Tadao Ando
Omoroi of Kansai uncle

A talk show by architect Tadao Ando was held today at Bunkamura. This project was held as part of the event to celebrate the opening of the Shibuya and Tokyu department stores. Speaking of Mr. Ando, the design of “Omotesando Hills” and “21/21 DESIGN SIGHT” of Tokyo Midtown are new to my memory recently, but Tokyo Metro Co.,Ltd. and FUKU-TOSHIN LINE , which is scheduled to open in June next year, As one of the people who hold the key to urban planning in Tokyo from now on, he will be appointed as the design of Shin-Shibuya Station, and also to supervise the invitation to Tokyo Olympics led by Tokyo Metropolitan Governor Ishihara.

Or gathered also this attention, ticket distribution before Tokyu department store before more than 30 minutes (morning 10:30), was already able to 100 people close to the matrix. I also, at the end a little trot feeling and dangerous. Side-by-side layer of people are students Poi people who are studying architecture, editor writer dumping people, Shibuya future or your grandfather chan Ureu of, such as the aunt of Ando's fan, the young and old No preference popularity of height Ukagaemasu you. By the way, my ticket number is "# 106". Because it is capacity 150 people, somehow barely safe.

After finishing the meeting in the morning, to the Bunkamura in again 13:00.
The venue is set-up with a bold use of the cafe space of Bunkamura1F, is in the center seat of the people who have a ticket, it had been flooded further by standing customer of hundreds of people in the surrounding area. "No way, ... and be allowed to lecture in a place like this," the first words of Mr. Ando that venue also suddenly occur laughter, at once relaxed atmosphere.

Well, of course, it has a familiar lecture, truly is of Kansai uncle. The lecture is the first half of those, such as "Row House in Sumiyoshi," "Suntory Museum," "Omotesando Hills" and "21/21 DESIGN SIGHT", a track record of working to Mr. Ando is now based. Above all, design history and that has been requested in person from Suntory former chairman the late Keizo Saji said the "Suntory Museum", in order to obtain a building permit of the museum to be built facing the sea, road, different construction of under the management of the seawall and maritime saving, and good use of the vertically divided administration, such as the ministry of Transport and Osaka City, such as the story was brilliantly run the plan is was very interesting. As expected, the strong man of the hard-bitten. In addition to call the tourists in Osaka, great interest in the idea of ​​unconventional that it has proposed to Osaka that keep three little Orca in Osaka Bay. Beyond the architect of the frame, probably the person that has a PR and publicity point of view to move the media.

Well, essential for the "new Shibuya Station" is, was only to content that does not exceed the range of the announcement until now. Station of the ellipse of the three-layer structure in the basement 30m "Chichusen", build a large atrium space directed from the lowest layer of the home in the upper part, also, such as incorporating the natural ventilation system .... Too smooth tongue, I thought whether pop also be equipped with new, unfortunately. The lecture theme of "Tadao Ando talks about a" new Shibuya Station, "", how a little indigestion feeling.

Then, now, that Mr. Ando has put the force seems to realization of the "forest of the sea". Mountain of garbage that has been buried in Tokyo Bay, the aim is Mr. Ando because trying to greening the negative legacy. Or to say, even with the sea version of the sky of Rapyura, so to speak, a large forest that floats on the sea. That said, whether to squeeze from where this huge amount of money? Ando is the originator of this project launched a "sea of ​​forest fund-raising", attracted 1 million donation of one 1,000 yen, It is said that trying to make a green island in the power of citizens. That said, "where the" forest of the sea "has been realized, the degree ... that sultry night is resolved at best four days of Tokyo," Mr. Ando and will Ikiri. In short, that you are going to do with yourself, not give effect much for the environment. But, through these activities, it seems that each person is going to think about what you can do are considered to be important. The architect, do you of what kind of profession. Foster the people, I feel that a glimpse of the "underlying strength of the design," which was thought up there.
Lecture is just one hour, 14:00 end.
