A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
体系结构
Architecture
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。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
Architecture is basically a container of something. I hope they will enjoy not so much the teacup, but the tea.
架构基本上是某个东西的容器。我希望他们享受的不是茶杯,而是茶。
Modern architecture does not mean the use of immature new materials; the main thing is to refine materials in a more human direction.
现代建筑并不意味着使用不成熟的新材料;主要的事情是在更人性化的方向上提炼材料。
The whole purpose of those attacks was to drive those contractors out. Lots of them had to leave. They were terrified.
这些攻击的全部目的是把那些承包商赶出去。很多人不得不离开。他们被吓坏了。
Form follows function.
形式服从功能。
Every time a student walks past a really urgent, expressive piece of architecture that belongs to his college, it can help reassure him that he does have that mind, does have that soul.
每当一个学生经过一幢属于他的学院的非常紧急、富有表现力的建筑时,它都能帮助他确信,他确实有那样的头脑,有那样的灵魂。
