It wasn't that I had any great dream of being an architect. I just wanted to make things. Whether it was furniture, painting, interior design, or architecture. I just wanted to create something.

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

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

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.

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

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

In all my works, light is an important controlling factor.
