Message

Making liquid ink, facing to paper and doing Japanese calligraphy, I do the mental concentration. I control my breathing and face to calligraphy in order to get a picture of a precious moment by looking the condition of paper and the balance between a brush and liquid ink. This way of mental conditioning has the same quality when I face to Architecture.

Architecture is to understand the local history and climate for creating the distinctive space, existing only for a location.

It is an essential manner for myself to create space after absorbing light, shadow, wind and sunlight shining through the leaves of trees on the site. Joining TPOD, I am looking forward to design the space touching people’s heart.
