other side of the street is the four-year-old Modern Art Museum, designed by Tadao Ando. It is the first Ando work I have seen, and it has all the characteristics of an Ando. Beautiful thick concrete walls with an immaculately polished surface, dynamically changing in color. Lines of formwork very carefully considered. Concrete drums that reconfigure the largely orthogonal spaces. And a reflecting pool from which the museum appears to float.
