ルネサンスを社会史的に読む本と美術史的に読む本はそれぞれあるが、両方の流れを一度に睨み、されど簡潔に書かれた本はこれが初めてでとても面白かった。おすすめです。十字軍が契機となり、大航海時代がその落日を決定したということがよく分かりました。There are books that read the Renaissance in terms of social history and art history respectively but this is the first book that looks at both streams at once, yet in a concise manner, and I found it very interesting. I recommend it. I could clearly see that the Crusades were the catalyst and the Age of Exploration was the downfall.

理科大社会人コース卒計卒論発表会でした。段々レベルが上がるのがよく分かる。Yesterday, there was a graduation design and graduation thesis on the adult course of the Tokyo University of Science Department of Architecture. You can see that the level gradually rises.

アナウンサーがハードワークで病むと話題だが、身近なところで編集者のハードワークもかなりのもの。いっしょに仕事している２人が体調を崩し、1人か連絡取れなくなり、1人が人事異動などで担当本が20冊増えたと泣いていた。彼らに比べたら僕など呑気に仕事してるなと思う。 It is a hot topic that an announcer is sick due to hard work, but the editor's hard work is also considerable. Two people who worked together with me have been sick, couldn't contact one person, and one of them was crying that the number of books he has to edit have increased by 20 due to personnel changes. I feel relieved that I don't work like them.

今年のTOTO建築家カレンダーは篠原一男である。カレンダーはかけたことないが、今年だけはかけよう。This year's TOTO architect calendar is Kazuo Shinohara. I hate the calendar and have never hung it. But only this year I decided to hang it on the wall.

千葉さんに新著をいただいた。ページをめくると今から6年前に拙宅について書いてくれた「身体性と他者性」という文章が載っていた。拙宅は内臓のようだという表現が的確で、あなたの家はどんな家と聞かれると「内臓みたいと千葉さんに言われた」と言うようになった。I received a new book from Mr. Chiba. When I turned the page, I saw an article written about my house six years ago called ``Physicality and Otherness.'' It is accurate to say that my house looks like an internal organ, and when asked what kind of house your house is, I will say, ``Mr. Chiba told me that it looks like an internal organ.''

カズ曰く •戻りたい過去はありません。過去は過去ですから。 •常に何かに挑戦していれば輝きは失われない。 • いいことばかりじゃなかった。でも、大事なのはそこで努力をやめないこと。 同じ気持ち Kazu says • There is no past you want to return. The past is the past. • If you always challenge something, your shine will not be lost. • I have not always experienced just good. But the important thing is not to stop making an effort there. Same feeling

あの神楽の急坂を上がってきたかと思うと皆に拍手。The runner came up that steep Kagura slope. When I think about that, I want to applaud everyone.

配偶者が理事を務める書家の集まりの会則では理事定年が80だそうだ。いつまでやるのと聞いたら80と言う。では僕も80まで書いて、作ると決めた。そのためにまず体力作りの合宿しないとな。プロのトレーナーに相談したい。 According to the rules of the association of calligraphers whose spouses serve as directors, the retirement age for directors is 80. When I asked her how long she is going to do it, she said 80. So I decided to write up to 80 and make it. To do that, I first have to go to a training camp to build up my physical strength. I would like to consult a professional trainer.

卒論発表会における高橋治研のTastumi Panelという不燃断熱パネルの耐力分析に驚いた。パネルだけで（軸組なしで）6mスパンの断熱厚200の倉庫が不燃でできるという。このパネル耐震壁にも使えるとめちゃくちゃつかいであると思った。 I was surprised by Osamu Takahashi's proof stress analysis of a noncombustible insulation panel called Tastumi Panel at the graduation thesis presentation. It is said that a non-combustible warehouse with an insulation thickness of 200mm and a span of 6m can be built using just the panels (without frames). I thought this panel would be extremely useful if it could also be used for earthquake-resistant walls.
