イサム・ノグチ、谷口吉郎設計《旧ノグチ・ルーム》

「ノグチ・ルーム」は、1951年に建築家谷口吉郎と彫刻家イサム・ノグチの協働によって三田キャンパスにつくられた、第二研究室棟1階の庭と彫刻を伴う談話室である。この建築空間は2003年の南館建設に伴い解体され、南館3階のルーフテラスへ、形を変えて一部移築された。移築後の「旧ノグチ・ルーム」は、ニューヨークのイサム・ノグチ財団および庭園美術館への《丸椅子》ほか家具類の貸出を契機として、2007年度に全面的な修復が行われた。修復時の調査により、ノグチが用いた、当時日本で一般的に使われていた素材は、現在では入手しにくいものであることが判明。可能な限りオリジナルと合う素材を探し、修復が進められた。また、ルーフテラスに移築されたことで直射日光が多く差し込むようになり、家具の劣化が進行していることが確認された。そこで、2011年度には家具専用カバーを設置し、紫外線カットフィルムを全窓面に取り付けることで保存状態が飛躍的に改善。その後は年に一度専門家による状態の点検、清掃、保護ワックスの塗布等、継続的なケアを実施している。現在は通常内部非公開としつつ、定期的に公開の機会を設け、利用者には使用上の注意点を記したガイドラインを明示。保存と活用のバランスをとりながら、建築空間の継承に取り組んでいる。

中西夏之《男子総カタログ '63》

青写真用感光紙を複数枚繋いだ約12mの本作は、ハイレッド・センター(以下、HRC)による「シェルター計画」(1964年1月26/27日、帝国ホテル旧館で実施されたイベント。招待者の身体を計測・記録し、等身大「シェルター」を販売することを目的とした)において撮影されたHRC結社員・中西夏之、赤瀬川原平、和泉達の背面写真を、のちに中西が等身大でプリントした作品。土方巽アーカイヴ(アート・センター内)に紐づくかたちで慶應義塾にもたらされた。「土方巽+中西夏之『背面』」展(2012年、アート・センター)に際し修復が計画された。長尺についだ紙をひろげた形状の本作は、展示でかかる負荷によって紙の傷みが深刻であったが、作家関係者の名前が入った当て紙がなされるなど、制作当時から展示の度に手当てがされてきた形跡が見られた。制作時の風合いや資料的価値を残すためにも、外形的には現状維持の方針をとることにした。展覧会前には、テープ跡の除去および繋いだ長尺紙面の損傷部・接合部に対し和紙と生麩糊を用いて展示に耐えうる補修・補強を施した。また展示後には、中性紙の専用保管容器を新調し、長期的な作品保存の手立てがとられた。

OKUMA Ujihiro and SUZUKI Chokichi, Miniature Lighthouse, Gifted in Celebration of Fukuzawa Yukichi's 60th Birthday

This miniature lighthouse was donated and produced to celebrate Yukichi Fukuzawa's 60th birthday. The sculptor Ujihiro Okuma, a leading person of Western-style sculpture in the Meiji era, made the mold for this work. Its casting was done by Chokichi Suzuki, the metalworker who inherited metal casting techniques from the Edo period. This work’s significance lies in its unique expression of the Meiji era, where Western techniques were comined with traditional Japanese ones. The body of the lighthouse has a five-layered pattern made from two different types of alloy. The rough waters in the lower part are silver, crashing against elaborate rocks of copper. These indicate Okuma's mastery of dynamic expression and Suzuki's exquisite craftsmanship.Although the work had remained damaged for a long time, its restoration started to prepare for the exhibition "Fukuzawa Yukichi: Living the Future" (2009, Tokyo National Museum and others). Each process was carefully followed through with the help of its blueprint and photographic documentation (printed materials from the Meiji era) attached to the work. With exhibition in mind, the basic policy of the conservation was to reconstruct the appearance of the missing and deformed metal parts without seeking to match the original materials. The parts were reconstructed with reference to accompanying documents, using materials easy to obtain and work with such as brass and polyester resin. Its mechanical parts were unrepaired, their colors left in the state of metal oxidation due to aging.

NOGUCHI Isamu and TANIGUCHI Yoshiro, The Ex-Noguchi Room [A common room in the Second Faculty Building]

The “Noguchi Room” was a common room on the first floor of the Second Faculty Building on Mita Campus created in 1951, designed through a collaboration between the sculptor lsamu Noguchi (1904-88) and the architect Yoshiro Taniguchi (1904-79).The Second Faculty Building was dismantled for the construction of the South Building in 2003, and was partially relocated to the roof terrace on the third-floor of the South Building in a different form. The "Ex-Noguchi Room" underwent a major restoration in 2007, when the stool and other furniture were loaned to the Isamu Noguchi Foundation and the Garden Museum in New York. Research conducted during the restoration revealed that the materials used by Noguchi, which were commonly used in Japan in the 1950s, are now hard to find. So, the materials matching the original were sought. In addition, it was confirmed that the furniture was deteriorating due to direct sunlight from the relocation to the roof terrace. Therefore, furniture covers were made to protect them from sunlight. Also, UV-blocking film was affixed to the window. These countermeasures slow down deterioration, and are very effective for preserving the works.Since then, the furniture has been under continuous care, with experts inspecting its condition once a year, cleaning it, and applying protective wax. At present, the Ex-Noguchi Room is usually closed to the public, but it is periodically opened to the public and users are given guidelines on how to use it. We are striving to inherit architectural spaces while maintaining a balance between preservation and utilization.
