箱建築

最初に幾何学を置いて機能を詰め込んだ建築に対して機能を組み合わせたら形が生まれる建築がある。僕は前者を箱建築、後者を袋建築と呼ぶ。そして大体僕の設計は袋だが、広い敷地に来ると箱にしてみたくなる。パラディオのビラにしても篠原一男の直方体の森にしても敷地が広大なのである。広いと周りからの制約がなくなり自由になる。逆によりどころを失い幾何学に頼るのである。

There is an architecture in which a shape is created by combining functions with an architecture and there is another type of architecture which is packed with functions by first placing geometry. I call the former sac architecture and the latter box architecture. And although my design is usually a sac, when I come to a large site, I want to make it into a box. Whether it’s a villa by Palladio or a rectangular parallelepiped forest of Kazuo Shinohara, the site is vast. If it is wide, there will be no restrictions from the surroundings and it will be free. On the contrary, it loses its place and relies on geometry.
