誰かの主張の逆を言うことを逆張りという。小林秀雄や吉本隆明はマルクス主義の逆張り、昨今の新実在論も逆張りだと千葉雅也は言う。建築で言えば、ポストモダニズムはモダニズムの、隈研吾はオブジェクト建築の、そして篠原一男は近代合理主義の逆張りを自らの主軸においた。橋爪大三郎は良い本とは逆張りでありそのための下敷きとなっている書があるものだと言う。同様に建築も、その建築の戦う相手が見えている方が分かりやすい。分かりやすい建築がいい建築なのかというとそれはいつでもそうだとは限らないのだが。Saying the opposite of someone else’s claim is called contrarianism. Hideo Kobayashi and Takaaki Yoshimoto are contrarians to Marxism, and Masaya Chiba says that the recent new realism is also contrarian. In architecture, postmodernism is modernism, Kengo Kuma is object architecture, and Kazuo Shinohara is the opposite of modern rationalism. Daizaburo Hashizume says that a good book is contrarian and has books that serve as the foundation for that. Similarly, architecture is easier to understand when you can see the opponent it is competing against. However, it is only sometimes the case that easy-to-understand architecture is sound.

安田さんが改修した林雅子さんの遺作を見せていただいた。45度振った雅子さん特有なプランがこの建物の骨格であることは言うまでもないが、それを支える構造（今川さん）とディテールがなければこの建築は生まれていない。Mr. Yasuda showed us the posthumous work of Architect Masako Hayashi, which Mr. Yasuda had renovated. It goes without saying that Masako’s unique 45-degree rotated plan is the backbone of this building, but without the supporting structure (Imagawa) and details, this architecture would not have been possible.

もう一冊読んだ。わたしを生きろ、違うことをするなと言う教えが書かれている。僕はわりとそうやって生きてきた、日本国とか、出身大学とか、職場とか、業界とか、先輩とか、後輩とか、ご近所さんとか、親とか、兄とか、配偶者とか、子供とか、その他私と関係する全てのものから自由でいたいと思ってきたし、これからもそうだと思う。I read another book. The teachings are written to live as I am and not to do anything different. That’s how I’ve lived my life, with Japan, my alma mater, my workplace, my industry, my seniors, my juniors, my neighbors, my parents, my older brother, my spouse, my children, and so on. I have always wanted to be free from everything that has to do with me, and I think I will continue to do so.

天気がいいので、かもめブックスのテラスで買った本を一冊読んだ。再読しろという。しかも自分に合った本を。そして合った本に出会うには多量に読めと言う。Since the weather was nice, I read a book I bought on the terrace of Kamome Books. The author tells us to read a book again. And a book that suits you. He also says that you need to read a lot to find the right book.

ギターの先生と平均律の話しをしていたら手塚治虫の『ルードイツヒB』を読めと貸してくれた。Bはベートーヴェンのこと。平均律は16世紀後半に生まれた。バッハが確立しベートーヴェンは小さい頃バッハの平均律の曲が大好きだった。五線譜に音を一義的に表記するための音楽の規格化だ。その頃顕微鏡が生まれ、デカルトが現れ世界は科学に向かいモダニズムへと繋がる。平均律は音楽のモダニズムへの第一歩だった。When I was talking about equal temperament with my guitar teacher, he lent me Osamu Tezuka’s “Luderich B” to read. B is for Beethoven. Equal temperament was born in the late 16th century. Bach established it, and Beethoven loved Bach’s Well-Tempered pieces when he was a child. It is a standardization of music to uniquely represent sounds on staff notation. Around that time, the microscope was born, Descartes appeared, and the world turned toward science, leading to modernism. Equal temperament was the first step towards modernism in music.

白澤先輩は多木浩二自邸の設計者。通称銀舎と呼ばれるこの家の内装はアルミ。篠原研の流儀で研究室内コンペを行いクライアントの反応を見て先生がファイナル案を作るのだが、この時は先生から案が出なかった。写真は多木さん自ら撮ったもの。Me. Shirasawa was the designer of Koji Taki’s own residence. The interior of this house, commonly known as Ginsha, is made of aluminum. In Shinohara Lab’s style, they hold a competition within the laboratory and the professor creates a final proposal based on the client’s reaction, but this time the professor did not come up with a proposal. This is a photo of his home taken by himself.
