The first is a tower of glass that is close to half height and is supported by curved
pillars, the second runs parallel to the river, which is characterized by the moldings
that follow a wavy motion and distributed through the windows so the non-aligned .
This solution has been driven mainly by a kind of aesthetic consideration.
Winding moldings on the facade make it more confusing perspective,
diminishing the contrast with the buildings that surround it.

Zen-focuses on the concept of simplicity and concentrates on the inner feeling
rather than appearance in order to represent the aesthetic from sensation.

Ando says:
In all my works ,light is an important controlling factor.
I create enclosed spaces mainly by means of thick concrete.
When the external factors of a citys environment require the wall to be without
openings, the interior must be full and satisfying.
I create architectural order on the basis of geometry squares, circles, triangles and
rectangles.I try to use forces in the unity between house and nature (light and wind).
Existence of duality :
solid and void
light and shadow
stark and serene .
