Chirp No. 5 - ANDO






Chirp No. 5 - ANDO
This avian dwelling pays homage to the architectural ethos of Tadao Ando, the self-taught Japanese master renowned for his refined use of geometry, light, and spatial clarity.
At its core, a pure rectilinear volume is punctuated to form the entry aperture. An L-shaped roof element wraps the form, extending beyond the façade to provide both shelter and spatial definition. A secondary void—subtly carved into the folded roof—offers a small perch, reinforcing the quiet interplay between solid and void. The overall composition reflects Ando’s sensitivity to form, restraint, and the poetic power of simplicity.
