「人々の動き、建築の映像性」
The movement of people, the visual nature of architecture
The movement of people, the visual nature of architecture
建築は不動のものである。故に建築は古来から写真に捉えやすい対象として数多くの写真が撮られてきた。一方で空間を連続で写真に捉えることにより、建築内部の空間体験を表現しようとしてきたものもある。現在では映像作品として建築を表現しているものも増えてきた。
「建築は、実際に見るよりも写真で見たほうが理解しやすい。」
かつて、ヴァルターベンヤミンは自身の著書で述べた。
これは空間、あるいは建築単体の話である。そこには建築を取り巻く環境や人々は関係なく、純粋な建築の話である。現代の建築は建築の空間と共に内部での活動、所謂プログラムが建築を構成する要素となっている。そのため、建築は空間単体で語ることが無くなり、「その場所」で「何が行われているか」を中心に建築を語ることとなった。
建築の使われ方、即ち建築を使う人々、建築に居る人々に着目する。建築単体であれば不動的なものであるが、人々の行動＝「何が行われているか」によって建築は動的な存在化する。
建築の映像性を、建築と共に存在する人々に見出す。建築は不動のものだが、人々が加わることで建築は動き出す。建築の空間だけでなく、「その場所」で「何が行われているか」という、本来人のために存在する建築という建築の本質をもう一度考えたい。
近代から現代にかけて素材の進化により、ガラスの持つ透明性により、外の景色を建築の中に取り込むことや、内外の連続を生み出してきた。建築の体験を目的としてた透明性ではなく、人々の動きに着目した透明性を用いることで、映像性を建築の中に作り出す。

建築に存在する視覚を阻害する要素について考える。例えば柱や梁・階段・床・棚など建築を構成するものがガラスで純粋な透明にできたとする。普段見ることのできなかった僅かな死角を開放することで、人々の動きをより明確化する。人々は新たな建築の風景の中に動的な建築を見つけ出し、建築の中にある豊かな動きに気付き始める。

Architecture is immovable. Therefore, architecture has been photographed a lot since ancient times as a subject that is easy to capture.
Therefore, architecture has been photographed in numerous photographs since ancient times as an object that is easy to capture. On the other hand, some have attempted to express the spatial experience inside architecture by photographing a series of spaces.Some have attempted to express the spatial experience of architectural interiors by capturing a series of spaces in photographs. Today, an increasing number of architectural images are being produced as video works.
"Architecture is easier to understand when seen in photographs than when seen in person."
Walter Benjamin once said in one of his books.
This is a story of space, or architecture alone. The environment and people surrounding the architecture are irrelevant. It is a story of pure architecture. In contemporary architecture, the interior activities, or programs, are the building's components, along with the architectural space.The architecture of today is composed of the space of the building as well as its internal activities, the so-called program. Therefore, architecture is no longer discussed in terms of space alone, but rather, architecture is discussed with a focus on "what is being done" in "the place".
The focus is on how architecture is used, i.e., the people who use it and the people who are in it. If it were architecture by itself, it would be architecture by itself is an immobile thing, it becomes a dynamic entity depending on people's actions, i.e., "what is being done".What is being done" makes architecture a dynamic entity.
The visual nature of architecture is found in the people who are present with architecture. Architecture is immovable, but it is set in motion by the addition of people.architecture is immovable, but when people join in, architecture begins to move. We would like to reconsider the essence of architecture, which exists not only in the architectural space, but also in "what is being done" in "the place" - architecture that originally exists for the sake of people.
The transparency of glass, which has evolved as a material from modern times to the present, has made it possible to bring the outside view into the architecture and to create a space that is both inside and outside.The transparency of glass, which was intended to be an architectural experience, has been used to bring the outside into the building and to create a continuity between inside and outside. Transparency is not about the experience of the architecture, but about the movement of people.The use of transparency that focuses on the movement of people, rather than on the experience of the architecture, creates a visual quality within the architecture.
Consider elements in architecture that obstruct vision. For example, columns, beams, stairs, floors, shelves, etc.Suppose that the building is made of glass, which is purely transparent. We could open up a few blind spots that we normally could not see.people's movement would become clearer by opening up a few blind spots. People will find dynamic architecture in the new architectural landscape.and begin to notice the richness of movement within the architecture.
Aiming for architecture that accompanies the richness of people's lives.
