Today’s one-hour design is Venturi’s mother’s house. The plan for this house is still dull. The challenge is to make it more contradictory like a Venturi. Honda of Nikken also participated in the judge today. Indeed, this method can increase the number of judges.
The scaffolding was taken and the office space of the center building appeared. The ridge with a rectangular slope was placed flat and the light was put in. There is a staircase in the wall slit, and the pool on the second floor becomes a book space. The structure of this roof shall be revealed.
There was a case where Mr. Sakamoto hid the structure of the roof of his house with a finish and Mr. Kanebako was disappointed. When I asked him why he hid it the other day, he said that he didn’t want to express the structure, and that you could imagine that it had the proper structure because it was a large space.
I’ll show the structure here. I want the roof to look like an umbrella supported by the square mass in the middle.
I missed Mario Botta after reading Mr. Furuya’s book. I decided to go to Basel, Switzerland through IAESTE and I visited Tadao Ando for information on Botta, which was still scarce in Japan at that time. Unfortunately, Mr. Ando was out and his wife politely showed me a map of Botta’s work. I wrote it down, and one weekend when I was working in Basel, I borrowed a high-end camera and motor bike from my boss at work and took them south on the train. More than 10 botta works were captured in the camera. After returning to Japan, SD bought the negative for hundreds of thousands. Thank you.
Mr. Furuya’s shuffled is a book that explains all the key concepts on Mr. Furuya’s website. The beginning: one of the key concept is interesting. Architecture is about creating an opportunity for something to happen. I think that the idea was most apparent in the Mediatheque competition proposal and the Anpanman Museum.Although I haven’t seen it I love it.
In the morning, rice and cake arrived. Rice is Fukui’s Koshihikari rice. Many people misunderstand that Koshihikari was born in Niigata, but it’s Fukui rice. Furthermore, the Koshihikari sold in Tokyo seems to be a mixture, and pure Koshihikari is seldom available. The other is a cake from the Imperial Hotel. Every year Nikken Sekkei Inc. gives a box of cakes to former employees who meet specific criteria. Thank you so much !!
A recent interview with Tadao Ando was distributed online. He sits in a red chair in the middle of a big room and talks.
Mr. Ando does not change what he says and makes. There is a type of architect who does not review the principle. On the other hand, there is a sense of security that he will say what we wants him to say. There is joy that he will do what we expect like Mito Komon. More or less architects continue to do the same. That’s why Mr. Ando is not special, but rather an architect like Kazuo Shinohara whose style changes four times.
I walked around Odaiba with six third-year students and an assistant. It was the first time in half a year that I had a face-to-face conversation with students, and while the zoom is good, it’s also good. The subject of this talk was to think about the alternatives to the Rinkai sub-center city. Particularly in terms of scale and liveliness. According to the Tokyo Metropolitan Government’s guidelines, the sub-center scale is to be enlarged to increase the degree of freedom in planning. The goal is to create a walkable town with a symbolic promenade, But when I first walked this street from beginning to end, I realized how boring it is, a vast greenway. It is so dull because the surrounding architecture is not committed to this promenade at all. There are many reasons for this, but it is a cold city. What can the students feel and propose?
