As Long As You Have An Objective

In The West There Has Always Been The Attempt To Try Make The Religious Building, Whether It's A Medieval Or Renaissance Church, An Eternal Object For The Celebration Of God. The Material Chosen, Such As Stone, Brick, Or Concrete, Is Meant To Eternally Preserve What Is Inside.

Japanese Traditional Architecture Is Created Based On These Conditions. This Is The Reason You Have A Very High Degree Of Connection Between The Outside And Inside In Architecture.

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.

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

The Computer Offers Another Kind Of Creativity. You Cannot Ignore The Creativity That Computer Technology Can Bring. But You Need To Be Able To Move Between Those Two Different Worlds.
