Space, Light and Sound Expressed. My next focus for 2026

A recent visit to Hakone open-air Museum was a reminder of just much time has passed. The fairy chapel that we designed and completed back in 2005 was standing there, witnessing the time. It is older than my youngest daughter, the benjamin, by one year. She turned eleven while this piece of architecture, a limit between sculpture and architecture turns 20 this year.
