"For usual building that has not been seen"
Top page of website of Tomoaki Uno has the upper text. At first glance, I think this sentence is contradiction. Because "has not been seen" and "usual " are contradictory elements. Typically, we recognize "usual "is "I've seen" What is "usual building that has not been seen" he said? He wrote following text.
My work is seeking the standard model of modern Japanese architecture.
In the past, the Japanese has made "Usual construction" that the age requests.
Shinto shrine, temple, stupa, and Sukiya, a tea-ceremony room, houses, and tradesmen's house, etc.
The one that remains exceeding the age now has all the same value.
It is "beautiful". Way that it is only over time.
Demand for convenience and economy, amid calls for it to be a modern and ecological diversity of values, over a period "of the usual architecture of Japan," I want to present. "
And, the character of Uno's architecture is that he design and construction his building. He learned by mistake for making his ideal architecture. And He found the way. He design his building and construct with his fiducial craftsman. In his column, he wrote as follows.
"The most characteristic of my work is that it will build their own house. An original architect doesn't construct it. Besides, I put the body in the construction site daringly while separation of a design and the construction is demanded in this current of the times to defy it .The process before reaching there was not simple. ~ Omission ~ Even if the same movie is seen or the same book is read, the how to catch is different people with different tastes. The images of the completion are different in each by the construction company and the craftsman. If they similarly see the same drawing. If the correction is possible freely on the field, it is no problem, but, at the stage that the construction company contracted, leadership is away from my hand. And, the intention of the construction company reflected is more or less in all the processes. It may go right sometimes, and making home builder should always seek a profit was stressful for me. In making any, it is not good what various wills work there.
