I’m creating all kinds of spaces; residences, shops, offices, and recently I’ve been asked
at times to create space for advertising.
My work, no matter what I design, is often critiqued by others around me as being
very architectural in approach, but I am not sure what that “architectural approach”
means. What I’m conscious of is very simple – to think without stereotyping and avoid
being captivated by the thought “this type of thing ought to be this way”
Although it’s naturally not so easy to escape from what I’ve seen and heard to date, I
try to think carefully and concretely about each of the countless points and link them
together without cutting short the thinking process. It is my hope that this process
will lead me to create a free and refreshing space that liberates us from what has been
taken for granted until that time.
At the same time I’m aware of how difficult it is to build a relationship with society to
realize such spaces. A major task, as a planner, is how to present the possibilities of
the forms that exist there, how to incorporate the “otherness” that opposes them,
and what kind of values should be shared in that process.

About 60 shop designs, which are from the best designers abroad, are included in this book. The unique design styles bring each space enough aesthetics and charm, and when you enjoy the sense of sight, you will find that display models and styles, which are created by different colors, materials, lights and texture designs, are very expressive. They are essential for you no matter who you are, retailers, designers for interior space, or designers for exhibition, display or campaign.
