In my architect's office- where I had no longer any place of my own; they'd pushed me away from the drawing boards -they built me an office without windows, 2•26×2•26m, lit by an electric lamp. It is certainly at the human scale, although extremely small.
There are certain distances at which things appear good or bad. You must excuse me if I speak of personal experiences. I have a dining room of very cramped dimensions which, for technical reasons, and not due to aesthetics, is furnished with a barrel vault 4 x 4m square and 3m high to the top of the
vault.
物事が良く見えるか悪く見えるかには、一定の隔たりがある。個人的な体験談を話すが容赦して欲しい。私の家にはとても窮屈なダイニングルームがあって、そこには美的感覚からではなく、技術的な理由から作られた4 x 4m四方のかまぼこ型天井があり、一番高い所で3mある。
