20 Things Your Non-Architect Friends Secretly Think About You

由专筑网缕夕，严越编译

由于长工作时间，建筑思维渐渐渗透到生活的每一个方面，或与其他因素结合，但是建筑师拥有着自己的文化。在我们封闭的社会圈子中，迷恋某样东西实在太平常，以至于忘记了，我们的小怪癖对圈外人来说其实很奇怪。如果你的朋友是一位建筑师，然而你的建筑知识仅停留在两位弗朗克身上（盖里和赖特），那么他们不会进一步和你分享更多的小秘密。

Maybe it's a result of long studio hours, the fact that architectural thinking tends to seep into every aspect of life, or a combination of other factors—but it's certain that architects have a culture all their own. Weird obsessions feel so commonplace in our closed social circles that it's easy to forget how bizarre some of our little quirks can appear to people on the outside. If you're an architect with a friend whose architectural knowledge pretty much stops at the Franks (Gehry and Lloyd Wright), here are some secret thoughts about you that they might be harboring.

1.“你绝对是个爱收集的人，整天引用《建筑实录》和《DWELL》的老议题。”

2.“你势必要拿到所有加班费。”

3.“嘿！你的工作可以在任何经济状况中让你生存下去。”
（切，他们才不知道）

4.“为什么你的Instagram只有建筑物而不是海滩和食物？这真是个悲伤的故事”

1. "You are an absolute hoarder for keeping those old issues of Architectural Record and Dwell for 'reference.'"
2. "You must be getting paid a ton for all those overtime hours."
3. "You’re lucky to have a job whose necessity will survive any economy."
(Oh, if only they knew...)
4. "Why is your Instagram filled only with buildings instead of beaches and food? Sad."

5.“如果我再问近代与现代有什么不同，你一定会杀了我——但我就是死活分不清它俩。”

6.“你一定对我有所怨言，所以不肯和我一起吃饭。”

7.“喝这么多的咖啡，压力山大。客户可怕，你又不能不去接触，真怕你早死。”

8.“为什么正常人会买自己红外线测量仪？它要花多少钱呀？

9.“你肯定夸大你的客户可怕性了，说真的，你能不夸夸其谈吗？

10.“野兽派建筑是恶梦，你喜欢它你更可怕。”

5. "You’re going to kill me if I ask about the difference between modern and contemporary again—but I can never keep them straight."
6. "You must secretly hate me—why else would you never be able to meet for drinks or dinner?"
7. "You’re going to die an early death. Between all the coffee, stress, and awful clients you can’t stop talking about, there’s no way you’re making it past 50."
8. "You’re ridiculous for owning a laser measure. How much did that thing cost again?"
9. "You are definitely exaggerating about how terrible your clients are. Really, can’t you just drop them?"
10. "Brutalist architecture is the stuff of nightmares, and you're a monster for enjoying it."

11.“你是最好的导游，因为你总会找到一些切入点来说你遇到的建筑物。”

12.“但是，跟你们旅行也是不容易，你们遇到每个建筑都停下来，依旧滔滔不绝的把你知道的东西说出来。”

13.“独自主持和建设整个设计项目，这么牛逼的事情你是怎么做到的。”

11. "You make the best tour guide. You always find something insightful to say about any building you come across."
12. "But you’re also awful to travel with. You stop and ogle at every other building and can’t seem to stop sharing just how much knowledge you have about each one."
13. "It's cool how you singlehandedly mastermind and build entire design projects."

14.“你花了太多年读书了。”
（你四年制学位的朋友认为你很疯狂，但是他们应该感激你正在学习如何设计不会塌的建筑）

15.“帮你选礼物最轻松 ”。
（很快的买一个极简主义的花瓶或一个新的建筑出版物，你就很满意了。）

16.“你为什么还是单身，建筑师们不应该是听理想的伴侣？”
（真相是，你没有任何时间处理“关系”这样的事情。）

14. "You’re spending way too many years in school."
(Your four-year degree friends think you’re crazy, but they should be grateful you’re learning how to design structures that don’t, you know, collapse in on themselves.)
15. "You’re the easiest person on my holiday gift list."
(A quick minimalist vase or a fresh architecture publication and you’re satisfied.)
16. "Why are you still single? Aren't architects supposed to be super dreamy?"
(Truth is, you just don't have any time for things like "relationships.")

17.“评价我孩子的乐高创作而言，你有绝对发言权的。”

18.“如果我想要建房子，我知道可以打电话给谁。”
（如果你幸运的话，他们还可能给你理想房子付钱建造。）

19.“你的工作应该是融合了艺术家、工程师和建筑工人——但你总要装逼的说‘设计’这个词。”

20.“你真的很爱你的手艺”。

17. "You’re the only voice that matters when it comes to praising my kid’s LEGO creations."
18. "If I ever want to build a house, I know who to call to design it."
(If you’re lucky, they might even be planning to pay you for your dream home services.)
19. "Your job is supposed to be like a mix between artist, engineer, and construction worker—but all you’ve actually done is become super pretentious about the use of the word 'design.'"
20. "You are seriously dedicated to your craft."
