一本书常常比一个展览所起的作用更为显著和长久,虽然我常常更换书架上的书。但是,有三本书却一直放在那里,那就是由英国建筑师兼理论家尼尔,林奇(Neil Leach)和清华建筑学院徐卫国教授共同编著的《涌现-学生建筑设计作品》(2006)《涌现-青年建筑师作品》(2006)和《快进.热点.智囊组》(2004)。这三本书都是先后在“中国国际建筑艺术双年展”期间同步出版的,实际上它也是那个展览的一部分。最先给我印象的是2004年出版的《快进.热点.智囊组》,它把那次首次来到中国的外国先锐的数码建筑设计参展作品几乎都收进了书中,也就是说,在展览结束之后,你仍然可以慢慢地欣赏和研究那些建筑师和研究小组的成果,从中获得启示和把握未来建筑的方向。 A book is often more significant and long-lasting than an exhibition, although I often change the book on the shelf. However, there are three books that have always been there: the “Emerging-Student Architectural Design Works” (2006) edited by British architect and theorist Neil Leach and Tsinghua Institute of Architecture Xu Weiguo. Emerging - Works by Young Architects (2006) and “Fast Forwards. Hotspots. Think Tanks” (2004). These three books were simultaneously published during the “China International Biennale of Architecture Art”. In fact, it is also part of that exhibition. The first thing that impressed me was the “Fast Forward, Hotspots, and Think Tanks Group,” which was published in 2004. It included almost all foreign Xianrui digital architectural designs that came to China for the first time. After the exhibition is over, you can still slowly admire and study the achievements of those architects and research groups, gain insights from them and grasp the direction of future buildings.
