建筑乐与路 Architectural Rock 'n' Roll

我喜欢一个人,一个人行走,一个人彳亍。对于许多人来说,这绝对是无聊可悲的,喜欢生活中热热闹闹的人,更加觉得这种行为是变态的。

我喜欢穿梭在大街小巷,漫步移动在空间中,看着熙来攘往的人群,又或者欣赏建筑空间艺术,体验四周围的环境。头脑放空了,让人来人往的脚步声,谈话声,风声,雨声,交通声,海浪声,树叶的摇摆声等,进入我的脑海里,形成一幅幅记忆的图画。累了,随便找个咖啡厅或餐馆坐下来,来杯咖啡,点些小吃,翻翻杂志,再回顾之前的路程与点点滴滴。这种感觉很奇妙,就好象吸毒一样,会上瘾的。有时候甚至像做爱那样,会达到高潮。为了能够再度拥有这种快感,我都会一而再,再而三地回到该地方,就像瘾君子般每次都忍不住毒瘾,不折手段地把白粉与毒品弄到手。

瘾君子喜欢尝试新毒品,我也一样,喜欢探索新空间与新环境,追溯她的每一则故事与神话。也许就是这个先天性癖好吧,我就开始了这个部落格,名为“建筑鉴赏家”,将我在建筑的乐与路,所看见的一草一叶,以及脑海所剩余的记忆片段,一砖一砖地记录下来。路易斯康曾经与砖块对话,砖告诉了康它自己就想成为拱,康也尊重了物材的本质,而我则希望仔细凝听建筑环境的细诉,把她们的喜怒哀乐带给大家。

我不是一位被训练有素的建筑评论家,也不是在这领域具有渊博学问的建筑历史学家,更没有卓越的语言能力(尤其是英语), 但我坚信是大自然与大环境抚养我们,启发我们。每块砖每片叶都是人类亲密的朋友,我们始终应该与他们交谈,关心他们,爱护他们。

I like being alone, walking alone, walking slowly. For many people, this is absolutely pity bored. For those who enjoying in their busy life,will even think that such behavior is totally abnormal.

I like to shuttle in the streets, meandering in spaces, watching the bustling crowd, enjoying the art of space, and experiencing the surrounding environment. I usually empty my mind, and let the sound of walking footsteps, sound of people chatting, sound of the wind, sound of the rain, sound of the vehicles, sound of the sea waves and the sound of the swaying leaves to enter my mind, to let them form pieces of picture in memory. When I feel exhausted, I will simply find a coffee house or restaurant and sit down, order a cup of coffee or some snacks, take a glance at magazines, and recall back the dribs and drabs of the journey. This kind of feeling is fantastic, as if drug-taking, you will be addicted. Even sometimes akin to sexual intercourse, you will achieve orgasm. In order to be able to have the same pleasure once again, I will go back to that place again and again, just like the druggies cannot endure the torment of drug addiction, they will get the heroin by any means.

Druggies like to try new stuff, same with me. I like to explore new spaces and environment. Perhaps this is my congenital hobby, I, therefore start this blog, given name ‘Architectural Connoisseur’. I wish to record the every grass and leaf I see and the remained fragments of my memory. I want to construct my melodic architectural journey ‘brick by brick’. Louis I. Kahn had a conversation with brick before, "What do you want Brick?", and brick answered Kahn, "I like an Arch.". Kahn shows his respect to the intrinsic quality of the materials, and I hope I can listen well to the softly whispering of the built environment, bring all their emotions to everyone.

I am neither trained as an architectural critic nor an architectural historian that have a wide range of knowledge in this field, and I don’t have a distinction for my languages (especially in English), but I firmly believe that human are raised by nature, enlightened by surrounding environment. Bricks and leaves are our intimate friends. We should always chat with them, care for them and love them.
