スイスの展覧会
去年スイスで行われたnew directions in Japanese Architecture 展覧会のカタログを参加建築家の石村君から頂いた。全体を見て思い出したのは都築響一の『Tokyo Style』。東京ヴァナキュラーへの憧憬である。都築の時、1993年は今から30年前で若者が生み出した東京ヴァナキュラーの発見だった。今回はデザイナーが作り上げた東京ヴァナキュラーの変奏だろう。バブル崩壊後の経済停滞で30年間変わらないなあとも思えるし、いや経済停滞しててもデザインは不滅ですとも見える。
I received the catalog of the New Directions in Japanese Architecture exhibition held in Switzerland last year from Mr. Ishimura, a participating architect. When I saw the whole thing, I remembered Kyoichi Tsuzuki’s “Tokyo Style.” It is an admiration for Tokyo Vernacular. At the time of Tsuzuki, 1993 was the discovery of Tokyo Vernacular, which was created by young people 30 years ago. This time it is a variation of Tokyo Vernacular created by the designer. With the economic stagnation after the collapse of the bubble economy, it looks like things have stayed the same, but it also looks like design has not died yet.
論文審査
本日朝から夕まで、博士論文の公聴会3本終了。これでこの冬の博論4本の審査を全て終了。副査だからまだいいが、これから2年間に主査を何回やるだろうか?多くて6回??可能かな?
From morning to evening today, three doctoral dissertation hearings have ended. This concludes the review of all four dissertations for this winter. It’s fine because I’m a sub-judge, but how many times will I be a chief judge in the next two years? Six times at most? ?Would that be possible?
近代天皇制
最近中国共産党建築の成立過程を分析した本を読んでいる。建築が政治に使われるあり様に興味がある。一方長谷川香さんの天皇制と儀礼空間を読むと上屋はテンポラリー、むしろ場所の象徴性を感じ取る日本人が描かれる。日本は中国から建築を輸入したがその後だいぶ違う道を歩んできた。空気を読む国民性のDNAはこうした制度によって醸造されてきたのかもしれない。Recently, I have been reading a book that analyzes the formation process of the Chinese Communist Party architecture. I am interested in how architecture is used in politics. When reading Kaoru Hasegawa’s emperor system and ceremonial spaces, the sheds are temporary, and Japanese people who feel the symbolism of the place are drawn. The national DNA of reading the atmosphere may have been brewed by such a system.
