OleScheeren_2015G-_为什么伟大的建筑物需要说故事_
For much of the past century, architecture was under the spell of a famous doctrine . 过去好几个世纪, 建筑物在一条着名的理论魔咒之下,
architecture:n.建筑学;建筑风格;建筑式样;架构; doctrine:n.主义;学说;教义;信条;
'"Form follows function" had become modernity's ambitious manifesto and detrimental straitjacket , as it liberated architecture from the decorative , but condemned it to utilitarian rigor and restrained purpose. 「型随机能」这个理论曾经一度成为当代的伟大宣言 及有害的的紧箍咒, 因为这句话虽让建筑物摆脱了装饰的束缚, 但也同时宣判建筑物走向功利严谨且倍受约束的终点。
ambitious:adj.野心勃勃的;有雄心的;热望的;炫耀的; manifesto:n.宣言;声明;告示; detrimental:adj.不利的;有害的;n.有害的人(或物);不受欢迎的求婚者; straitjacket:n.紧身衣;vt.约束(等于strait-jacket); liberated:adj.不受传统思想束缚的,开放的; v.解放; (liberate的过去式和过去分词) decorative:adj.装饰性的;装潢用的; condemned:adj.已被定罪的;被责难的; utilitarian:adj.功利的;功利主义的;实利的;n.功利主义者; rigor:n.严厉;精确;苛刻;僵硬; restrained:adj.克制的,受限制的;拘谨的;v.抑制;约束;(restrain的过去分词和过去式)
Of course, architecture is about function, but I want to remember a rewriting of this phrase by Bernard Tschumi, and I want to propose a completely different quality. 当然,建筑物与机能有关, 但我想向Bernard Tschumi对这句话的重新改写致意, 并同时提出一个我个人完全不同的见解。
propose:v.建议;提议;求婚;打算;
If form follows fiction, we could think of architecture and buildings as a space of stories -- stories of the people that live there, of the people that work in these buildings. 如果「型随小说」, 我们可以这样想,建筑设计与建筑物是一个空间的故事, 有关居住在那里的人的故事, 有关在里面工作的人的故事,
And we could start to imagine the experiences our buildings create. 我们可以开始想像我们的建筑物创造出来的经历。
In this sense, I'm interested in fiction not as the implausible but as the real, as the reality of what architecture means for the people that live in it and with it. 在这样的概念下,我对小说感兴趣的原因, 不是因为它的虚幻,而是它的真实。 像是,建物风格对那些生活在里面的居民 有甚么意义的那样的真实。
implausible:adj.难以置信的,不像真实的;
Our buildings are prototypes , ideas for how the space of living or how the space of working could be different, and what a space of culture or a space of media could look like today. 我们的建筑物一开始是一些雏形、想法, 它让我们了解生活或工作空间可以有甚么不同, 以及文化与媒体空间现今可以如何展现。

I think of our architecture as organizational structures . 我认为我们的建筑物是一种组织结构,

At their core is indeed structural thinking, like a system: 它们的核心,的确是一种结构思想,像是一个系统:

How can we arrange things in both a functional and experiential way? 我们要如何把事情安排的具有机能性与经验性 ?
