The Speed Of Change Makes You Wonder

If I Can Create Some Space That People Haven't Experienced Before And If It Stays With Them Or Gives Them A Dream For The Future, That's The Kind Of Structure I Seek To Create.

No Matter How Advanced Society Becomes, Institutionally Or Technologically, A House In Which Nature Can Be Sensed Represents For Me The Ideal Environment In Which To Live. From A Functional Viewpoint, The Courtyard Of The Rowhouse In Sumiyoshi Forces The Inhabitant To Endure The Occasional Hardships. At The Same Time, However, The Open Courtyard Is Capable Of Becoming The House's Vital Organ, Introducing The Everyday Life And Assimilating Precious Stimuli Such As Changes In Nature.

Japanese Architecture Is Traditionally Based On Wooden Structures That Need Renovating On A Regular Basis.

People Tend Not To Use This Word Beauty Because It's Not Intellectual - But There Has To Be An Overlap Between Beauty And Intellect.
