In Italy, there are so many significant architectural structures in history such as the Pantheon in Rome, or the Duomo.

Italy is full of historical buildings. And Europe holds a great history of philosophy from Greece until today. I read all those books and see these buildings, and I think of where I stand when I design my architecture.

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 take the museum space also as sacred in a sense.

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

Without this spirit, Modernist architecture cannot fully exist. Since there is often a mismatch between the logic and the spirit of Modernism, I use architecture to reconcile the two.

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