Because there are a lot of big cities in the world, people who live in cities have become more isolated than ever.

Children don't run around outside as much as they did. They sit in front of computer games.

The dreams of the 1960s began to disappear in the 1970s. The economy collapsed, and so did the optimism of the Metabolists.

Because there are a lot of big cities in the world, people who live in cities have become more isolated than ever.

I would like to use architecture to create bonds between people who live in cities, and even use it to recover the communities that used to exist in every single city.

I am trying to counter the fixity of architectures, their stolidity, with elements that give an ineffable immaterial quality.
