I believe that the way people live can be directed a little by architecture.

I think that capitalism has just gone too far. And it is actually not limited to the United States. The excesses of capitalism is making us suffer all over the world right now.

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.

I would like my architecture to inspire people to use their own resources, to move into the future.

Working in Tokyo has convinced me that, contrary to what people think, it is actually one of the world's most beautiful cities.

The level of detail and craft is something that's inscribed within the original design concept. And so when I begin to draw, I know what kind of detailing I want the building to have.

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