I believe that the way people live can be directed a little by architecture.
In all my works, light is an important controlling factor.
I take the museum space also as sacred in a sense.
In Japan, there is less a culture of preserving old buildings than in Europe.
I hope America can also be the cultural leader of the world, and use this frontier spirit to lead and show others that we need courage to go places where we have not gone before.
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.
