はじめに
'LENGA910'というアイデンティティ・ネームは、欧州建築によく見る材料である「煉瓦」と、和空間の象徴でもある「畳」の幅である「910mm」（3尺）の組み合わせにより生まれました。
[メソポタミア文明時代から]長い間、様々な建築様式に使用され続けて来た煉瓦は、これからも技術の発展により新しい使われ方をして行くであろう、非常にプログレッシブ且つたくさんの可能性を秘めた、個人的にはすごく愛着が深い材料の一つ。
煉瓦と畳、2つの異なる文化から成り立つ名前には、洋と和が入り交じるハイブリッドな生活を歩んで来た自分自身を関連付ける一方、これからいちデザイナー／建築家として、多文化／多分野なビジョンを持つアイデアの提案を心がけ、'LENGA910'ならではのデザイン理論を育てて行けたらなという想いも込めています。

The beginning...
'LENGA910' simply combines two words that have symbolic reference to my interests and disciplines.
'Lenga' means 'bricks' in Japanese and signifies my appreciation in this material and its associated characters.
They are traditional building material with rich historical context but are also 'progressive' in a sense that bricks can/will still be developed in many other ways in the future - it is a material full of potential and sophistication.
Living in Europe for the majority of my life have given me opportunities to experience many faces/expressions of masonry construction and I have grown to become fascinated with the infinite possibilities on how we, as architects/designers, may evolve their significance in the field of architecture and spatial design.
'910' on the other hand refers to a metric dimension of a tatami mat (typical tatami = 910x1820mm).
Tatami mats and their configuration have significant importance in the history of Japanese architecture/dwelling, and many spatial designs still base their layout on these ratios.
Being a designer with hybrid backgrounds (Japanese and European culture), it seems appropriate these two words come into contact to form an identity-name for my future works.
My immediate aspiration is to make LENGA910 become my vehicle/tool that generates work with multi-disciplinary vision, which would hopefully start triggering opportunities for new encounters and exciting collaborations.
