Bartlett建筑学院和AA建筑联盟作为英国乃至全球最先锋的两所建筑学校,常年盘踞在世界大学建筑系排名前三,一直以开放包容的基于建筑学的跨领域实验性探索著称,为满怀热情的建筑学子营造了一个令人向往的学术殿堂。这两所学校就好比剑桥和牛津,清华和北大一样互相较劲,在不同的领域上各自绽放光芒,又殊途同归的孕育着对未来建筑的畅想。有人说AA像是理科的建筑系负责圆梦,在原型上寻找着强有力的理论支持,用最前沿的计算机算法实现人们的幻想;而Bartlett则像是文科的建筑系负责造梦,由一个剧本或者理念出发,逐步编织出整套浪漫的幻想,这种设计方式经过Archigram建筑电讯派(核心成员Peter Cook毕业于AA,后担任Bartlett系主任,现任GSD教授)的推广而被称之为叙事性建筑设计。 Bartlett School of Architecture and AA Building Alliance, two of the UK’s and even the world’s foremost architectural schools, occupy the top three in Architecture at the University of the World year-round and have long been known for their open and inclusive architectural-based interdisciplinary experimentation and enthusiasm Architecture students have created a desirable academic hall. These two schools are just like Cambridge and Oxford, Tsinghua University and Peking University, as opposed to each other in their respective fields shine their own light, but also the same route pregnant with the Imagination of the future of architecture. Some people say AA is like a science department responsible for building dreams, looking for a strong theoretical support for the prototype, cutting-edge computer algorithms to achieve people’s fantasies; and Bartlett is like a liberal arts department is responsible for making dreams, from a script Or ideas, and gradually woven into a romantic set of fantasy, this design approach is called the narrative architecture after the promotion of Archigram telecom (core member Peter Cook graduated from the AA, later served as director of Bartlett department, now GSD professor) design.
