The architect Tadao Ando designs buildings using exposed cast-in-place concrete walls, often with deliberately placed apertures admitting carefully calculated angles of natural light. Visitors to his Church of the Light, in Osaka, encounter a stark interior dominated by a cruciform opening through which sunlight falls in shifting patterns through the day. Critics have noted that Ando's spaces depend less on materials' richness than on the relationships between the materials and the light they receive.
Based on the passage, which inference is most strongly supported about Ando's architectural approach?
- A
His buildings are uniformly dark inside
- B
His effects depend primarily on costly material finishes
- Ccheck_circle
His spaces gain expressive force from the orchestration of relatively simple materials with light
- D
His designs avoid any reference to natural light
Explanation
Concrete plus calculated apertures and light-driven effects supports B. A, C, D contradict the passage.
