意図的に差異をつくる

差異が記憶になる、と言えば、子供の頃、夏休みに母方の田舎へ行くと、夕暮れの西日が差し込む部屋があり、その差し込み方が普段住んでいた家とは何か違っており、その部屋のことが、その時の切なさみたいな気分とともに、大好きな場所にいると夕暮れは楽しいことの終わりを象徴するものだから、今でも妙に記憶に残っている。

今は無いその部屋は、別に特別変わっていた訳でもなく、一見普通なのだが、ただ普段住んでいた家の部屋とは何かが違い、その差異を明確に言うこともできないが、夏休みのその田舎の情景を思い出す時には必ずその部屋が出てくる。

その部屋は夕暮れの西日が差し込む時間に、切ない気分に合わせるかのように、違って見えた。

その時の気分を受け止める何か、余白みたいなものがあったのだろう。もしその部屋が無かったら、夏休みの思い出の記憶も全然違うものになっていたはずだ。

このことをもっと意図的につくり出せないか。記憶になる差異をもっと明確に理解しながらつくり出せないか。

この夕暮れの西日の差し込む部屋の窓の高さは、今から思えば、低い。肘掛け窓だが、室内から見ても、屋外から見ても低い。そう、この部屋は後から増築したのかもしれない。そう言えば、その部屋と他の部分とのつながり方がちょっとおかしい。今となっては確かめる術は無いが、その家の中で、その部屋だけが廊下のどん詰まりにあった。もしかすると、昔は物入れか納戸だったところを広げて部屋にした可能性が高い。

そうたがら、その部屋と他の部分とのつながり方が差異だった。普段住んでいた家には無かった。

何かその差異を子供ながらに感じとり、その部屋自体は普通であるにもかかわらず、何か特別な場所に仕立て上げたのかもしれない。もちろん、夕暮れの西日があってのことだが。

気分に追従する建築は、丹念に紐解けをしないとわからないくらいの差異が必要なのかもしれない。

ただ、その差異を余白と捉えて、そこにその時の気分が入り込む余地があるということだが、差異ならば何でも良いという訳では無いような気がする。

"Make a difference intentionally"

Speaking of differences becoming memorable, when I was a child, when I go to the maternal countryside during the summer vacation, there is a room where the sunset at dusk is inserted, the way of inserting it is different from the house I usually live in, When the room is in a favorite place with the mood like that at that time it is symbolic of the end of fun at dusk, so even now it is strangely remembered.

The room that is not present is not a special change at all, but it seems normal at first glance, but something is different from the room of the house that I usually live in, but I can not say clearly the difference, but that during summer vacation When I recall the scenes of the country, that room certainly comes out.

The room looked different like the dusk of the evening sunny day, as if it fits a pleasant mood.

I guess there was something like a margin to catch the mood at that time. If that room did not exist, memories of memories of summer vacation would have been completely different.

Can you make this more intentionally? Can you make it while understanding the difference that becomes memorized more clearly?

The height of the windows of the rooms of the dusk of the evening in the western sun is low from now. Although it is an armrest window, it is low even when looking from the inside or from the outside. Yes, this room may have been expanded afterwards. By the way, how to connect the room and other parts is somewhat strange. There is no technique to confirm now, but in that house only that room was clogged in the hallway. Possibly, there is a high possibility that it used to be a room spreading out the place where it was a storey or a store in the past.

That being so, the connection between the room and the other part was a difference. I did not live in the house I usually lived in.

I felt something like that while I was a kid, and the room itself may have been tailored to something special, even though it is normal. Of course, there was a sunset in the evening.

The architecture that follows the mood may need a difference that you do not understand unless you carefully understand it.

However, although I think that difference is a margin, there is room for mood of that time to enter there, but it seems that there is no reason why anything is not good.
