傍晚8时,夜色愈浓
为什么非得用北京的一切来套用伦敦?要不然干嘛要在SOHO怀念三里屯呢?当我意识到自己怀旧的时候,一切都已经晚了,在夜色的掩护下,现实的场景开始依稀,记忆中的过去开始风起云涌的融化这一切。从此,我明白了我是个阳光,乐观的人,屁事没有的生活我能把它写成文字,除去自恋,完全就是只能用阳光和乐观来解释了。我还明白了我是个用浓重东方情怀的人。也是是因为太久没有闻到臭豆腐的香味,FS关于老北京豆汁的笑话让我想哭。这里的意大利面条,美国包子,希腊烤翅,俄罗斯饺子,印度尼西亚米饭,偶尔让我欢笑,偶尔让我心酸。恨是因为爱至深,城里弥漫着颓废的气息,伴着夜深下去愈发的浓烈上来。没有爱,没有恨,的生活,是无限的无聊和平淡。依然怀念铎魁在Chinatown带我甩开皮条客,甩开黑暗和龌龊的场面,这让我回忆起北京的三里屯,那夜,同样萎靡的北京,同样荷尔蒙的我们,只是北京的路太宽,太大,这里的一切又是那么小,那么狭窄,那么曲折幽僻,或者打个比方,每条街道的都是原比例或者1.5倍比例的胡同。配备上英伦矫情闷骚的性情,这是个生来适合夜性生活的娱乐都城。我整理了自己可爱的小桌,照旧望着窗外的和夜色对视着。对街窗户里的人影幻化成我记忆中无数的温馨场面,明暗不同的窗户,大小不一的人影,构成了我的风景。这里不想讨论风景和看客的关系。不就是主动与被动么?我果然是个有玩心的人,不满足与仅仅生活着生活,而且还想要生活出现象。这让我想到了勒布朗.詹姆斯,是现象级球员,别人看他打球是报着观察一种现象的心态去看的,不仅仅是看球。或许为的是趣味吧。趣味可能就是来自于错位吧,处处对位能带来趣味么?对了,我终于说到错位了。吾甚爱错位感,嘻哈疯癫却要故作矜持,正二八经忽又淫荡万分。叛逆着生活,寻找到错位。可怜我,一性情中人。在这个时代,错位是永恒的主题,对位是可遇不可求的。在北京同住了5年,结果到了英国还错不开,就是有点对上了的意思。真的是可遇而不可求。非错勿求是不好的,非对勿做也是不好的。所以下次见到Eva,不要老问她James Corner的问题。在AA的门口见到抽中南海的人也不要惊讶。爪哇人就是能把希腊语说的很好,这也很正常。所以Kyle穿着凌厉的风衣,背着鼓鼓囊囊的书包,带着毛线帽的时候,你只用去欣赏他的可爱。所以在伦敦的橱窗前遇见三年前给她打工的老板的老公,你完全可以选择上前热情的握手或是离开。在地铁里,呼吸着污浊的空气,耐受着高温,被巨大的gap吓到,同时还花着最昂贵的票价,你确实应该抱怨“Fxxx,这就是TNND伦敦的地铁吗?Fxxxing Expensive,太SB了!!!”

Agnese:
Aganias? Agenis? Agunius? Argenies? Argernous? Agunous? Agonias? Agonis? Augnous? Agnis? Argonos? Argenos? Arguenius? Aguneus? Augunus?Oh, my mind disturbed.
When I met her: Staggering latovia algeance graudia, hard enough to give out a gental smile and greet when a mouth full of bread. I try to bite gentlely and squeeze a ugly smile. She is like a flower and all the men in the hotel crazy around her. la capital is Riga. We used to play in the woods near my boyfriend's house. Collecting mushrooms and eat traditional latovia bread, making flower tea. I told her even mushroom is infected.
When I leave her:She gave me a hug and man said see u in better life. 8~ Good fellows. I pull out my lougage of the hotel and settle into central London.
When I met her again, I toured her to my studio. During her stay in studio, I kept explaining to classmates she is not my girl friend. She is "girl and friend".
By far always good fellows:
Always Good Fellow in my Lifes.
i: Thomas: He said Do AS U PLEASE. Aren't U Tow Twisted? U have evil in ur mind. Don't worry, be happy. Right now~ You have nothing to worry about.
ii: Pedro: Infected mushroom is the most insane and informal music from Brazil. Canjas which are illegal grow very well in our little Garden. Pedro says: Mind the gap please. Lick the gap please. Fuck the british accent. In his south african English: Man, u want to make the best out of me? "Hey look there, Canjas( which are illegal and used for raw material of drug )grow very well in our little Garden."
iii: Justin Kwak: Korean male student who is my two-week roomate in stratford. He likes Lee Hyo-lee and I like Lee Jung Hyun. I made him suspicious of Chinese men's ability to appreciate the arts.
iiii: Jane: A girl said where is the chopping board. carrort is as hard as a exciting dick, so does potato.
Computing algorithm:
-In a GA, diversity is usually introduced at the start of the algorithm, by randomising the‘genes’in the population.
- Evaluate the fitness of all of the individuals in a population.
- Create a new population by performing operations such as crossover, fitness-proportionate reproduction and mutation on the individuals whose fitness has just been measured.
- Discard the old population.
- Iterate (One iteration = one generation.)
-Generation 0 population of randomly generated individuals.
-From there on, the genetic operators, with the fitness measure, operate to improve the individuals.
Daniel i ii iii:
i Jose Danilo Silvestre: Dean of University of Phillipines
ii Daniel Libeskind: ......
iii Daniel Coll: He saw me brought Agnese into the studio and then he asked me whether I have some progress in Genetic Algorithm. I was scared but finally get a good feedback.
Emotion can be described like this:
I wonder why, I wonder why.
I wonder why I wonder.
I wonder why I wonder why.
I wonder why I wonder.

International:
Pathetically, dirty water in China Town rather than anything else makes me homesick. A thread of smell touch the bottom of my stomach and heart.
Chinese express their love implicitly.
Spainish bacelona is my favorate city.
Te amo motcho, spanish expression of Love.
Saya cinta kamu or Saya Sangang Cinta Kamu, malaysian memory in Beijing.
I love U is the most common expression all over the world.
Jorge Ayala:

Love is the plan, plan is the death:
Ugly wolf never disguise. The most gorgeous way to design a emtech project is forgetting the function of a creature and only focusing on the shape and structure of it. forget chinese.
When I write something in English, I give myself a high standard. As a straight man, I never give up my standard.
When u do something, u don't have a chance to go down straight to your destination. I will potentially fail if I do not march on, trying to make the best
out of a bad situation.Michael Weinstock:
Although he has such a unbelievable past, he seems like a academical gentleman. He is actually a strong man. The important point for a teacher is that when you see him, you wanna be trained and educated to be a great man. The most gorgeous way to design a emtech project is forgetting the function of a creature and only focusing on the shape and structure of it. He smoke a lot, like many thinkers I met here.
Michael Weinstock travelled 17 years during his youth. Maybe in the oceannorth he got used to smoking and smoking becomes an everyday habbit in his life. Although he has such a unbelievable past, he seems like a academical gentleman. He is actually a strong man.
The important point for a teacher is that when you see him, you wanna be trained and educated to be a great man. The most gorgeous way to design a emtech project is forgetting the function of a creature and only focusing on the shape and structure of it.
He smoke a lot, like many thinkers I met here.
No longer hurt:
Once you don't remember how to be shy, you will not be hurt again.
Qingdao has cultivated many art students,art students also experience their vigorous youth.
I have three younger brothers, one of which stays in Anhui, one in Shanghai University studying undergraduate. The other one is art student, learning skething and playing with girls.
I, as the oldest one fly to London. Wandering at the edge of Ration and Emotion, Engineering and Architecture, Science and Art.
I think Life have many scenes, like drama.
First, you absolutely struggleed, fighted hard, reaching for an aim but nealy impossible to reach the perfect ending.
The other is "In the garden more grow than the gardener sow". But u can truly find one another congenial,expressing yourself from the bottom of the heart.
China has Fraction Culture,which is the most commonplace and the greatest one. There are two aspects inside it, one of which is literaly from Confusian "I will be very happy if my friends come". The other is more amiable and easy to understand "Don't mention, anything for u". Of course there are "Don't mention, anything for women".
In the atomesphere of Fraction Culture, you can believe nothing beside morality and justice between friends and within groups. Sometimes kingcraft is just consisted of non-justice. I even don't feel very strange to heard about a brother of mine entering the mafia-style organizations. He is good at it.
Finally I can relax my heart which has waited so long,opening the heavy door to AA,escaping from the longest time-desert in the history,beginning my Spring Dream in the small hall.Architects have no life. Confusian said if u don't know life, you will not know death. We architects have Gest-intelligence. We enjoy Strongest Fight the Strongest, Invincible oppsite Invincible. But Laozi also told us Do Something while not to Do Something. Chinese traditional culture taught me not only huge amount of syntax...but the spiritual meaning of optimistic, hopeful.
Outline for love is the Plan is Death by James Tiptree Jr:

1, Call Rhino command (sphere...) / Call Rhino sphere_plot / Rhino.AddSphere...... / sphere_create / sphere_new .................. what is the difference between all those guys and in which case it is to preferable to employ one or the other?
2. Why in certain occasions we have to list what we are going to dimension like for instance
Dim soleil, i, j, k,arrAxis,dblScale
Dim arrpts, n at the beginning of the scriptand sometimes it works witout this 1st list.... bizarre...?3. What is "redim preserve"?4. For some surfaces relating to domes the array of points on a surface are actually allocated out of the surface itself (cf image1) according to the mirror of the shape. How to put them on it?
5. In the exemple of the normals along the curves on a surface
how do you do to inverse the direction of the normals -----to design weather you want them underneath or above the shape?-- I tried to inverse the arrows in the surface analisis but it doesn't work. and then how to change their lenth?
6. In the exemple of the objects along a curve. If the curve has many directions rhino would considers by default only 1 direction. (cf image 2 & 3 )Is it possible to change that?7. surface out of a net of curves
How do you give the good order of selection?
how can you enable in the drawing the names of the pieces defined by 2 curves? (handy for laser model..)
8. how to assign a different scu (coordinate system) to some actions, or only to some objects?Retrace from my time line:
Pathetically, dirty water makes me homesick.
Chinese time line of a young man is not so straight a line as a European time line. I spent so many days during the 10s struggling to repeat doing maths, chemistry, physical and politics exercises. Luckily I insist on doing all kinds of activities like doing sports and social communications. One day can change a man's life and one woman can't survive a night. However each type of art is dealing with sex. After I know how to yy, my literature score never get hurt again. When I write something in English, I give myself a high standard. As a straight man, I never give up my standard.
When u do something, u don't have a chance to go down straight to your destination. I will potentially fail if I do not march on, trying to make the best
out of a bad situation. The script will compute a bunch of cross-product vector based on a pointcloud. Forget chinese. Kahn is good. Ugly wolf never disguise.Sean:
Sean is a name, which always appears in my mind. I have met three seans recently.
Sean Penn is a fucking good guy with a fucking good performance in Mystic River, which is directed by Scorsses, who represents a section of Hollywood. Black
car, black tide.Sean Lemeul is a student in the school of architecture in University of Philippines. He is purely Chinese and head of Students' Union there.
Sean Devine is a character in Mystic River. A man don't say another man is handsome.Three aspcts for men in life:
Life has three aspects for a man.
First, Money equals life.
Second, Waist is the life of man.
Third, he can use his waist to produce life and money. So we can get to the conclusion The good days had gone with the wind when a man hurts his waist.
Ussav:
He is nice and interesting. Affable is the quality of Ussav. Wtzon is not as clever as Ussav. He made me interested in Indian cultures which is quite a culture of gods and godesses.
Vegetation Algorithms:
Chinese hawthorn is as funny as lover of Durex, a man having fun on her body.
Touch the base of the fresh. A thread of smell touch the bottom of my stomach and heart.
Wirless:
When I first arrived in Greenwich, London, I borrowed a 3-usb wireless service from Lu Qing and Thanks to this 3-usb wirless I kept in touch with Parents and Friends.
When I settled in Stratford, I waited for another 5 days to get on wireless.
After 1 week, I finally can get to internet in AA Library. I can't watch xiaonei because chinese characters are not installed.
After 2 week I can get to internet in Barbican, at home.
After 3 week I can get a wireless in AA.
Something pushs you understand one thing, patience is never to much to be with.
X-factor and Monster:
I can't help myself fantacies, or you can called Evil Thought in my mind.
i. Big Brush Painting,Licking
ii. Kitchen King,Eye Smarts at the somke.
iii. Inocent
iiii. Rotten Wood:
iiiii. Marble Arch realy the destinatio?European Star
iiiiii. Kath: A girl which unexpectedlly but really greatly helped me.
YY:
I YYed,
I YYing,
I YY.
I am Living in YY.
I YY and YY.
I want YY.
I miss YY.
I not only miss YY in Beijing, but also miss YY in Shanghai.
Zero and one is the domain of uv:
In my dream these days, a sentence always float: "The left most columm represents the basic array","Stack the indices" or "The script will compute a bunch of cross-product vector based on a pointcloud.". It seems that I am quite obessessed by Rhinoscript, hum.
Yes, in some circmstances, without the tutors and their inventions which propelled the scripts and diagrams in the first instance, there would be no constructions.
Memory quakes me of China's glorious culture, which is often perceived by its spectacular wood structure interior space and wing-like roof. Clouds-like Dougong visualy reduce the gravity of the building. Bamboo, a material that once was made the best use of by our ancester craftsmen, is now not a legal construction material in Europen countries.

写在老鼠横行,狐狸偷窥的
对于Rhino的感觉,大三的某一熬夜,初试云雨,生生的把一个看起来极其非线的天桥sweep & cut了出来,对于刚学sketchup的我来说,实在是个不小的成就。
即使接受了两年的建筑设计训练,对建筑设计的生成谈不上理解,现在也谈不上。对于篮球的领悟速度比建筑设计快很多。经典的设计手法没有掌握的如何,大三的我却又进入了一个猜测着涌现,模仿着非线性,激进的yy的时期。那个设计结束后,留给大熬之后的我的遗迹,一是对rhino的建模工具的基本掌握,二是涌现梦没有做完做爽的设而不畅的感觉,三是对ZX的信赖和歉疚并存的复杂心情。
lx的表弟等北工大的四名同学毕业设计要交图了,他们的毕业设计就是做手机,rhino是最适合的建模软件。遗憾的是,他们还不会rhino。我决定救他们。依据每个人提供的6个手机立面,估摸着每处细节的弧面,思索着每个按钮的处理,齿轮的描绘,触摸笔的小凹凸。借这个助人为乐的机会彻底的熟练了rhino。我只想着救他们,没有提钱的事情(不过后来每个手机他们给了150元)。平均算下来,每个手机一次成模消耗的时间差不多也有半天,这是纯建模工作,做头两个的时候是有技术含量的探索,丰富了建模经验,后来就是体力活和脏活了。这样我帮助四个工业设计系的哥么完成了毕业设计。
我一直相信这是我整个大学期间我做过的最牛逼的事情,我一直相信我的人品很好,没想到这么好。因为这件事情是发生在在剧场设计的交图前5天,为了完成它,对自己的作业的影响无疑是巨大的,自己的剧场在剩余的时间里,用相当熟练rhino技术和生涩的3d渲染技术建出了极其疯狂的形体,渲出了富有激情的效果图。但是因为时间不够,平面图的进度没有跟上,最后交上的A3图本里我放上了无数的狂野的效果图,而其中没有平面图。一个星期之后,xmy的声音在我的手机中响起,“基本功夫不做,光画那么多的效果图,这......”。至今回忆起来还胸怀激荡。......
伊朗的哥么有两个,一个是生活型的,一个是专业型的。专业型的哥么直视着我的眼睛,说,Before u get into the courses, u should indulge into the arguments,scripts...as early as possible...我怯怯的问他,when did u start?他说Three or four months before I came here.还好,在封大帅哥的影响下,我半年前开始看认真看他们的学生作业,Tutor出的两本书和三本杂志也强行啃阅。对script的理解也慢慢深入下去。在毕设没有停歇的无聊任务中,我的目标也逐渐清楚起来。去Emtech,为什么来EMTECH,为了追求世界上最美的形式。Emtech是一门研究最美的形式的学问。
rhino本身有着前卫光环,但它只是一个工具。DRL的作品看多了就看不下去,因为虽然他们图面效果非常疯狂,给人粗野有力的图像快感。但是究其形体本质,用rhino的最简单的几个操作就可以做到。方案十有九虚,理解空洞,手法重复。所以不难理解每天推敲着计算机语言的逻辑,关注材料与结构的实验表现,用拓补学,类型学,结构力学,形式生态学武装大脑的EM的师兄,对他们的作品那么的没有兴趣。
想起以前在海哥的教导下,我终于知道在钢笔画中,有一种画是非常的漂亮精细,但是只要你足够认真和细致,再加上有时间,无论如何也能整出来。另一种画也许只有寥寥数笔,画面却显得饱满有张力,线条往往很有灵性。这样的话往往没有好几年的功夫,是模仿不来的。伊朗的专业型哥么口口声声的when I come back to architecture design的理想,和Tom喃喃低语中的对以前建筑学习的总结,让我对将来和过去找到了更多的定位。
人不可能两次跨入同一条河。现在是个建筑系学生就要被rhino紧着,没有人教的时候自己要紧自己,等你出国留学的时候,哪怕是学习景观,你的课程表上还是会有rhino的课程教授。看到美国的一流学府将rhino作为研究生基本课程在一步一步的系统教授,我怎么能不感慨老美的认真刻板。Emetech课程没有对工具的教授,这其中的原因可能有两层,一,这个领域思维过程重于表现,所以前三个月是各种理论的学习和完成小论文课题。二,你必须是一个有追求的人,不满足于对建筑学学到头,仅仅有一流的设计才能,二流的演说技巧,末流的技术人员素质,而是更想知道建筑学如何面向未来,身份上,你在进入建筑学领域的时候已经逐渐向二手技术专家靠拢了。我怎能不深深感慨英国人的闷骚,什么都不说,什么都做得慢,但是私下里什么都做,什么都想,绅士其表,淫荡其内。

9月22日之前,来英第二周
伦敦是个一年四季雨水不断的岛国,不过对于整个童年都受到阴湿的雨水冲刷的我,倒是有些许亲切。我来的如此之早,抑或是AA开学如是之晚,我可以在找房子之余,有充分的时间和心情寻访EM前人的足迹。Emetech首先是个亲切的地方,这个印象是Tom带给我的。Emetech Studio的小门很低调,没有标志,没有名字。在门口待了15分钟,没有人进出,准备走了的时候,Tom出现了。我立马上搭讪,我们握手,他说:KK,Let me show u around。工作室在地下一层,难怪我刚才在门外徘徊的时候,屋内毫无动静。才知道原来DRL有个工作室就是在楼上。以后,大家首先是握手点头,同道中人,聊着聊着就开始介绍方案。工作室在地下,后部有个小天井借点天光和空气下来。Tom卷了根烟,叫上Aven和Tommy等,我们在小天井中边抽烟边聊起来,把DRL的作品鄙视了一番,并考验了我进入Emetech的动机,鉴定完毕,认为我会在Emetech有一个愉快的学年。因为我透露出来自己很好学,富有科学精神,性格朴实无华,并且喜欢有道理的东西。haha
其次,Emtech是个充满异域风情的地方,有Tom,Aven两个纽约仔,Santiago哥伦比亚帅哥,西班牙美女Jane,Tommy越南仔,伊朗两个大帅哥。看到他们,仿佛想到了一年后的我。整日忙着做设计,思考着作品的逻辑,然后跟大家开开玩笑,入夜了,当然去pub喝酒,很晚了,回家做晚饭。伊朗人,在我的惯性思维中是与奔放,色情,嘻哈绝缘的。但是第一次跟这个伊朗人对视,伊眼中的迷离朦胧顿时让我产生了疑惑。伊开口的第一句话:“How many girls this year?"我顿时语噎,良久,答:“You like girls?"。我意识到我问的有点奇怪,还是有人打破尴尬,说He like animals。Jane的美是典型的西班牙女郎的风味,着实把我在街上看到的伦敦女人比了下去。英国不是以美女著称,最著名的女演员Keira Kneightley也难以称得上Gorgeous。
学习完了大家兴致浓厚,继续去pub喝酒。伊朗的哥们在Pub中彻底放开了,正好酒吧里有个英国girl主动和他搭讪,说自己正在学习阿拉伯语。他那忧郁的眼神,配上啤酒的芬芳,烟草的气息,和来自东方的神秘感,自然呈现出不可阻挡的典雅的气质。不过热乎完毕,出来抽烟的时候,他说We are persian, not arabian.然后大骂了伊朗的政府,然后问:so,do u like your government? 一幅来到自由世界很爽的样子。于是我发觉了他的幼稚,开始和Tom交流processing的问题。Tom再次鼓励我说:I'm sure you will have a good time in Emetech, because I have learned a lot this year.我们握手做别。
对于我们大多数人来说,18岁以前,学建筑的历史是不存在的,至少的确是无意识的。没有关注和切入的点,没有方法途径可言。而五年之后,23岁的我们已经知道,建筑生涯能否走的远并不取决于深厚的建筑理论素养或者包装成果的高超手法,也不取决于趣味的独到超然,甚至跟经验阅历的厚度和结构有时候也无足轻重。我知道奥妙在于其他方面,达人们自己也不会相信通过,理论,手法,趣味,经验任何一项登峰造极能真正让自己达到更加深远的境界,只有先有了境界,才有可能让其中一项达到登峰造极。
单总也跟我们说过,有的时候真的不要着急,该是你的就是你的。Em的师兄有的回国,有的留在伦敦,有的去其他国家进行实践。一年后谁知道我又会在什么地方忙碌着?你可以进很多大的公司,客户无数,项目汹涌,在商潮中施展技艺,出名头地。也有像Weinstock这样的号称smartest guy,在AA这么小众的位置上,带领着十几个人的精兵勇将,杀出别有洞天的世界,丰富着建筑学的内涵。什么才是最好的选择呢?真的不知道。有时候甚至是选择了以后才有考虑的资本。曾经在复旦和清华之间选择了清华,在生物和建筑之间选择了建筑,在美国和欧洲之间选择了欧洲,在TUD和aa之间选择了aa。
下一次的选择,就是去美国或者不去美国了吧。

Golden Lane Estate
从很早以前就知道AA是不提供住宿的的,但是以前跟所有人一样沉浸在拿到offer的喜悦中,快乐的毕业。不知道不提供住宿具体意味着什么。
但是现在我至少知道这意味着来英的第一周经历了三次搬迁,数次电话咨询,N次网上咨询和选择。
来英一周,漂泊一周,疾走一周,说笑一周,便餐一周,阴雨一周,搜索一周。
来英国前,我几乎想不到在英会有什么样的着落。尝试过探索学长,寻找亲友,以求能找到一处栖身之所。万幸的是,有个初中的同学在伦敦,他的公寓能让我落脚。第二日,拜访了claire之后,她介绍我在accomandation office寻求帮助。第三日,在Kath的帮助下,去看了一个叫做Golden Lane Estate的地方。这里离AA步行距离30分钟,距离Emetech的工作室只有15分钟的路程。来到这个地方,一出地铁站,视觉冲击。极其粗野的混凝土建筑,柯布西耶的野兽主义风格。是英国二次世界大战之后,政府组织竞赛,并授权胜出建筑师进行合作设计的重要复兴工程。2001年,Golden Lane Estate以及相邻的Barbican Estate被列为二级历史遗产。三个还是学生的现代主义的建筑师进行了合作设计,这里的高层住宅也成了伦敦的地标建筑,and Grade Two listed。我对于未来一年的住宅有了更加强烈的憧憬。
在伦敦市中心居住的价格高的吓人,一般房租都是在600 per month。我跟Kath提出的条件是,以AA为圆心,20分钟步行路程为半径的圆内,同时不要离工作室太远。找到房租550 per month的就跟我联系。不知是因为我最早咨询,还是她的工作效率很高,第二天就提供了这个信息给我。房东虽然不在建筑界,但是对AA有特别的感情,同时希望有能欣赏这些建筑的人入住。所以愿意在AA找到房客,并且房租是500,真的不贵了。

来英后,一直都没有稳定的住所啊。从Greenwich南搬到Greenwich北,再从Greenwich搬到Stratford,不是寄居朋友,就是换住小旅馆。与准房东Nigel协商比较顺利,Nigel人不错,一看我和FS是好学生的样子,果然关照一些,在很多细节费用上都没有为难我们,房子中的家具几乎全部留下。没有什么脾气的,我们和他签下了合同。也就是说,我们将在现代主义大师的作品中住下来了。
