Arper - The mission:
Is an object as elemental as a chair or a table still subject to insight or innovation? After eons of development is there still something to be done? We say: Absolutely. Everything is in flux – life, culture, technology – and that basic fact demands a considered response. Good design is a synthesis of technique, cost, material, function, use, taste and sustainability. That concentration of meanings, associations and possibilities, must reside in simple, singular forms. We believe the best objects carry a rich, intellectual density in a shape that seems natural, effortless. An object that feels spontaneous while clearly the result of rigor and precision. Creating new forms that are physically and stylistically resilient is hard work, but this is the work we embrace. That way of thinking and working – the pursuit of the essential – extends to everything we do.

Stairway to Heaven
Suppose Design Office (Japan)
The mission:
Makoto Tanijiri thinks that it is important to keep looking for something new as an architect.
He defined his work as a chance to realize fresh ideas about buildings and relationships of all interactive elements. It is a pleasure for Tanijiri to detect new potential of architecture.
The possibility could be recognized only in a situation facing to himself with mind of equivalency to all buildings in different scale and cost, such as a dog houses and skyscrapers.
The architect sometimes feels that society is dismissive of accepting modern ideas, and that is why, he wants to explore something new but also familiar to human life.
For example, people would appreciate an apple just falling off a tree more than the one in pink or purple, which is never seen before.
Tanijiri believes that he could find the answer in daily life with having fresh eyes judging from different perspectives.
The architect never doubt that a reason people always want "new" is because they have a strong desire of making better environment without being satisfied the present condition.
With the aspiration to enhance the human environment, Makoto Tanijiri is contributing
"new architecture" in seeking its answers to ordinary life.
