Interview: Tools for Understanding

摘要

Tomoko Sakamoto (Sakamoto): Mr. Suzuki told me that when he visited you with the editors of El Croquis in May, 2011, he was very impressed to see a full-scale mock-up of the House on Kankeshwar Hill. He very well remember that you would go inside the mock-up with clients or carpenters to see, touch and feel many things there. You were making changes to the design on site by moving walls, to make it wider, narrower, taller or lower. And, from inside of the model, you could see the trees or mountain afar and understand the view right there. Would you tell me how you became to make the full-scale models?
