Facade

Straight

These pictures were taken in France. I have never seen such long straight line in Tokyo. Tokyo is more complicated city, because it have expanded like a spider web along small branches.

Parc de Bercy

The park is located near the Seine, in an area that was formerly used for shipping storage and canal transport. The park is geometrically divided, offering areas for children, gardeners, and those who would like to walk or do sunbathing.
Elegant bridges join segments of the park that are separated by an avenue. There are areas for sports and an education center. Located in the center of the park is the Palais Omnisports, which is surrounded by grass on all sides and blends in with the landscape.

Long Long Winter

I knew that hours of sunlight affect culture and architecture. However, I have never known how it affect people's mind before coming to the UK. I was feelng depression during winter due to darkness. At the same time I knew the pleasure to expect the coming of spring.

Old and New

The mixture of old and new makes London attractive city. I think British people are good at arranging traditional and contemporary things in their life.

New Environment

When I arrived at Kingston one year ago, everything were new for me such as landscape, material, people, and language ...except I and my suitcase.
