Early life
Ando was born a few minutes before his twin brother in 1941 in Minato-ku, Osaka, Japan.[3] At the age of two, his family chose to separate them and have Tadao live with his great-grandmother.[3] He worked as a boxer and fighter before settling on the profession of architect, despite never having formal training in the field.
