That doesn't mean that there is no room for individuality, wit or humour, but what I detest in post-modern architecture, for example, is the absence of any analysis, and the elevation of superficial wit to the level of a general principle. Architecture is a durable statement, and it has to be about the nature of the present: it has to be a witness of its time, signed by an individual architect. The analysis I describe is the starting point, but there comes a moment of synergy when the argument is in place, when it is essentially possible to fix the concept. The work, miraculously, almost, becomes plastic rather than verbal; memory and attention take over, and everything learnt fuses its plastic and connotatory values into a new object, more ambiguous, more mysterious, an oeuvre d'art. For these reasons, architects should take designing furniture or lighting or products as a serious matter. Some classic designs - for chairs, for example - can last fifty, seventy or even a hu

这并不意味着对个体、智者或人类没有空间,但是,例如,在后现代建筑中我讨厌的是,缺乏任何分析及对一种普遍原则的浅层次的评价。建筑是一种经久不衰的状态,它必须要体现现实的本质,它要作为被一独立建筑师所标志的它那个时代的见证人。我所描述的分析是起点,但是当讨论发生时,当很有可能达成一致的理念时,协作的时刻到来了。比起语言上的,工作奇迹般的,几乎,更倾向于创造性的,集中记忆力和精力,所研究的每件事都将创新性融入到新的事物中去,成为更有活力,更神秘的艺术品。正是这些原因,建筑师们应把设计家俱或灯饰或生产产品作为一项严肃的事情来做。一些经典的设计比如椅子,能够经历持续五十、七十甚至是一百年的时间或许比这更长。一古董家俱是它时间的见证人,仍能够表达一种真实的状态,即使就其使用更适合路易斯XII,XIV,XV的时代。但是对于一物体的设计的改变的唯一有效理由是基于需要、目的、社会和暂时的状况的变化而定。例如,没有事情比看到某人为适应一种新的更时尚的风格试图改变酒杯的形状更让我害怕。传统的B玻璃杯的形状随着时间变化以满足它自己的理论。它形状的任何改变来自于外界,而不是形成于设计者的随意。因此,我们能谈论设计基础的种类,保持它们自己功用的物体,这是通过不以潮流标志的数年的工艺过程发展的。它们不应被改变,不是出于对过去的虔诚而是因为没有必要改变它们。为商业、市场或经济原因修改它们是对其内涵的稀释,对设计的侮辱。
