Richard Pare's photographs beautifully capture the sublime simplicity, the materiality, and the quality of time in Ando's work. -American Institute of Architects Pare [has a gift] for capturing moments, scenes and viewpoints of a building, inside and out, that even the architect that designed the building is often unaware of...
