容れ物でないとしたら

建築は容れ物であり、人はそこに入り込み、そこには人以外の物もたくさん置かれる。考えようによっては、人と建築の間に物があり、人と建築の距離が遠い。

距離が遠いと感じるならば、人と建築の距離を縮めたい。

建築を容れ物と考えるの止めてみる、そして、人と建築を直に並べて、人以外の物はその先に置く。人以外の物よりも、人と建築の距離が近くなる。

それはどうことか。建築が容れ物でないならば、雨露を凌ぐ、例えば傘だと思い、今ならば寒さから守る、例えば毛布だと思い、傘と毛布を組み合わせて、そこに設備をつなぐ。つなぎ方は人と建築の距離感の邪魔にならない所で、人以外の物としておく。

そんな人と建築の距離を縮めることをぼんやりと考えていたら、それはなんとなくキャンプの発想だなと思った。

"If it's not a container"

Architecture is a container, and people get in there, and many non-human things are placed there. Depending on how you think about it, there is something between people and architecture, and the distance between people and architecture is long.

If you feel that the distance is far, you want to shorten the distance between people and architecture.

Stop thinking of architecture as a container, and put people and architecture side by side, and put non-human things ahead. The distance between people and architecture is closer than that of non-human objects.

How is that? If the architecture is not a container, surpass the rain and dew, think of it as an umbrella, and now protect it from the cold, think of it as a blanket, combine an umbrella and a blanket, and connect the equipment there. The way of connecting should be something other than people, where it does not interfere with the sense of distance between people and architecture.

When I was vaguely thinking about shortening the distance between such people and architecture, I thought it was a camp idea.
