何故書く
とある建築家に「坂牛さんの篠原モノグラフは楽しみ。是非坂牛さんの言葉で書いてください」と言われた。でも次に「坂牛さんみたいな建築家が何故人のことを書くんですか」と言われた。
なんでだろう？
表向きの理由は、この人の衰えない世界的な影響力の源を知りたいから。
裏の理由は書くのが好きだから。
書きたい人は未だ沢山いる。スタイルが変わる人を描きたい。伊東豊雄は軽さと重さを行き来していて面白い。A certain architect told me, “I’m looking forward to Sakaushi-san’s Shinohara monograph. Please write it in Sakaushi-san’s words.” But then he asked me, “Why does an architect like Mr. Sakaushi write about other people?”
I asked myself Why?
The ostensible reason is that I want to know the source of this man’s undiminished global influence.
The reason behind it is because I love writing.
There are still many people whom want to write about. I want to be attracted by people whose styles change. Toyo Ito is interesting as he goes back and forth between lightness and heaviness.
