Truth

Within the architectural space， the

portion of light can be said to be an

intellectual construction， which the

dark shadowy portion，or wall，could

be said to be motherly love which

supports and embraces the light，I have

been wanting to produce such a space

in which the subtle and changeable

Japanese sun light， affected by the

rustling wind and floating clouds and

the scent of flowers，comes from

outside，penetrating the glass and then

reflecting against the floor and rising

and boiling in a ferment，forming itself

in an embracing space within the

architecture. The space thus formed，is

a cathedral， fitted for those young

students who sincerely and earnestly

seek for the truth.

“I am the way，and the truth，and the

life.”

［John 14: 6］
