The speed of change makes you wonder what will become of architecture.

I take the museum space also as sacred in a sense.

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.

Japanese architecture is traditionally based on wooden structures that need renovating on a regular basis.

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

My objective is to design a space that nobody else can come up with while using the material that anyone can use.

I don't look so closely at women's fashion, but from the 20th century on, people have had the freedom to express themselves and their individualities, and fashion is one of the most fundamental ways in which they do this, men and women are equally able to express themselves.
