Spiritual Space Is Lost In

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

I Don't Believe Architecture Has To Speak Too Much. It Should Remain Silent And Let Nature In The Guise Of Sunlight And Wind

If I Can Create Some Space That People Haven't Experienced Before And If It Stays With Them Or Gives Them A Dream For The Future, That's The Kind Of Structure I Seek To Create.

Since I Am A Japanese Man Who's Been Building Through The Experience Of Japanese Architecture, My Actual Designs Come From Japanese Architectural Concepts, Although They're Based On Western Methods And Materials.

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.
