I would like my architectureto inspire people to use their

own resources, to move into

the future

0ou cannot simply put

something into place. 0ou

have to absorb what you see

around you, what is use in

the land and then use that

knowledge along with

contemporary thinking to

interpret what you see.

I do not believe architecture

should speak too much. It

should remain silent and let

nature in the guise of

sunlight and wind

I like the ruins because

what remains is not a total

design, but the clarity of

thought, the baked structure,

the spirit of the thing.

my hand is the e9tension ofthe thinking processthe

creative process

Without this spirit ,

modernist architecture

cannot fully e9ist. Since

there is often a mismatch

between the logic and the

spirit of modernism. I use

architecture to reconcile the

two.

I believe that the waypeople live can be directed a

little by architecture

If you give people

nothingness, they can

ponder what can be achieved

from that nothingness.
