I first decided architecture was for me when I saw Le Corbusier's designs in a Japanese magazine in the 1930s.

Technological considerations are of great importance to architecture and cities in the informational society.

Architecture must have something that appeals to the human heart. Creative work is expressed in our time as a union of technology and humanity.

In architecture, the demand was no longer for box-like forms, but for buildings that have something to say to the human emotions.

Tradition can, to be sure, participate in a creation, but it can no longer be creative itself.

Inconsistency itself breeds vitality.

I like to think there is something deep in our own world of reality that will create a dynamic balance between technology and human existence, the relationship between which has a decisive effect on contemporary cultural forms and social structure.
