彼らの設計した住宅とは建築の現れ方が似ていて少し驚いた。そのmini-villageのような作られ方は好ましく思ったが、考え方の異なる点もある。
彼らの設計した住宅との最も大きな違いは我々のプロジェクトは、地域の文脈-新興住宅地と田畑を統合する為に作られていて、屋上に新天地を現出させる為では無いということだ。
また、我々の設計した住宅の屋上は塀で囲われた隠された場所では無くもっと開放的だ。
ここにはロッテルダムの都市のただ中に新しいmini-villageを作り出すのでは無く…
The biggest difference with their designed housing, is the fact that our project takes into context the region - the houses are built with the intention to combine both the new residential areas and the farm fields, and won't cause the view from the rooftop to be solely the ground and the sky.
Besides that, the rooftops of the houses we designed aren't places surrounded by walls, but are more open. We're not trying to produce a new mini-village in the center of Rotterdam...
The biggest difference between the houses designed by them and our project is that we build by integrating the local culture together with the new residents and fields, we are not adding a paradise at the roof.
Moreover, the roof of the houses that we have designed are not surrounded by any wall, with no closed space and are more open.
We are not only going to create a new "mini-village" in the city of Rotterdam
…villageを作り出すのでは無く、田畑だった場所に、他の住宅も含めた新たな村を作り出そうとする我々の設計との違い、西洋と日本のプライバシーに対する感覚の違いなどが現れていると思う。
プライバシーに対する感覚の違いで言えば、”D. V.”がそれぞれの小屋が個室となっているのと対照的に我々のプロジェクトでは3ある小屋のうち、ひとつは中身が無く、もう一つが家族の為の共用バスルーム、もう一つがゲストルームになっているのも、あまり個室を重視しない日本の住宅らしい違いだと思いました。
Talking about differences in feelings of privacy, in contrast to D.V.which cabins each have private rooms, our project has 3 cabins. One doesn't have an interior, another has a communal use bathroom for the family, and another has a guest room. I think it's quite different from the Japanese houses where private rooms aren't as important.
Regarding the feeling for the privacy, opposite to "D.V." with all the huts as a private space, in the 3 huts of our project, one is an entire open space, second one is designed as a public family bathroom and the third one is the room for guests. We think that this is the difference with a typical feature of the Japanese house which do not care much about private space.
