Work Details
1960年代に黒川紀章らが提唱した、「Metabolism」という建築様式は、生物学的な代謝の概念を建築に適用したもので、柔軟性や拡張性により変化する社会や文化に対応することができ、自分で建物を改装して使いやすい環境を作り出すことができるといった理念的な魅力から、時代の流れとともに新しいアプローチを求める人々から高い評価を受けていた。
しかしながら、その文化的価値も空しく、近年では、耐久性やメンテナンスコストの問題などがあり、取り壊されることが多く、直近ではその建築様式の代表的な作品である中銀カプセルタワービルが解体された。
そんな「Metabolism」建築様式の価値が未来に残っていく様にとの思いから制作した。

Artist
Sculptor, contemporary artist
Graduated from the University of Tokyo Graduate School of Engineering Graduated from Kyoto University, Faculty of Engineering, Department of Architecture Graduated from Akita Prefectural Akita High School After studying architecture, my interest in society and the economy became stronger, and I left architecture to engage in structured finance work at a financial institution because I wanted to improve Japan and the world. Construct virtual structures such as currency, logic, and systems. I experienced the Lehman shock firsthand, and I realized that what I desperately built up with imagination in the financial industry is something that instantly collapses due to external factors, so to speak, “labor” in the relationship between labor and work shown by Hannah Arendt in “human conditions,” and that anyone can do and consume. I wanted to do a “job” to create works that will last forever even after my death, so I aspired to be an artist. Using the structure and relationships of society as the theme of the work, I want to improve Japan and the world by differentiating the three-dimensional structure and function of reality to express the essential beauty of things, and by expressing new awareness about the structure and relationships of society.
