EXPLANATION
このプロジェクトでは、造園家への外構設計の設計協力という形で参加させていただきました。協力元の建築家からの要望で、残土（建設発生土）を外に出さず敷地内の造成に使うことが求められました。慣れない作業である造成の凹凸の立米計算を行うのは大変でしたが、良い経験になりました。プロジェクトの途中で造園家の考え方に触れることができたのも、非常に良い経験でした。
In this project, it was a great experience to learn about the ideas of a landscape architect. Talking with the landscape architect, I found it very interesting that their sense of time in design is very different from that of architects and interior designers.
In architecture and interior design, the project is often considered complete when the building is finished. But in landscape design, they think about how plants will grow and how the land will change over time. Also, the formation of land and stones takes millions of years, which makes their work very grand.
We usually design buildings and interiors, but by working in different fields, we want to develop the ability to see design from multiple perspectives.
