I think the best architecture comes from a synthesis of all the elements that separately comprise a building: the structure that holds it up; the services that allow it to function; its ecology; the quality of natural light; the symbolism of the form; the relationship of the building to the skyline or the streetscape; and, perhaps most importantly, the client's vision and the user's needs.
我認為最好的建筑來自于所有單獨構(gòu)成建筑的元素綜合:支撐它的結(jié)構(gòu);使其運轉(zhuǎn)的服務(wù);它的生態(tài);自然光的質(zhì)量;形式的象征意義;建筑與天際線或街景的關(guān)系;也許最重要的是,客戶的愿景和用戶的需求。
Architecture should speak of its time and place, but yearn for timelessness.
建筑應(yīng)該講述其時代和地點,但渴望永恒。
