"According to the traditional Japanese interpretation, architecture is always one with nature, and it attempts to isolate and fix, at a point of time, nature as it exists in its organic metamorphoses. In other words, it is an architecture reduced to the extremes of simplicity, and an aesthetic so devoid of actuality and attributes that it approached theories of "mu", or "nothingness". Connections with nature are effected by subtle transformations caused in part by delicate contrasts of light and shade. In these connections it is the wall, made as light and thin as possible, that permits - or, more accurately, evokes - space."
- Tadao Ando
Imagine if you could find that with clothing.
How wonderful it would be.
