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

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

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.

You can't really say what is beautiful about a place, but the image of the place will remain vividly with you.

In Architecture there is a part that is the result of Logical Reasoning and a part that is created through the Senses. There is always a point where they Clash. I don't think Architecture can be created without that Collision.

Spiritual space is lost in gaining convenience. I saw the need to create a mixture of Japanese spiritual culture and modern western architecture.

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