下面是摘抄Kengo Kuma 对于《名所江户百景》中的“大桥骤雨”的描述：

“雨在绘画空间中构成一个空间层面，之后是大桥，再之后是河面、对岸等多重空间。

安腾广重在这个二次元空间里，创造出了极其丰富的重层空间。

他在这里采用的是不同于西洋透视法的散点透视，这种散点透视原理和日本传统建筑空间原理是一致的。

他所特有的是那丝丝雨线般游离在自然与人工界限间模糊又纤细的东西，这东西是西方现代主义中所没有的。”

读了从金石堂买来的安藤忠雄自己写的《建筑家安藤忠雄》发现了以前不知道的三件事情：一，安藤忠雄有一个孪生弟弟。二，他是追随弟弟才打拳击的。三，安藤忠雄高中毕业，开始做室内设计谋生直到自学建筑开立事务所。以前读过很多介绍tadao ando的文章，大多以第三人称介绍为主。这本书可以说是作者的自传和40年建筑的心得，书中很详细的整理了一些重要作品的设计线索。 more »

Below is a Reading Quote taken from “2G august 2009″, Image from internet.

The nest and the cave are both primal states of architecture, but in a sense these two are opposites.

For the person (or animal) living in it, a nest can be described as a hospitably arranged “functional place.” By contrast, a cave is there regardless of people. It is a place that occurs naturally irrespective of whether it is hospitable or in hospitable for a person to inhabit. Yet neither is it unsuitable as a place in which to live. In a cave there are various contours and hollows, as well as unexpected expansions and contractions. When people set foot in a cave, they rediscover how to inhabit these geographical features. These hollows seem like they can be slept in, that height seems good for eating, those nooks are slightly more private spaces, I could put this book here; in this way, they gradually begin to inhabit these geographical features. In other words, a cave is not functional but it is heuristic. Rather than a coercive functionalism, it is a stimulating place in which various activities are enabled. Each day, people will discover new usages for a place.
