My Objective Is To Design A Space

I Don't Believe Architecture Has To Speak Too Much. It Should Remain Silent And Let Nature In The Guise Of Sunlight And Wind

Look At London Or Paris: They're Both Filthy. You Don't Get That In Tokyo. The Proud Residents Look After Their City.

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.

In Italy, There Are So Many Significant Architectural Structures In History Such As The Pantheon In Rome, Or The Duomo.
