45.It’s been missing in much of the architecture because we think architecture is the realm of the neutered, the realm of the kind of a state that has no opinion,
很多建筑都缺少这种精神 因为我们认为建筑是一个中立的领域 一个没有看法的领域
46.that has no value.

74.And of course, we are all about the struggle of emotions.
我们都在情绪中挣扎

它是一个语言，但不是一种能被简化为 一些问题百出的文字的语言
82.Too many buildings that you see outside that are so banal tell you a story, but the story is very short.
外面有太多平庸的建筑 它诉说故事，故事很短
83.Which says, “We have no story to tell you.”
它说“我无话可说”
84.(Laughter) So the important thing actually, is to introduce the actual architectural dimensions, which might be totally inexplicable in words.
（笑声） 重要的是 带进一种难以言喻的 建筑次元
85.Because they operate in proportions, in materials, in light.
这语言是以比例、面积 材质、光线组成的
86.They connect themselves into various sources, into a kind of complex vector matrix that isn’t really frontal but is really embedded in the lives,
它们以不同元素组成 像一种复杂的矢量矩阵 它不是平铺直述 但深入我们的生活
87.and in the history of a city, and of a people.
与一个城市的历史，居民的历史
88.So again, the notion that a building should just be explicit I think is a false notion, which has reduced architecture into banality.

手绘和电子计算
90.Of course, what would we be without computers?

我们依赖电子计算机来实践许多想法
92.But the computer should not just be the glove of the hand, the hand should really be the driver of the computing power.

94.though we don’t have to be mystical about it, we realize that the hand has been given us by forces that are beyond our own autonomy.
虽然我们不需要故作神秘 我们知道手是由 一种超越我们能力的力量所赐予
95.And I think when I draw drawings which may imitate the computer, but are not computer drawings, drawings that can come from sources
我用手描绘的时候 它有可能在模拟计算机，但它仍不同与计算机所绘 它是来自于
96.that are completely not known, not normal, not seen, Yet the hand — and that’s what I really, to all of you who are working — how can we make the computer respond to our hand
一种未见，未知，无解的力量 我想告诉在这个领域工作的你们 如何让计算机根据手来描绘
97.rather than the hand responding to the computer.
而不是手根据计算机来描绘
98.I think that’s part of what the complexity of architecture is.
我想这也是建筑复杂的一部分
99.Because certainly we have gotten used to the propaganda that the simple is the good. But I don’t believe it.
因为我们都太习惯于 简单为上的束缚啊。但我不这么想
100.Listening to all of you, the complexity of thought, the complexity of layers of meaning is overwhelming.
听你们演讲，这些复杂的思考 这些意义的多重层次是惊人的
101.And I think we shouldn’t shy away in architecture, You know, brain surgery, atomic theory, genetics, economics are complex complex fields.
我们不该在建筑上逃避 脑科手术、原子论 遗传学、经济学 都是一些非常复杂的领域
102.There is no reason that architecture should shy away and present this illusory world of the simple.

103.It is complex. Space is complex.
世界是复杂的。空间是复杂的。
104.Space is something that folds out of itself into completly new worlds.

106.And yet, our lives are complex.
我们的生活是复杂的
107.Our emotions are complex.
我们的情绪是复杂的
108.Our intellectual desires are complex.
我们的智趣是复杂的
109.So I do believe that architecture as I see it needs to mirror that complexity in every single space that we have, in every intimacy that we posses.
我相信建筑应该反应那些 环绕我们的复杂 在我们所有的亲密空间
110.Of course that means that architecture is political.
这代表着建筑是政治的
111.The political is not an enemy of architecture.
政治不是建筑的敌人
112.The [unclear] is the city. It’s all of us together.
政治是城市，是我们所有人
113.And I’ve always believed that the act of architecture, even a private house, when somebody else will see it, is a political act.
我往往相信建筑本身 就算是私人住宅，当有人见到它，便成为一个政治行为
114.Because it will be visible to others.
因为他人也可以看见
115.And we live in a world which is connecting us more and more.
住在一个彼此越来越有关联的世界
116.So again, the evasion of that sphere which has been so endemic to that that sort of pure architecture, the autonomous architecture that is just an abstract object
逃避这个层面 而普遍的选择一种纯粹建筑 那种看上去像个抽象物件，出于自发的建筑，
117.has never appealed to me.
我从来不感兴趣
118.And I do believe that this interaction with the history, with history that is often very difficult, to grapple with it, to create a position that is beyond our normal expectations and to create a critique.
我相信与历史产生的相互作用 和历史对话是困难的 尝试掌握它，创造一个 超越一般预设的立场，成为一种评判
119.Because architecture is also the asking of questions.
因为建筑不只是给答案
120.It’s not only the giving of answers.
同时也在发问
121.It’s also, just like life, the asking of questions.
像人生一样。
122.Therefore it is important that it be real.
重要的是保持真实
123.You know we can simulate almost anything.
今日我们几乎可以模拟所有东西
124.But the one thing that can be ever simulated is the human heart, the human soul.
但有一件事是永远不能模拟的 便是人心，便是人的灵魂
125.And architecture is so closely intertwined with it because we are born somewhere and we die somewhere.
建筑和它们息息相关 因为我们生于建筑，死于建筑
126.So the reality of architecture is visceral. It’s not intellectual.
真正的建筑出自内心，而不是来自学识
127.It’s not something that comes to us from books and theories.
不是来自书本或理论
128.It’s the real, that we touch, the door, the window, the threshold, the bed.
是我们可触碰的真实，一扇门，一扇窗 门槛，床
129.Such prosaic objects. And yet, I try, in every building, to take that virtual world, which is so enigmatic and so rich, and create something in the real world.
这些平凡的物件 我在每个作品中尝试把这个 深奥又多元的虚拟世界 带进真实世界中
130.Create a space for an office, a space of sustainability that really works between that virtuality and yet can be realized as something real.
创造一个办公环境 一个永续空间 存在于虚拟世界中 也能在真实世界中存在
