People tend not to use this word beauty because it's not intellectual - but there has to be an overlap between beauty and intellect.

I think everyone needs a goal. And what kind of goal will be important. And for that we have to study and we have to be intelligent.

All architecture has a public nature, I believe, so I would like to make a public space.

There is a role and function for beauty in our time.

My hand is the extension of the thinking process - the creative process.

I create enclosed spaces mainly by means of thick concrete walls. The primary reason is to create a place for the individual, a zone for oneself within society. When the external factors of a city's environment require the wall to be without openings, the interior must be especially full and satisfying.

Spiritual space is lost in gaining convenience. I saw the need to create a mixture of Japanese spiritual culture and modern western architecture.
