帕特里克·舒马赫访谈

Interview with Mr.Patrik Schumacher

采访发生于2016年5月29日,扎哈去世两个月后。彼时,作为扎哈事务所的唯一合伙人,作为曾经与扎哈并肩作战几十年的亲密战友,帕特里克正处于全世界建筑媒体的聚光灯下,成为记者竞相追逐的对象,人们急切地想知道他将如何纪念扎哈,将如何对待扎哈留下的丰富设计遗产,将带领事务所走向何方。似乎因为前一夜晚宴的宿醉,帕特里克放松下来,眯起眼睛,娓娓道来。在威尼斯的晨光中,宛如时光倒回40年前,一切又重头来过,有二十岁的毛头小子与扎哈初相识的兴奋,有夜夜加班的烦躁与无望,有连续投标失败的挫折与迷失,有荣耀,有愤怒,有分歧,有激情……他用自己的职业生涯讲述了扎哈的陪伴:"我真正了解的事务所只有这一个,它是我职业生涯的全部。"

PATRIK SCHUMACHER （PS）： No, I was a student when I started in 1988. I had looked at the offices of Foster＇s and the Rogers＇. Foster had about 50 people at that time. Most of my friends went to work there. But I preferred Zaha＇s work, it seemed more exciting and original. At that point there was not much of an office, just Zaha Hadid with a few ex-students. It was a very small studio, with maybe just 4 or 5 people.
