思考设计
Thinking about Design
The lecture will focus on how a design develops, using the process of developing the TCS Campus in Mumbai. Much like a new student in architecture we were dropped into a culture about which we knew virtually nothing and struggled to understand both the place and the people. This was all in an effort to eventually craft a campus design that felt as if it belonged in India.
本次讲座将以孟买TCS校园的设计过程为例，关注如何生成并发展一项设计。项目之初，我们就像建筑学新生一样，被投入到一个几乎一无所知的文化之中，试图去理解场地与当地的人们。诸般努力都是为了最终能设计出一个扎根于印度的校园。
