赤坂喜顕さん最終講義。赤坂さんのディテールの話し初めて聞きました。立面の緊張感、目地、池原イズム、竹中イズム。6時半から10時半まで4時間の講義でした。Yoshiaki Akasaka’s final lecture. This is the first time I’ve heard of Akasaka-san’s details. Elevation tension, joints, Ikehara-ism, Takenaka-ism. It was a four hour class from 6:30 to 10:30.

去年スイスで行われたnew directions in Japanese Architecture　展覧会のカタログを参加建築家の石村君から頂いた。全体を見て思い出したのは都築響一の『Tokyo Style』。東京ヴァナキュラーへの憧憬である。都築の時、1993年は今から30年前で若者が生み出した東京ヴァナキュラーの発見だった。今回はデザイナーが作り上げた東京ヴァナキュラーの変奏だろう。バブル崩壊後の経済停滞で30年間変わらないなあとも思えるし、いや経済停滞しててもデザインは不滅ですとも見える。
I received the catalog of the New Directions in Japanese Architecture exhibition held in Switzerland last year from Mr. Ishimura, a participating architect. When I saw the whole thing, I remembered Kyoichi Tsuzuki’s “Tokyo Style.” It is an admiration for Tokyo Vernacular. At the time of Tsuzuki, 1993 was the discovery of Tokyo Vernacular, which was created by young people 30 years ago. This time it is a variation of Tokyo Vernacular created by the designer. With the economic stagnation after the collapse of the bubble economy, it looks like things have stayed the same, but it also looks like design has not died yet.

本日朝から夕まで、博士論文の公聴会3本終了。これでこの冬の博論4本の審査を全て終了。副査だからまだいいが、これから2年間に主査を何回やるだろうか？多くて6回？？可能かな？
From morning to evening today, three doctoral dissertation hearings have ended. This concludes the review of all four dissertations for this winter. It’s fine because I’m a sub-judge, but how many times will I be a chief judge in the next two years? Six times at most? ?Would that be possible?
