believe space architecture
All architecture has a public nature, I believe, so I would like to make a public space.
america leader trying
You always want to try to make something new, and, of course, America is the world leader in economics today.
moving creativity technology
The computer offers another kind of creativity. You cannot ignore the creativity that computer technology can bring. But you need to be able to move between those two different worlds.
thinking suffering gone
I think that capitalism has just gone too far. And it is actually not limited to the United States. The excesses of capitalism is making us suffer all over the world right now.
life positive dream
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.
moving space museums
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.
moving thinking past
I think of the past and the future as well as the present to determine where I am, and I move on while thinking of these things.
believe people littles
I believe that the way people live can be directed a little by architecture.
art creativity thinking
My hand is the extension of the thinking process - the creative process.
art museums self
There are self-made millionaires - their aspiration is first to make money. But the once that goal is achieved, they have to look for something and sometimes they become patrons of art or museums. And that is how the world should go.
fashion men people
I don't look so closely at women's fashion, but from the 20th century on, people have had the freedom to express themselves and their individualities, and fashion is one of the most fundamental ways in which they do this, men and women are equally able to express themselves.
thinking space people
When I design buildings, I think of the overall composition, much as the parts of a body would fit together. On top of that, I think about how people will approach the building and experience that space.
people giving pondering
If you give people nothingness, they can ponder what can be achieved from that nothingness.
