座右の書である『判断力批判』を学兄小田部胤久さんが新たに訳出した。まだ読んでいないのにこういうのもなんだが、この帯の言葉は決して大袈裟ではないと思う。彼の晦渋な本を僕は殆ど読んでいるが、全部理解できるように書かれている。これは驚異だと思う。 さらにこの新訳は原文に忠実でカント特有の長い文章を長いまま訳しているという。その昔彼が女子大でカントを読む授業をしているというので何語で読んでいるのかと聞いたら英語だと言っていた。日本語だとカントらしさが失われてしまうという。それは長い文章のことだった。カントの文章が長いのはラテン語の文章の特徴を継承しているからだと説明してくれたがそのことは本書を読みながら味わってみたいと思う。とにかくこんなお仕事を退任後に世に出されるエネルギーに敬意を表したい。 My learned colleague, Tanehisa Odabe, has newly translated “Critique of Judgment,” a book that I have had by me. I have not read the book yet, but I think the words on the obi are not exaggerated. I have read all of his books, and they are all written in a way that I can understand them. I think this is a marvel. Furthermore, this new translation is said to be faithful to the original and translates Kant's long sentences as they are. I asked him what language he was reading Kant in, when he told me that he had students read in a womens college and he told me English. He said that if he used Japanese, Kant would lose his originality. He was referring to Kant's long sentences. He explained to me that Kant's sentences are long because he inherited the characteristics of Latin sentences, which I would like to taste as I read this book. Anyway, I would like to express my respect for his energy to publish such a work after his retirement.

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.

二年生後期の課題で美術館をやることにした。自由に建築を作る楽しさを味わおうという狙い。それに応えてバラエティーに富んだ案が沢山現れた。We decided to do an art museum as a project for the second half of the second year. The aim is to let them experience the fun of creating architecture freely. In response, a wide variety of ideas emerged.

日本工業大学主催の第38回建築設計競技の表彰式に行ってきました。歴代の錚々たる建築家審査委員の歴史の1ページに加えて頂き光栄でした。「肝っ玉母さんの家あるいは頑固親父の家」と言う課題は私の３人の先生の別の言い方です。高校生たちは大学生顔負けの建築力で審査委員を唸らしました。学長もいらして課題にお褒めの言葉を頂きました。関係者の皆様ありがとうございました。I went to the awards ceremony for the 38th Architectural Design Competition sponsored by the Nippon Institute of Technology. It was an honor to be included in a page in the history of the distinguished architect jury. The assignment ``Home of a warm-hearted mother or a stubborn father'' is another way of calling for my three teachers. The high school students impressed the judges with their architectural skills that rivaled the university students. The president also came and gave me words of praise for the assignment. Thank you to everyone involved.

カタルーニャ工科大学の現代日本建築研究所は、正式に設置が認められ、来年篠原一男展をやることも決まり、大学はスポンサー探しを始めた。と昨晩メールが来た。ついては、来夏の展覧会のために研究室の〈白の家〉〈地の家〉の模型持ってバルセロナに来て欲しい。レクチャー、シンポジウム、カタログ原稿頼んだぞとズームで言われた。そこでで目が覚めた。でもきっと今晩のzoomの内容はそんなことだろう。The Institute of Contemporary Japanese Architecture at the Polytechnic University of Catalonia has been officially approved for establishment, and it has been decided that a Shinohara Kazuo exhibition will be held next year, and the university has begun looking for sponsors. ", I received an email last night. In addition, I was told by zoom that they would like me to come to Barcelona with models of the laboratory's "House in white" and "Earth House" for the exhibition next summer and that I had been asked to give a lecture, a symposium, and write the catalogue manuscript. I woke up at that moment. But I'm sure that's what the Zoom will be about tonight.

今日お会いした方はパートナーの中川君が長く相談に乗ってきたひとだか、新たな相談のきっかけはDAの近作Dear deerなどを見たのに加え私の著書を数冊読んだからだと言っていた。著書に建築的説得力があったのならとても嬉しい。、 The person we met today is someone whose partner, Nakagawa, has been consulting with for a long time, and he said that the reason for his new consultation was because he had seen DA's recent work Dear Deer, and had read several of my books. Ta. I would be very happy if the book had architectural persuasive power. ,

構造補強でもある135角6mの独立柱が建った。これはだいぶ細く見えるだろう。A 135 square 6m independent column was erected to strengthen the structure. This will look quite thin.

3ヶ月で3刷は建築の本としては画期的。皆様ありがとうございます。『〈世界〉としての窓』もよろしくお願いします。The third printing in three months is groundbreaking for an architecture book. Thank you everyone. Please also read “Window as the World”.

多木陽介さんの新刊を、編集した川尻さんからお送りいただいた。早速全部読んだ。前の家で使っていたフリスビーや今も使っているアルコのデザイナーであるアキーレ・カスティリオーニが主役である。彼のセンスがブリコラージュ的であるという分析が何だかとても頷ける。どうしてこんなに斬新だけど出張ってないのだろうか。かっこいいけど昔からあるように思えるのか。「物」に対する観察と愛情がこういうフォルムと機能を生み出したんだと言うことが多木さんの平易な言葉から自然に響いてくる。久々に読んでそうだなあと思える本だった。Mr. Kawajiri, who edited Yosuke Taki's new book, sent it to me. I read it all right away. The main character is Achille Castiglioni, the designer of the Frisbee I used in my previous home and the Arco I still use. The analysis that his sense is bricolage-like makes a lot of sense. Why isn't it too strong even though it's so innovative? It's cool, but does it seem like it's been around for a long time? Mr. Taki's simple words naturally suggest that his observation and love for "things" created this form and function. It was a book that made me feel convincing I had read it for the first time in a while.

留学を勧める理由はいろいろあるけれど，根っこには世界は広いから「ここ」にずっといる必要はないという気持ちがある。だから自分としては三拠点居住をしたいと思っている。2年前に能舞台の大きさの小屋を作り年に70日くらい暮らしている。二拠点居住は始まった。来年３つめを具体化したい。可能なら海外に。There are many reasons why I recommend studying abroad, but at the heart of it is the feeling that the world is so big that there is no need to stay ``here'' forever. That's why I personally want to live in three locations. Two years ago, I built a hut the size of a Noh stage and lives there about 70 days a year. Dual base residence has begun. I want to make the third base a reality next year. Go abroad if possible.
