A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
体系结构
Architecture
All the revision in the world will not save a bad first draft: for the architecture of the thing comes, or fails to come, in the first conception, and revision only affects the detail and ornament, alas!
世界上所有的修改都不能挽救一份糟糕的初稿，因为事物的结构在最初的构思中就已经形成，或者还没有形成，修改只会影响细节和装饰，唉!
But I feel truly wowed by the architecture and the meaning of the architecture if you get lost in it and think about the man hours in the smallest little chapel, and the love involved. God it's fantastic.
但如果你迷失在建筑中，想想那个在最小的小教堂里度过的时光，以及其中包含的爱，我真的会被建筑和建筑的意义所震撼。上帝是奇妙的。
People can inhabit anything. And they can be miserable in anything and ecstatic in anything. More and more I think that architecture has nothing to do with it. Of course, that's both liberating and alarming.
人可以居住在任何地方。他们可以在任何事情上痛苦，在任何事情上狂喜。我越来越觉得建筑与之无关。当然，这既是一种解脱，也是一种警示。
I love building spaces: architecture, furniture, all of it, probably more than fashion. The development procedure is more tactile. It's about space and form and it's something you can share with other people.
我喜欢建筑空间:建筑、家具等等，可能比时尚更喜欢。开发过程更具触感。它是关于空间和形式的，是你可以与他人分享的东西。
As a woman, I'm expected to want everything to be nice and to be nice myself. A very English thing. I don't design nice buildings - I don't like them. I like architecture to have some raw, vital, earthy quality.
作为一个女人，我希望一切都好，自己也要好。非常英式的东西。我不设计漂亮的建筑——我不喜欢它们。我喜欢建筑有一些原始的、重要的、朴实的特质。
For many years, I have lived uncomfortably with the belief that most planning and architectural design suffers for lack of real and basic purpose. The ultimate purpose, it seems to me, must be the improvement of mankind.
多年来，我一直生活在不舒服的信念，大多数规划和建筑设计遭受缺乏真实和基本的目的。在我看来，最终的目的必须是改善人类。
Architects in the past have tended to concentrate their attention on the building as a static object. I believe dynamics are more important: the dynamics of people, their interaction with spaces and environmental condition.
在过去，建筑师倾向于将他们的注意力集中在作为一个静态对象的建筑上。我认为动态更重要:人的动态，他们与空间和环境条件的互动。
No architect troubled to design houses that suited people who were to live in them, because that would have meant building a whole range of different houses. It was far cheaper and, above all, timesaving to make them identical.
没有建筑师会费心设计出适合人们居住的房子，因为这意味着要建造一系列不同的房子。这样做要便宜得多，而且最重要的是，可以节省时间。
The traditional notion of an architect having a vision of a building and then drawing it either on paper or on a computer and then constructing it isn't really how architecture works, and in reality, the computer has a lot of influence on design.
传统的观念是，建筑师对一座建筑有一个愿景，然后把它画在纸上或电脑上，然后建造它，这并不是真正的建筑工作原理，事实上，电脑对设计有很大的影响。
If teaching has any purpose, it is to implant true insight and responsibility. Education must lead us from irresponsible opinion to true responsible judgement. It must lead us from chance and arbitrariness to rational clarity and intellectual order.
如果教学有任何目的，那就是灌输真正的洞察力和责任感。教育必须引导我们从不负责任的观点走向真正负责任的判断。它必须引导我们从偶然和武断走向理性的清晰和理智的秩序。
The long path from material through function to creative work has only one goal: to create order out of the desperate confusion of our time. We must have order, allocating to each thing it's proper place and giving to each thing is due according to it's nature.
从物质到功能再到创造性工作的漫长道路只有一个目标:从我们这个时代绝望的混乱中创造秩序。我们必须有秩序，按部就班，按部就班，按部就班。
Let us guide our students over the road of discipline from materials, through function, to creative work. Let us lead them into the healthy world of primitive building methods, where there was meaning in every stroke of an axe, expression in every bite of chisel.
让我们引导我们的学生从材料、功能到创造性工作的学科之路。让我们带领他们进入原始建筑方法的健康世界，在那里，每一斧的一击都有意义，每一口凿子都有表达。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
Architecture is the very mirror of life. You only have to cast your eyes on buildings to feel the presence of the past, the spirit of a place; they are the reflection of society.
建筑是生活的镜子。你只需把目光投向建筑物，就能感受到过去的存在，一个地方的精神;他们是社会的反映。
Architecture is the learned game, correct and magnificent, of forms assembled in the light.
建筑是学习的游戏，正确和宏伟的形式，组装在光。
And just as we acquaint ourselves with materials, just as we must understand functions, so we must become familiar with the psychological and spiritual factors of our day. No cultural activity is possible otherwise; for we are dependent on the spirit of our time.
就像我们熟悉物质一样，就像我们必须了解功能一样，我们也必须熟悉我们今天的心理和精神因素。否则就不可能有文化活动;因为我们依赖于我们时代的精神。
A city building, you experience when you walk; a suburban building, you experience when you drive.
一座城市的建筑，你走的时候体验;一个郊区的建筑，当你开车的时候，你会有一种身临其境的感觉。
Designed by architects with honorable intentions but hands of palsy.
由建筑师设计，意图高尚，但手瘫痪。
