“Architecture has to follow the diversity of society, and has to reflect that a simple square or cube can’t contain that diversity.”

Remodeling Interior Design
"I compared man to tarzan.
tarzan in the jungle creates his body and develops it in contact with nature,
in relation to the surrounding environment.
modern man is a sort of tarzan who lives in the world of media,
within a very developed technology.
architecture should be a sort of media-clothing,
which is necessary in order for man to have a relationship
with and integrate himself into the environment.
the idea of media-clothing is a metaphor."
Toyo Ito
