キノコ

民家はキノコだと言った篠原一男の真意はいい民家はいい風土文化から自然に生まれる。その様はキノコのようだという意味。だからそこに建築家の学びはないと考えたのだ。しかし結構学ぶことはある。まず群生。キノコに限らないが魚も動物も草木もついでに人も群れをなす。そしてキノコの群れは大きさがいい。大き過ぎず可愛らしい。そしてランダム性。同じものが一つとしてない。現代建築の手本になる。Kazuo Shinohara’s true meaning when he said that MINKA houses are mushrooms is that good Minka houses naturally arise from a good climate and culture. It means that it looks like a mushroom. That’s why he thought there was nothing an architect could learn from that. But there’s a lot to learn. First, clumps. Not only mushrooms, but also fish, animals, plants, and even people gather together. And the mushroom clusters are nice in size. Cute and not too big. And randomness. No two are the same. It becomes a model for modern architecture.
