In The West There Has Always Been The Attempt To Try Make The Religious Building, Whether It's A Medieval Or Renaissance Church, An Eternal Object For The Celebration Of God. The Material Chosen, Such As Stone, Brick, Or Concrete, Is Meant To Eternally Preserve What Is Inside.

The Speed Of Change Makes You Wonder What Will Become Of Architecture.

Since I Am A Japanese Man Who's Been Building Through The Experience Of Japanese Architecture, My Actual Designs Come From Japanese Architectural Concepts, Although They're Based On Western Methods And Materials.

I Like Ruins Because What Remains Is Not The Total Design, But The Clarity Of Thought, The Naked Structure, The Spirit Of The Thing.
