Akiyoshi: “The same may be true for other hardware startups. But even in the case of the automobile industry, what used to be a story of maintaining a factory line can now be done with 3D printers and short circuits, and I think the same is true of architecture. Architecture, in particular, uses wood, not steel or resin like automobiles. Two-thirds of Japan’s land area is forested, so there should be a great affinity with decentralized construction in terms of procuring and building with what is available nearby. I felt that if we could apply the seeds of business to this, architecture would return to its original ideal state. I had that intuition.”
