What does architecture mean to you and what is the role of an architect in your society?

It is not only about building structures, walls, floors and roofs, but also about what happens between the people living in the spaces.

Why do you participate in architecture competitions?

We don’t do a lot of competitions. This Birdhome competition is actually the only one we have done in the past two years. We have applied for a very specific reason: one of the founder of Cutwork (Antonin Yuji Maeno) is a bird watcher since he is 8 years old, and has always dreamt of designing a bird home; this was the occasion!
