私たちが心を動かされる階段に共通しているのは「風景を作り、その先の空間への期待を感じさせる」こと。1枚目の写真はアッシジ(イタリア)の路地裏を結ぶ階段。ここでは建築とランドスケープの境界は消え失せ、階段は連続する空間の一部でありながら、確固たる「場所」を作っている。こんな階段を作りたいといつも考えている。
粕谷淳司+粕谷奈緒子 , 季刊『ディテール』2017:07「私の心を動かした階段」のためのテクスト
The stairs that have moved us all share the aspect of “creating a landscape as well as expectations towards the spaces that lie beyond it.” The first photograph shows the staircases connecting the back alleys in Assisi (Italy). Here, the boundary between architecture and landscape disappears and the stairs become both a part of the continual landscape as well as “spaces” in and of themselves. These are the kinds of stairs we always strive to create.

断面図やパースが表現しているものは目に見える空間や場所であり、私たちの身体感覚に直接関係する。その一方で、平面図に書き込まれている空間や場所を、私たちは同時に体験することはできない。平面図が表現しているのは連続する体験であり、そこで行われる日常生活である。つまり平面図は「時間を設計する図面」である。
Sections and perspectives illustrate spaces and places that are visible to the eye and that directly relate to our bodily scale. The spaces and places depicted within floorplans, however, cannot be simultaneously experienced. What floorplans express are a series of experiences as well as the daily lives that will be lived within such places. In other words, floorplans are “blueprints for designing time.”
私たちを取り巻く文化は、進歩という名のもとに日々変化を続けている。慌ただしく変化する世界の中で、室内の空間は光によって風景と接続され、穏やかな居場所となり、自分と世界をつなぐ窓となる。こうして見え隠れしながら互いにつながり、気配や風が伝わる空間は、「部屋」と呼ぶよりも「場所」と呼ぶほうがふさわしい。
粕谷淳司+粕谷奈緒子 , 『光が作る住宅の風景』(2008:02)より
The culture around us continues to change daily in the name of progress. Within our hastily changing world, the rooms that we find ourselves in are connected to the landscape through light, becoming gentle places where we belong and windows that connect us to the world. Such spaces that alternately appear and disappear, connect and convey various presences and breezes, are better suited to be called “places” as opposed to simply “rooms.”

写真が既にあるもの、つまり過去を向いたメディアであるのに対して、建築のスケッチはまだ見ぬもの、つまり未来に向けられたメディアであり、建築の全体像、周辺との関係、ディテールに対する私たちの思考の過程そのものでもある。
If photographs are a medium that looks to the past, in other words what existed, architectural sketches are a medium that looks to the future, or what we have yet to see. Sketches show the overall picture of a building, its relationship to its surroundings, details -- they are our thought processes themselves.
