I Believe That The Way

Without This Spirit, Modernist Architecture Cannot Fully Exist. Since There Is Often A Mismatch Between The Logic And The Spirit Of Modernism, I Use Architecture To Reconcile The Two.

I Like Ruins Because What Remains Is Not The Total Design, But The Clarity Of Thought, The Naked Structure, The Spirit Of The Thing.

It Wasn't That I Had Any Great Dream Of Being An Architect. I Just Wanted To Make Things. Whether It Was Furniture, Painting, Interior Design, Or Architecture. I Just Wanted To Create Something.

Working In Tokyo Has Convinced Me That, Contrary To What People Think, It Is Actually One Of The World's Most Beautiful Cities.

You Cannot Simply Put Something New Into A Place. You Have To Absorb What You See Around You, What Exists On The Land, And Then Use That Knowledge Along With Contemporary Thinking To Interpret What You See.
