安东尼·普里达克网络生活日志

绘画 绘画对我来说既是绘画行为,也是我了解世界、认知世界的手段和工具。绘画本身并不仅仅是为了某种特定的目的．事实上．我的绘画就不总是带有某特定的、分析性的目的。当我画古建筑的时候．我并不会完全按照实物绘画,我的画会与实物很接近．但是并不过于描绘细节和注重各种比例,它们体现的是某个建筑,某个地方的精神．而这种精神是通过我的认知、经过转换后蕴含在画中的。绘画是接纳．吸收并将自我融入某个地方的一种方式。     

提升卧室情感温度

改造说明： 哥哥结婚后．他的卧室便归了我。对于我来说，原本一成不变的白墙、深色窗框与黑白相同的暖气外包．很不讨喜。我的职业是平面设计师．对色彩极为敏感，所以我希望卧室应该有温暖的色彩．并带着些异域的张扬。对简约的古典主义．我情有独衷．如果这些元素能够同时存在．才是我最完美的卧室。     

设计师有约

我是一个感性的人．面对生活积极乐观．醉心于设计．痴迷于艺术,热爱雕塑,崇拜罗丹。我喜欢用得发旧的东西．从来都舍不得丢掉,以至于我总是滞后于来势凶猛的高科技。自己进入设计行业好像是一件顺其自然的事情,并没有大费周章．     

房地产商疯狂赚钱的时代已结束——2008年中国房地产预测

记者很客气地请我预测一下2008年的房地产市场,我感到非常荣幸! 我常常说由于中西文化的不同．造成思维方式与看法的不同。我是一个在美国长大,美国注册的建筑师．在美国开业已经有24年了,同时我在我的职业生涯中．做过一阵子的城市管理工作,我的思维方式与论点是非常西方的。     

墙改圆了我的梦想

时光匆流．岁月如歌。1995年,我由东北重型机械学院毕业．同年分配到徐工集团混凝土机械公司工作．对于学习机械制造专业的我来说．徐工集团无疑是理想的选择。然而当时国营企业的体制制约着我的一些想法和发展．而且我父亲创办的“江苏腾宇机械制造有限公司”也急需用人．1998年我从徐工集团调入江苏腾宇机械制造有限公司．被聘任为公司总经理。     

丁承宏：乐在市集中

通过朋友结识ROB,我猜他无非就是刚过而立之年,跟他求证后很惊讶他保养如此之好。ROB说他其实并没有刻意地去做什么——“我想就是快乐吧．或许是我对任何事情的要求都比较低,当然,这不代表我对自己的生活是‘零’要求,而是．我从不给自己过多的压力,做任何事情去尽自己的全力．不管结果是怎样．淡然地接受。”     

智慧主妇经之厨房里的性感

结婚十多年,和先生早已是老夫老妻般恩爱．彼此不再用热辣的言语和行动来示爱。有天我在厨房里切菜．先生下班回来,没有像往常一样．打个招呼便去客厅看电视．而是走到我背后．轻轻地用双臂搂住我的腰．在我耳边热辣辣地说出：“老婆,你今天好性感。”     

我相信奥运会将永远地改变北京，我期待看到奥运会之后的能量——国际建筑师Michele Saee

你是哪国人？在哪座城市生活？ 这个事儿说来话长。我出生在伊朗德黑兰．14岁随家人搬到伦敦．17岁时孤身去意大利，在佛罗伦萨大学建筑学院读书．直到硕士毕业。毕业后在意大利工作了几年．1982年搬到了洛杉矶，从此这里成为我的家。在过去的8年里我分别来往于法国、意大利和中国．这些地方在精神上成为我的新家，我觉得成为美国人是我的客观选择，但是在感情上，我是一名世界居民。     

七根拐棍和两根大棒

我一直不喜欢菲利普。约翰逊（Philip Johnson）．最主要的原因是他说”建筑师就是妓女”．也有可能是说“我就是妓女．业主让我干什么我就干什么”。因为对他反感．所以也懒得去查这句话到底是在什么情况下怎么说的。在波士顿和纽约路过他设计的房子.     

散忆我的清华年代

考入清华大学建筑系对我而言并非是一个偶然的选择。我父母都是工程师．受家庭的影响．我选择了被认为是扎实而有保障的理工科，但也不愿放弃我所喜爱的文学艺术课程，因此，建筑学似乎是一个最佳的结合点。在我高考的1986年．最时髦的专业是生物工程和计算机技术或者自动化．没有多少人知道建筑学是学什么的，我却很庆幸自己做了这个选择。     

To dispose or re-use?--an evaluation of sluice room equipment.

From my own experience at this hospital, I would recommend disposable bedpans and macerators as the system of choice for hospital sluice rooms for the following reasons: (1) It saves engineering time. The machines are much simpler to maintain than bedpan washers, and the time spent is purely on mechanical maintenance or repair rather than on monitoring of performance. I estimate that our fitters spend less than half the time on maintenance or repair of macerators than they did on bedpan washers. (2) It is safer. With a macerator, when a machine failure does occur it is complete and results in an emergency call to the engineering department. With a bedpan washer, the danger is that the machine failure, ie problems with the washer arm or failure of the machine to reach disinfection temperature, will not be complete and will go unnoticed. This presents an infection control hazard, and it is inevitably considered to be the responsibility of the hospital engineers if things do go wrong. There are of course other factors to be considered when choosing sluice room equipment, such as saving of nurses time, saving of energy, cost of disposables etc. But these are part of a wider debate and not the sole concern of the unit engineer. I choose only to offer the benefit of my own experience in the installation repair and maintenance of both systems, and hope that it will be of value to other engineers.     

平衡的建筑

曾有一次,我听一位德国哲学家（他是德国人,真的,并且他是一名哲学老师）详尽地评判了我的一篇小说,他不知道我在听众之中。会后,我站起来想与他讨论一下他阐述中的某些观点,心想,那可是强烈的批评,我说：“毕竟,碰巧,我是这个故事的作者。”“噢”,他说“,你是艾萨克·阿西莫夫？我很高兴有您的光临,我非常钦佩您的工作,     

Indeterminate notation and sound in the space of architecture

Exploring the potential of musical indeterminacy is an area of interest in architectural research yet to be examined in great detail.1 One possible explanation for this is that design strategies in architecture attempt to define and/or enclose space in particular visual ways, whereas sound itself asserts new and specific vibrations that are non-visual, only aurally decoded. However, the disciplines of architecture and music both conventionally communicate their ideas through notational systems made up of temporal and spatial symbols. These symbols are extensions of their authors' ideas or instructions, generally manifested through the drawing or score, which are visual modes of defining arrangements of activity waiting to be interpreted by the viewer. It is through notational systems that I began my PhD in Architecture by Project with a focus on techniques that advance strategies of indeterminacy developed in music since the 1950s, initially through a musical score of the American composer John Cage.2

For the purposes of this paper, I will limit the discussion on Cage to this score, and demonstrate how an understanding is being established that his work has consequences for other creative disciplines. I will then briefly discuss a series of architectural drawings by the architect Daniel Libeskind, and how the two interrelate.3 In the second part of this paper I will extend the understanding of Cage's and Libeskind's respective temporal imagery and notation, and illustrate how these are contributing to two projects addressing ideas of space, sound and notation as part of my architectural doctorate. Underpinning the heuristic method of all my doctoral project work are ideas of indeterminacy as originally presented by Cage in the discipline of music. When taken up within the discipline of architecture, these ideas provoke difficult questions requiring answers yet to be fully resolved and as such, my two projects in this paper may appear aesthetically complete, however, they are not conclusive in content. Although it will be shown in this paper how inconclusive investigations are a necessary problem within my research, contributing to an understanding of these questions is the distinctive in(ter)vention of interdisciplinary media, how they inform, contest and support the research. To address this, and in summary, I will position my research's design-based approach within two contexts; first, within an Australian context of the PhD in Architecture by Project, and secondly, within 'The Unthinkable Doctorate' conference's thematic subcategory of 'media'.     

Absence Makes the Heart Grow Fonder:My SPURS Experience and Reflections on Planning Education in China

As a SPURS fellow, my one-year study at MIT had a great impact on my career in urban planning and education. I gained knowledge regarding planning systems in the USA, and my view on planning was changed and expanded. This paper reviews my experience as a SPURS fellow at MIT, and concludes with an analysis of planning education in China from the perspective of a SPURS fellow.     

My Dream Home

<正>My dream home is not far from the sea.It is a large house on the beach.It has an area of over 500 square meters.There are about 20 rooms in it.I have my own bedroom and study in it.My favorite place is the football field in front of my house on the beach,because I can invite my friends to play beach football with me there.I think my dream home is cool.What about yours?     

I'm Proud of Myself

<正>I used to be a boy with few words. Last month, I failed the exam. I felt so sad that I couldn’t help crying. However, my mother told me that everyone may fail in his or her life.Failure is also a good chance for us to realize our disadvantages.She encouraged me a lot. I made up my mind to prepare for the next exam. I always listened to the teacher carefully and did my homework all by myself. To my surprise, I achieved     

My Decision

<正>When I finished my study in primary school, I had to face hard choices. One was to stay at my hometown and went to the nearest middle school, the other was to move to the city with my parents. I chose the former one, because I did not want to go to a strange city and stayed away from my friends. They were very important to me, because we played together and     

给朱剑飞的回信

你的文章我看了好几遍,我觉得是重要时刻的重要文章。我试写了几次回应．但由于我平时多是对自己的具体实践经验进行总结,并不真正擅长理论概括．所以至今没能如期完成作业。时间这么紧了,干脆就写封回信作为回应吧。     

Lucky to Meet My First Class

<正>I have never been late for school,but last Friday I was almost late for class.My alarm clock did not work,and by the time I woke up I found it was 7:30."Hurry up,or you will be late!"said my younger brother."Oh,my God!"I hurried to get up and dashed out of the door without having breakfast.The first class would start at 8:00.It was 30 minutes left.I ran to the bus stop which is not     

My Dream Home

<正>Welcome to my dream home!It’s not very large.It’s near the sea.There’s a big balcony on the first floor.I can look out at the sea and the beach there.On the first floor are my own bedroom and study.I can read or chat with my friends in the study.On the ground floor,there
