• “Skin and outer surface are
different. Concrete has an outer surface, but not skin. On top
of that, I don’t find concrete to be particularly attractive. That’s because without skin, the soul
within never appears. Bamboo has particularly beautiful skin. And,
bamboo has a soul residing within... I believe that structures and
buildings must also have a skin, not just an outer surface. That’s because without it, there
would be no place for the soul of the structure to reside within. The
skin is not just the outside of something; it is a living organ.”
