ジミーカーターは大統領に就任時、1977年にホワイトハウスの屋根に太陽光発電パネルを置いた。次のレーガンはそれらをとっぱらった。ディック・チェィニーを主人公にしたVICEという映画を見ていると共和党の反SDGs、レイシズム、反エコ、反累進課税政策には呆れる。
Jimmy Carter placed solar panels on the roof of the White House in 1977 when he became president. The next Reagan threw away them. Watching a movie called VICE with Dick Chainy as the main character, I am amazed at the Republican anti-SDGs, racism, anti-eco, and anti-progressive taxation policies.
拙著『建築の条件』を学ぶ3年生の授業がある。受講生は１５人と少ない。この学生に聞いた「将来建築家になりたい人」５人 だけだった。卒制をやるのは３−４０人くらいいるのだが、本当に設計をやるつもりなのは片手くらいのようである。まあそんなもんかな。
There is a class for third graders to study my book “Architectural Episteme”. The number of students is as small as 15. Only five “people who want to become architects in the future” asked this student. There are about 3-40 people who will do the thesis projects but it seems that only one hand is really going to design. I wonder if that is the case.
上智で教える東大の教え子桑原くんに呼ばれて今日と来週２回お話しする。何をするか考えたが、彼は僕の練窓の家を20年前に見てTCモノグラフに批評文を寄稿してくれた。その晦渋な文書を学生に読ませて議論してみたい。
I will talk twice today and next week by being called by Mr. Kuwahara, a student of mine at the University of Tokyo who teaches at Sophia University now. I wondered what to do, but he saw my window house 20 years ago and contributed a critique to the TC monograph. I would like students to read the difficult document and discuss it.
この本を著書ポールゴールドバーガーはニューヨークタイムスの建築批評家だった。わかりやすい英語で普通の人に通じる言葉で建築を伝えている。そこには物としての建築、空間としての建築、記憶と建築、場を作る建築、建築の意味など、僕とかぶる考えもある。
The author of this book, Paul Goldberger, was an architectural critic of the New York Times. He conveys architecture in plain English in a language that is familiar to ordinary people. There are also ideas that I also think, such as architecture as an object architecture as a space, memory and architecture, architecture that creates a place, and the meaning of architecture.
