我想到要做一个终极的木制建筑。它是通过无意识地堆放350毫米的正方形而构思的。
木材的用途非常广泛。在一个普通的木制建筑中，正是因为木材的用途广泛，所以在不同的地方根据功能进行有效区分。柱子、横梁、地基、外墙、内墙、天花板、地板、隔热材料、家具、楼梯、窗框，意思都是如此。然而，我想，如果木材确实如此多才多艺，那么为什么不按照一个规则来创造建筑，满足所有这些功能。我设想创造新的空间性，在各种功能和角色分化之前，保留一个和谐实体的原始条件。

I thought of making an ultimate wooden architecture. It was conceived by just mindlessly stacking 350mm square.
Lumber is extremely versatile. In an ordinary wooden architecture, lumber is effectively differentiated according to functions in various localities precisely because it is so versatile. Columns, beams, foundations, exterior walls, interior walls, ceilings, floorings, insulations, furnishings, stairs, window frames, meaning all. However, I thought if lumber is indeed so versatile then why not create architecture by one rule that fulfills all of these functions. I envisioned the creation of new spatiality that preserves primitive conditions of a harmonious entity before various functions and roles differentiated.

这里没有地板、墙壁和天花板的分隔。一个人们认为是地板的地方从不同的位置变成了椅子、天花板、墙壁。楼层是相对的，空间性根据人的位置而被感知。在这里，人们在空间中的分布是三维的。这是一个像无定形景观的地方，有各种距离感的新体验。居住者在这些卷曲中发现，而不是被规定，各种功能。

There are no separations of floor, wall, and ceiling here. A place that one thought was a floor becomes a chair, a ceiling, a wall from various positions. The floor levels are relative and spatiality is perceived differently according to one’s position. Here, people are distributed three-dimensionally in the space. This is a place like an amorphous landscape with a new experience of various senses of distances. Inhabitants discover, rather than being prescribed, various functionalities in these convolutions.

这个平房不再符合木制建筑的范畴。如果说木制建筑仅仅是由木材制成的东西，那么木材本身就超越了建筑程序，直接成为这座平房中 “人们居住的地方”。它是属于一种类似于建筑之前的原始条件的存在。与其说这只是一个新的建筑，不如说这是一个新的起源，一个新的存在。

This bungalow no longer fits the category of wooden architecture. If wooden architecture is merely something made from wood, then wood itself surpasses the architectural procedures to directly become a “place where people live” in this bungalow. It is of an existence akin to primitive conditions before architecture. Rather than just a new architecture, this is a new origin, a new existence.
