践享第七期 走向独立性 / Towards Independence
建筑师也就是传统意义上的大匠，他需要负责规划、设计、监控一幢建筑的建造，但与此同时，他也需要独立于那些流行意见的干扰，“从某种既有的模式中发展出某种新颖性”。成为一名建筑师，也就意味着需要与某种独立立场相关。“走向独立性”，我们与来自上海的建筑师、学者童明先生一起聊聊，有关建筑师的职业与学术，以及有关建筑设计本质的事情。
An Architect, traditionally known as the "master builder", is a person who plans, designs, and oversees the construction of buildings. He/she is required to operate and think independently from the traditional doctrine or prevailing opinions in order to find “novelty in the use of assigned patterns”. Therefore, to be an Architect is often associated with possessing an individual perspective. "Towards Independence", is a dialogue with Tong Ming, a Shanghai based architect and scholar, on architectural profession, the academic, and the nature of architectural design practice.
