文化和建筑的表达需要强制条例和立法确定吗?(不需要,但在任何文化中,持续性原则必须有强制条例)

Can Culture and architectural expression be required or legislated? (No, But principles of sustainability, Could be required within any culture.)

这里我做一个假设,虹果建筑和文明都正在发生变化,(当然,这种变化远没有21世纪初的变化具有戏剧性),那作为建筑师的我们就正处在变化的顶点。然而,由于一定程度的盲目性,毫无准备,更多的由于支持经济全球化的共同公约的强制性条文,以及不断的分离建筑和文化的联系,我们经常受到批评。和这些变化并存的,是发展中的对于这个星球上自然系统前途的全球化观念。作为未来的一个主要窗口,对于建筑师和设计师,我认为这是一个时机,通过创造和维护可持续社区和区域的新规则,来产生一个新的范例去重新建立文化和设计之间的纽带。然而,在这样一个新的现实环境中,我们将需要相当多的对于教育,规章的修正,和对于实际建筑的期望值的修正。这篇文章为正在成为和正在培养“新型建筑师”的人提出了些基本的指导和建议。

I make the assumption here that both architecture-and cultures are changing, (and, have never changed more dramatically than at the beginning of the 21st Century) and, that we as architects are at the apex of the curve of Change. However, because of certain levels of blindness, certain levels of being unprepared, and largely because of the overwhelming context of public policies which support globalization of economies, we are vulierable to continuing the disconnects between architecture and culture, Concurrnet with these changes, there is growing global concern for the future of the natural systems of planet Earth. I suggest there is, for a brief window of the future, an opportunity for architects and designers to influence a new paradigm for re-bonding the tie between culture and design through new regulations for creating and maintaining sustainable communities and sustainable regions of the planet. Working in such a new practice environment will, however, require considerable revision to the education, regulation, and expectation for the practice of architecture. This paper offers some baseline guidance and recommendations for becoming, and teaching the 'new architect'.
