佐藤直巳さんにメタバースの建築家が現れるかもねと驚かされて少し勉強してみた。現実はお金がかかるし、人付き合いは面倒だし、重力はあるし、もっと簡単に自由を手に入れたい人はこっちの世界にいくのだろうなと思った。僕も生活の一部はこっちの世界に移せれば、楽だなと思う部分もある。
I was surprised that a Metaverse architect might appear hearing Mr. Naomi Sato@s saying so, then I studied a little. The reality is that it costs money, socializing is a hassle, there is gravity, and I wondered if anyone who wants to get freedom more easily would go to this world. I also find it easier if I can move a part of my life to this world.

余程の理由がない限り、設計しない人と建築の話はしない。歴史や理論や構法や材料はそれぞれに楽しいトピックだけど、建築はそれらを統合した結果でしかない。結果は理屈じゃできない。クライアントと施工者とのもがきの末に生まれる。この苦しみが建築なので、これ抜きに建築の話をしてもそれは虚しい。
Unless there’s enough reason I won’t talk about architecture with people who don’t design. History, theory, construction and materials are fun topics, but architecture is only the result. The result cannot be logical. It is born after the struggle between the client and the builder. Since this suffering is architecture, it is too empty to talk about architecture without it.

ノームコアの人は別だが、気分に合った服を着た日は気持ちいい。そんな些細なことほど小説になると楽しい。Except for Normcore people, it feels good to wear clothes that suit your mood. It’s fun to be a novel about such a trivial matter.

上の世代のリーダーは周囲をオルグ(自らの党派に引きずり込む)した。しかし現代はこの手のリーダーは通用しない。周囲を引きこむのではなく、惹きつける資質が求められる。それはおそらく人格の問題とそこから滲み出る言葉の質だと思う。自戒の念も込めて、、上に立つ人の言葉に魅力がないのは悲しいこと。

The leaders of the older generation orged around (pulled into their party). However, in modern times, this kind of leader does not work. Qualities that attract people are required rather than pulling others into their group. I think it’s probably a matter of personality and the quality of the words that ooze out of it. I think that the words of the people who stand above are unattractive, with a sense of self-discipline.

親父の本棚には新書が数百冊あった。気になるタイトルをカバンの片隅に入るだけいただいた。中公新書WASPは旧友松室氏の編集だった。
There were hundreds of Shinsho books on my father’s bookshelf. I just selected the title I was interested in and put them in the corner of the bag. The book titled WASP was edited by Mr. Matsumuro, an old friend.

若干２９歳でこういう文章書くのかと驚いた。鷲田清一の臨床哲学というのは和辻哲郎に通ずる日本語による哲学の作り直しなんだなということがわかった。一方その対極にいるのが戸坂潤に端を発するインターナショナル派。現代で言えば柄谷行人。哲学を引き込みから惹きつけるものにすること。オルガナイザーからエッセイストへというベクトルには少し興味が沸いた。
At the age of 29, I was surprised to write such a sentence. It turned out that Kiyokazu Washida’s clinical philosophy is a remake of the philosophy in Japanese that is familiar to Tetsuro Watsuji. On the other hand, at the other end of the spectrum is the international school, which originated from Jun Tosaka. In modern times, Kojin Karatani. To change the philosophy from pulling to attraction. I was a little interested in the vector from organizer to essayist.
