We Borrow From Nature The Space Upon

Spiritual Space Is Lost In Gaining Convenience. I Saw The Need To Create A Mixture Of Japanese Spiritual Culture And Modern Western Architecture.

If You Give People Nothingness, They Can Ponder What Can Be Achieved From That Nothingness.

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.

It Wasn't That I Had Any Great Dream Of Being An Architect. I Just Wanted To Make Things. Whether It Was Furniture, Painting, Interior Design, Or Architecture. I Just Wanted To Create Something.

I Hope That America As A Whole, And Especially Its Architects, Will Become More Seriously Involved In Producing A New Architectural Culture That Would Bring The Nation To The Apex - Where It Has Stood Before - And Lead The World.
