Practice Ideology
JYA pursues one ‘direction point as an architectural group’ rather than one ‘architectural orientation point’. Through this, the architect hopes that various perspectives and differences will always be attempted, and he will seek interesting possibilities of architecture from them. I believe that architecture should be “interesting” to both those who make and to those who use it. At the same time, I would like to pay attention to the “basic of architecture” that architecture should begin with ideas to satisfy the various physical, social, and functional needs in place.
