"When slowly opening, the hollow splits and a broad hole is produced. When the split reaches its full extent, nonetheless, the hole again disappears and the original hollow folds back on itself, like a glove turned inside out. Now it looks like a thinly shaved flake. A folding screen. Not the conventional folding screen that distributes space, but one that sucks space inward, or rather, inspires space and expires it." _Hiroshi Nakao, 1998
"Architecture must now immediately abandon its mythical function of protecting the interior from the exterior and seek rather, through its original function as edge, to protect the exterior from the interior."_Hiroshi Nakao, 1998
