  Design Philosophy

I don't dare to possess coherent theme, characteristics, color or style in
each architectural designing. And this is because, by proceeding a project,
I support the philosophies which follows below;

-Commitment of inventive designing on any condition is essential, and I
believe a change in terms and circumstances will bring up an individual
approach.

-A lot of Labor powers are required in architectural establishment.
An assembly of "peoples" in the various expertise  such as client, designer,
construction designer, engineer, graphic designer, builder, will form a
team, and good team work will eventually arise fine deliberables.

-There may be different characteristics in each team. I consider my role is
to take points from people of different positions, direct them, and organize
the project in order.
