"The geometrical forms of concrete are emphatically man-made and underline by contrast their natural environment." "GA", 1987
"Sebbene la pianta dell'edificio sia simmetrica, la topografia irregolare del rilievo consente molte variazioni nella configurazione delle venti unitā abitative, progettata su una griglia di di 5,4x4,8 m." P. Jodido, 2015
"The site is at the foot of Mt. Rokko in Kobe and is a south-facing, 60°-degree slope. In order to blend the building with the verdant environment, I decided to keep it low and, adapting it to the slope, to insert the building into the hillside." "GA", 1987
