If you look at the buildings, you'll find that one part looks as if it was designed by one man, and you go around and look at another facade and it looks as if it was designed by another man, you see.

If you have white walls, human beings look better in a room than if you have red walls.

I have been criticized rather strenuously by painters and sculptors for not incorporating their work in our buildings.

I want to do very useful buildings and I would like to find a method of producing these buildings through our technology because I think that this is the only way that we will gain wonderful environment easily in the future.

I didn't want to lose the human scale.

And I think that the environment is one very strong way to counterbalance the chaotic nature of our life.

The purpose of architecture is to create an atmosphere in which man can live, work, and enjoy.
