Senior Project Leader

Mahito Hori

With the proliferation of the Internet, we are given the illusion that we can get any information about anything anywhere in the world. In reality, however, we cannot even picture a place just a few kilometers away, let alone other communities in our own country where differences in details certainly exist in the ways people speak and live their lives. We live in an environment full of cultural and biological diversity. Landscape design is about carefully interpreting the geographical and historical background of the project site to create a new microcosm. I try to leave extra space for growth and aging for the elements that will mature and transform over time.
