My Objective Is To Design A Space

If There Is Only One Culture All Over The World, That's Not A Good Thing.

No Matter How Advanced Society Becomes, Institutionally Or Technologically, A House In Which Nature Can Be Sensed Represents For Me The Ideal Environment In Which To Live. From A Functional Viewpoint, The Courtyard Of The Rowhouse In Sumiyoshi Forces The Inhabitant To Endure The Occasional Hardships. At The Same Time, However, The Open Courtyard Is Capable Of Becoming The House's Vital Organ, Introducing The Everyday Life And Assimilating Precious Stimuli Such As Changes In Nature.

All Those Involved In The Construction Of An Architectural Design, From The Architect To The Builder, Have An Attachment To The Architecture, Although It's Difficult To Quantify The Attachment.

There Is A Role And Function For Beauty In Our Time.

People Tend Not To Use This Word Beauty Because It's Not Intellectual - But There Has To Be An Overlap Between Beauty And Intellect.
