      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 ago, 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.”
