當(dāng)今中國(guó)城市的一個(gè)顯著特征是城市人群的流動(dòng)與空間的裂變，虛擬互聯(lián)社區(qū)的興起在給市民生活帶來(lái)豐富與變化的同時(shí)，也使傳統(tǒng)城市社區(qū)人群與空間組織中穩(wěn)定、緊密、親切的感受在慢慢地消失。我理解，建筑給城市創(chuàng)造的價(jià)值很大程度上不再是追求藝術(shù)創(chuàng)作的紀(jì)念性，而是強(qiáng)調(diào)對(duì)未來(lái)流動(dòng)城市中斷裂與碎化社區(qū)公共生活的整合與改善。因?yàn)?，城市公共生活的?shí)現(xiàn)依然有賴于融入城市、貼近生活并富有魅力的公共空間。營(yíng)造積極的公共空間，可以整合現(xiàn)代都市中日趨破碎的“失落空間”。因此，在WA城市貢獻(xiàn)獎(jiǎng)的諸多參評(píng)作品中，打動(dòng)我的不僅僅是這些作品空間形象的塑造，更在于踐行創(chuàng)造城市價(jià)值的設(shè)計(jì)師們，面對(duì)不同尺度的地段、不同功能定位和不同規(guī)模的建筑，所表達(dá)出的對(duì)未來(lái)城市生活的深入思考，以及兼具人文情懷和藝術(shù)特質(zhì)的表達(dá)。

社會(huì)公平獎(jiǎng)很可能是WA中國(guó)建筑獎(jiǎng)中最具潛力的獎(jiǎng)項(xiàng)，它強(qiáng)調(diào)的是建筑改變生活的能力。請(qǐng)?jiān)u委給各個(gè)項(xiàng)目的社會(huì)價(jià)值區(qū)分高下絕非易事。從效益上看，社區(qū)的新公共廁所與圖書(shū)室、重建的清真寺與少年活動(dòng)中心孰優(yōu)孰劣？在偏遠(yuǎn)的鄉(xiāng)村或城市中心，哪里是能獲得最大化集體利益的地方？

面對(duì)中國(guó)各地的杰出項(xiàng)目，評(píng)委之間展開(kāi)了持久的討論。最終，東江源環(huán)境教育中心被評(píng)為WA社會(huì)公平獎(jiǎng)的優(yōu)勝項(xiàng)目，突出了環(huán)境問(wèn)題在全球的重要性。值得注意的是，雖然很多項(xiàng)目的規(guī)模很小，比如“皮影劇院”和“格萊珉中國(guó)的鄉(xiāng)村銀行”，卻在觸及和轉(zhuǎn)變?nèi)藗兊纳顚用嫔嫌兄h(yuǎn)大的理想。

又到了收獲的季節(jié)，又參加了WA中國(guó)建筑獎(jiǎng)的評(píng)審會(huì)。相比上屆的報(bào)獎(jiǎng)作品，這次無(wú)論是數(shù)量還是質(zhì)量都有了不小的提升。建筑師們也似乎對(duì)不同獎(jiǎng)項(xiàng)的價(jià)值觀更了解了，申報(bào)作品也更有針對(duì)性了，這無(wú)疑也給評(píng)委的工作增加了難度，在都很優(yōu)秀的作品中要尋找具有說(shuō)服力的差別并不容易，當(dāng)然這也促進(jìn)了中外評(píng)委們的積極討論，試圖在作品的外在視覺(jué)和內(nèi)在觀念之間找到平衡點(diǎn)，這是個(gè)有趣也有意義的體驗(yàn)。謝謝所有為此付出努力的同仁，你們的工作讓我們也滿載而歸。

世紀(jì)之交的中國(guó)大地在城市化的驅(qū)動(dòng)下，大小城市猶如雨后春筍蔓延、生長(zhǎng)，各地充滿了對(duì)建筑物的需求，各種各樣的建筑物隨之拔地而起。如此，對(duì)于設(shè)計(jì)行業(yè)而言，形勢(shì)一派大好。可是另一方面，建筑作品魚(yú)龍混雜，創(chuàng)作思潮、標(biāo)準(zhǔn)都混亂不堪。此時(shí)此刻，作為以介紹世界上優(yōu)秀建筑作品而著稱的學(xué)術(shù)期刊《世界建筑》做了一件在今天看來(lái)很了不起的事：舉辦兩年一次的“WA中國(guó)建筑獎(jiǎng)”（WAACA）的評(píng)選活動(dòng)，以獲獎(jiǎng)的建筑作品向人們展示建筑創(chuàng)作價(jià)值觀。作為建筑學(xué)界的一員，從對(duì)獲獎(jiǎng)作品的認(rèn)同到關(guān)注這個(gè)獎(jiǎng)項(xiàng)歷時(shí)十幾年，我看到了“中國(guó)建筑獎(jiǎng)”如何堅(jiān)持建筑創(chuàng)作的核心價(jià)值、如何展示作品質(zhì)量，以及如何傳播優(yōu)秀建筑并深入人心。

2014年開(kāi)始，“WA中國(guó)建筑獎(jiǎng)”有了新的變化，設(shè)置了不同類別的獎(jiǎng)項(xiàng)，應(yīng)對(duì)不同的價(jià)值訴求，本人認(rèn)為這次細(xì)分意義重大。之前的評(píng)選確立的是建筑作品形式的價(jià)值取向，而這次細(xì)分則直指作品內(nèi)涵的價(jià)值取向。事實(shí)上，中國(guó)建筑設(shè)計(jì)創(chuàng)作的確到了由表及里、追求內(nèi)涵的階段。值得一提的是，分獎(jiǎng)項(xiàng)里設(shè)置了城市貢獻(xiàn)獎(jiǎng)，旨在表彰對(duì)城市空間作出貢獻(xiàn)的建筑創(chuàng)作。相對(duì)其他分類，這個(gè)分類更有意思的地方在于它的指向不那么明確，給建筑師留出巨大的思考空間，首先得理解“怎樣才堪稱對(duì)城市有貢獻(xiàn)”，對(duì)于當(dāng)下非常時(shí)髦的“城市設(shè)計(jì)”來(lái)說(shuō)，建筑物的“城市貢獻(xiàn)”似乎更為現(xiàn)實(shí)。作為不太明確而極其有意思的分類，從投稿的作品中我們也看到了中國(guó)建筑師們對(duì)“城市建筑”的豐富多彩的認(rèn)知和應(yīng)答。從現(xiàn)實(shí)狀況看，城市將集聚大量建筑，眾多好建筑的集聚并不意味著一定形成好的城市空間。“城市貢獻(xiàn)”這個(gè)關(guān)鍵詞太重要了，它與時(shí)俱進(jìn)，給走向成熟的中國(guó)建筑師群體提出了新的目標(biāo)和挑戰(zhàn)。

技術(shù)從來(lái)都是建筑中一個(gè)無(wú)法忽視的重要層面。在今天中國(guó)的設(shè)計(jì)和建造行業(yè)，我們對(duì)技術(shù)的尊重和追求進(jìn)取不是過(guò)度，而是存在明顯不足。這也我們的建筑水平離世界最高品質(zhì)還有差距的重要原因之一。我想這也是WA獎(jiǎng)設(shè)置技術(shù)進(jìn)步獎(jiǎng)的意義所在。但是需要提出的是，技術(shù)的終極目標(biāo)，并非炫耀技術(shù)本身。技術(shù)最終是要為空間中人的良好的生活和精神感受服務(wù)的。

初識(shí)《世界建筑》主辦的WA中國(guó)建筑獎(jiǎng)，是前兩年我院老師設(shè)計(jì)的七平米住宅獲獎(jiǎng)事件，這讓我對(duì)主辦方的獨(dú)到視角、獎(jiǎng)項(xiàng)設(shè)置產(chǎn)生了深厚的興趣并加以關(guān)注。

再識(shí)WA中國(guó)建筑獎(jiǎng)是2016年很榮幸受邀擔(dān)任技術(shù)組評(píng)委，經(jīng)過(guò)這次的評(píng)審，再次加深了對(duì)世界建筑雜志社的認(rèn)識(shí)，特別感概雜志社對(duì)這項(xiàng)工作的認(rèn)真專注和眼界定位。無(wú)論是獎(jiǎng)項(xiàng)的設(shè)置、評(píng)委的選擇，還是前前后后的服務(wù)和工作的嚴(yán)謹(jǐn)，都給我留下了極深極好的印象。這個(gè)獎(jiǎng)項(xiàng)也已在業(yè)界享有勝譽(yù)，相信并期待越辦越好！

“WA 居住貢獻(xiàn)獎(jiǎng)”以居住品質(zhì)和居住環(huán)境的提升為價(jià)值導(dǎo)向，其核心指向顯然在于對(duì)居住作為人在現(xiàn)實(shí)資源條件下實(shí)現(xiàn)生活場(chǎng)所的理解，而這正是居住的基本內(nèi)涵。

無(wú)論從本次申報(bào)作品還是獲獎(jiǎng)作品來(lái)看，類型的多樣性是一大亮點(diǎn)。這從一個(gè)側(cè)面反映了中國(guó)居住建筑的創(chuàng)作正在從傳統(tǒng)的基于戶型的類型抽象轉(zhuǎn)向?qū)唧w資源條件下不同人群的居住形態(tài)的差異性捕捉，這不僅表現(xiàn)出設(shè)計(jì)師對(duì)使用者現(xiàn)實(shí)生活的敏銳體察，也預(yù)示了生活文化的一種積極取向。高層集合住宅可以營(yíng)造出個(gè)體專屬的空間景致；公社居住可以有隨意輕松的自主活動(dòng)；咫尺之所同樣可以享受空間的余域。設(shè)計(jì)對(duì)特定的環(huán)境與特定的居者之間的關(guān)聯(lián)詮釋了生活的尊嚴(yán)和生活的詩(shī)意。

在申報(bào)WA居住貢獻(xiàn)獎(jiǎng)的幾十個(gè)項(xiàng)目中， 有胡同民居的改造，有為災(zāi)民援建的震后居所，也有鄉(xiāng)村建設(shè)大潮中涌現(xiàn)的民宿，當(dāng)然，還有城市集合住宅。在那些規(guī)模較小的民宅村居項(xiàng)目中，無(wú)論是材料的選擇、空間的營(yíng)造，還是對(duì)居住者行為的引導(dǎo)和組織，大都體現(xiàn)出了建筑師的獨(dú)具匠心；而在集合住宅這一居住類型中，雖然“唐山第三空間綜合體”和“新青年公社”項(xiàng)目給人耳目一新之感，體現(xiàn)出建筑師尋求打破慣常平庸的平面布局、賦予居住生活空間以活力的努力，但遺憾的是，從提交的大多數(shù)集合住宅項(xiàng)目中，幾乎看不到建筑師對(duì)這一量大面廣，某種程度上可以改變、提升城市空間和居民生活品質(zhì)的建筑類型，做出多少探索性的設(shè)計(jì)研究。因循舊制、平淡乏味之作占據(jù)了這一居住類型中的絕大部分。

WA社會(huì)公平獎(jiǎng)是一個(gè)每次自己申報(bào)WA中國(guó)建筑獎(jiǎng)的時(shí)候，想來(lái)想去都放棄申請(qǐng)的類別。雖說(shuō)做過(guò)的很多公共項(xiàng)目都可以算是和這個(gè)主題相關(guān)，但深入想的話，又覺(jué)得并不具有足夠的說(shuō)服力。這種糾結(jié)，也出現(xiàn)在這次受邀擔(dān)任評(píng)委的過(guò)程中。在中國(guó)當(dāng)下的社會(huì)現(xiàn)實(shí)里，能夠真正切合這個(gè)主題、同時(shí)又展現(xiàn)出較高的設(shè)計(jì)與建造水平的作品，的確并不多見(jiàn)，這也從評(píng)審過(guò)程中評(píng)委激烈有趣的辯論中清楚地反映出來(lái)。這個(gè)獎(jiǎng)項(xiàng)所拋出的問(wèn)題也許更為重要：建筑設(shè)計(jì)確實(shí)可以推動(dòng)社會(huì)公平嗎？評(píng)價(jià)關(guān)注弱勢(shì)群體的設(shè)計(jì)需要采取不同的學(xué)術(shù)標(biāo)準(zhǔn)嗎？是否有一天，對(duì)弱勢(shì)群體、社會(huì)公平的關(guān)注成為普遍意識(shí)，并融入到建筑實(shí)踐之中，每一個(gè)優(yōu)秀建筑都可以申報(bào)“社會(huì)公平獎(jiǎng)”，那時(shí)候，我們才可能進(jìn)入到一個(gè)真正“公平”的社會(huì)？

長(zhǎng)久以來(lái)，建筑獎(jiǎng)項(xiàng)的設(shè)置更多是從建筑圖紙和攝影師的圖像加以判斷。WA建筑成就獎(jiǎng)的設(shè)置，更多考慮了使用者用后評(píng)估和經(jīng)過(guò)一段時(shí)間的影響力考量。這似乎更接近于美國(guó)25周年建筑獎(jiǎng)的初衷。本次參評(píng)的許多作品，都有幾位評(píng)委在現(xiàn)場(chǎng)考察或體驗(yàn)過(guò)，并在評(píng)審時(shí)陳述供其他評(píng)委參考。評(píng)審過(guò)程也讓人印象深刻，開(kāi)放自由的討論甚至爭(zhēng)論，使得評(píng)價(jià)標(biāo)準(zhǔn)更具批判性。美中不足的是，由于獎(jiǎng)項(xiàng)的宣傳力度稍顯不足，在建筑師中的知曉度尚待提高。但假以時(shí)日，一定會(huì)成為當(dāng)代中國(guó)建筑的重要風(fēng)向標(biāo)。

2016年是我第一次參與WA中國(guó)建筑獎(jiǎng)的評(píng)選工作，很好奇也很激動(dòng)。WA建筑成就獎(jiǎng)在我看來(lái)是一個(gè)真正把建筑作為時(shí)間藝術(shù)的獎(jiǎng)項(xiàng)， 是個(gè)分量很重、綜合性最強(qiáng)的獎(jiǎng)項(xiàng)。在當(dāng)下繁雜和快餐式的現(xiàn)實(shí)社會(huì)里，如果建筑真能像紅酒一樣逾久逾香醇，我認(rèn)為，這才是建筑的永恒和魅力所在。在這些參選作品中，建筑師對(duì)于空間及其使用在更長(zhǎng)時(shí)間維度上的思考和呈現(xiàn)，是我非常期待的內(nèi)容。

這次參選作品具有多樣化的特點(diǎn)，有小尺度、體現(xiàn)快速建構(gòu)的示范建筑，也有大尺度大街區(qū)的城市更新項(xiàng)目，更多的是公共設(shè)施以及藝術(shù)場(chǎng)館項(xiàng)目。作為大多數(shù)的后者，在設(shè)計(jì)理念和使用結(jié)果上沒(méi)有太多的懸念，公共設(shè)施和藝術(shù)場(chǎng)館的使用本身就與運(yùn)營(yíng)主體和經(jīng)營(yíng)水平有很大的關(guān)系，因此我們看到的更多是運(yùn)營(yíng)主體日常管理水平的高低，而不是建筑師的初心和本身的設(shè)計(jì)力量；小尺度的建筑實(shí)驗(yàn)和原創(chuàng)，雖然令人激動(dòng)，但能否上升到建筑成就獎(jiǎng)的層面，在評(píng)委中也引發(fā)了不少的爭(zhēng)論。

最終深圳 “華僑城創(chuàng)意文化園改造”獲得優(yōu)勝，卻是所有評(píng)委的共識(shí)。作為一個(gè)城市設(shè)計(jì)和城市更新的代表案例，項(xiàng)目不僅創(chuàng)造了城市更新和建筑改造的即時(shí)設(shè)計(jì)示范，更提供了一種長(zhǎng)遠(yuǎn)的社區(qū)營(yíng)造策略。它激發(fā)了一個(gè)自我生長(zhǎng)和開(kāi)放兼容的良性機(jī)制，使得更新成為持續(xù)的過(guò)程具有深遠(yuǎn)的社會(huì)示范意義。

“WA居住貢獻(xiàn)獎(jiǎng)”直接回應(yīng)的是最具普遍性的建筑類型。人文關(guān)懷、設(shè)計(jì)呈現(xiàn)與技術(shù)應(yīng)用都是住宅設(shè)計(jì)所應(yīng)關(guān)注的。高層住宅是中國(guó)最主要的住宅類型，商業(yè)化、模式化最嚴(yán)重，設(shè)計(jì)上的突破挑戰(zhàn)巨大，而意義也很大。所以我傾向于把優(yōu)勝獎(jiǎng)?lì)C給“唐山第三空間綜合體”，表彰建筑師在對(duì)高層住宅的人文思考和形式與空間上的創(chuàng)新嘗試。共享居住設(shè)計(jì)是當(dāng)下的熱門話題，“新青年公社”提供了一個(gè)很好的范本，“四分院”直面最為敏感的北京四合雜院的更新改造難題，提出了頗具新意的解決思路。兩個(gè)作品都很值得嘉獎(jiǎng)。WA中國(guó)建筑獎(jiǎng)是中國(guó)建筑設(shè)計(jì)界最有影響力的建筑獎(jiǎng)之一，很榮幸作為評(píng)審人。相信它能夠持續(xù)積累信譽(yù)，強(qiáng)化特色，優(yōu)化獎(jiǎng)項(xiàng)和評(píng)獎(jiǎng)方式，越辦越好。

2016年有幸參加WA獎(jiǎng)的“社會(huì)公平獎(jiǎng)”的評(píng)審，頗有感慨。這個(gè)獎(jiǎng)項(xiàng)的設(shè)置，從觀念上首先把建筑師置于一個(gè)社會(huì)意義的“人”的身份來(lái)重新看待，盡管建筑師在任何一個(gè)項(xiàng)目中都有義務(wù)、有必要去思考建筑的社會(huì)意義，但項(xiàng)目的類型與地點(diǎn)可能在相當(dāng)程度上決定了建筑師在這個(gè)問(wèn)題上著力的深淺。這在“社會(huì)公平獎(jiǎng)”的評(píng)審中表現(xiàn)的尤為明顯，在這個(gè)前提下，是看重設(shè)計(jì)本身的價(jià)值還是設(shè)計(jì)的結(jié)果所產(chǎn)生的社會(huì)價(jià)值？這個(gè)疑問(wèn)在評(píng)審過(guò)程中一直伴隨著我，我希望找到一個(gè)二者兼具的作品，但有時(shí)候單憑幾張圖紙和照片在很短的時(shí)間內(nèi)也很難判斷設(shè)計(jì)的動(dòng)機(jī)及其所產(chǎn)生的實(shí)際結(jié)果究竟如何。但不管怎樣，這個(gè)獎(jiǎng)項(xiàng)的設(shè)置，已足以讓我們重新思考建筑師這個(gè)職業(yè)所能承擔(dān)的社會(huì)意義。

連續(xù)參加了兩屆WA中國(guó)建筑獎(jiǎng)的評(píng)選，感觸很深。從獎(jiǎng)項(xiàng)設(shè)置到評(píng)審原則，WA中國(guó)建筑獎(jiǎng)有著鮮明的指向，它所追求和倡導(dǎo)的不是題材與敘事的宏大，而是立足時(shí)代與地域，圍繞建筑的本質(zhì)，挖掘平凡與細(xì)微中的精彩，而這些正是我們?cè)趲资昕焖俪鞘谢M(jìn)程中所缺失的。2016年的申報(bào)作品都很精彩，很多項(xiàng)目以批判性的視角與實(shí)踐詮釋了社會(huì)公平、人文關(guān)懷、技術(shù)進(jìn)步等主題，這對(duì)于我國(guó)未來(lái)的建筑走向起到了很好的引導(dǎo)作用。我參加的是居住貢獻(xiàn)獎(jiǎng)的評(píng)選，獲得優(yōu)勝獎(jiǎng)的作品是“唐山第三空間綜合體”，給我留下很深的印象。該項(xiàng)目從形式、空間、結(jié)構(gòu)與功能等層面，對(duì)居住建筑進(jìn)行創(chuàng)新，以“定制化”的設(shè)計(jì)模式超越了傳統(tǒng)“程式化”思維桎梏下建筑的機(jī)械與呆板，為城市增添了活力。最后，希望下一屆 WA中國(guó)建筑獎(jiǎng)能夠繼續(xù)呈現(xiàn)更多優(yōu)秀的作品。

20多年來(lái)，中國(guó)一直被視為難以實(shí)現(xiàn)的、最具挑戰(zhàn)性的建筑的“香格里拉”。大部分西方雜志發(fā)表的圖片以及曾在中國(guó)工作的外國(guó)設(shè)計(jì)師的看法，讓我認(rèn)為這是一個(gè)由無(wú)數(shù)大體量建筑構(gòu)成的大都市環(huán)境。巨大與消費(fèi)是代表這一歷史階段的關(guān)鍵詞，但我總感覺(jué)截然不同的新一代即將出現(xiàn)，并展現(xiàn)出當(dāng)代中國(guó)社會(huì)的不同形象。

在WA中國(guó)建筑獎(jiǎng)最新一屆評(píng)獎(jiǎng)中擔(dān)任三個(gè)不同獎(jiǎng)項(xiàng)評(píng)委的經(jīng)驗(yàn)充分印證了我的感覺(jué)。

我有幸評(píng)鑒的大部分建成項(xiàng)目讓我看到了對(duì)現(xiàn)存文脈的高度關(guān)注、與地方傳統(tǒng)進(jìn)行創(chuàng)新對(duì)話的研究，以及從社會(huì)和環(huán)境上對(duì)可持續(xù)性理念的探究。這些項(xiàng)目代表的一代中國(guó)建筑師，用多元的智慧和方法去面對(duì)城市過(guò)度發(fā)展和重大生態(tài)目標(biāo)帶來(lái)的復(fù)雜而艱巨的挑戰(zhàn)。讓我們拭目以待巔峰之作的問(wèn)世。

我是第二次參加WA中國(guó)建筑獎(jiǎng)的評(píng)選，從上屆的“WA技術(shù)進(jìn)步獎(jiǎng)”轉(zhuǎn)為這屆的“WA城市貢獻(xiàn)獎(jiǎng)”，角度變換了，但都是我喜歡的?？傮w感覺(jué)，2016年申報(bào)建筑師的數(shù)量比上屆多，但評(píng)審過(guò)程并沒(méi)有想象的復(fù)雜，數(shù)量增加了數(shù)倍但沒(méi)有讓工作量倍增，原因是申報(bào)者對(duì)“城市貢獻(xiàn)”的理解并不深刻，導(dǎo)致許多申報(bào)項(xiàng)目完全不符合城市貢獻(xiàn)的主題。比如，申報(bào)材料里面對(duì)建筑紅線以外的東西完全忽略，甚至認(rèn)為：我這是個(gè)大建筑，對(duì)城市一定有貢獻(xiàn)！這其實(shí)是中國(guó)建筑的一個(gè)非常令人擔(dān)憂的現(xiàn)實(shí)，普遍忽視建筑對(duì)城市空間形成、場(chǎng)所營(yíng)造的積極貢獻(xiàn)，依然停留在自?shī)首詷?lè)的孤芳自賞階段。而城市邏輯和思想的貧瘠更讓建筑師關(guān)注于形式而非城市。因此，我覺(jué)得“城市貢獻(xiàn)獎(jiǎng)”是一個(gè)非常重要的獎(jiǎng)項(xiàng)，對(duì)于當(dāng)今中國(guó)城市而言，其重要性尤其突出。期待未來(lái)的中國(guó)建筑師能夠主動(dòng)關(guān)注城市問(wèn)題，為城市而設(shè)計(jì)，為場(chǎng)所而營(yíng)建！

近年，中國(guó)建筑設(shè)計(jì)創(chuàng)作的社會(huì)性、思想性、探索性和場(chǎng)所性均獲得了半個(gè)多世紀(jì)以來(lái)難得的長(zhǎng)足發(fā)展，這一發(fā)展逾越了建筑單純的工程屬性和教科書(shū)屬性而逐漸呈現(xiàn)出一個(gè)多元、多樣、多姿、多態(tài)的建筑學(xué)圖景。這樣的圖景如何評(píng)價(jià)、如何通過(guò)細(xì)分的類型和個(gè)體側(cè)重賦予其建筑設(shè)計(jì)發(fā)展的標(biāo)桿和導(dǎo)向就成為WA中國(guó)建筑獎(jiǎng)設(shè)置的意義和價(jià)值。各個(gè)評(píng)審類型特色各具的評(píng)判標(biāo)準(zhǔn)，主要是針對(duì)建筑師的專業(yè)工作，彌補(bǔ)了主流的基于“大而全”的工程評(píng)獎(jiǎng)中建筑師原創(chuàng)水平評(píng)判標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的缺失，越來(lái)越多的建筑師把作品有沒(méi)有實(shí)力去參評(píng)乃至獲獎(jiǎng)作為重要的專業(yè)追求。作為評(píng)委參加了2016年度WA中國(guó)建筑獎(jiǎng)兩個(gè)類別的評(píng)審，僅就WA技術(shù)進(jìn)步獎(jiǎng)而言，我們就看到了相當(dāng)豐富的建筑技術(shù)創(chuàng)新探索。其中有兩個(gè)以素混凝土作為主要建筑元素的作品，不僅材料與結(jié)構(gòu)渾然一體，表達(dá)了建筑本初的基本屬性，而且空間和場(chǎng)所營(yíng)造也充滿感官審美的愉悅。而另一個(gè)古代宮殿建筑室內(nèi)空間展陳物理環(huán)境的改造也給我留下深刻印象，它也完全可以作為日后同類的文物建筑保護(hù)和適應(yīng)性改造再生的參考樣本。

本屆WA設(shè)計(jì)實(shí)驗(yàn)獎(jiǎng)的報(bào)獎(jiǎng)項(xiàng)目與往年相比要多得多，規(guī)模上大的有劇場(chǎng)、學(xué)校，小的有休息亭甚至裝置，建筑類型多樣，好的作品所占的比例也比往屆要高，因而也給評(píng)審帶來(lái)很大的難度。最終評(píng)出的獎(jiǎng)項(xiàng)雖然經(jīng)過(guò)評(píng)委會(huì)嚴(yán)肅認(rèn)真的評(píng)閱和反復(fù)討論，但還是覺(jué)得有些遺憾，有許多結(jié)合國(guó)情并有創(chuàng)新價(jià)值的建成作品沒(méi)能獲獎(jiǎng)。從本屆設(shè)計(jì)實(shí)驗(yàn)獎(jiǎng)100多個(gè)申報(bào)項(xiàng)目中可以看到我國(guó)當(dāng)下建筑創(chuàng)作的一個(gè)片斷，也反映了我國(guó)建筑界近年活躍的創(chuàng)作氛圍。希望下一屆WA中國(guó)建筑獎(jiǎng)的評(píng)選活動(dòng)有更多的建筑師參與進(jìn)來(lái)，涌現(xiàn)出更多好的作品。

有幸受邀參加2016年WA建筑成就獎(jiǎng)的評(píng)選工作,看到這么多優(yōu)秀的建筑作品，去感知它們被注入的情感，去感受它們被賦予的歷史責(zé)任和時(shí)代精神，讓人振奮。

30年來(lái)，中國(guó)城鎮(zhèn)化進(jìn)程持續(xù)加速，在一番轟轟烈烈的建設(shè)過(guò)后，我們靜心反思“建筑要弘揚(yáng)什么，要體現(xiàn)什么”的時(shí)候，中央城市工作會(huì)議提出“適用、經(jīng)濟(jì)、綠色、美觀”的新時(shí)期建筑方針，為我們指明了方向?？上驳氖?，本次評(píng)獎(jiǎng)標(biāo)準(zhǔn)與新時(shí)期建筑方針高度吻合，參評(píng)作品也與新時(shí)期建筑方針形成呼應(yīng)，獲獎(jiǎng)作品也全面體現(xiàn)和詮釋了這一理念，我深受鼓舞，深感欣慰。

應(yīng)該講，這樣的建筑創(chuàng)作，才是具有生命力的，才是經(jīng)得起歷史考驗(yàn)的，才是能夠受到專家認(rèn)可和大眾稱道的。我也十分高興能夠與這么多專家共同研討、欣賞這些優(yōu)秀作品，學(xué)習(xí)建筑師們的創(chuàng)作體會(huì)。可以說(shuō)，這次《世界建筑》主辦的評(píng)獎(jiǎng)工作意義重大，這個(gè)獎(jiǎng)項(xiàng)賦予了建筑新的時(shí)代特征，也將進(jìn)一步推動(dòng)和引領(lǐng)建筑行業(yè)的發(fā)展。

“WA技術(shù)進(jìn)步獎(jiǎng)”將其核心價(jià)值定位于“技術(shù)的切實(shí)進(jìn)步與成果”，要求建筑師能以創(chuàng)造性的技術(shù)手段解決現(xiàn)實(shí)問(wèn)題。這是評(píng)委評(píng)選的重要標(biāo)準(zhǔn)，從參選的項(xiàng)目來(lái)看，其設(shè)計(jì)與建造也多數(shù)體現(xiàn)了這一宗旨。

評(píng)選過(guò)程中，評(píng)委們依然很關(guān)注能夠在視覺(jué)和情感上被打動(dòng)的作品。無(wú)疑一個(gè)巧妙的構(gòu)思，一個(gè)美的、令人愉悅的空間形式是能夠推動(dòng)技術(shù)進(jìn)步的，它與“創(chuàng)造性技術(shù)手段”互為因果，這或許也是設(shè)立技術(shù)進(jìn)步獎(jiǎng)的初衷。建筑美學(xué)說(shuō)到底就是技術(shù)美學(xué)，是藝術(shù)與技術(shù)的結(jié)合。

又一次有幸參加WA中國(guó)建筑獎(jiǎng) “技術(shù)進(jìn)步獎(jiǎng)”獎(jiǎng)項(xiàng)的評(píng)選。首先我對(duì)三個(gè)獲獎(jiǎng)作品表示祝賀，其次我想談?wù)勅c(diǎn)膚淺的感受。第一，設(shè)立“技術(shù)進(jìn)步獎(jiǎng)”的宗旨是鼓勵(lì)和推進(jìn)“以創(chuàng)造性的技術(shù)手段解決現(xiàn)實(shí)問(wèn)題”。中國(guó)當(dāng)代建筑的進(jìn)步是有目共睹的，但比較而言，通過(guò)建筑技術(shù)的進(jìn)步促進(jìn)建筑品質(zhì)提升的貢獻(xiàn)度并不是那么明顯，這從中國(guó)建筑整體發(fā)展?fàn)顟B(tài)及參賽作品中可見(jiàn)一斑；第二，在參賽的大多數(shù)作品中，參賽者只是把自己的作品歸入“技術(shù)進(jìn)步獎(jiǎng)”這一類型而已，較少凸顯和明晰是什么技術(shù)、方法取得什么獨(dú)特的進(jìn)步和成果，更沒(méi)有技術(shù)數(shù)據(jù)的支撐。原因可能是作品缺乏實(shí)際的技術(shù)進(jìn)步的含金量，也可能是參賽者如何宣傳核心價(jià)值的意識(shí)不夠；第三，取得“技術(shù)的切實(shí)進(jìn)步與成果”并不是一件容易的事。但隨著建筑師不懈的探索與尋求真正基于當(dāng)下現(xiàn)實(shí)的中國(guó)建筑的努力，相信會(huì)有更多根植于建筑學(xué)的基本意義之上的建筑技術(shù)進(jìn)步。

我參加過(guò)幾次WA中國(guó)建筑獎(jiǎng)評(píng)審會(huì)，感覺(jué)一次比一次好，一次比一次影響大，特色也越來(lái)越突出，究其原因，可能表現(xiàn)在以下幾點(diǎn)：

定位準(zhǔn)確、持之以恒。縱觀近年來(lái)的建筑獎(jiǎng)評(píng)審，有政府的、行業(yè)的、社會(huì)的、媒體的、高校的等等，林林總總，目不暇接，但WA中國(guó)建筑獎(jiǎng)的項(xiàng)目征集有自己的主題和學(xué)術(shù)導(dǎo)向，緊扣當(dāng)下熱點(diǎn)，把握時(shí)代脈搏，并且不間斷地堅(jiān)持走自己的路，已經(jīng)成為建筑界有重要影響的獎(jiǎng)項(xiàng)。

開(kāi)放包容、兼收并蓄。WA中國(guó)建筑獎(jiǎng)在項(xiàng)目征集上不畫框框，不設(shè)門檻，只要符合征集要求，不論體制內(nèi)還是體制外的學(xué)者、不論設(shè)計(jì)院還是高等院校的設(shè)計(jì)，不論何種流派、何種思潮的作品，全都?xì)g迎投稿，這種開(kāi)放包容的姿態(tài)得到了業(yè)界的歡迎，作品一年比一年多也就在情理之中了。

學(xué)風(fēng)嚴(yán)謹(jǐn)、公正透明。每屆的WA中國(guó)建筑獎(jiǎng)都邀請(qǐng)了國(guó)內(nèi)外著名的建筑與規(guī)劃專家進(jìn)行評(píng)審，并且全部采用匿名評(píng)審的方式，評(píng)委之間時(shí)常會(huì)有激烈的討論，既是一次嚴(yán)謹(jǐn)?shù)脑u(píng)審，也是一場(chǎng)開(kāi)放的學(xué)術(shù)交流，評(píng)委們都很珍惜每屆評(píng)審的機(jī)會(huì)。我想這種正能量的碰撞，定能為建筑界產(chǎn)生出蓬勃向上的火花。

BIAN Lanchun

Jury member of WA City Regeneration Award

Professor, School of Architecture, Tsinghua UniversityStriking features of Chinese cities today are the mobility of urban populations and the fragmentation of space. Additionally, the rise of virtual communities has enriched as well as changed urban life - the stable and friendly atmosphere of traditional urban communities and spatial organizations is slowly disappearing. In my understanding, architecture no longer gives value to cities through artistic creation but rather through decreasing urban sprawl and fragmentation, which improves the quality of (mobile) community life in the future city. This is because the realization of public life still depends on integration into the urban setting, the proximity to life, and the attractiveness of public spaces. Constructing active spaces can increase urban cohesion and bring back the "lost (public) space." The element that most impressed me in many works was thus not the creation of visualspatial relationships. Rather, I was truly impressed by the way some designers, confronting challenges of all kinds (diferent scales, diferent functions, diferent sizes of buildings and sites), struck an appropriate balance between human and artistic considerations and created practical value for future urban life.

The Social Equality Award is possibly the most potent category among WA Awards for Chinese Architecture; it highlights architecture's capacity to change lives. It was a daunting prospect for the jury members to ascertain the greater social value of one project over others. How might one measure the beneficial impact for a community of a new public toilet against that of a library, or the reconstruction of a mosque against a youth center? Where are the greatest collective gains to be made in an isolated rural setting or an inner city urban location?

A prolonged discussion ensued among the jury members faced with such an impressive array of projects from across China. Ultimately, the Dongjiangyuan Environmental Education Center was chosen as the winner - underlining environmental concerns as a global priority. It was notable that although many projects such as the Shadow Play Theater and Grameen Village Bank were small in scale, they were ambitious in their desire to touch and transform people's lives.

The planners and designers of the winning project for the WA Architectural Achievement Award, OCT-LOFT Renovation in Shenzhen, did not follow the instinct of every architect to create something new. Instead, they focused on the relatively new, 30-year-old fields of preservation, renovation, and regeneration of industrial environments, which combine post-industrial popular arts with the brand design industry to create a series of interconnected scenarios and events. This award confirms that the long-term value of architecture lies not only in spatial design, but also in life design.

The winning project of the WA Housing Award, The Third Space, revolutionizes the conventional understanding of what a high-rise or penthouse building is and looks like by suspending a room outside the main building, thereby breaking new ground in the exploration of domestic housing design. Finalist projects and those awarded honorable mentions focus on organically upgrading urban and rural historical living environments, such as New Youth Commune, Split Courtyard House, Refurbishment of Residence in Warren of Nanluoguxiang Hutong, Lettuce House Sustainable Living Laboratory, Treehouse, and Nine House. These projects all stimulate ideas from sustainable design to cope with the renovation and regeneration of urban and rural living.

It is again time for the WA Architecture Awards. Compared to the last competition, this year's submissions have greatly increased in both quantity and quality. Architects have gained a better understanding of the different award categories so that their works had better correspond to the specific requirements of each category, which undoubtedly brings more difficulties to the judges because it is not easy to identify convincing diferences among these excellent works. However, this has promoted discussion among the Chinese and international jury members, prompting them to strike the balance between valuing the outward appearance and the inner concept of the works. For me, this has been an interesting and meaningful experience. Many thanks to all my colleagues who have made great eforts to make this event happen. Your work has enabled us to obtain fruitful results.

DING Wowo

Jury member of WA City Regeneration Award

Driven by China's urbanization, small and big cities are beginning to spring up and sprawl, and architecture is flourishing all over the country. There is a promising future for the design industry. However, architectural works mix apples and oranges, different ideas and standards. At this moment, as the leading academic journal introducing outstanding architecture from around the globe to China, World Architecture has launched a great undertaking - to hold a biennale competition entitled WA Awards for Chinese Architecture (WAACA) and to present the architectural and design concepts of the winning projects. As a member of the Architectural Society, I have followed this competition for over ten years and witnessed how WAACA has upheld core values of architectural design, exhibited design quality, and brought excellent works closer to the public.

Since 2014, WAACA has awarded prizes in different categories for different value pursuits. I think this move is significant. In contrast to previous competitions, such an approach allows us to directly evaluate the essential inner properties of a work. This is in line with the development of architectural design in China that has shifted focus from external form to inner meaning. Thus, it is noteworthy that the WA City Regeneration Award aims to honor works' contributions to urban space (its regeneration and further development). Compared to other awards, the criteria of this award are not fully specifed, which leaves room forinterpretation by the architects. What first comes to my mind is the question of what a contribution to the city is. Compared to the popular "city design", the "city regeneration" value of an architecture is more realistic. In this category's interesting and ambiguous content, we can see a different understanding and architectural response to urban fabric in the works. In practice, cities are clusters of buildings, but a dense environment does not necessarily correspond to a good urban pattern.The catchy phrase "city regeneration" is crucial and may inspire Chinese architects in their personal development and maturity and in their pursuit of modernization and internationalization.

DONG Gong

Jury member of WA Technological Innovation Award Founding Partner, Vector Architects

Technology is an indispensably crucial constituent of architecture. In today's design and construction industry in China, our regard and pursuit of technological progress persists but still remains deficient. This is one of the reasons for the gap between our architectural quality and the international highest one. I think this is the purpose of the WA Technological Innovation Award. However, it should be pointed out that the ultimate goal of technology is not its self display, rather, the improvement of the life and spirit of people who occupy the space.

DU Chunlan

I frst heard about the WA Awards for Chinese Architecture (WAACA) two years ago. A teacher in our faculty won the award for a seven squaremeter residence, which stirred my interest. I began to pay attention to WAACA and its award set-up. The second time I came across the awards was in 2016, when I was invited to be the jury member of WA Technological Innovation Award. Through the evaluation process, I gained a better understanding of World Architecture, and I was especially moved by the devotion and perspective of the magazine. Whether in terms of designing awards or selecting jury members, the organization during the whole award event as well as the preciseness of work all left a deep and remaining impression on me. This award has a great reputation in the industry, and I believe and hope that it will become even more popular.

HAN Dongqing

Jury member of WA Housing Award

Dean, professor, School of Architecture, Southeast University

The WA Housing Award focuses on improvements of housing and living environments, which builds upon an understanding of the house as a living place for people according to actual conditions. This is the basic concept of residence.

Both in the projects that applied this year and the winning works, type diversity is a key. This refects the transition of Chinese residential architecture, from abstract house-type to specifc situation design with given resources that cater to different living conditions, demonstrating not only the designers' accurate understanding of the users' actual life circumstances, but also the positive trend towards a culture of living in China. High-rise compound buildings create private living zones; community living allows casual and relaxed social activities; small living spaces bring the joy of ample space. Designs that emphasize the relationship between specific environments and their inhabitants embody an appreciation for life and the poetry of living.

HUANG Juzheng

Jury member of WA Housing Award

Executive Editor-in-Chief, Architectural Journal

Among the dozens of projects that applied for the WA Housing Award are hutong residential renovations, post-earthquake aid constructions, folk houses in the age of the rural construction boom, and of course urban compound buildings. Small-scale folk house projects exhibit unique designs thanks to the architect's choice of material, space creation, and guidance and organization of movement sequences. Compound houses - TheThird Space in Tangshan and New Youth Commune in Jilin are outstanding examples - break with conventional patterns of planning and design and endeavor to endow living spaces and residential life with vibrancy. Unfortunately, in most other projects that applied in this category we can hardly see such versatility and ability to improve urban space and residential quality. Most other works are oldfashioned and mediocre.

LEI Zhendong

Jury member of WA Technological Innovation Award Executive vice dean, professor, School of Architecture, Xi'an University of Architecture and Technology

It is my first time to join the WA Awards for Chinese Architecture (WAACA) as a jury member of the WA Technological Innovation Award. I am happy and excited, and I feel honored to have this opportunity to contribute to the construction and further success of this important communication platform for Chinese architects.

The selection and evaluation criteria used by the WAACA jury are very strict and uphold the fundamental principles of fairness and equality. The jury look for innovation and (the applicants' ability to use) generalization. The final award-winning works undergo rounds of voting, with the judges reaching an agreement only after careful discussion.

Any architect who aspires to win a WA award must be capable, set a goal, and be prepared. The winning works represent the ideas and state of the arts of Chinese architects; therefore, participating architects must seriously strive to find answers to the questions raised by the competition, both thematically and technologically, so as to promote the industrial infuence of WAACA.

The WA Social Equality Award is a category that I have considered applying for several times, but given up every time eventually after thoughtful considerations. Although many of my public projects are related to this theme, on second thought, I still don't think they are convincing enough for this title. The same struggle appears when I get invited to be a jury this time. In reality, an example of a project in today's Chinese society that truly fts this theme, and at the same time performs a high level of design and construction, is indeed very rare. This is also reflected in the furious while interesting debates among the jury during the review. Perhaps the underlying question raised here is even more important - Can architectural design really promote social equality? Should there be a set of specifcally different academic standards when judging design for the disadvantaged communities? Perhaps a time will come, when the care for the less privilegedsocial groups and the concern for social equality become our common awareness, completely fused into architectural practice that each and every architectural project of excellence can apply for the "social equality award"; and by then we can possibly enter into a truly "equal" society?

For so long, the selection of winners of architectural awards has relied on judgments of architectural drawings and pictures by professional photographers. However, the WA Achievement Award shifts the focus onto the user, because these awards only permit applications of built and proven works, which reminds me of the original intention of the AIA 25 Year Award. Several jury members visited the actual buildings and sites, and they expressed their feelings as a reference for others in the jury.The evaluation process was also impressive; we had many open discussions and even arguments, making the selection criteria all seem to be more critical. However, unfortunately, not enough architects seem to knew this award and have applied. In the future, we need to better promote the awards among Chinese architects. The awards and the whole awards event are bound to become a signifcant indicator of the building industry in contemporary China.

This was my frst time, in 2016, participating in the WA China architecture award selection - I was very curious and excited. In my opinion, the WA Architectural Achievement Award is the award that truly regards architecture as the art of the time; it is the most significant and comprehensive award. In today's complex fast-food society, the timeless charm of a building lies in its ability to improve with age like red wine. Many of the participating projects used a long-term perspective and presented space for sustainable use in the future, which I am very much looking forward to seeing.

Generally speaking, the participating projects have a wide variety of characteristics; among them are small-scale buildings that can be rapidly erected as well as prestigious large-scale urban renewal projects. The majority of works are public facility designs and art venues. Most of the latter do not stand out much in design or usage. Public facilities and art venues are set tasks that do not leave much room for maneuvering; they are defned and confined by reliable operation management, which is why they difer most in their levels of daily management, rather than in the design strength or the eforts of the architects. Small-scale architecture is experimental and original, and, although it is exciting, there was much controversy among the jury as to whether this building task could meet the Architectural Achievement Award criteria.

Eventually, the jury unanimously agreed to choose OCT-LOFT Renovation in Shenzhen as the winner. As a showcase for urban design and renewal, the project gives not only an outstanding example of good practice in urban renewal and building renovation, but also provides a long-term community-building strategy. It stimulates the benign mechanisms of self-growth and opening up, making renewal a continuous process of interaction with profound social signifcance.

Co-founder, URBANUS

The WA Housing Award looks for, and rewards, the most universal type of building in the world. The best housing design requires consideration for the human occupants, good design presentation, and smart application of technology. High-rise residential towers are the primary dwelling type in China as well as the most commercialized one; this poses a great challenge for design. The impact and significance of this type of housing is also tremendous. I propose that the award should go to the Third Space in Tangshan for the architect’s compassionate and accommodating designs and his creative interpretation of space. Collective housing is a hot topic in our current industry, and the New Youth Commune provides a good example of the form. The Split Courtyard House faces the tough challenge of renovating a Beijing courtyard house, but provides novel solutions. Both works should be awarded a prize. The WA awards are one of the most infuential architecture awards in China. I am honored to be a member of the jury. I believe the Awards will become more popular by establishing its reputation, strengthening its features, and optimizing its categories and selection methods.

In 2016, I had the honor to be a jury member of the WA Social Equality Award, through which I have learned a lot. This award re-discovers the architect as a person in society. Theoretically speaking, every architect should think about the social significance of his/her architecture, but the type and location of a project probably determines the specific amount of effort (or performance) that gets put into these considerations, which is all the more evident in the review process of the WA Social Equality Award. Under this premise, should we emphasize the values of the design or the social values produced by the design? This question has been at the forefront of my mind, and I hope to find a project that has both qualities. However, a few sketches and photos will not be sufficient to immediately judge design concepts and the factual effects that they produce. Nevertheless, this award serves to reconsider the social signifcance assumed by the profession of architecture.

I have been invited to participate in WAACA as a jury member twice, and I am deeply impressed. From the award setting to evaluation criteria, WAACA has set a clear direction - emphasizing not only the magnificence of subject matter and narration in projects but also the brilliance embodied in a building in its everyday context and in every detail rooted in its specifc time and place. This is what we lack in the process of rapid urbanization in China today. All submissions are wonderful works; many of them take up the themes of social equality, human considerations, and technological improvement from a critical perspective and in practice. The winner of the WA Housing Award, which I recommended, is the Third Space in Tangshan. This project made a deep impression on me. The form, space, structure,and function of the architect's work innovated residential architecture and replaced conventional mechanical ("programmed") design with "custommade" design that invigorates urban life. Finally, I want to express my hope that there will be more such pioneering works in the next WAACA.

China has been considered for more than two decades a sort of Shangri La of the most impossible and hazardous architecture. The images published in most western magazines and comments from designers who have worked in China gave me the impression of a metropolitan environment produced as an infinite series of objects outside of human scales. Vastness and consumption were the keywords that represented this historical phase, but I always had the feeling that soon a new, different generation could emerge representing a different image of contemporary Chinese society.

My recent experience as a member of three diferent juries in the last edition of the WA Awards for Chinese Architecture fully confrmed my expectations.

Most of the built projects I had the honor to evaluate showed a strong sensitivity for the existing contest, research for an innovative dialogue with local traditions, and calls for a social and environmental definition of sustainability. These projects embody a generation of Chinese architects that have the intellectual tools and methodologies necessary to face the complex and dramatic challenges represented by excessive urban growth and the dramatic ecologic scenario, and the best is yet to come.

SUN Yimin

Jury member of WA City Regeneration Award

Executive vice-dean, professor, School of Architecture, South China University of TechnologyThis was the second time I participated in the selection process of the WA Awards for Chinese Architecture. It was quite a change between last year's WA Technological Innovation Award and this year's WA City Regeneration Award, but I enjoyed both experiences. Generally speaking, the number of project submissions has increased considerably this year, but the review process was less complicated than I expected - the increased number of projects did not result in an increased workload. The applicants must still develop a more profound understanding of this award. Many submitted projects that did not fulfill the award criteria and were inconsistent with the award theme. For example, some applications did not address the context beyond the boundaries of the building, taking a provocative attitude: I am a big building, and therefore, I certainly contribute to the city! This is actually a frightening but realistic approach of Chinese architecture today - ignoring the possibility of contributing to the formation of urban space and the construction of (public) places, while still indulging in self-admiration. Without urban logic and a conceptual framework, architects pay more attention to form than the city surrounding the architecture. Therefore, I am convinced that the WA City Regeneration Award is a very signifcant award; it is of utmost importance for today's Chinese cities. I look forward to future Chinese architects who will take the initiative and focus on urban issues, design future cites, and create valuable urban spaces.

Academician of Chinese Academy of Engineering; Professor, School of Architecture, Southeast UniversityIn recent years, Chinese architectural design has made remarkable progress in social thinking, exploring ideas hardly seen in the past 50 years and transcending the borders of architecture as an engineering and course-book teaching discipline. A diverse and pluralistic architectural landscape has emerged. The WA awards are highly specialized and divided into prize categories to better assess this new architectural landscape, set benchmarks, and give guidance for the development of architectural design. The evaluation criteria target the professional work of the architect, which stands in contrast to usual evaluation, which judges only the originality of the work ("magnificent and comprehensive"); more and more architects thus aim at applying for and even winning these awards. As a jury member for two 2016 WA award categories, I have seen innovative solutions in the field of building technology. Among them are two concrete buildings in which material and structure blend into a harmonious whole, expressing the original properties of the building; moreover, here the constructed space creates a sense of aesthetic pleasure. Another project that transformed a historical palace hall into a physical environment for displaying cultural relics also impressed me deeply. It could serve as a good example of how to protect and adapt heritage for modern usage in the future.

WANG Lu

Jury member of WA Design Experiment Award

Professor, School of Architecture, Tsinghua UniversityThis year, doubled number of projects applied for the WA Design Experiment Award than in the previous years. Big projects include theaters and schools, and small projects include rest- pavilions and even installations - the buildings are diverse in type. There were more good designs this year than in previous competitions, which provided a challenge for the jury, who had to discuss projects seriously one by one. However, many innovative projects failed that also appropriately considered the situation in China today. There were more than 100 applications in this category - just a fraction of the contemporary architectural landscape - but they refect the creative atmosphere of the construction industry in recent years. I hope this Award will attract more architects and more excellent works in the future.

It is a great honor to join the jury of the 2016 WAACA - to see many outstanding works, to feel and understand their emotions, and to feel the historical responsibility and the spirit of the time endowed to them - indeed, very inspiring.

In the past 30 years, China's urbanization has continued to accelerate. Now, after the construction boom, we reflect on "the objectives and aims of architecture." The Central Urban Work Conference proposed the guidelines for a new era, calling for "applicable, economical, green, and pleasant-looking" design to inspire us. I am delighted to find that the WAACA evaluation standards are highly consistent with these guidelines, and the submitted projects echothem. The winning works fully embody and interpret this concept. I feel deeply encouraged and relieved.

In fact, designs like these are energetic and time-tested, factors that were recognized by the experts and praised by the public. I was also glad to discuss and appreciate the works with so many experts, learning from the creative experience of the architects. Therefore, the Jury Review held by World Architecture was highly significant. The Awards determine the characteristics of the new era and will further promote and lead the architecture industry.

ZHANG Qi

Jury member of WA Technological Innovation Award Dean, professor, School of Architecture, Tianjin University

The core value of the WA Technological Innovation Award lies in the "progress and achievements of technology", which demand that architects solve concrete problems with innovative techniques and technologies. These are important criteria for evaluation, and the design and construction of most applied projects embody these values.

During evaluation, the judges faced projects that impressed them both visually and emotionally. Undoubtedly an ingenious move—using a beautiful and pleasant spatial form to promote technology—which is both the reason for and the result of the "innovative technological approach". This is in fact the original intention of the award. Architectural aesthetics should correspond with technological aesthetics, combining arts with technologies.

ZHI Wenjun

Jury member of WA Technological Innovation Award Professor, College of Architecture and Urban Planning, Tongji University

It is a great honor for me to take part in the review of the WA Technological Innovation Award. I would like to express my congratulations to the award-winning works, and then I would like to talk about three ideas that came to me during the selection process. First, the purpose of this Award is to encourage architects "to solve practical problems through the creative use of technology". We all know about the rapid progress of the building industry in contemporary China, but this progress outpaces the improvement of architectural quality, which can be seen in the overall development of the Chinese building industry and the submitted projects. Second, most participants simply submitted their own works to the WA Technological Innovation Award, but only a few had a clear understanding of how the methods and technologies they used could contribute to the technological progress of Chinese architecture. The majority did not even include sufcient technological data about their projects in the application material to prove their case. One reason might be that the submitted works lack inner quality; another reason might be that the designers lack awareness about how to advertise their projects' core values. Third, it is not easy to trigger "tangible advancement and technological achievement." However, Chinese architects persistently seek to create architecture that is truly based on reality and the specifc situation in present-day China. I thus believe that in the nearby future, more and better technologies will emerge that refect the signifcance of architecture.

ZHOU Chang

Jury member of WA Achievement Award & WA City Regeneration Award

Former vice president, the Architectural Society of China

I have attended the WAACA Jury Review several times, and I have sensed an upward movement over the years. WAACA has an increasingly strong influence in Chinese architecture and increasingly clear characteristics in its selection processes. The reasons are as follows:

Accurate positioning and perseverance: WAACA features a specifc theme and orientation that refects hot topics in current planning and design. WA awards slowly but steadily have developed into influential awards in the feld.

Open-mindedness, tolerance, and all embracing: WAACA neither sets frames nor provide obstacles in project selection. So long as the project meets the requirements of the invitation, scholars and researchers from (public or private) institutions as well as freelancers, projects from design institutes or other institution of higher education, and designs of any type and thought all welcome here. This openness and tolerance received a warm welcome from society, and not surprisingly, the submissions are gaining momentum.

Rigorous academic requirements, equality, and transparence: each session of WAACA will invite renowned (town and regional) planning and architecture experts from China and abroad to review the projects anonymously. There are usually lively discussions among the judges. It is a rigorous evaluation process, but also an opportunity for open academic exchange that is treasured by all members of the jury. I believe this positive energy will spark enthusiasm, interest, and debate within the architecture community.

The WA Achievement Award is designed to honor architectural projects that have proved their quality in practice and revealed their long-term values. Just like the Gold Medal of the American Institute of Architects (AIA) 25 Year Award, WAACA selects works that will have a lasting influence on the practice of architecture. Awarded projects are carefully prepared and elaborated through pioneering work in the choice of materials and techniques and the concept of spatial growth in the early working stages, which are then combined into a whole as part of a complete design. This is the highest requirement for design, a high standard for multi-value oriented architecture, a solemn undertaking in the current rapid urbanization of China, as well as a demonstration for sustainable environmental development..□
