With a namahage, the ogre of my home region, Akita. / 故郷・秋田のなまはげと
An architect who has built on bedrock, reading what AI dreams.
In 1990 a single CG perspective took me a week. I spent the 1990s at Itsuko Hasegawa's studio, then designed about a hundred houses of my own, many of them on cliffs, slopes and odd-shaped plots that house builders had turned down. In 2024 I stopped taking commissions. Now an AI draws a building in thirty seconds, and I read what it draws as an architect.
