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

I want to create a space that moves people. It doesn't matter if it is a house, or a museum, or whatever. So, it is somebody sitting on that lawn, just going around and around and feeling really happy. That is something that I'm striving for.

If you give people nothingness, they can ponder what can be achieved from that nothingness.

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

You always want to try to make something new, and, of course, America is the world leader in economics today.

When I design buildings, I think of the overall composition, much as the parts of a body would fit together. On top of that, I think about how people will approach the building and experience that space.

I think everyone needs a goal. And what kind of goal will be important. And for that we have to study and we have to be intelligent.
