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

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

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.

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

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

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

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