1.So, what I’d like to talk about is something that was very dear to Karen’s heart, which is, how do we discover what is really particular about a project?
我将要说的是 非常接近于Karen，那就是 我们怎么能真正让一件工程变得独一无二？
2.How do you discover the uniqueness of a project, as unique as a person, because it seems to me that finding this uniqueness has to do with dealing with the whole force of globalization:
怎样才能发现想每个人一样独一无二的工程的独特性， 因为在我看来，发现这种独特性 和全球化的趋势有关：
3.that the particular is central to finding the uniqueness of place and the uniqueness of a program in a building.
最重要的是发现地点的独特性 和项目的独特性，这需要通过对于建筑的研究后得出。
4.And so I’ll take you to Wichita, Kansas, where I was asked some years ago to do a science museum on a site, right downtown, by the river.
我向你们介绍位于堪萨斯州的Whichita， 在几年前我被要求建造一座自然博物馆 在靠近商业区的河边。
5.And I thought the secret of the site is to make the building of the river part of the river.
我认为这个地点的独特在于使建筑成为河的一部分。
6.Unfortunately though, the site was separated from the river by McLean’s Boulevard.
但不幸的是，这个地点和河之间被McLean大道隔开了。
7.So I suggested, let’s reroute McLean’s.
所以我建议调整McLean大道。
8.And that gave birth instantly to Friends of McLean’s Boulevard.
这就导致了McLean大道的再生。
9.(Laughter) And it took six months to reroute it.
（笑声） 调整这条道路花费了六个月的时间。
10.The first image I showed the building committee was this astronomic observatory of Jantar Mantar in Jaipur, because I talked about, what makes a building a building of science?
我首先给建筑评审团们展示的是 位于Jaipur的Jantar Mantar天文观测台， 因为我讨论的是什么使这个建筑成为科学的建筑。
11.And it seemed to me that this structure, complex, rich and yet totally rational, it’s an instrument — had something to do with science,
依我看来是它的结构，复杂度，丰富度，以及 完全可以理解的，它是一个和科学相关的工具，
12.and somehow building for science should be different and unique and speak of that.
在某种程度上科学相关的建筑应该是独特的。
13.And so my first sketch after I left was to say, let’s cut the channel and make an island, and make an island building.
所以我最初的设想是， 切断河道，形成一个岛，最终构造一个岛上的建筑。
14.And I got all excited, and came back and they sort of looked at me in dismay and said, an island?
我感到很兴奋，来告诉他们， 他们却失望得看着我，说，一个岛？
15.This used to be an island, Ackerman Island, and we filled in the channel during the Depression to create jobs.
这里曾经有一个岛，Ackerman岛， 但在大萧条时为了创造就业机会填平了河道。
16.(Laughter) And so the process began and they said, you can’t put it all on an island, some of it has to be on the mainland because we don’t want to turn our back to the community.
（笑声） 所以当这项工程开始时他们说 你不能全建在一个岛上， 一部分必须要在大陆上，因为 我们不想让社会倒退。
17.And there emerged a design, the gallery sort of forming an island, and you could walk through them or on the roof, and there were all kinds of exciting features.
然后就产生了一个设计，像形成一个岛一样的会展， 你可以从里面或房顶经过， 但还是会有很多令人兴奋的景观。
18.You could come in through the landside buildings, walk through the galleries into playgrounds — there’s a landscape.
你可以经过陆地上的建筑， 通过会馆到达平台-这里能看到景色。
19.If you were cheap you could walk on top of a bridge to the roof, peek in the exhibits and then get totally seduced, come back and pay the five dollars admission.
你要是没钱的话可以通过桥走向屋顶， 看到景观后往回， 走回来然后付五美元门票钱。
20.(Laughter) And the client was happy, well sort of happy, because we were four million dollars over the budget, but essentially happy.
（笑声） 观众们很开心， 因为我们发自内心得开心，尽管比预算多了四百万美元。
21.But I was still troubled, and I was troubled because I felt this was capricious.
但我还有一点困扰，因为我觉得变化有些多了。
22.It was complex, but there was something capricious about its complexity.
这是复杂的，但在复杂之外又多了些变化。
23.It was, what I would say, compositional complexity and I felt that if I had to fulfill what I talked about, a building for science, there had to be some kind of a generating idea —
这个，我说是，结构上的复杂 并且我觉得如果要实现我讲的东西， 阐述科学的建筑，需要有一些创新的观点=
24.some kind of a generating geometry.
比如一些新颖的几何图形。
25.And this gave birth to the idea of having toroidal generating geometry, with its center — one with its center deep in the earth for the land-side building,
这就产生了环形结构， 围绕着的中心在很深的地下，
26.and a toroid with its center in the sky for the island building.
通过环形结构到达岛上建筑的上面。
27.A toroid, for those who don’t know, is the surface of a doughnut, or for some of us a bagel.
圆环，对于不了解的人来说， 像是甜甜圈的表面，或者是百吉饼。
28.And out of this idea started spinning off many, many kinds of variations of different plans and possibilities, and then the plan itself evolved in relationship to the exhibits,
在这个想法外又产生了 许多不同计划和可能性的变形 然后规划本身围绕着展览形成，
29.and you see the intersection of the plan with the toroidal geometry.
你可以看到规划中环形结构的交叉部分。
30.And finally the building — this is the model.
最后是整个建筑-这是个模型。

31.And when there were complaints about budget, I said, well, it’s worth doing the island because you get twice for your money — reflections.
每当有人抱怨预算时，我说， 因为镜像的原因你可以实现两倍的钱的效果，所以值得建造这个岛。
32.And here’s the building as it opened, with a channel overlooking downtown, and as seen from downtown, and the bike route’s going right through the building,
这是当建筑刚开张的时候， 有一个通道可以俯瞰市中心，看下去的时候 自行车道正好穿过建筑，
33.so those traveling the river would see the exhibits and be drawn to the building.
所以路过河的人能到看到展览并被吸引到建筑中。
34.The toroidal geometry made for very efficient building.
环形结构使得建筑非常有效。
35.Every beam in this building is the same radius, all laminated wood.

36.Every wall, every concrete wall, is resisting the stresses and supporting the building.
每一个墙和水泥墙，都承受着压力并支撑着建筑。

44.and to see yet another museum with information, it would make them just unable to digest.
当又要参观一个充满信息的博物馆时 会感到难以消化的
45.And so I made a counter-proposal.

然后你会到达亮光的北方，充满生机。
53.Well, they said, people won’t understand — they’ll think it’s a discotheque, you can’t do that.
但是，他们说，人们不会懂的- 他们认为这是一个迪斯科舞厅，你不能这样做。
54.And they shelved the project. And it sat there for 10 years.
所以他们否决了这个设计，耽搁了10年。
55.And then one day Ed Spiegel, from Los Angeles, who had lost his three-year-old son at Auschwitz, came, saw the model, wrote the check, and it got built 10 years later.
直到有一天洛杉矶的Ed Spiegel， 他在奥斯维辛集中营中失去了他3岁的儿子， 当他看到这个模型，马上写了支票，所以这个建筑终于能够在10年之后得以建造。
56.So many years after that, in 1998, I was on one of my monthly trips to Jerusalem, and I got a call from the foreign ministry saying,

无论如何，美丽是一种适合 美丽告诉我们自然环境的各种力量 实现的-我们的人类环境-为了这点。
133.20 years ago, in a conference Richard and I were at together, I wrote a poem, which seems to me to still hold for me today.
