山本想太郎さんの著書をネタにトークしました。最後に受験間際の女子校生が「建築家って何が楽しいのですか」と聞いたので答えました。物が生まれるのに立ち会えるから、でも嫌なことはその100倍あると。We talked about Sotaro Yamamoto’s books. Finally, a female high school student who was about to take entrance exams asked us “What’s fun about being an architect?” and we answered. I get to witness the creation of things, but there are 100 times more unpleasant things.
While supervising entrance exams, I remember 45 years ago. I took the Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry English exam. I only took exam to one school, so that night I went out drinking, and from that day on my brain structure changed from technology to liberal arts. Since then, I haven’t had the slightest need for or interest in numerical objects, but I had no problem designing architecture. You can’t design without a sense of technology but maybe that’s enough if you have done entrance exam study?
