Taku Sakaushi

久々に10人以上の人と対面で4時間会議したら頭くらくらしてきた。「ご苦労様です、終わります」と叫んで部屋を出た。It’s been a while since I had a 4-hour meeting face-to-face with more than 10 people, and I started to feel dizzy. “Thank you for your hard work, it’s over,” I shouted as I left the room.

中公編集部から沖縄タイムズに掲載されましたとメールいただいた。新聞社は教えてくれないからね。I received an email from the Chuko editorial department informing me that my article had been published in the Okinawa Times. Newspapers won’t tell you.

先日クライアントと八ヶ岳美術館に行った。村野藤吾89歳1980年の作品である。村野の建築は一貫して死ぬまで時代に抵抗していた。早稲田建築には常にそういうスピリットがあったのだか最近は口当たりがいい。The other day, I went to the Yatsugatake Art Museum with clients. Murano Togo 89 years old 1980 work. Murano’s architecture consistently resisted his time until his death. Waseda Architecture has always had that kind of spirit, but lately it has become milder.

友人に勧められて坂本龍一の最後の本を読んでみた。病との格闘に壮絶なものを感じたが、私は『音楽が自由にする』の方が伝わることが多かった。しかし彼が山田洋次の「母と暮らせば」のために作った音楽は凡庸なもので西洋音楽で言えばシューベルトだと書いていたことに建築と通ずる表現者の気持ちを感じた。建築だけではないだろう。凡庸に作ることの意味や難しさというものはきっとさまざまな分野にあることだ。At the recommendation of a friend, I read Ryuichi Sakamoto’s last book. Although I felt his struggle with his final illness was fierce, I found “Music Sets Me Free” more effective. However, in this book, he wrote that his music for director Yoji Yamada’s “Living with Mother” was mediocre. Regarding Western music, it would be Schubert, which shows the feelings of an artist who shares architecture. Felt. It’s not just architecture—the meaning and difficulty of creating something mediocre in various fields.

使いやすいこのキッチンともしばしの別れ。Farewell to this easy-to-use kitchen for a while.

今日から東京。千日紅はドライフラワーになるよと教えられたので吊るして帰ろうNow get ready to go Tokyo. I was told that Sennichikou will become a dried flower, so let’s hang them and go home.
