I was greatly inspired by this new encounter.

I was greatly inspired by this new encounter.
This morning I exchanged opinions with Mr. Kato, the CEO of Houzz in Shibuya.

People in the housing industry have suddenly started appearing in the media in the past few months.
I'm sure many of you already know this.
When I gave a lecture at the Big Sight last month, the time schedule before my lecture was
It all started when I met him at a lecture there.
I think that many people in the construction industry know about Mr. Kato.
It was the first time I had met someone who had worked at Goldman Sachs before entering the construction industry.
I met Mr. Fujimori the other day, who was a vice president of GE and became the president of LIXIL. He seems to be the most similar.
Maybe
Goldman is well known as the company that the most talented students in the world want to work for.
That is exactly right. Even when we exchange opinions, it feels like one word is fully understood.
I was able to spend a very fulfilling time. As someone with a long history of living in Europe and America, I was able to learn a lot about Japanese housing.
He knew more about poverty than I did. But he's not an expert.
Of course, I don't know why that is, so I've only explained it briefly here.
Although it has only been six months since its establishment, the number of architects registered has already exceeded 2,000, and a female president of a venture company
It has even been featured in the Vogue magazine. The explosive power of Goldman Sachs' startup is incredible.
That's something that can't be replicated anywhere else. There's a sense of speed. We're going to do a lot of things together from now on.
However, this has become an opportunity for many architects to understand the importance of indoor environments.
I hope that this will be the case.
In the afternoon, a joint lecture was held by TOTO, DAIKEN, and YKKAP near Shinjuku Station.
However, no matter how many times I go to Shinjuku and Shibuya, I always get lost... There are just too many people. And
It's hard to get a sense of direction... Being from the Kansai region, it may be a real problem for me.
After that, I moved to Tokyo Station and started working on the design of the headquarters building for a Tokyo builder.
The meeting was held at the Station Hotel Lounge next to Tokyo Station.
It was a very pleasant atmosphere and we were able to have a relaxed meeting.
So now I'm on the Shinkansen heading home. Today was another truly fulfilling day.
