厚い壁と薄い壁

外壁の壁が薄いとわかれば、その空間は外と連続的に認識できるかもしれないし、外壁の壁が厚ければ、その空間は外と遮断されていると認識するだろう。要するに、壁が薄ければ繋がり、厚ければ遮断される。

しかし、今まで壁の厚みは構造体としての壁と環境性能としての壁が厚みを決めてきて、そこに空間を認識する要素としての意識は欠落していた。

ということは、壁が有るのに外と繋がり、壁が無いのに遮断されている状況がつくれるということである。

ただ、壁を厚くすればその分空間が狭くなり、壁の薄さにも限度がある。だから、壁は厚くするが、その厚みの中に設えを仕込み、厚い壁との対比で薄く壁を見せる。

"Thick and thin walls"

If the outer wall is known to be thin, the space may be continuously recognized as the outside, and if the outer wall is thick, the space may be recognized as being cut off from the outside. In short, if the wall is thin, it is connected, and if it is thick, it is blocked.

However, until now, the thickness of the wall has been determined by the wall as the structural body and the wall as the environmental performance, and the consciousness as an element for recognizing the space there has been lacking.

This means that it is possible to create a situation where there is a wall that connects to the outside, and there is no wall that blocks the environment.

However, if the wall is made thicker, the space becomes narrower by that amount, and there is a limit to the thinness of the wall. Therefore, the wall is made thicker, but a device is installed in the thickness to make the wall look thinner in comparison with a thick wall.
