随手using architecture to kill architecture

未曾预料并不意味着无法预料。动动脑子:

如果在过去的30个竞赛里你只赢了两个,那一定是有根本性的问题。如果你不做竞赛就能拿项目,那就请在工作上多做研究。

因为装作是一个建筑师并不能使你真的成为一个建筑师。甚至很多时候你并没有意识到你在装。有一次我问一个朋友,反正她赢诺贝尔奖的机会也很小,为什么还要继续做研究做科学家这一行?她的回答是(好像是引用她的导师),关键并不在于生活的奖赏,而是生活本身。选择做一个科学家并不是选择一份职业,而是选择了与研究为伍,早出晚归这样一种看起来枯燥的生活方式。
对建筑师也是一样,选择做建筑师,选择的其实是这种生活方式,一种对工作生活的态度,以及尝试如何从中得到满足。

不论理论家怎么争辩,建筑决不能仅仅基于个人经验。建筑学之所以成为可以被称之为学问,仅仅是因为人的想象力。任何还需要去建造的东西连接过去,但不是关于过去。永远不要做一看三。特别是建筑师,好的建筑师不可能同时是出色的生意人,或者科学家。只有在极少数情况下一个建筑师可以是一个好的教师,因为即使教育的学问远深于建筑学。这些功能区域在大脑里面大概就是相互冲突的。

Just because it's inexplicted doesn't mean it's inexplicable. And it´s never too late to think:If you won only 2 of the last 30 competitions, you have to realize there is something fundamentally wrong. If you are tring to survive without competitions, then please do research,on buildings.

Pretend to be an architect does not make you really become an architect.Maybe you even didn´t realized that you are pretending.Once I asked a friend, if she couldn´t win the nobel prize anyway, why chose to be a scientist. She answered, it´s not the prize of life for her to become a scientist, it´s the life itself: walking、thinking、working…going to lab in the morning, stay in the lab till the night. Choosing being a scientist is choosing the way of living as a scientist. The same applies for architect.Choosing being an architect is choosing living as an architect, it´s not tha fame or power you should be after, it´s the attitude of working and living, and the satisfaction from it.

No matter how the theorists argue, architecture is not based on personal experience. Architecture became a specie only because the human imagination makes it to. Anything yet to build connects the past, but is not about the past.Never want too many at one time. Espcially architects, a good architect can never be a good businessman at the same time, or a good scientist. Only in rare cases can architect be a good teacher as well.The function areas in the brain simply conflict.

If you don´t believe that you are an architect, and if you can´t critizise yourself on the way of being an architect, then you are just using architecture to kill architecture, and then your life.
