昨日の講義のテーマは肌理。階段を歩いて上りながら、コンクリートの肌理のサンプルのような壁と天井を写真に納め、最初に見せた。The theme of yesterday’s lecture was texture. As I walked up the stairs, I took pictures of the walls and ceiling, which looked like samples of concrete texture, and showed them first.

現場を見てる坂牛研卒の高野と近くのカントリーキッチンでランチ。断熱材ネオマ100mmで建物全周魔法瓶のように包む。ネオマはスタイロの1.5倍くらい断熱性能が高い。きな粉を固めたような塊。Lunch at a nearby country kitchen with Takano, a graduate of Sakaushi Lab, who is in charge of the construction. The building is wrapped like a thermos flask with 100mm Neoma thermal insulation. Neoma has 1.5 times higher insulation performance than Styro. A lump like solidified soybean flour.

昨日神楽坂では猫祭りをやっていた。皆猫に仮装していた。最近始まったのかと思いきや、コロナで中止だったそうだ。There was a cat festival in Kagurazaka yesterday. They were all dressed up as cats. I thought it started recently, but it seems that it was canceled due to Corona.

ロールズの正義論を知りたく新書本を読んでみた。建築は正義なのかと考えてみたり、建築家は正義なのかと思ってみたり、でもどうもそう言うことのようでそうでもない。I read a book to know Rawls’ theory of justice. I wonder if architecture is justice, or if architects are justice, but it seems like that’s not the case.

故平田哲朗の個展を3331で見る。ppバンドの直径3センチくらいの輪を数万個作りこういうものが生まれた。気が遠くなるような制作への執念にただただ驚く。Saw the solo exhibition of the late Tetsuro Hirata at 3331. This kind of thing was born by making tens of thousands of PP band rings with a diameter of about 3 cm. I am simply amazed at the obsession with production that makes me dizzy.

デザインによって人間は生残るとして、アメリカで環境に目を配った初期の本と言われる。ノイトラ1954年の書。ここでも技術は道具に過ぎないと記されている。It is said to be one of the first books in the United States to pay attention to the environment, assuming that human beings survive through design. Neutra wrote it in 1954 . Here, too, technology is described as nothing more than a tool.
