Tonight, i watched a TV program about "Architecture in HK"...... As an audience, I really respect the passion that those architects have. They have their own point of view, they insist for their idea, they try to work for the perfect and never get tired of their work...... As an architecture graduate, I really shame for myself...... I still remembered the first day of Yr.1 studio...... Micheal asked us: "Why you are here? What do u think of architecture?" "I like creative idea, I like to create a good home for people, i think i can learn these from architecture"...... but i remembered his response: "You are in the wrong place!"...... From the start, i really got very little understanding about architecture.... but at that time, i think i have passion.... i want to learn, learn sth that can change the quality of life, learn sth that can change the world .....sth that can last long... even longer than my life..... However, in this five years training, my creativity and passion ran away......i just learned the skill of using computer, learned to read famous architects' master piece, learned to make "yung" drawing and model, learn to be superficial.... these was not sth to change the world, but change myself...... like a machine...... In my age, i should be ambitious, try hard to work for my dream.... but obviously, when my "big" boss talk with me about how to design the lift lobby, the carpark and every little detail in the building, they are much more exciting than me. I can see how a good architect should be....... Though they often encourage me to have more input in design, but i always try to "escape" from that..... Am I too cool? Architecture is for human, it should be warm, with feeling, with heart, with passion...... I want my passion back! But how....... |
