WHO IS

For Antonin Raymond.
These words are the origin of my architecture.
I cannot speak of my architecture without speaking of
Antonin Raymond, the great master of our field.

When I first encountered his work,
my life was profoundly drawn toward it.
What moved me was not only the beauty of his architecture,
but also the way he saw and understood the world—
light, materials, nature, time, and human activities.

I continue to face those questions even now.
My aim is not to imitate his architecture.
That is why I continue to think here today.
