将实验进行到底 写在“不断实验——中国美术学院建筑艺术学院实验教学展”之前

Never Stop Experimenting Words Written Before the "Re-experiment:Live Exhibition of CAA School of Architecture"

一个新办建筑学院迎来它的建院十周年,办一个展览,算不上什么大事,但一个立志要"重建一种当代中国的本土建筑学"的学院,一个试图对中国建筑教育的痼疾做彻底变革的学院,它的10年展就值得一探究竟。况且,这个展览的名字,"不断实验"还有一层旁人容易忽略的意思:这不是10年的优秀本科作业展,而是以从2016年10月到现在的各年级作业为主体的展览,或者说,这个学院任何一学年都可以随时从课堂上拉出一个有着威尼斯双年展状态的展览,这就是实验的真实性,创造性发生的真实性,这就是当下教育最难培养出来的那种能力。而且这种能力不是一些空洞含糊的概念,而是已经细化到一系列的课程与线索中,它们已经发生,还在继续生长。

A new school of architecture to celebrate its tenth anniversary by staging an exhibition likely won’t be considered as a major event.However,in the case of a school committed to ＂redevelopment of local architectural studies in contemporary China＂ and radical transformation of Chinese architectural education,it propels one to explore this survey shows that traverses the past ten-year trajectory of the school.Moreover,the title of the exhibition,Re-Experiment,embodies a layer of meaning that tends to be overlooked：it is not to celebrate the undergraduate students’ excellent works from the past ten years,rather,it is an exhibition mostly comprised of each academic level’s actual assignments from last October to present.In another words,no matter which academic level is,the current students in this school are prepared to deliver an exhibition with the same level of intensity as the Venice Biennale.It is derived from the originality of experimentation,the originality of creative acts.Nowadays it seems to be the hardest thing to teach.As opposed to an ambiguous concept lack of substance,it is rendered in the design of the curriculums,germinated and still growing.
