“We always want to conquer space.”

“我们总是想征服空间”

Wolf Prix was in a robust mood as he took architectural filmmakers Spirit of Space on a tour of the Musée des Confluences in Lyon, France. Reflecting on the success of a building that has welcomed an estimated one million visitors since it opened a year ago, the founder of avant-garde architectural firm Coop Himmelb(l)au extolled the value of designing “mind-expanding machines” for the public through cultural architecture. Listen to his intriguing insights on Lyon’s latest landmark in this short film

沃尔夫·披治的情绪非常高涨，因为他的建筑系列电影“空间的精神”到访了法国里昂汇流博物馆——这个建筑开业仅一年就已经迎接了约一百万的游客，充分反映了文化建筑为地域带来的价值与魅力。奥地利蓝天组这个先锋建筑事务所的创始人阐释了通过文化建筑体现为公众设计“思维扩展机”价值。听他站在里昂的这个最新地标前讲述的有趣见解

Defendingthe project’s budget, Prix made some particularly pointed statements pertainingto the spending of public money, advocating for governments to place greateremphasis on cultural and educational spending rather than on the vast sumsoften saved for military purposes. “This museum only costs two militarybombers, air fighters,” remarked the architect. “The problem in criticizing whythis museum costs so much is that, [unlike] the air fighters, this museumcannot kill people.”

为确保该项目的预算，披治提出了针对公共资金支出的声明，主张政府更应重视文化和教育支出，而不是为了军事目的而节省开支。“这座博物馆的成本只需要两架军用轰炸机，空中战斗机，”建筑师说，“在指责这个博物馆的成本为什么如此大的问题时，我们更应看到：[不像]空中战斗机，这个博物馆不杀人。”

The outspoken architect also touched onevidence suggesting that complex or richly detailed architecture benefitspeople’s mental states: “If you are living in boring spaces, your brain doesn’twork in a creative way. This is what science finds out. The more enriched thespaces you are walking in, living in, studying in, even sleeping in, the moreit pushes your brain to be creative. We call that atmosphere.”

建筑师也直言不讳的谈到，复杂或细节丰富的架构有利于人的心理状态，“科学表明，如果你生活在枯燥的空间，你的大脑没有创造性地工作。但是当你走入的生活、学习甚至睡觉的空间越丰富，越能推进你的大脑创造性。我们将其称之为气氛。”

Prixencouraged designers to look to inspiration from beyond the realms ofarchitecture in order to generate remarkable concepts for the builtenvironment. “If you only think in architectural terms, only architecture willcome out,” exclaimed the Austrian. “We were fascinated by the space suit, bythe space helmet, by the Formula 1 racing car, by the music. The tension of theriffs of Keith Richards was the role model for our structure, sometimes. Weexperimented with mind-expanding machines … All these things were veryimportant. More important than those we drew from Palladio!”

披治鼓励设计师们从超越建筑的领域中寻找灵感，以产生卓越的建筑环境理念。“如果你只考虑建筑的话，那么就只有建筑会出现。”披治说，“我们对航天服、为太空头盔、为一级方程式赛车、为音乐等都会着迷，基思·理查兹的即兴表演有时都能成为我们结构的角色模型。我们以思维扩展机为实验......所有这些事情都是非常重要的，比我们从帕拉迪奥获得的经验更重要！”
