| "..you
could say that my aim is 'to recover the place'. the place is a result of nature and time, this is the most important aspect. I think my architecture is some kind of frame of nature. with it we can experience nature more deeply and more intimately. transparency is a characteristic of japanese architecture, I try to use light and natural materials to get a new kind of transparency. " Kengo Kuma |
