“Architecture must not do violence to space or its neighbors.”

“For many years, I have lived uncomfortably with the belief that most planning and architectural design suffers for lack of real and basic purpose. The ultimate purpose, it seems to me, must be the improvement of mankind.”

“Japanese traditional architecture is created based on these conditions. This is the reason you have a very high degree of connection between the outside and inside in architecture.”

“In architecture and interiors, as well as fashion, there is an interaction that is both functional and aesthetic.”
