Quotes: 

"So it comes as a surprise to learn that this structural alchemist and defier of physics is now erecting substantial structures around the world.."
"He’s surrounded by fragments from his fairytale worlds.. "
"Children, and how they see the world, are a constant inspiration to Ishigami, in his mission to free himself from preconceived notions. "

"Ishigami has come the closest to weightlessness yet."

Theory

For humans, to capture movement we have to understand that there is an element of weightlessness to it; that is, we're limited only by our preconceived notions. Architects must take on a role as an alchemist, extracting fragments from both fantasy and scientific principles to not only capture, but create movement.
