00:00To make architecture is to make war.
00:06The only difference is that in architecture, there is no victory.
00:11Victory should satisfy you, but buildings rarely do.
00:16I've never been satisfied with what I've built.
00:21You can't fight a war on your own.
00:27You can't build a building on your own.
00:31So I demand psychological and physical strength from each member of my team.
00:37And I demand the same thing of myself.
00:45In order to build great buildings all over Japan, we are constantly fighting these wars.
00:51More than just functioning as a small group of office workers,
00:55we act as a small group of guerrillas.
01:00The difference between my architecture and Western architecture lies in the understanding of nature.
01:06We Japanese accept nature and live in harmony with it.
01:10Western people try to protect themselves from nature.
01:14In my mid-thirties, I first began to think of the possibility of creating an international architecture
01:20that could only be conceived by someone Japanese.
01:24One is to open real-world technology.
01:25The most important thing is that it has all been introduced to me.
01:27And it's like a good way to keepaying a lot of people from nature to the world.
01:28It was the most essential.
01:31A great thing is that a lot merriθう as a world-class basis.
01:32It's a new culture that has been revealed.
01:33It's a new culture that I have developed.
01:34It's a new culture that has been developed by a world-class competition from our world.
01:36Everyone ranks over the world.
01:37It's my country that it's been displayed as a world-class-classism.
01:39It's been a new culture that it's been developed out of nature in the world,
01:41It's been developed by a world-classistic.
01:42It's been developed by a world-classism.
01:43It's been a new culture that has been developed for me.
