設計者に求められる能力と聞かれて、朝から晩まで芝目地を図面に描いていられること。と言ってきたが、最近それじゃダメだなと思うようななった。一つ一つきれいな目地を描こうという向上心があることを付け加えないと。When I was asked what skills an architect should have, I would say they have to be able to draw turf joints from morning till night.

Fujimi Hut を掲載いただく住宅特集1月号が本日校了。12月1日に撮影してその日に入稿し、図面も文章も差し替えながら校正し一週間で校了。JIAマガジンの編集長になってから毎月追われる気分を5年も味わうとこのスピード感も普通に感じる。11月頃取材要請を受けてから、今日までが編集者の感覚で見えてくる。

The January issue of the Juraku Tokushu containing Fujimi Hut has finished editing today. They took a picture on December 1st and submitted it to the print factory on the same day.

From around November when I received the interview request, I could see the process of editing until today as the editor’s sense.
