建築の理解

展覧会を見に来た若い学徒の感想文をいただいた。それには展覧会の模型に現れた建築の特徴が理解できなかったと書いてある。空間を理解する手立てがないというのである。そこで分かるためには言葉が必要だと考え拙著『建築の設計力』を読んだ。建築は物と間と流れでできているという部分を読んで展覧会の分からなさが氷解したと書いてあった。空間を言葉の力で解読するのには限界があるがこういうこともある。I received comments from young students who came to see the exhibition. It was written that he could not understand the features of the architecture that appeared in the models at the exhibition. There is no way to understand space. He thought that he needed words to understand this, so he read my book ``The Ability of Architectural Design.'' It was written that when he read the part about architecture being made up of things, space, and flow, his confusion about the exhibition cleared up. There are limits to how space can be deciphered using the power of words, but things like this happen.
