Architecture is about public space held by buildings.
Spiritual space is lost in gaining convenience. I saw the need to create a mixture of Japanese spiritual culture and modern western architecture.
All architecture is shelter all great architecture is the design of space that contains cuddles exalts or stimulates the persons in that space.
Architecture is the will of an epoch translated into space.
As a designer the mission with which we have been charged is simple: providing space at the right cost.
Architects in the past have tended to concentrate their attention on the building as a static object. I believe dynamics are more important: the dynamics of people their interaction with spaces and environmental condition.
I love building spaces: architecture furniture all of it probably more than fashion. The development procedure is more tactile. It's about space and form and it's something you can share with other people.
To me a building - if it's beautiful - is the love of one man he's made it out of his love for space materials things like that.
Space has always been the spiritual dimension of architecture. It is not the physical statement of the structure so much as what it contains that moves us.
Architecture is the art of how to waste space.
