坂牛は知の使い方がわかりやすく、ひけらかさないと加藤耕一さんに褒められた。親父が定時制高校生に酒飲みながらマルクスを解らせた話術のDNAが遺伝したのだろう。わからない哲学に価値はないし、伝わらない建築も悲しいものだ。しかしポピュリズムはもっと酷い。その隙間が表現と言うものだ。Sakaushi’s way of using knowledge is easy to understand, and Professor Kato Koichi praised me for not showing off my knowledge. It must have been inherited from the DNA of the storytelling technique that my father helped students understand Marx while drinking with high school student. There is no value in philosophy that you don't understand, and architecture that doesn't convey it is sad. But populism is even worse. That gap is what you call an expression.

昨日は再会シリーズ。一番上:初期OFDAメンバー伊藤博之さん、木島さん、、その下:中高同期、下から２番目:お客様たち（記念撮影忘れた）、一番下:坂牛研卒業生。懇親会参加者多くお客様会場と卒業生会場を別にする苦肉の策でした。Yesterday I had a reunion series. Top: Early OFDA members Hiroyuki Ito and Kijima, bottom left: Junior and senior high school classmates, bottom middle Guests (forgot to take a commemorative photo), bottom right: Sakaushi Lab graduates. There were so many participants that we had to separate the venue for guests from the venue for alumni.

最終ゼミそしてカクテルに来られた方、zoomで参加された方、心から御礼申し上げます。ありがとうございました。「見ること、書くこと、作ること」をこれからも続けていこうと思います。 The final seminar was held in Kagurazaka. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all those who came and those who listened via Zoom. Thank you very much. I would like to continue "observing, writing, and creating”

法政大学で西沢大良さん、渡辺真里さんと大江宏賞を審査した。「歩く」を考えた案が受賞。おめでとう。The Oe Hiroshi Prize was judged at Hosei University. The idea that "walking" was awarded. Congratulations.

本日の最終ゼミは神楽坂で18時から、2時間ゼミ、カクテル1時間。数名の方から18時は遅くないか？と問い合わせが来たが、仕事の後来れて、聞いて、軽く話して帰るためのプログラム。僕も仕事してから駆けつける。夕刻みなさんにお会いするのが楽しみです。Today's final seminar will be held at Kagurazaka at 6pm, with a two-hour seminar and an hour of cocktails. A few people say isn't 6pm late? I received an inquiry, but there was a program where you could come after work, listen, talk briefly, and go home. I look forward to seeing you all in the evening.

弁護士にお願いして調停協議していた問題が片付いた。新しい仕事の次のステップが決まった。かもめブックス（独立系書店）に『建築を見る技術』と『〈世界〉としての窓』の両方が置かれていた。本日の小さな幸せ。 The problem that I had asked a lawyer to mediate has been resolved. The next step in my new job has been decided. Kamome Books (an independent bookstore) had both "The Analogical way of Observing Architecture" and "The Window as the World". Today's small happiness.

河口湖の夜明け。新しい仕事の骨格が決まって嬉しい。 At the dawn of Lake Kawaguchi. We are happy that the scope of new job has been decided.,

あまりに分厚いので恐れ慄いたが、観念して読んだ。正直なもので私が磯崎に興味を持っていた時代まではとても面白く読めた。著者の筆力が、磯崎の狂気を余すところなく描いていてスリリングである。僕の学生時代の二人の尊敬すべき建築家の一人だった磯崎のプラトン立体（特に立方体）による建築の自律性と、原風景である東大寺の巨大性への憧れが、篠原一男と大いに重なる。篠原は正方形で建築の自律性を作り、体質として巨大性を保持していた。この時代を作った二人の類似点に改めて気づく。It was so thick I was intimidated, but I gave in and read it anyway. I found it very interesting up until the time when I was interested in Isozaki. The author's writing skills are thrilling as he portrays Isozaki's madness in full detail. Isozaki was one of the two architects I respected in my student days, and his admiration for the autonomy of architecture through Platonic solids (especially cubes) and the enormity of Todaiji Temple, his original landscape, overlap greatly with Shinohara Kazuo's. Shinohara created architectural autonomy through squares and maintained enormity as a natural part of his character. I am reminded once again of the similarities between these two men who made this era.

数えてみると、理科大に来てから13本の査読付き論文の指導をした。今最後の論文を出した。通れば14本、毎年一本のベースは意匠系（計画系ではなく）の研究室としてはかなり多い。隔週日曜日ゼミを5年間250回くらい休みを潰してやった結果である。I counted, since I came to Science College, I taught 13 peer-reviewed papers. I just posted my last paper. If you pass, 14 of them are a base each year. This number is exceptionally high among design-related labs (not planning-related) bases. This is the result of killing about 250 days off every other Sunday for five years.

毎年1時間設計の年間最優秀者に僕のスケッチブックのカラーコピーを差し上げている。昨日作りました。2021年5月から6月にかけて使っていたもの。Every year, I give a color copy of my sketchbook to the student who is the best of the year for one-hour architecture design , I made it yesterday. This was used from May to June 2021.

坂牛卓研究室で学んだ有志が「卓袱会」という会を作りました。私の名前の卓と人が和するという気持ちを込めてつけた名前です。卓袱会では毎年展覧会を4月に開くことにしました。最年長でも40半ばという若い面々ですが瑞々しいアイデアを披露してくれることと思います。是非皆様のご来場、ご批評をお待ち申し上げます。 Volunteers who studied in Sakaushi Taku's lab have formed an association called "Shippokukai." The name was chosen to incorporate my name, "Taku," and the feeling of harmony among people. The Shippokukai has decided to hold an exhibition every April. Although the members are young, with the oldest in their mid-40s, I believe they will be able to show you fresh ideas. I look forward to your visit and comments.

スケッチ用の小さい机を買おうか迷ったが、既存の机の使い方を改めることにした。手前がスケッチ、真ん中は読書、奥は執筆。コンピュータはもとより、本も、スケッチブックもしまわない。すぐに始められるようにしておくのが重要だと。 I was wondering whether to buy a small desk for sketching, but I decided to change the way I use the existing desk. Sketches are in the foreground, reading in the middle, and writing in the back. I don’t put away computers, moreover books, or sketchbooks. It's important to make sure you can start right away.
