There Is A Role And

In All My Works, Light Is An Important Controlling Factor.

I Create Enclosed Spaces Mainly By Means Of Thick Concrete Walls. The Primary Reason Is To Create A Place For The Individual, A Zone For Oneself Within Society. When The External Factors Of A City's Environment Require The Wall To Be Without Openings, The Interior Must Be Especially Full And Satisfying.

My Objective Is To Design A Space That Nobody Else Can Come Up With While Using The Material That Anyone Can Use.

We Borrow From Nature The Space Upon Which We Build.

When You Look At Japanese Traditional Architecture, You Have To Look At Japanese Culture And Its Relationship With Nature. You Can Actually Live In A Harmonious, Close Contact With Nature - This Very Unique To Japan.
