I Believe That The Way People Live

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.

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

You Cannot Simply Put Something New Into A Place. You Have To Absorb What You See Around You, What Exists On The Land, And Then Use That Knowledge Along With Contemporary Thinking To Interpret What You See.

If There Is Only One Culture All Over The World, That's Not A Good Thing.

I Am Interested In Things Happening Around Me, And I Need To Understand What's Going On In Other Artistic Sectors Like Music And Literature.
