“tip the world over on its side and everything loose will land in los angeles,” -frank lloyd wright


came to the Schindler House designed by Rudolf Schindler built in 1921 to check out "everything loose will land" -1970s art and architecture in los angeles- exhibition.

「1970年代のロスアンジェルスの芸術と建築展」というのをシンドラー・ハウスでやっているのを思い出して、行ってみた。シンドラー・ハウスはルドルフ・シンドラーが設計して1921年に建てらたシンドラーの自宅兼スタジオだったところ。



felt like we were in a traditional japanese house except we didn't have to take off our shoes.

日本家屋の影響がまったくないとは言わせませんぜ。狭々しくて何か落ち着く。

stopped by at Power Plant to say hello to YE and J and to pick up parts for spike from Matt Olsen. wasn't sure how the parts from Matt in south dakota ended up here on melrose avenue. but thank you, Matt O! have a safe ride and we'll see you soon!

帰る途中でPower PlantのJから連絡があって、サウス・ダコタ州のMットOルセンから預かっているものがあるというので取りに寄った。Mットからスパイク用のパーツのサプライズ・プレゼント・・・でもどうしてサウス・ダコタのMットからのパーツがメルローズのPower Plantにあるんだろう。しかもMット、もうすぐ南カリフォルニア来るのに。謎。

shinya admires YE for keeping on trying and creating something new. it has been quite some time since YE started Power Plant and has been established his own style since then. "endurance makes us stronger and better!" shinya says.

なんだかんだ言ってパワープラントのYEはかなりしつこく頑張っている。自分のスタイルを守りつつ、手を抜かずに新しいものを作り続けるというのは言うほど簡単なことではない。継続は力なり。そして、続けていくことで腕も上がるし、失敗も少なくなる。-木村氏談

"The Schindler House, also known as the House or Schindler Chace house, is a house in West Hollywood, California, Coordinates: 34°05′11″N 118°22′20″W / 34.086362°N 118.372235°W / 34.086362; -118.372235 designed by architect Rudolf Schindler.

The Schindler House was such a departure from existing residential architecture because of what it did not have; there is no conventional living room, dining room or bedrooms in the house. The residence was meant to be a cooperative live/work space for two young families. The concrete walls and sliding glass panels made novel use of industrial materials, while the open floor plan integrated the external environment into the residence, setting a precedent for California architecture in particular."

There is nothing like the study of the great prolific creative people to re-energize and inspire the creativity in us all. As a graphic designer, learning from Shinya has become part of my own creative process.

As always, thanks for the insights. ☺
