2018年已经过去,这一年您在设计方面有哪些新的思考和感悟?
Every day, the architect’s brain is always changing. Any design that I did yesterday actually this morning it did change. I go to bed, I wake up. And it’s a different design, it’s a different world, every single day is different.
So whatever I designed yesterday is nothing to do with what I’m gonna to design tomorrow. Everything above all. So that’s the beauty of my profession. Every single day is a new experience.Every single day is a new adventure. So what am I gonna be designing tomorrow. Who knows? And I am looking forward to it.
设计师的思想每天都在发生变化。我睡着,醒来,我在昨天做的任何设计,到了今天早上就会有所变化。 设计是不一样的,世界是不一样的,每一天都是不一样的。
因此,我昨天的设计和明天的设计毫无关系。任何事都是这样,这是设计师职业的美好之处。每天都是新的体验,每天都是新的冒险。我明天会设计什么,谁知道呢?我也在期待着。
您用什么办法让自己保持旺盛的创作力?
I get inspiration from tradition, from culture. It is not the same thing to design a building in London, well, it has own culture, it has own people, it has own tradition, than to design a building in Dubai, than to design a building in China.
Every building, every building relates to the place where it has been. So very very quickly, the inspiration comes from the place. The inspiration comes from the culture. And it’s slowly. It develops into a building responds to the streets, to the city, to the heights that the government gives you. It’s slowly everything comes up together. But after that, after you respond to the culture and all of those items, there is an element of talent, which is what you need to have. Architects need to have the talent to have a vision, to make sure that your building is something special, and are not something that anybody could have designed.
我的灵感来自传统,来自文化。要在伦敦设计大楼跟在迪拜和在中国设计大楼是不一样的,因为它有它自己的文化,有它自己的居民,有它自己的传统。
每座大楼都和它所在的地方联系紧密。因此,灵感首先来自于建筑所在的地方,来自文化。慢慢地,这座建筑就能和它所在的街道、城市、政府允许的建筑高度相互呼应,慢慢地,所有元素都整合到了一起。但是,除此之外,除了与文化和其它元素相互呼应,也需要有设计天分,设计师需要有天分,有天分才能有创意,才能设计出别致的建筑,才能不泯然众人矣。
您一直非常关注环保,您如何看待未来的可持续发展之路?
It is a repsonsibility. You, me, everybody, my grandmother, my father, your uncle, your sons, everybody has to be responsible.We have to make the world better. I want to be in this planet for thousands of years. But if we continue designning the same way that we are designning, that may change the planet. The life on the planet is going to get smaller and smaller and smaller. It is a responsibility, not just professional responsibility, it’s a moral responsibility, it’s a hard responsibility for everybody.
可持续性是一份责任。您、我、我的祖母、我的父亲、你的叔叔、你的儿子,每个人都有一份责任。我们要让地球变得更好。我希望这个星球存续数千年。但是如果我们继续当前的设计方式,可能会改变地球命运,地球上的生命将会越来越少,越来越少。这种责任不仅是专业人士的责任,更是一份道德责任,是每个人的重要责任。
壁纸是相对比较环保的材料,您认为壁纸对于空间有哪些作用?
Wallpaper is a fantastic material because it’s a very cost-effective way to when you have a white room, wrap it around on and in a second, it changes. It makes you feel happy. It makes you feel calm. It makes you feel excited. It can bring colors within seconds. So wallpaper is a very quick and reasonably priced way to actually change a room.
壁纸是很不错的装饰材料,因为它装饰空间性价比极高。如果有一个白色房间,贴上壁纸,房间马上就变了样子。壁纸会让人感到幸福,平静,兴奋,可以在短时间内给房间带来多种色彩。因此,壁纸是迅速可以改变房间面貌的材料,价格又十分合理。
您主持设计过很多大型建筑项目和室内设计,通常怎样运用壁纸?
The projects, I can tell you about the projects we have in China right now. We have projects in Beijing, Shenyang, Xian, many different cities. And we use in such a way that I don’t want the wallpaper to overwhelm you. I don’t want it to be the center of attraction. I want put a wallpaper that calms you down. I want to put a wallpaper when you come and you sit down with your wife and talk to your children, the wallpaper is giving you hug. It gives you baobao as I call it. It gives you hug and makes you welcome. It is the wallpaper that plays with the light. It’s the wallpaper that makes you feel calm because that’s what you want to do when you come to your family. Feel calm. Wallpaper for me is not the one that ah! You know I am here. You know. Its aim is to calm you down. And that’s what I offer to my Chinese clients. Different way. You see if I do a KTV, KTV you know is opposite, bang, you know fun. But when I you do a residential, I always go wallpaper that calms you down.
我可以介绍一下我们在中国正在做的项目,它们分布在北京、沈阳、西安等城市。我们采用的方式是,壁纸不应该成为空间的负担,我不希望壁纸吸引太多关注。壁纸营造的空间应该是能让人平静下来,当你来到这,和你的妻子坐在一起,和孩子交谈时,壁纸能给您拥抱感,它会给你,如同我跟同事常说的“抱抱”,让您感到受到欢迎。壁纸营造的空间,应该让你感觉到友好。壁纸和灯光相互映衬,让你感到平静,这才是你和家人在一起时希望获得的感受,感到平静。对我而言,壁纸并非让人一惊:你看,我在这。相反,壁纸应该让人平静下来,这是我为我的中国客户打造的。采用的方式有差异。如果我设计KTV,在KTV里需要的是娱乐,但在住宅里,我经常使用让人感到平静的壁纸。
您之前有接触过德国玛堡壁纸吗?有哪些印象?
Of course I do. I use it many times before.
当然。我以前多次用过(德国玛堡)壁纸。
One of the reasons that I like this particular company is because it takes risk. I like companies don’t say that well, China like this and I give you this. Spain like this, I give you this. Germany like this and I give you this. No. They take risks. They hire professional, talented architects, designers. It’s not just themselves designing the wallpaper. They go away and they hire people that like this, Zaha Hadid, for example. The talented people who think in a different way. They said you give me your feeling because you understand people. Architects, we design all over the world. I know what you like, I know what they like. We have a different vision of what we like. And what I like about this company again is that they hire us to design for you, to give us our knowledge, our feeling, and to try to be better.
我喜欢这家公司(德国玛堡)的原因之一是它敢于冒险。我喜欢这样的公司,不会认为中国喜欢这种产品,我就生产这种产品;西班牙喜欢这种产品,我就生产这种产品;德国喜欢这种产品,我就生产这种产品。他们不这样做,他们敢于冒险。他们跳出限制的框框雇佣了这样的人,比如扎哈·哈迪德。他们聘请他们聘请有不同思路的设计师。他们认为设计师可以提供不同的设计感受,是因为他们能理解人们。设计师们在全球各地做设计,了解不同群体的爱好,对人们喜欢的内容有不同的看法。我喜欢这家公司是因为他们聘请我们为顾客设计,为我们提供知识、感受,把设计做得更好。
大众在挑选壁纸时应该从哪几个维度去关注?
No.1, the first thing is, when you go to, if you go to a shop, try to take the wallpaper, and take it outside of the shop. Open the book, take it outside. There is not the same thing. The light that you have in a shop and that the light you have outside. In the shop, you will look in one way. When you are outside of the shop, you will look another. If you know the wallpaper that you are buying, and you have the opportunity to go to a hotel.Or go to a friend’s house who actually use the same wallpaper. Have a look. Because what you see is more of a sample, is not what you see when you go big size. Size is different. It has the same thing with the stones. It has the same thing with the plant. Size changes a thing. So from a catalogue, size changes. And always touch. You see, you offer me a book before and the first thing I did was to touch. The second thing I did is to put my eye level and I look. I look at contrast, I look how it shines. I took it next to the window, that light is not the same as inside. So always test it. And then one something that is very important, it’s like a bottle of water. It’s like read, read what it says in there. Understand your product, understand that it has to be a sustainable product. Understand that it’s a product that has been done with natural materials. Read what it says and ask questions that’s what I do.
首先,如果去商店,去感受一下壁纸,把它拿到店外。就像打开这本壁纸版本,拿到室外。除此之外,店内感受到的光线和室外不同,我们换个地方看。在店内的时候,我们看到的是这样,走到室外,看到的就是另一种样子。如果有机会可以去使用这种壁纸的酒店,或者去使用了同一款壁纸的朋友家看一看。因为你看到的往往是样品,而实际使用时壁纸的尺寸更大。尺寸变大,效果也不同。石头、植物,都是这个道理。事物跟着尺寸大小改变而不同。
此外,也要去触摸。之前你送我这本壁纸版本,我拿到它首先要触摸它,然后是看它。我把它拿到窗边,那里光线跟室内又不一样,所以要去尝试。除此之外,还有一件事很重要,就像拿到一瓶水,要去读读瓶子的说明上写了什么。要去了解要买的产品,看它是否是具有可持续性的产品,是否是用天然材料做成的。读一读说明,像我这样问些问题。
怎样确定壁纸的环保性?
This is like everything in life. I mentioned before, you always have to read. The small words says in every bottle. You have to read the small words that says in the back of catalogue. Questioning. Don’t just believe. Secondly, I have to get a little bit serious about these questions because I only use materials that have been used with renewable materials, meaning if you cut a tree, plant a tree. If you take a plant out, put another plant back. Use materials that help the world to be sustainable. Renew, renew the world. You cut, you put it back. There are many companies, this company, that we are talking about today,it’s fantastic, Marburg. It’s a fantastic company because they actually do have materials and wallpaper that are 100% renewable, 100% sustainable. Always look at those materials that can help, please, to save the world. Save the planet. you come to Picazo.You are not sustainable. Byebye. I won’t use you.
这和生活里的其他事一样,我说过,需要去读。每个瓶子上都印了很多小字,你需要读瓶子背后说明里写的内容。提出问题,不要单纯的相信。第二,我需要严肃对待这类问题,因为我只用可再生材料做的环保材料。也就是说,如果砍掉一棵树,就要栽下一棵树。如果拔掉一棵树,就要种下一棵树。使用这类材料能帮助我们的世界变得更可持续。更新,更新我们的世界。砍树就要栽树。有很多这样的公司。今天我们一直在提到的这家(德国玛堡)公司太棒了。因为它用来做壁纸的材料是百分百可再生的,可持续的。要多了解那些对世界有帮助的材料,拯救我们的星球。如果你来我们公司推销产品,你的产品不具有可持续性,那再见,我不会用你们的产品。
