Ryue Nishizawa: shizawa: Historically, architects must relate to aspects of the surroundings, but that has always focused on real things such as material or shape. I think that today, almost half of our daily life is occupied by information society, and although information society is invisible, I think that architecture must have some sort of relationship with such a society. And I don't know what type of answer there might be, but I think that there must be some intersecting possibilities for change. I: Is there a relationship between the information society and the idea of thinness? Kazuyo Kazuyo Sejima Sejima:: Yes Yes there t here is, is, bu b ut I don't don't know know exact exact ly how. how.
