The rugby super league stadium roof is beautiful. I would like to design it, but if someone does not order it, there is no chance like that for the rest of my life. There is probably no architect in the world who can make what you want to make. Even Frank O. Gary once sold in the Gunyagnya style, could not do other designs. However, this is inevitable in order to earn money and live. My father taught me not to do things I don’t want to do, but I must accept that I can’t do what I want to do.
Diego recommended Hans van der Laan’s Architectonic Space, which was 40,000yen on Amazon. I thought I would not, but Diego told me about a cheap foreign used bookstore. I asked for it, and it arrived today. I was surprised when I looked inside. There is not a single photo in the book. It’s a perfect theory book. The index is as follows.
1. Nature and Architecture
2. space, form and size
3. Inside and Outside
4. Solid and Void
5. Line, Plane, and Volume
6. Threefold Function
7. Ground-Ratio
8. Measurement-systems
9. Symmetry.
10, Eurythmy.
11. Disposition of the wall
12. Disposition of the house
13. Disposition of the Town
14. Threefold Expression
15. Example.
“There is no clock in the underground alpha space,” the spouse says. No such thing. There is a golden clock on the shelf of her desk. She thinks she’s broken We bought the clock in the Antique Market in Vienna. It’s a clockwork, it just works. So I ordered myself the person who turns the mainspring every morning.
What was the founding cause of architecture in yesterday’s doctoral seminar? We assumed that there are two main types of physical and social properties and that we can divide social features into economic, legal, and political items. Adrian Forty also devotes chapter 5 of his book on concrete to politics. The other day there was a competition for a public restroom in Kumamoto Art Police. Mr. Sagawa, a former staff member of OFDA, won an honorable mention for his closed design with CLT, but an open and elegant design defeated him. As I looked at the result, I realized that it is difficult to achieve political correctness in a closed space nowadays. Architecture, after all, is very much a political issue.
When I opened the exhibition catalog and found that Futoshi Hoshino, a student of mine at Tokyo University, wrote one of the articles, Doig paints a picture of homely: mediocre. But that ordinariness: homely, he says, suddenly turns into unhomely: disturbing. It is in the heim (house) contained in unheimlich that the uncanny appears, as Freud’s famous article “Unheimlich” shows. This world of Doig’s work is the same as that of Anthony Vidler’s “Uncanny Architecture.” Furthermore, it is similar to the way Kazuo Shinohara reverses the ordinary to create something extraordinary.
Mr. Hoshino’s remarks have connected many things for me.
This week’s one-hour design is while taking into the consideration the composition of a four-story tower + cube of Tadao Ando’s seaside house, Design something using the same volume + something in a different location.
