the avant-garde Mao

The founder of our great nation, who proclaimed “Arts are for the people.（艺术为人民）”，”There is in fact no such thing as art for art’s sake, art that stands above classes, art that is detatched from or independent of politics.(为艺术的艺术,超阶级的艺术,和政治并行或互相独立的艺术,实际上是不存在的)”, has himself transformed from a revolutionary to an icon d’art. It seems like a renaissance the people make for him as a fever in return to the revolution he brought„ Oops..

To make new faces for Mao is apparently an easy approach to get well-known due to the controversy and the classic sense. Though many of Mao themed art objects were too charged - banned to embody the national watchword “harmony”(河蟹).

极简

Mini

极简成了大众的杯中茶。 它是对理性的美，和对低调生活的夙求。

美，cliché，天性原就是感性的。理性的美，则是被塑造的。 低调又从何而来？ 为什么需要being minimized, understated？ 也是因为理性——由自己社会角色的顾虑而衍生。 所以这很大部分等同于别人的眼光;客观角度的审美。 对于生活在自己的世界里的人;真正不需要外界肯定的人，对美的定义也因此不同，未经过度的培养，也更天然。

从看山是山，看水是水，到看山不是山，看水不是水，又到看山是山，看水是水，是接受事物由表面至本质的过程。 审美不外如是，我们双眼所见的，已不全然是本体，更多的是来自经验，价值观，外界信息，意识形态，甚至这一切在未来的变体，全部被综合进我们的视界。我们对事物的喜恶，取决于此，也阻碍了我们返璞归真的感悟。 我们选择极简，一方面是这个社会的需要，适应生活的需要，也是内心深处与外界平衡的需要。 极简好似一片净土，容我们把更多感性的臆想建筑其上。

除此之外，一种做作的极简是对简约的苛求演变来的，为了求全风格而简，甚至不惜离弃生活。

Zen, Wabi&Sabi, Bauhaus, 哪种为more，哪种是bore，见仁见智。 北欧的设计虽然没有Bauhaus那样刻意的冷冽疏离，他们淡漠生活中小小的浪漫也由北欧式的极简可见一斑。

So, “What is Architecture?”

The video above is offically announced by Maya(NOT the AutodeskMaya). I discovered it today on Vimeo and found it’s compelling. This topic is usually the prologue to be tackled in archi courses. As a graduate of Construction Architecture, I am yet too amateurish to decipher the term ‘architecture’ within its marvelousness.

你想我点？

有朋友call来寻求情感援助，明知和partner已没有未来，但依然爱着、维持着、挣扎着（就算你识我也未知我那朋友是男是女）。
这时是最可怜，主观上又可悲。 以往单身时且熬得住，寂寞与希望并存。而今那partner已和悬崖无异－ 靠近，感到只有生死相隔般的距离和绝望，了然已在崩溃边缘，但理智又奈何？看得清又徒增痛苦。多少人有够高的EQ去左右幸福？
