Architecture of Desire through Dialogue
The desire for architecture emerges and is discovered through dialogue. Relationships and connections reconstruct language, while creativity dismantles and transcends desire.
We discover and dismantle desire as it manifests in relationships, through communication rooted in language, observation, and The unexplored nature of space lies in uncovering points and imagination.
lines within relationships that went unnoticed — free from the constraints of function or beauty — and rendering them with simplicity at times, complexity at others.

The Function of Architecture as Revealed by Human Existence
What is architecture, and for whom or for what does it exist?
To face this fundamental theme, I have felt it inevitable to think first about the issue of human existence itself, simply because architecture is the existence created by mankind. We tend to regard our own existence as something unique and absolute. Yet, I believe we have a rather relative existence, situated and reflected through external conditions such as landscape and human relationships. Only through the external world—through landscape, other people, even the movement of celestial bodies, do we come to confirm our own existence. We are, on one hand, subjects who look at the world. On the other hand, we are objects looked at by the world. Each time I become aware of this "relational nature" of human existence, I find myself returning to the question of what the role of architecture in such condition is.
When we apply this structure—where the subject is exposed and made legible by the external world—to architecture, we can say that architecture is the entity that lies between the subject and the external world. The subject looks out on the external world through architecture and forms a relationship with it. At the same time, the external world looks back at us through the interface of architecture and allows us to find who we are.
Here I see the role of architecture. The more solid and reliable the external world that defines us through architecture, the more firmly we can recognize our own existence. Even if the "external world" we connect to through architecture is not the unstable condition that simply appears before our eyes, but an invisible one, it becomes all the more important that architecture makes that presence tangible.
Therefore, I define architecture as such an interface which connects us and the external world. I have devoted my passion to pursue the nature of the interface and how to optimize the function effectively. It is not enough that architecture merely exists between subject and world. This is because it is not easy to discover meaningful relationships between it and the subject due to the ambiguity and vagueness of the external world. In such a situation, architecture plays an essential role as an interface. By translating the external world and embodying its structure and order, architecture allows us—consciously or unconsciously—to understand and relate to the world through itself.
To conclude, as a translator of the external world, architecture links us to that world and helps to position us as solid, grounded beings. We as architects also need to comprehend the external world to give architecture meaningful shape. We need to read story, structure and order behind the world. Only when deep understanding is fulfilled, is this world transcribed into architecture with an impactful interface.

Bricolage City
Kyoto, the city where we established our office, is now composed of three types of architecture. Traditional machiya townhouses built before World War II that survived the war unscathed. Modern buildings constructed during the postwar reconstruction. And buildings designed in traditional styles but built using modern construction methods based on the 2007 Scenic Beauty Preservation Law. Recognizing that Kyoto has survived since 794 AD by preserving tradition while adapting to new cultures, we have sought to propose spaces using a modern architectural language, aiming to be entities that breathe new life into the old streetscape. Our previous publication, "ALPHAVILLE ARCHITECTS," compiled practical examples of how Primal Structure－architecture where dynamic structures enabled by new construction methods are embedded within dense streetscapes, with the structure itself functioning as a window－becomes an effective opening for contemporary living.

The Great View
Our architecture is all about view.
What makes the view great?
Building has a goal,
but the view we pursue is never be completed.
For our architecture, the best goal is no goal.
The goal, the great view,
is in every moment of your experience and memory.
It changes through people, time, or seasons.

BOUNDARY
The consideration to open the independent boundary which closed as a site in architecture. Architectures exist not for designer but for someone else, happen an interest to user, affect life of surrounding residence, and town that is aggregation of architecture is public even as one of those is things of personal. So, architecture has the law for keeping minimum of social because architecture is social behavior. But now, I think that a city have no attractive space that has free. Generally, architecture has boundary of the site. We cannot make architecture that over boundary by the law. Therefore, we have to also make all function such as garden, parking, and more. It is defended by boundary of the site. But urban space is continuous around space. A shadow will fall on the opposite side of the land. Ground winds blow between the gaps of buildings, and if a building is constructed wind flow will change. A human life develops beyond a boundary, for inside the housing to the outside city. Architectural design is to make relationship the site and around. The purpose of this investigation is to pursue possibility of urban space and new architecture by expanding the range that the environment is considered.
