Tadao
Ando, one of Japan's greatest living architects, likes to tell the story of the
stray dog, a stately akita, that wandered into his studio in Osaka some 20
years age, and decided to stay. "First, I thought I would call her Kenzo
Tange; but then I realised I couldn't kick Kenzo Tange around. So I called her
Le Corbusier instead."
