スペイン王宮コレクションの美術館は入り口からこの巨大スロープを4周して展示室にたどり着く。降りながらETSAM学部長のマニュエル・ブランコは「マドリードは崖だ」とその歴史を語る。崖っぷちに建つ美術館は新たな崖を作る。
At the Spanish Royal Palace Collection Museum, from the entrance you have to go around this huge slope four times to reach the exhibition room. “Madrid is a cliff,” ETSAM dean Manuel Blanco says as we descend speaking about its history. A museum built on the edge of a cliff creates a new cliff.
今回のワークショップの課題はスペインチームに任せた。僕が忙しいこともあったのと、彼らなら何を考えるのかを知りたかったから。彼らのアサインメントは建物のアナリシスであった。最初は何をするのかと思ったが、スペイン学生は慣れたもので素材、形態、コンテクスト、構造、機能、歴史、と淡々と分析していく。彼らの作業には無駄がなく、日本学生が悩んでいる間に最終プレゼンに向けてパワポができていく。僕の指摘も時間と相談しながら取捨選択し最短コースで作り上げる成果品の出来は最終的にはお見事である。スペインのエリートたちなのだろう。スペイン学生は皆最終学年の5年生。日本の学生は1年、2年、3年なので当然のことながら知識もテクニックも違う。加えて、彼らの方が日本の建築のことをよく知っている。最近の日本の学生は本当に何も知らなくて焦る。ラファエル・モネオが来てくれたことの価値を何人が感じていただろうか？？？経済も教育も日本が3流にならないように日本の学生はもとより、教育者ももっともっと世界の状況に敏感でなければならないと思う。
I left the assignment for this workshop to the Spanish team. Partly because I was busy and partly because I wanted to know what they would think. Their assignment was a building analysis. At first I wondered what they were going to do, but the Spanish students were well versed in analyzing materials, form, context, structure, function, history, and so on, without hesitation. There was no waste of time in their work, and while the Japanese students were struggling, the PowerPoint presentation was being prepared for the final presentation. The final product, which they produced in the shortest possible time, was a masterpiece. They must be Spain’s elite. All Spanish students are in the fifth grade of their final year. Japanese students are in their first, second, or third year, so naturally their knowledge and techniques are different. In addition, they know more about Japanese architecture. I am impatient because Japanese students these days really don’t know anything. How many of them would have felt the value of having Rafael Moneo come to the site ? I think that Japanese students as well as educators should be more and more sensitive to the world situation so that Japan does not become a third-rate country in terms of both economy and education.

ワークショップでは５チームが５個の異なる建物を分析する。その一つがラファエル・モネオのバンキンデール。敷地に残る宮殿と近隣の建物にどう敬意を表するか鍵である。ラファエルに現地に来てもらって説明してもらう幸運に恵まれた。87歳だが３０分くらい喋り続けて元気である。高松宮賞の受賞で来日した時以来である。彼へのリスペクトは増していく。
During the workshop, five teams will analyze five different buildings. One of them is Rafael Moneo’s Bankinter. The key is how to show respect to the palace that remains on the site and neighboring buildings. We were fortunate to have Rafael come to the site and explain things to us. Although he is 87 years old, he continues to talk for about 30 minutes and is in good spirits. This is the first time since he came to Japan after winning the Prince Takamatsu Prize. My respect for him is increasing.

どこにいようと仕事は送られる。翻訳本の二校と、建築スタディ本の初校が来た。内容を少し見て直す時間を計算して返信。未だ来る予定の校正が二つある。来ませんようにお祈りする。
Work will be sent to you no matter where you are. The second proofreading of the translated book and the first proofreading of the architecture study book have arrived. Calculate the time it takes to look at the content and revise it before replying. There are still two proofreads scheduled to come. I pray that it doesn’t come.
