“model research of the ultimate transparency, the boundary line between existence and non-existence”

by junya ishigami

people think my designs look like art, or products, but it is architecture I want to make. if they saw my works after they were completed, they would probably talk about transparency and lightness and other things that I like to create. all my projects are made from an architectural point of view. but if I were talking with some of my good friends, they would probably not mention those things because they know that that is what I work with. it would be more about the basics and the 
fundamentals of creating new things, and how to create new things, new challenges. changing scales means changing the atmosphere - scale and proportion can make a space.

so for the general public, it would probably be, yeah, words like transparency and nature, but with my good friends, it would be one step before that — on how to create new things.
