Date and time: November 8 (Sun) 13:00 to 15:30

Venue Russe Hall Convention Center

Instructor Mr. Shoya Uchida (Professor Emeritus of the University of Tokyo) and Mr. Terunobu Fujimori (Professor Emeritus of the University of Tokyo)

On November 8 (Sun), we invited Mr. Shoya Uchida and Mr. Terunobu Fujimori to hold a lecture on "Technique and Mind" this year. The title is "History of Modern Architecture of Manufacturing". In commemoration of the exhibition "Challenge of Modern Architecture Manufacturing" held in the museum, we will discuss modern architecture with both researchers and architects from the perspective of technology and craftsmen.

The first lecture was Mr. Fujimori. The techniques of brick, slate, and reinforced concrete were explained using photographs and improvised illustrations. What I draw on the whiteboard is the Hoffman kiln, which burns brick continuously.

Next, in Mr. Uchida's lecture, he talked about carpentry after the war. Particularly emphasized the importance of wooden carpenters that make formwork essential for reinforced concrete buildings. It is pointed out that creating a formwork on site is the same as building a full-scale wooden building.

The conversation started when Mr. Fujimori began to talk about how to elucidate how to cut wood boards at the Toro archeological site.

Eventually, Mr. Fujimori will hear the story from Mr. Uchida. There are plenty of topics that can not be heard elsewhere, such as the actual situation of the era of switching from wooden to reinforced concrete after the war, and the story that trees do not rot in Europe, and despite the hard theme of building technology, the venue is often laughing It is wrapped in

Regarding the technology of modern architecture, I thought that the story of iron and concrete would be the center, and that the importance of wooden technology was pointed out was something that the planning side did not expect. However, the content spoken is undoubtedly an important aspect of the history of modern architecture in manufacturing. It was a fulfilling lecture unique to both top-notch people, including achievements, experience, and speech skills.

In June of next year, we are planning to invite both of them in Tokyo to give a lecture. If you could not come this time, please join us to see what kind of story will come out this time. Details will be posted on this website later.
