Osamuの著書City for everyoneの翻訳初校が来た。内容よりグラフィックが気になるね。
The first translation of Osamu’s book City for everyone has arrived. I’m more interested in the graphics than the content.

朝頑張って机の上から物をどかし書類を半分捨てて。家庭内ノマドしない宣言。I worked hard this morning to move things off my desk and throw away half of my documents. Declaration not to become a domestic nomad.

中園孔ニは26才でおそらく瀬戸内海で溺死した天才画家。その個展の会場構成をした大石雅之事務所で担当したOGのIさんがカタログをくれた。会場構成もいいし、絵は驚く。こんな展覧会なら丸亀に行きたかった。Kouji Nakazono was a genius painter who probably drowned in the Seto Inland Sea at the age of 26. Ms. I, an OG who was in charge of Masayuki Oishi’s office, who arranged the venue for the solo exhibition, gave me a catalog. The layout of the venue is nice and the pictures are amazing. I went go to Marugame for an exhibition if I had known it.

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.
