friday morning detour

昨天早上,从小印度地铁站要去朋友的公司的时候。走路穿过小印度的巷弄间,早上的街上,没有太多人,就是店家在排列着一排排的蔬果, 或用水泼洗店前的地面, 一些印度人就或站或坐在街边看人/’瞪’人, 一两个,穿者百慕大的老外,悠闲的街上闲晃。。。 霎时间,好像走进另一个空间,街上时不时看到internet cafe 张贴着时限和价钱。。时间的速度 好像在这里慢慢变慢。。这里有一种旅者的氛围, as if i am entering a city within a city..a city i had visited and occasionally revisit in my memory lane..   慢慢的,再走过一条街,i m back into the another city.   A small detour … Continue reading

archi和我的爱恨情仇

同事开始‘鸟兽散’了。。。 工作开始又多了起来。。。 每当工作开始占据日常起居的时间的时候。我就会开始质疑architecture 这个行业。。。(不是architecture, 而是这个行业)   建筑本来是和生活那么贴近的, 每一个空间,其实我们都应该要是用心体会。 用一种对很多人而言,或许过于理想主义的角度,我们应该比一般人更善于煮煮切切,才能了解什么样才算一个好厨房。。。在夏天的夜里,在天台乘凉,甚至来一场outdoor dining, 去感觉晚风的温度,观察月亮出来的方向。。。 懂得 什么样的剧场,除了绝美的音响效果,也可以给人视觉的震撼和感动。。。多深的泳池游起来最惬意。。。什么样的教堂空间让你感觉更接近上帝。。。什么样的光线照在van gogh 的画上,让你心神触动而又不伤害画作。。。   architecture, 就是创造生活里的一点一滴的空间。可是,大多数的我们,每天就这样在忙碌的工作里, 忘记了- 生活。。。 多么讽刺。。   最近一次游泳是几时?最后一次和家人一起坐下来用餐?多久没和 朋友看一场电影?多久没有单纯吹风的闲情?在前一份工作里,甚至曾经有一度觉得,能够在想睡觉的时候就能够睡觉真的就是就是一种幸福。。 ( 我们在忙碌工作前的卑微的期望/奢望/or 绝望???)   我很多的朋友,已经离开了这个圈子, 有的还是十分出色的designer。我听过有些人,称他们是architecture里的‘逃兵’ 。 我却觉得,他们只是有逃出去‘过活‘的勇气!bravo!   我没有逃走的勇气, 至少现在没有。。。 那么让我尽力的,好好的尝试,生活。。。
