I start with probing the architectural language currently considered to
be natural, such as a wall, a window, the inside and the exterior etc and explore the meaning behind these elements for every project.
But because deprivation of a meaning or the value is completely really impossible, at least I would like to continue delaying or suspending the arrival meaning or value.
I would like to build the world that can be integrated by neither a summary nor the language.
I would like to induce an idea in the metaphysical, induce feeling in the physical,
but come and go through both sides continuously.
I would like to build that what is simply it.
