WA建筑成就獎(jiǎng)、WA設(shè)計(jì)實(shí)驗(yàn)獎(jiǎng)評(píng)委

中國(guó)科學(xué)院院士，同濟(jì)大學(xué)建筑與城市規(guī)劃學(xué)院教授

對(duì)建筑設(shè)計(jì)而言，究竟什么是“實(shí)驗(yàn)性”，歷來(lái)莫衷一是。因?yàn)榈埠玫脑O(shè)計(jì)，就必得有所創(chuàng)意，而創(chuàng)意就必得出新，為前所未為，因此，好的設(shè)計(jì)必在某方面含有“實(shí)驗(yàn)”的意味和作為。這樣看來(lái)，WA設(shè)計(jì)實(shí)驗(yàn)獎(jiǎng)對(duì)評(píng)委判定作品屬性和水平的工作極具挑戰(zhàn)性。因此本次參加該獎(jiǎng)項(xiàng)的評(píng)審的幾位評(píng)委格外留意于那些入圍作品的“實(shí)驗(yàn)性”究竟何在。

獲優(yōu)勝獎(jiǎng)的“常州棉倉(cāng)城市客廳”位于一座巨構(gòu)的廠房倉(cāng)庫(kù)中，以木頭和金屬兩種材質(zhì)分別搭建了兩個(gè)尺度適宜、建構(gòu)精美的可逆性三角頂空間——“屋中屋”，原來(lái)的舊倉(cāng)庫(kù)空間界面則成了既有的“表皮”，清晰地表達(dá)了寓新于舊的創(chuàng)意。3個(gè)佳作獎(jiǎng)也各有千秋，引人注目：“竹里”的意境，讓人看到了前衛(wèi)的數(shù)字建造與風(fēng)土地景關(guān)聯(lián)的可能性；“轉(zhuǎn)型模塊居住產(chǎn)品原型開(kāi)發(fā)”，顯然對(duì)住宅產(chǎn)業(yè)的可持續(xù)研發(fā)做出了拓展性和創(chuàng)新性貢獻(xiàn)；“馬岔村民活動(dòng)中心”對(duì)傳統(tǒng)村落交往空間的探索，特別具有空間和社會(huì)的雙重價(jià)值。

所有這些獲獎(jiǎng)作品都不同程度地體現(xiàn)了“設(shè)計(jì)實(shí)驗(yàn)”的屬性和水平，盡管“實(shí)驗(yàn)性”本身尚需要更清晰地界定。

WA社會(huì)公平獎(jiǎng)是WA建筑獎(jiǎng)中比較特別的類(lèi)型，它不僅要求作品有較高的設(shè)計(jì)質(zhì)量和創(chuàng)意，更要求設(shè)計(jì)者有社會(huì)責(zé)任感和對(duì)弱勢(shì)群體的善意，甚至我們也希望通過(guò)作品了解到作者的社會(huì)態(tài)度和價(jià)值觀。2018年的參賽作品主要來(lái)自于鄉(xiāng)建一線，微介入的模式、地方建構(gòu)的策略、村民參與的過(guò)程幾乎成為共識(shí)，難分高下。而面對(duì)舊城更新中的狹小巷道，設(shè)計(jì)師似乎有點(diǎn)兒下不去手，只能用有些臨時(shí)性的公共家具、裝置表達(dá)愛(ài)心。說(shuō)實(shí)在，評(píng)獎(jiǎng)的目的之一就是為了引發(fā)同行的關(guān)注，推動(dòng)相關(guān)設(shè)計(jì)領(lǐng)域的發(fā)展。因此，相比鄉(xiāng)建作品水平的“普遍”提高，城市修補(bǔ)、城市平民的生活空間難度更大、問(wèn)題更多，亟待同行的關(guān)注。期待下一屆WA社會(huì)公平獎(jiǎng)的申報(bào)作品來(lái)自這里。

這是一次具有挑戰(zhàn)性的評(píng)審。WA城市貢獻(xiàn)獎(jiǎng)的評(píng)判標(biāo)準(zhǔn)已經(jīng)超越了傳統(tǒng)建筑學(xué)的價(jià)值判斷體系。我們?nèi)绾蝸?lái)評(píng)判？評(píng)委是否能夠跳出專(zhuān)業(yè)的藩籬，用社會(huì)的視角重新審視當(dāng)代中國(guó)建筑？毋庸諱言，在諸多的參賽作品中，參賽者并沒(méi)有仔細(xì)審視這一復(fù)雜的主題，對(duì)于評(píng)委來(lái)說(shuō)，挑戰(zhàn)則更為嚴(yán)峻。顯然，一座在傳統(tǒng)建筑學(xué)意義上的好建筑，已不足以應(yīng)對(duì)人們對(duì)所謂“城市貢獻(xiàn)”的拷問(wèn)。如果在社會(huì)學(xué)的層面上某建筑有相當(dāng)?shù)膬r(jià)值，那么我們?nèi)绾闻袛嘟ㄖ熢谄渲械淖饔?？我們是否能僅僅靠照片和簡(jiǎn)短的說(shuō)明做出準(zhǔn)確的判斷？至少，作為評(píng)委，我無(wú)法在很短的時(shí)間里對(duì)這些復(fù)雜的問(wèn)題做出合適的判斷。因此我只能根據(jù)作品的類(lèi)型和建筑學(xué)的形式美原則對(duì)設(shè)計(jì)作出個(gè)人的判斷。我以為，一座更廣泛的服務(wù)于普通市民的建筑、一座在形式美上更標(biāo)致的建筑至少會(huì)令人們更喜歡它。

2018年WA居住貢獻(xiàn)獎(jiǎng)的申報(bào)項(xiàng)目數(shù)量與2016年基本持平，關(guān)乎探索如何提升高密度城市中居住空間質(zhì)量的集合住宅，卻一如往年，優(yōu)秀作品依然乏善可陳，頗感遺憾。由于近年鄉(xiāng)村復(fù)興議題頗受關(guān)注，建筑師參與鄉(xiāng)建的項(xiàng)目明顯增多，尤其是與鄉(xiāng)村旅游相關(guān)的民宿居住類(lèi)型，在注重環(huán)境適應(yīng)性、在地性材料及工法的挖掘和再利用方面，建筑師做出了諸多的探索，試圖尋找出鄉(xiāng)土建筑語(yǔ)言向現(xiàn)代轉(zhuǎn)譯的有效途徑。此外，隨著中國(guó)城市發(fā)展進(jìn)入了新的歷史時(shí)期，大規(guī)模的城市開(kāi)發(fā)模式逐漸式微，通過(guò)城市微更新的方式，在保存城市歷史肌理的前提下，建筑師以設(shè)計(jì)的手段，開(kāi)發(fā)利用存量建筑，提升所在街區(qū)居民的居住質(zhì)量，改善城市公共空間的品質(zhì)——這一類(lèi)項(xiàng)目也日顯重要。它們不僅有著重要的社會(huì)文化價(jià)值，而且就建筑類(lèi)型學(xué)意義而言，也值得當(dāng)代建筑師做認(rèn)真的研究與探索。

參加本次WA中國(guó)建筑獎(jiǎng)技術(shù)進(jìn)步獎(jiǎng)的評(píng)選，我有兩點(diǎn)體會(huì)：其一，感嘆申報(bào)技術(shù)進(jìn)步獎(jiǎng)的作品數(shù)量遠(yuǎn)低于其他獎(jiǎng)項(xiàng)，建筑師對(duì)于建筑技術(shù)方面的關(guān)注度和努力度尚待提升；其二，由申報(bào)作品——特別是獲獎(jiǎng)作品而深切感到，當(dāng)代中國(guó)建筑技術(shù)方面的進(jìn)步正在由“傳統(tǒng)”的建筑結(jié)構(gòu)、空間營(yíng)造、詩(shī)意建構(gòu)甚至數(shù)字建造等方面向標(biāo)準(zhǔn)化設(shè)計(jì)、裝配式建造、綠色節(jié)能集成等方面聚焦。一方面我感到了國(guó)家戰(zhàn)略、政策鼓勵(lì)的巨大影響和推動(dòng)力，另一方面，我也希望建筑師們?cè)陧槕?yīng)大勢(shì)的同時(shí)，不要放松對(duì)“永不過(guò)時(shí)”的建筑本體性技術(shù)進(jìn)步的追求，正如本屆技術(shù)進(jìn)步獎(jiǎng)優(yōu)勝獎(jiǎng)作品所呈現(xiàn)出的：尋求抵抗重力的詩(shī)意形式，與使用需要完美結(jié)合，并作為新型公共空間最大限度地向城市開(kāi)放。

第一次參加WA中國(guó)建筑獎(jiǎng)技術(shù)進(jìn)步獎(jiǎng)的評(píng)審，我從建筑技術(shù)工作者的角度全面了解了國(guó)內(nèi)近幾年的建筑創(chuàng)作作品，感受如下：創(chuàng)新驅(qū)動(dòng)發(fā)展成為“十三五”國(guó)家戰(zhàn)略，技術(shù)創(chuàng)新（如近零能耗、裝配式、集裝箱、新型材料與構(gòu)造等）、綠色發(fā)展、融合自然、追求極限等理念和技術(shù)與建筑創(chuàng)作得到了很好的集成，在市民服務(wù)中心、電動(dòng)汽車(chē)充電站、住宅、體育文化辦公場(chǎng)館、鄉(xiāng)村建筑和既有建筑改造中得到了全面應(yīng)用。此外總體看，這批參評(píng)建筑作品體現(xiàn)了很高的工藝水平，尤其在精致的節(jié)點(diǎn)和精細(xì)的加工方面。王國(guó)維的人間詞話提到“三重境界”，期待建筑技術(shù)對(duì)建筑創(chuàng)作的支持也相類(lèi)似，最終成為新時(shí)代我國(guó)建筑創(chuàng)作的源泉和精致建造的表達(dá)。

很榮幸能夠再次成為WA居住貢獻(xiàn)獎(jiǎng)評(píng)委。我很高興地注意到，本屆申獎(jiǎng)作品無(wú)論是從數(shù)量上還是質(zhì)量上都比上屆有普遍提高——聽(tīng)上去似乎是官方語(yǔ)氣，但這確是事實(shí)。另一個(gè)事實(shí)是，從整體報(bào)獎(jiǎng)數(shù)量上說(shuō)，居住類(lèi)是較少的門(mén)類(lèi)之一。這個(gè)顯然與我們國(guó)家的居住建筑項(xiàng)目數(shù)量成巨大反差。這個(gè)事實(shí)說(shuō)明：絕大多數(shù)的居住產(chǎn)品不具備建筑創(chuàng)作條件，或建筑師對(duì)于居住建筑類(lèi)型的創(chuàng)作缺乏認(rèn)識(shí)或熱情。反觀歷史上許多現(xiàn)代主義的經(jīng)典作品，居住建筑占了相當(dāng)高的比例。居住環(huán)境是當(dāng)今最影響人們生活品質(zhì)的方面，本屆報(bào)獎(jiǎng)作品中有許多很好的想法和探索，從詩(shī)意的棲居到老年關(guān)懷，再到高密度都市社區(qū)，直至未來(lái)居住模式，都有佳作。我期望《世界建筑》能將WA居住貢獻(xiàn)獎(jiǎng)越辦越好，以推動(dòng)居住建筑設(shè)計(jì)的持續(xù)進(jìn)步。

華南理工大學(xué)建筑設(shè)計(jì)研究院副院長(zhǎng)、副總建筑師

這是我第一次參加WA中國(guó)建筑獎(jiǎng)的評(píng)審。這次的評(píng)審讓我對(duì)建筑獎(jiǎng)的評(píng)審有了完全不一樣的感覺(jué)。相對(duì)通常以建筑"八字方針"為基調(diào)的評(píng)審，WA建筑獎(jiǎng)的每個(gè)獎(jiǎng)項(xiàng)都有著強(qiáng)烈的價(jià)值取向：城市貢獻(xiàn)獎(jiǎng)、社會(huì)公平獎(jiǎng)、技術(shù)進(jìn)步獎(jiǎng)等等。這種價(jià)值導(dǎo)向也奠定了一種新的評(píng)選調(diào)性，這是一種巨大的改變，感覺(jué)就如同呼吸了一口新鮮的空氣。

在這次評(píng)選中，我被分到了技術(shù)進(jìn)步獎(jiǎng)評(píng)審組。開(kāi)始，我還糾結(jié)于對(duì)“技術(shù)進(jìn)步”的理解：是著重建筑進(jìn)步本身的技術(shù)的價(jià)值，還是恰當(dāng)技術(shù)所帶來(lái)的空間體驗(yàn)的價(jià)值？最后選出的優(yōu)勝獎(jiǎng)“杭州英飛特電動(dòng)汽車(chē)充電站”給出了很好的答案。在擁擠的城市里，充電站設(shè)計(jì)采用完全挑空的策略，屋面懸挑達(dá)20m且薄如紙片，表達(dá)了對(duì)建筑技術(shù)的一種極限追求, 同時(shí)其巨大的懸挑也很好地解決了兩種不同尺寸的車(chē)輛對(duì)充電空間的需求。這一舉重若輕的設(shè)計(jì)，反映出一種互聯(lián)網(wǎng)時(shí)代的透明性和開(kāi)放性，也是對(duì)城市空間的一種積極應(yīng)對(duì)。在這個(gè)案例中，設(shè)計(jì)師很好地提升了建筑技術(shù)的自身價(jià)值和技術(shù)所帶來(lái)的空間體驗(yàn)價(jià)值。

2018年的WA中國(guó)建筑獎(jiǎng)獲獎(jiǎng)項(xiàng)目令人印象深刻，更多中國(guó)獨(dú)立建筑師正將其態(tài)度和風(fēng)格轉(zhuǎn)化成為作品。所提交的各類(lèi)別項(xiàng)目的質(zhì)量展示出了其建筑設(shè)計(jì)和城市規(guī)劃的專(zhuān)業(yè)素養(yǎng)，以及對(duì)可持續(xù)和節(jié)能領(lǐng)域的現(xiàn)代技術(shù)建筑設(shè)備的整體運(yùn)用能力。對(duì)數(shù)字技術(shù)的利用也頗有代表性：它們不僅被用來(lái)設(shè)計(jì)和實(shí)施建筑項(xiàng)目，還作為數(shù)字儀器拓寬了設(shè)計(jì)創(chuàng)新的選擇。這一點(diǎn)在建筑領(lǐng)域顯而易見(jiàn)。

有兩件事情給我留下了格外深刻的印象：第一，一種具有顯著開(kāi)創(chuàng)性和樂(lè)觀的建筑風(fēng)格已然出現(xiàn)，但目前僅在鄉(xiāng)村語(yǔ)境下得到實(shí)踐。這會(huì)馬上有所改變。我相信這種以木材、混凝土、玻璃和鋼材等樸素的材料和以可識(shí)別的結(jié)構(gòu)所塑造的風(fēng)格將很快以更大的尺度出現(xiàn)在典型的城市和都市建筑中。這樣的例子已經(jīng)在2018年威尼斯雙年展中得到展現(xiàn)，并取得了巨大的成功和國(guó)際關(guān)注；第二，WA建筑成就獎(jiǎng)的卓越理念表達(dá)著對(duì)建筑真誠(chéng)而忠實(shí)的評(píng)價(jià)。這樣的評(píng)價(jià)不應(yīng)只存在于建成開(kāi)放的那一天，而應(yīng)貫穿建筑的整個(gè)生命周期。所有的建筑都應(yīng)面對(duì)這樣的評(píng)判，但是對(duì)建筑在更長(zhǎng)的時(shí)間范圍內(nèi)的質(zhì)量評(píng)判尚且罕見(jiàn)。這兩點(diǎn)的意義都早已超越了中國(guó)的范疇，它們具有成為全世界其他奉獻(xiàn)的、負(fù)責(zé)的建筑師和城市規(guī)劃師的典范的可能。

我是第一次參加WA中國(guó)建筑獎(jiǎng)的評(píng)審，評(píng)審的過(guò)程對(duì)我來(lái)說(shuō)也是一次學(xué)習(xí)的過(guò)程。從這次的獲獎(jiǎng)方案中，我看到了優(yōu)秀的建筑創(chuàng)作實(shí)踐對(duì)轉(zhuǎn)型發(fā)展的引領(lǐng)，它們體現(xiàn)著對(duì)本土文化的尊重與傳承、對(duì)以人為本價(jià)值觀的追求、對(duì)技術(shù)創(chuàng)新的探索。由于我個(gè)人的工作背景，我更注重從城鄉(xiāng)規(guī)劃角度來(lái)評(píng)價(jià)建筑設(shè)計(jì)，許多獲獎(jiǎng)作品在與環(huán)境融合上有著獨(dú)到之處，不僅對(duì)空間品質(zhì)提升起到促進(jìn)作用，而且對(duì)塑造場(chǎng)所精神、延續(xù)城市記憶也有重要意義。當(dāng)城市發(fā)展由增量擴(kuò)張轉(zhuǎn)為存量更新，建筑師的工作重點(diǎn)也在發(fā)生轉(zhuǎn)變，由設(shè)計(jì)新建筑轉(zhuǎn)向老舊建筑改造。城市的有機(jī)更新就是要實(shí)現(xiàn)建成環(huán)境的持續(xù)改善，這種改善不僅僅是外觀與形象，更重要的是要從人的需求出發(fā)，實(shí)現(xiàn)功能與環(huán)境的提升，創(chuàng)造更有內(nèi)涵的生活品質(zhì)和更愉悅的空間感受。

在建筑發(fā)展歷史長(zhǎng)河中，由建筑材料、構(gòu)造、結(jié)構(gòu)及建造技術(shù)等所呈現(xiàn)的技術(shù)進(jìn)步一直是建筑演進(jìn)和性能迭代的持續(xù)動(dòng)力?！妒澜缃ㄖ分鬓k的WA中國(guó)建筑獎(jiǎng)技術(shù)進(jìn)步獎(jiǎng)，旨在關(guān)注那些努力通過(guò)創(chuàng)新性技術(shù)方法和帶有某種極致追求的手段表達(dá)建筑技術(shù)進(jìn)步所帶來(lái)的建筑表現(xiàn)，并同時(shí)得體地實(shí)現(xiàn)了功能、空間和環(huán)境內(nèi)洽的作品。本次競(jìng)賽獲獎(jiǎng)作品呈現(xiàn)出顯著的多樣性:評(píng)委會(huì)將優(yōu)勝獎(jiǎng)授予了體現(xiàn)生態(tài)文明時(shí)代內(nèi)涵的“杭州英飛特電動(dòng)汽車(chē)充電站”。該建筑體態(tài)輕盈、功能完備，較好表現(xiàn)了建筑師和結(jié)構(gòu)設(shè)計(jì)師對(duì)輕型結(jié)構(gòu)懸挑尺度極限的追求和努力，詮釋了技術(shù)進(jìn)步的內(nèi)涵和價(jià)值。兩個(gè)佳作獎(jiǎng)的授予則具有建筑類(lèi)型學(xué)意義：通過(guò)集裝箱模塊預(yù)制、組合和現(xiàn)場(chǎng)裝配的“雄安市民服務(wù)中心企業(yè)臨時(shí)辦公區(qū)”建筑和反映綠色低碳節(jié)能綜合和集成一體化的“長(zhǎng)屋計(jì)劃”。其他入圍的項(xiàng)目也從不同側(cè)面表達(dá)了技術(shù)發(fā)展給予的建筑設(shè)計(jì)以及最后環(huán)境營(yíng)造的影響，規(guī)模則從大型體育建筑、社區(qū)類(lèi)建筑到小型移動(dòng)裝置類(lèi)建筑。從展望角度看，希望該獎(jiǎng)項(xiàng)今后對(duì)具有復(fù)雜功能的大型建筑設(shè)計(jì)與技術(shù)進(jìn)步的結(jié)合給予更多的關(guān)注，更加充分地表達(dá)技術(shù)進(jìn)步對(duì)人居環(huán)境的社會(huì)影響和建筑設(shè)計(jì)所產(chǎn)生的功能效益提升。

作為2018年WA中國(guó)建筑獎(jiǎng)城市貢獻(xiàn)獎(jiǎng)評(píng)委主席和WA建筑成就獎(jiǎng)的評(píng)委，我對(duì)于這次評(píng)審感觸頗深。這一次參評(píng)建筑師的踴躍程度和作品的普遍水準(zhǔn)令人印象深刻。我所主持的WA城市貢獻(xiàn)獎(jiǎng)參評(píng)作品既有大尺度的城市成片更新項(xiàng)目，也有小型的微更新項(xiàng)目，但都顯示出我國(guó)建筑界對(duì)于城市問(wèn)題的普遍關(guān)注，表現(xiàn)出越來(lái)越多的建筑師越來(lái)越多地關(guān)注自己作品所應(yīng)體現(xiàn)的城市公共責(zé)任和處理城市空間關(guān)系時(shí)的社會(huì)責(zé)任。他們更多地視自己的作品為城市的有機(jī)組成部分，力圖使自己的作品在功能、尺度和空間上從屬于城市而非追求自身的紀(jì)念性效果。這正是我國(guó)建筑界長(zhǎng)期以來(lái)最缺乏的價(jià)值觀之一。本屆WA建筑成就獎(jiǎng)的幾個(gè)獲獎(jiǎng)作品中，不約而同地表現(xiàn)出這種責(zé)任感大于紀(jì)念感、普通感大于偉大感的特點(diǎn)，即便是以紀(jì)念性為功能的作品亦是如此。也許這正代表著中國(guó)當(dāng)下建筑設(shè)計(jì)思想觀念的趨勢(shì)及其進(jìn)步意義吧！

WA城市貢獻(xiàn)獎(jiǎng)是本次WA中國(guó)建筑獎(jiǎng)所有組別中競(jìng)爭(zhēng)最激烈的一個(gè)獎(jiǎng)項(xiàng)，參評(píng)項(xiàng)目之多居所有組別之冠。盡管如此，評(píng)審過(guò)程卻相對(duì)順利，4位評(píng)委對(duì)最后入圍作品沒(méi)有太大爭(zhēng)議。其中很重要的原因在于，占相當(dāng)比例的參評(píng)作品未能正確理解“城市貢獻(xiàn)獎(jiǎng)”的內(nèi)涵，在參評(píng)文件中幾乎沒(méi)有展示作品在哪些方面對(duì)城市產(chǎn)生了積極的影響和貢獻(xiàn)，甚至在展板中都沒(méi)有標(biāo)明作品與城市關(guān)系的基本圖示，因此雖然不少作品在單體設(shè)計(jì)形式上頗具匠心，但在第一輪評(píng)審中就不得不遺憾出局。特別值得一提的是，本屆WA城市貢獻(xiàn)獎(jiǎng)最后獲獎(jiǎng)作品的質(zhì)量較往屆有明顯提升，位居前列的獲獎(jiǎng)作品精彩各異，殊難取舍，最后獲獎(jiǎng)實(shí)至名歸。

Jury member of WA Achievement Award and WA Design Experiment Award

The question of what constitutes "experimentation"architectural design has never had a definitive answer. All good design must also include an element of creativity, and creativity necessitates something new and unprecedented, meaning that good design must, in some respect, contain"experimental" elements or functions. In this regard, WA Design Experiment Award presented a significant challenge for the jury when they assessed the characteristics and quality of the works submitted for consideration. As such, several judges paid special attention to the "experimental"nature of shortlisted works when conducting their deliberations for this award.

"Changzhou Cotton Lab Urban Lounge", the winner of the award, is located in a large factory warehouse. It uses wood and metal materials,respectively, to form two beautifully-constructed spaces of appropriate scale with reversible triangular roofs - these are called "House in House" spaces; the original warehouse space forms the "skin", which clearly expresses the creative use of new and old materials.

The three highly commended projects are each eye-catching in their own way. The concept behind"In Bamboo" allows people to observe the connection between avant-garde digital construction and local landscapes. "Lightweight Modular Housing Prototype" has made clear contributions to expansion and innovation in terms of sustainable research and the development of the housing industry. Exploration of communal space of "Macha Village Centre" in traditional villages contributes notable value for the concept of both space and society.

All these award-winning works demonstrate the characteristics and qualities of "design experimentation" to differing degrees, even if the concept of "experimentation" itself needs more precise definition.

WA Social Equality Award is a special category of architectural award among the WAACA. It not only requires that a product demonstrate high design quality and creativity, but also that the designer demonstrates a sense of social responsibility and goodwill towards vulnerable groups. We hope that such works can help us understand the social attitudes and values of their creators. This year's entries were extremely competitive; they came primarily from rural areas, and used minimally invasive models,local construction strategies, and local resident participation processes, thereby achieving a good degree of consensus. To some extent,designers seemed to be at a loss regarding urban renewal in narrow alleyways and were only able to use temporary public furniture to express the connection shared by the community. In fact,the purpose of awarding prizes is to attract the attention of members of the architecture industry,and to promote the development of related design fields. As a result, the "common" quality of rural architectural works has improved. While the difficulty and problems facing urban renewal and urban resident living spaces are more challenging and still warrant the attention of members of the industry. We are looking forward to next year's entries for WA Social Equity Award.

This award is difficult to judge. The judging requirements for WA City Regeneration Award have already exceeded the valuation system of traditional architectural studies, forcing us to ask the question:how shall we judge? This depends on whether the jury is able to look beyond professional boundaries and re-examine contemporary Chinese architecture from a social perspective. Needless to say, many entrants did not carefully consider this complicated theme, although the challenge was more crucial for the jury. Obviously, what would be considered a good building by traditional architectural standards can no longer satisfy the requirements of an "urban contribution"? If a building has considerable value from a sociological perspective, how can we judge the role of the architect? Can we make accurate judgments based solely on photos and short descriptions? It is evident that, as a judge, it is impossible to properly judge these complex issues in such a short period. Therefore, I am restricted to making personal judgments on the design based on the type of project and traditional architectural aesthetic principles. I think that a building that serves the wider general public more broadly and follows aesthetic principles will attract greater admiration from the people.

The number of projects entered for the WA Housing Award in 2018 is similar to that of 2016. As in previous years, it is regrettable that there are not many excellent works that succeed in exploring the use of residence clusters that improve the quality of living spaces in high-density cities. As a result of the attention paid to issues of rural rejuvenation in recent years, the number of projects related to rural construction in which architects participate has risen significantly, especially those involving rural tourism housing. Architects have explored methods such as environmental adaptability, the use of local materials, and excavation and reuse, and have tried to find an effective means of translating local architecture into the language of modern architecture. In addition, in the new era of Chinese architecture, large-scale urban development models have gradually declined in popularity. In contrast,other projects have become increasingly important,such as those that apply urban micro-renewal, or in which architects develop existing buildings under the premise of preserving historical texture, thereby improving the quality of life for neighbourhood residents and the quality of urban public spaces.These are not only of important social and cultural value, but also deserve to be studied and explored by contemporary architects with regard to their architectural typology.

LI Xinggang

Jury member of WA Technological Innovation Award

Deputy Chief Architect, China Architectural Design and Research Institute

It is lamentable that the number of entrants for WA Technological Innovation Award is much lower than for other awards ahich reminds that architects should increase their level of attention and effort related to architectural technology.Besides, based on the submitted works, and especially those that are award-winning, we sense that the progress of modern Chinese architectural technology is currently shifting from "traditional"architectural composition, spatial construction,poetic architecture, and digital construction to standardized design, assembly construction, and green, energy saving integrations. In one regard,this reflects the major influence and impetus of national strategy and policy incentives. We hope that architects can adapt to trends without relaxing their requirements related to "timeless" architectural ontological progress. As demonstrated by the awardwinning works in WA Technological Innovation Award: a poetic approach to resisting gravity is perfectly integrated with usage requirements and is maximally open to the city as a new public space.

LIN Borong

Jury member of WA Technological Innovation Award

Professor, School of Architecture, Tsinghua UniversityThis is the first time that I have participated in judging WA Technological Innovation Award for 2018 WAACA. I have perceived China's recent innovative architectural works from the perspective of an architectural technology professional, and have noticed the following: Innovation-driven development has become a "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan National Strategy", concepts and technologies such as technological innovation (e.g. near-zero energy consumption, assembly methods, container construction, new materials and production methods, etc.), green development, the integration of nature, and pushing architectural limits have been well integrated into architectural works,and have been utilised in the civic service centres,electric vehicle charging stations, residences,culture and sports centres, rural construction,and architectural construction. In general, this round of entrants demonstrate very high levels of craftsmanship, especially regarding their fine nodes and delicate processing. Remarks on the Song Lyric and the Human Condition by Wang Guowei mention the "three realms" and express hope that architectural technology will similarly support architectural works, to eventually become a source of Chinese architectural creation in the new era and an expression of refined construction.

LIU Xiaodu

Jury member of WA Housing Award

Co-founder and Principal Architect, URBANUS

I am honoured to serve once again on the jury of 2018 WA Housing Award. I am pleased to note that this year's entrants have generally improved in both quantity and quality - I know that this statement may sound like a pleasantry, but it is true. It is also true that among all the award categories, the fewest entries were submitted for the housing category. This starkly contrasts to the massive number of residential construction projects in China. This reveals the fact that the vast majority of residential products lack the proper conditions for architectural creation, or that architects lack an awareness of or enthusiasm for the creation of residential buildings. Reflecting upon the large number of classic modernist works throughout history, residential buildings account for a fairly high proportion of these. The most influential aspect of people's life today is their living environment. Many good ideas were explored in this year's prize-winning works; from the concept of the poetic dwelling to elderly care,and from high-density urban communities to future living models. I hope that the WAACA will continue to present the Housing Award to continue encouraging the never-ending improvements in residential building design.

NI Yang

Jury member of WA Technological Innovation Award Vice President, Deputy Chief Architect, Architectural Design and Research Institute of South China University of Technology

This year was my first time participating in WAACA. Compared to my past experience, the appraisal felt completely different. WAACA has strong value orientation compared to the usual appraisal based on the "eight-character policy" for architecture: the City Regeneration Award, Social Equality Award, and Technological Innovation Award, etc. This value orientation also lays a new tone for appraisal. This is a substantial change,which feels like a breath of fresh air.

In this appraisal, I was assigned to WA Technological Innovation Awarel. In the beginning,I was also entangled in the understanding of technological innovation: Is it the value of progress of building technology itself, or the value of space experience brought about by appropriate technology?The final winner of the award - Hangzhou Inventronics Electric Vehicle Charging Station - gave a good answer. In a crowded city, the charging station was designed with a strategy of a complete spring layer. The roof is cantilevered for 20 metres and is as thin as a piece of paper, expressing the ultimate pursuit of architectural technology. Simultaneously,its huge cantilever also solves the demand for charging space for vehicles with two different sizes. This design of tackling complicated problems easily reflects the transparency and openness of the Internet era and is also an active response to urban space. In this case,the designer has dramatically improved the value of architectural technology and the value of the space experience brought by the technology.

The winning pieces from 2018 WAACA show impressively how well the more independent architects in China transfer their own attitudes and their own styles to their buildings. The quality of the work submitted in the different categories shows the architectural and city planning expertise, as well as the ability to use modern technical building equipment holistically in terms of sustainability and energy saving. The use of digital tools is also exemplary: They were not only used to plan and implement projects, but also as digital instruments to enhance the creative design options. This is visible in the architecture.

Two things impressed me in particular. Firstly, a distinctly pioneering and optimistic architectural style has emerged, but it is currently being implemented solely in a rural context. This will soon change. I am convinced that this style, with plain materials such as wood, concrete, glass and steel, and recognisable structures, will soon be visible on a large scale in exemplary pieces of architecture in the cities and metropolises. With great success and much international acclaim, such examples have already been displayed, at the Biennale Architettura in Venice in 2018.

Secondly, the excellent idea of the "Achievement Award" shows the sincerity and dedication with which buildings should be judged - not only on the day of opening, but across their entire lifetimes. All buildings should face this judgement, but quality over a longer time frame is something which is assessed far too rarely.

Both of these aspects are examples that reach far beyond the Chinese borders. They have the ability to be models for other dedicated and responsible architects and city planners all over the world.

This is my first year participating in WAACA as a judge, and the review process was a learning experience for me. During the award process,I witnessed excellent architectural practices that aimed at adapting to transformation and development. These works embody respect for and the carrying forward of local culture, the pursuit of human values, and an exploration of technological innovation. My professional background allows me to evaluate architectural design from the perspective of urban and rural planning. Many award-winning works demonstrated unique features that allowed them to integrate with their surrounding environment, which not only improves the spatial quality, but also plays an important role in shaping the spirit of a space and extending urban memory. As urban development shifts from expansion through new construction to stock renewal, architects' focus has shifted from designing new buildings to renovating old buildings. The organic renewal of cities can achieve the continuous improvement of the built-up environment; this not only improves the image of a city; more importantly,it improves its function and environment to satisfy the needs of its residents. This creates a more meaningful quality of life and a more pleasant spatial experience.

Throughout the long history of architectural development, the technological progress demonstrated by building materials, construction,structure, and production technologies has been the continued driving force behind architectural evolution and functional improvement. WA Technological Innovation Award hosted by World Architecture magazine emphasises architectural works that use innovative technological and advanced methods to realise the architectural technological progress, while also achieving functional, spatial, and environmental harmony. This year's award-winning work demonstrates distinct diversity: the judges award the winner prize to the Hangzhou Inventronics Electric Vehicle Charging Station, which demonstrates the significance of the era of ecological civility. The building is light and fully functional and illustrates the demand and effort that the architects put towards demonstrating the scalar limits of lightweight cantilever structures; this work demonstrates the meaning and value of technological progress. The two highly commended projects were awarded to two works with architectural typology significance.The temporary office area for Enterprise at"Xiong'an Civic Service Centre" was prefabricated and assembled onsite from shipping containers; it reflects the "Long-Plan" of integrating green, lowcarbon, energy-saving techniques. Other shortlisted projects also demonstrated the impact of technological development on architectural design and final environmental development from different perspectives, including large sports centres, community buildings, and small mobile installations. In the future, we hope that this award will attract greater attention to the combination of technological advancement and large-scale complexfunction structure design, and fully demonstrate the social impact of technological progress on living environments, as well as the functional benefits derived from building design.

Professor, School of Architecture, Tsinghua UniversityThis year's WA Design Experiment Award is the most difficult award category to judge. There were more than 100 entries this year with a broad distribution. The types of projects submitted for consideration were also diverse and included a variety of sizes and scales, in addition to many renovations and expansions of existing buildings.Entrants included all varieties of urban and rural construction, which were generally of good quality and completeness; as such, many excellent works were not short-listed. The judges agreed that the quality of architectural works in China has improved continuously over recent years, and that participants recognise and support the WAACA constantly.

As the chairman of WA City Regeneration Award jury and a jury for the WA the Achievement Award, I was moved by this year's review process in 2018. The level of enthusiasm of the participating architects and the overall quality of the work are impressive.WA City Regeneration Award entries that I judged included large-scale urban renewal projects and smallscale touch-up projects, but all entries demonstrated a general concern of the Chinese architectural community towards urban issues, demonstrating that an increasing number of architects are paying more attention to the public and social responsibilities of cities when dealing with urban spatial relations.They more often view their work as an integral part of cities and try to make their projects work for them in terms of function, scale, and space, rather than pursuing an independent commemorative effect.For an extended period of time, this has been one of the most lacking values in China's building industry.Among the several award-winning works for 2018 WA Achievement Award, this sense of responsibility was stronger than the sense of commemoration, and the works demonstrated a greater sense of commonality than self-importance, even in structures serving a commemorative function. Perhaps this represents a trend of Chinese architectural design theories and a progressive significance!

In the face of the impulsive pace of modernity,conservation design in villages can be seen as actions of practice aimed at resisting modern destruction. Integrated conservation is the key to the protection and reuse of traditional villages,meaning that living conditions are conserved. The vitality of a village is related to the role of the local economic dynamism and the organisation of society;It is a manifestation of these factors materially supporting physical restoration and the symbolic expression of the cultural form of space. This is the process of giving villages new meaning through community participation in addition to being a way for professionals to demonstrate equality towards society through design, the provision of technical support, and supporting the vitalization of traditional villages.

Once again, I was lucky enough to participate in the appraisal of the WA Achievement Award. With so many outstanding architectural works, paying attention to their engraved historical memories,listening to the cultural stories they tell, and feeling the rich polymorphism of Chinese architectural creation was very exciting and inspiring.

WA Achievement Award recognises classic projects that have stood the test of time and showcase the long-lasting value of architecture.Each award-winning project is a reflection of the overall architectural creation that combines "high standard positioning, precise planning, forwardlooking architectural design, local architectural heritage, and architectural space allowing for growth". The appraisal criteria are highly consistent with the guidelines of "suitable, economic, green and beautiful" for architecture in this new era.

Implementing the construction policy for the new era is an important way to achieve highquality green development in the new era of the construction industry. Since its establishment in 2002, the WAACA have become one of the architectural awards that have attracted the most attention in the country and have a certain international influence. The awards have played an increasingly important role in promoting the implementation of construction policies for the new era. It is beneficial to promote the return of Chinese architectural creation to the essence of architecture,to meet the requirements of the times, and to implement new ideas to achieve new functions.Thanks to the WAACA for the active efforts to prosper Chinese architectural creation. I believe and expect that the WAACA will become increasingly better.

Thank World Architecture magazine and Prof. ZHANG Li for inviting me to the jury of 2018 WAACA. Despite the language barrier, a new network of Chinese professionals, researchers,academicians and students were wide-open to me.Interacting with the jury members was something special and enchanting.

There were more than a hundred projects in WA City Regeneration Award category. The projects were in diverse variety. The jury was impersonal to value the projects those had the impact on the quality of life of the people living in the dense urban fabric of present day Chinese cities. The pre-conceived connotation of "international style" in contemporary China were popular in submission. Those were authoritarian and expressed economic growth but were out of place, out of scale and out of life. These architectural solutions and techniques of yesterday, as well as current modes of living, working, eating and travelling, is not compatible with the task that befalls our generations.

Meanwhile, I am very much overwhelmed to find a significant number of projects were very much innovative in the approach to address the urban landscape, the site setting, the surrounding community and people's life. Those projects portrayed a broad range of new solutions, each adapted to local climate, culture and challenges.Those are not just ideas, but on the ground,implemented and in use. The awarded projects are effective solutions that improve all lives, not only the lives of the wealthy or fortunate, while conserving our resources and using them wisely in the Chinese urban landscape.

This is a paradigm shift and a renaissance of contemporary Chinese architecture. The current trend of the world is towards sustainable, inclusive and carbon neutral development. World Architecture in a rightfully and timely manner showcases these projects to the world by WAACA. I extend my continued support and good wishes for Architecture School of Tsinghua University to take it forward and thus contribute to make the world a better place for living.

I am again fortunate enough to participate in judging WA Social Equality Award and WA Achievement Award. The judging of these two awards is characterised by many deep emotions.About 60% of WA Social Equality Award entries were related to rural construction. This demonstrates that the recent national strategy of rural revitalisation has greatly promoted rural development and the interaction between urban and rural areas, to which architects and other professionals have responded positively. WA Achievement Award is probably the most important of WAACA and has the largest jury.However, there are fewer entrants for this award compared with other awards for a variety of reasons,and the contrast between the projects is more significant, making it more difficult to judge. We suggest the realisation of appropriate adjustments for future judging procedures and regulations. In addition, in the face of more than 40 valid entries, it is a challenge to review a small number of text and images in a short period of time, especially for works that have not been visited in person. My confidence in project evaluation was derived from experiencing projects in person.

This year is my third time judging the World Architecture Awards for Chinese Architecture(WAACA), and I strongly feel that the overall quality of the design works has gradually increased over that period of time. WAACA categories are clear and reasonable, highly specialized, and have fair, open, inclusive, and rigorous characteristics.Compared to other architecture awards in China,they are unique. The architects who participated in this year's awards were extremely enthusiastic,and WA Design Experiment Award that I judged this year had more than 100 entrants, many of which were extremely innovative works that were boldly experimental. I think that WA Design Experiment Award's establishment is extremely significant as it encourages architects to expand their thinking, update their ideas, and achieve true innovation. The judging efficiency was very high this year, and the jury was very serious about its responsibility. The jury held free discussions and evaluated more than three hundred projects in only one day. My sense is that the judging mechanisms of the WAACA are continuously maturing, and that the awards are increasingly famous and influential. In the future, they will become a benchmark for the development of contemporary Chinese architecture.

Jury member of WA City Regeneration Award

Associate Professor, School of Architecture, Tsinghua University

WA City Regeneration Award was the most competitive award of the WAACA, and the number of entries was the highest among all categories.Even so, the appraisal process was relatively smooth,and the four judges almost unanimously agreed on the finalists. One of the principal reasons is that a considerable proportion of the participating works failed to understand the connotation of the"City Regeneration" correctly. In the documents submitted for appraisal, there was hardly any indication of the aspects in which the work had positively influenced and contributed to the city.Even in the display board, there was no basic diagram indicating the relationship between the work and the city. Therefore, although many works were quite ingenious in their monomer design, they were unfortunately eliminated in the first round of appraisal. It is particularly worth mentioning that the quality of the final award-winning works of 2018 City Regeneration Award were significantly better than previous years' works. Although the top awardwinning works were splendid and diverse, which made choosing a winner difficult, the final award winners truly deserved the honour.

A residential building is a building that people use in their daily lives. "Anyone who needs to settle down should be given a domicile", and people's living behaviour, as Heidegger said, should be the pursuit of the "poetic dwelling"; here, "dwelling"is functional in meaning, while "poetic" refers to spiritual necessity. A poetic dwelling must not only satisfy people's living functions, but also serve as a destination where people can seek spiritual comfort and sustenance. In today's world, we consider spiritual needs and are willing to expand these needs to include aspects such as historical artefacts,social relationships, hospice, and other issues of modern life; these are the keys to this year's judging process.
