大家好！

Good evening everyone!

我是劉家琨，來自四川成都。四川地處中國西部內陸的盆地，緊鄰青藏高原，出產熊貓、麻辣美食、以及休閑和包容。

I'm Liu Jiakun, from Chengdu, Sichuan Province. The Sichuan basin is in south-western China, adjacent to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. It is famous for giant pandas, spicy delicacies, as well as laid-back attitude and inclusive culture.

感謝評審團！你們的認同對我來說是極大的鼓勵。我憑直覺做的工作經過你們的概括變得清晰，你們的評語宛如知音。

Thank you, the Jury! Your recognition is a great encouragement to me. The work I did intuitively has become clearer after your summarization. Your comments resonate with my heart, to be long cherished.

感謝普利茲克家族——辛迪，我相信你能聽見——謝謝你們對建筑學的熱愛、恒心和慷慨。我記住了湯姆·普利茲克先生的評語，“哲學地超越表面”，我會牢記，我還想超越更多。

Thank you, the Pritzker family! Cindy, I believe you can receive my gratitude! Thank you for your love, perseverance, and generosity towards architecture. I have memorized Mr. Tom Pritzker's comment, "philosophically looking beyond the surface." I will keep it in mind, and I will also keep looking beyond even more.

感謝我的業主們，沒有你們的信任、支持甚至冒險，好多建筑都不可能實現。

Thank you, my clients. Without your trust, support, and willingness to take risks, many of the buildings would not have been possible.

感謝我的同事們，我們一起緊張趕圖。“這件事不急，但一定要快”，這類話以后會說得更多。

Thank you, my colleagues. Together we’ve been working so hard on so many drawings. I promise you, sentences like "This is not urgent, but it must be done quickly" will probably be said more often in the future.

感謝我的朋友們，你們使我在日常生活中扎根，我從你們那里汲取了很多營養。

Thank you, my friends. You make me take root in daily life. I have drawn a lot of inspiration from you.

感謝我的家人們，你們是我的后盾。特別感謝馬丁·劉，這段時間你辛苦了，愿你今后寫出好音樂，“音樂是流動的建筑”。

Thank you, my family, you are the foundation of my life. I especially want to thank Martin Liu, you have been working intensively during this period. I hope you will compose great music in the future, as the saying goes, "music is fluid architecture."

感謝工作室的三只貓，“擼貓爽”，肉身不可替代。

Thank you, the three cats in our studio. "Petting cats is chill," the tactile experience is irreplaceable.

感謝曼尼努拉女士和丹妮拉女士！你們是送喜報的人。你們給我打電話的時候我正在頭痛，當我放下電話后，我發現我的頭已經不痛了！

Thank you Ms. Manuela and Ms. Daniella! You are the ones who brought the good news. I was just having a headache when you called, after I put down the phone, the pain was gone!

建筑獎對建筑師有著明顯的療愈作用，建筑物也應該對使用者有著相同的作用，我認為。

Architectural awards obviously have a magical healing effect on architects, buildings should have the same effect on their users, I suppose.

建筑學能不能？

What can architecture achieve?

衡量一項事業是否重要，可以看它使用的材料: 政治以國家的命運為材料，經濟以財富的流通為材料，還有文化、藝術、科技、宗教……

To measure the importance of a cause, we can look at the materials it uses: politics takes the fate of a nation as its material, economy takes the circulation of wealth as its material; we can also look at cultures, arts, science and technology, religions...

那么建筑學呢？建筑學以磚石土木為材料——這么一說似乎有點不妙，這些都是物質——但是，物質產生于世界之初，比以上的一切都要古老。地球上所有的物質幾乎都被有機生物浸潤過了，萬物有靈。建筑學以物質為材料，把以上的一切都固化下來并呈現于世。當建筑完成以后，建筑就不再是什么的隱喻，建筑直接就是，成了存在本身。建筑學就是操作物質，直到把物質操作得沁出精神。建筑學無中生有，參與造物，而造物本來是屬于神的事情。

And for architecture? Architecture uses bricks, stones, earth and wood as its materials. At first glance, this may seem not so promising, as these are all physical substances. However, matter came into being at the beginning of this world and is older than all the things mentioned above. Almost all the substances on the earth have been touched by organic creatures. Everything has a spirit. Architecture uses matter as its material to solidify and represent all of the above. Once a building is completed, it is no longer a metaphor, it is Being, an ontological existence. Architecture is about manipulating matter until the spirit emerges from it. Architecture builds something out of nothing, participating in creation, which is originally the work of gods.

建筑學很復雜：綜合思考，簡明呈現；依賴數據，定于直覺。建筑學是“非語言”的，不是那么好計算——AI也可以順便聽一下：

Architecture is complicated: it requires comprehensive thinking and concise presentation; it relies on data but is ultimately determined by intuition. Architecture is “non-verbal,” not so easy to calculate, and I think AI should listen to this.

“與自然共生”是中華文明的古老智慧。對蟻巢來說草原是自然，對村民來說蟻巢和草原是自然，對城市來說村落、蟻巢和草原是自然……城市是人類為自己建的“蟻巢”，不一定非要和自然對立。“自然”和“建造”是矛盾與平衡的關系，事在人為。

"Living in harmony with nature" is an ancient wisdom of Chinese civilization. For an ant nest, the grassland is nature, for a villager, both the ant nest and the grassland are nature. For a city, the village, the ant nest, and the grassland are all nature... A city is an "ant nest" built by humans and doesn't necessarily have to be in opposition to nature. "Nature" and "construction" have a relationship of both contradiction and balance, and it all depends on our effort.

每一個地方都是本地人的本地。如果地方沒有深度，所謂國際也是浮云。無論在哪里，建筑總要落在一個具體的地方，“因地制宜”是可以用于不同地方的方法論。

Every place is a local place for the locals. If the local has no depth, the global is just a fleeting cloud. Wherever it is, a building has to be precisely located, therefore “adapting to locality" can be a methodology applied to different places.

傳統凝聚著一個族群的精神幻象和自我認同。傳統的內核并不是過往的樣式，而是延續至今的世界觀。我們生活在當下。

Tradition embodies the spiritual fantasy and self-identification of an ethnic or cultural group. The core of tradition is not the inherited models, but the worldview that has been passed down to this day. After all, we live in the present.

烏托邦和人間煙火是蹺蹺板的兩頭。革命容易分寸難。

Utopia and mundane life are like the two ends of a seesaw. Revolution is easy, balancing is difficult.

“磚想成為什么？”我們也可以像路易·康問磚那樣去問問項目想成為什么。關注對象，本質賦形。摒棄小我，有可能調動更大的力量。在秩序中包容他者可以形成和聲。

"What do you want, brick?" Just as Louis Kahn asked the brick, we can also ask a project, what do you want? Focus on the object and give form according to its essence. Let go of the ego, then it will be possible of mobilizing greater forces. Embracing the other within the order can create a harmonious symphony.

風格是雙刃劍，既有利于被人識別，也容易自我限制，而統一的方法論可以使不同面貌的作品有共同的氣質。可識別性應該是通過系列作品傳達的藝術個性。

Style is a double-edged sword. It is beneficial for being recognized, it can also become limitation. But a unified methodology can endow works with different appearances with a common temperament, recognizability should be the artistic individuality conveyed through a series of works.

建筑最動人之處是大象般的笨拙與敏感。精致只是無數標準中的一種。通向完美無瑕的道路也通向非人。“未完成感”不是“未完工”，而是對生長的誘導。材料和工法無所謂新舊，但看用在什么地方。粗礪可以掛住時間。建筑學需要在新益求新中守護原始的感悟力。

The most touching aspect of architecture is its clumsiness and sensitivity, like that of an elephant. Refinement is just one of countless standards, the road to perfection might also lead to the inhumane. The "sense of incompleteness" is not the same as "unfinished construction,” but an inducement for growth. Materials and methods are neither new nor old in themselves, it all depends on where they are used. Rusticity preserves the passing of time. Architecture needs to safeguard its primal instinct while constantly seeking newness.

我們熱愛的工作會被取代嗎？不會的。建筑學和人類的命運緊緊纏繞在一起，人類不滅亡，建筑學也不會滅亡。建筑學會演化，會更新，建筑學一直在這樣做。有些失眠之夜，我會想到，能夠投身建筑學真的是我的幸運，而我差一點就放棄了建筑學。當我想的是建筑學能給我帶來什么時，它的確也會有所回報；而當我想的是我能給建筑學帶來什么時，我才真正得到了更多，有時候，甚至戰勝了虛無。

Will the work we love so deeply be replaced? I think not. Architecture is closely intertwined with the fate of humanity, it will evolve and renew itself, as it has always been doing. As long as humanity does not perish, architecture will not either. On some sleepless nights, I would suddenly realize how lucky I was to be involved in architecture, and how close I was to give it up. When I questioned what architecture can provide, it indeed has brought me some return. When I asked what I could give to architecture, then I have gained much more, sometimes, it even helped me to overcome Nothingness.

建筑學在上。謝謝建筑學！

Architecture is supreme. Thank you, architecture!
