First meeting with Professor Todai and 2000th blog update!

I got home yesterday after 12pm, so this update is a day late.
Thanks to you, this blog has been updated for the 2000th time.
Thank you for reading this every day, clicking "likes" and leaving comments.
I've been able to continue because I can feel the attention from everyone.
I would like to express my sincere gratitude. I look forward to seeing you again next time, as we move towards the 3000th time.
I would like to go.
This is a memorable blog update date, but the content is also memorable.
Minami-san, a leading energy-saving housing critic,
A former associate professor at the University of Tokyo who is a leading expert on thermal environment (amazing that he is the same age as me and is also an associate professor at the University of Tokyo)
Mr. and Mrs. Misawa of M's, who are gurus in the world of wooden houses, and this impressive lineup
We were able to talk at the same time.
I have met the other three many times, but this was my first time meeting Mae-sensei.
That's why I really wanted to meet and talk with him.
Once the lecture began, I was unable to take my eyes off the truly amazing content.
I am not very good at listening to what people say, but
The reason I was able to concentrate so much was because the content was so rich and the presentation was so good.
It's simply a case of amazing technology.
In my opinion, the contents of the lectures by the professors of thermal environment are moving for the general public and students alike.
The presentations by Professor Mae and Professor Iwamae from Kinki University are outstanding.
think.
If you have not heard these two speakers,
If you are thinking about building a house, this is something you should definitely listen to.
How important is insulation? And what about if you do it carelessly?
I truly understand why this is possible, including whether it is even possible to achieve it.
Ever since I read the works of my former professor, I have noticed many similarities between our ways of thinking.
The phrase that particularly stuck in my mind from yesterday's lecture was
- The media is to blame for highlighting architecture that is only good in design.
・Design-only construction that would not be possible in other countries due to the lack of regulations regarding insulation
What is buildable in Japan is partly responsible for the many awards won by Japanese architects.
・Architects who build truly livable, high-quality homes are featured prominently in design magazines.
He's not the typical rock star you'd expect to see.
- Nothing has changed in the last 40 years about what is right in the world of thermal environment.
However, this truth is not properly understood. How to convey it is the problem.
and so on···
There were lots of other really great quotes too.
This is the world's widest angle thermography camera, which costs 2 million yen!
This is the first time you can see the results of taking so many photos of real houses with commentary.
It was truly a luxurious opportunity.
What made Professor Maeda's presentation so great?
"To keep the students awake and to make them understand the importance of a good thermal environment."
Without that feeling, I don't think the presentation would have turned out like that.
In the lecture, he also introduced an experimental house (which was a failure in terms of thermal environment).
Then he added, "The ordinary house next to this one is a much more energy efficient house."
I was surprised to see that a house I had designed was being featured.
At the social gathering after the show, I knew it was presumptuous, but I had so much to say that I
I grabbed a seat forward, asked what I wanted to ask, and said what I wanted to say.
Not only did they look at my property, but they also appeared in the same issue of Architectural Knowledge.
I have written articles before, and they read my articles carefully from cover to cover.
I was also very touched by the very kind comments I received.
My former professor and I are the same age and we both graduated from a thermal environment laboratory.
We only knew each other by name, but I was 22 years old and had been doing research.
Since I couldn't continue, I left the university, and Professor Mae has continued his research ever since.
I have been here since the beginning. I think my former teacher was amazing.
Apparently, from my former teacher's perspective, actually doing practical work seems amazing.
If I had to say, without hesitation, it would be like the relationship between Superintendent Muroi and Detective Aoshima.
It may be easier for the general public to understand.
But, I am glad to meet another person who will have a big impact on my life.
We did it. It was a great day.
