Design Philosophy
- Architecture as "DEVICE":
"DEVICE" is vacant (not "not being", not "nothing") in itself. But the moment there is an input, it responds.
- Our architecture principally aligns to "time".
- We calculate proportions between "space" and "communication".
- In spite of "DEVICE" being primarily weak, our intent is to make its architectural expression brutally strong and simple.
Describing "our philosophical thoughts" is difficult.
What I mentioned above are our main thoughts of "today". But they may change completely tommorow.
Creation always happens with sudden changes.
