在资本主义的经济模式下，批量生产已经成为常态，这种人们司空见惯的生产模式背后，实质却隐藏着人类文明的倒退。

在食品生产行业，农药的广泛使用带来了稳定的粮食产量，然而关于这些化学药品对人类健康产生威胁的报道却从未停止过。而在制衣业，廉价服装的批量生产则往往以工厂对基本人权的侵害和恶劣的工作环境为代价。类似的事情在当今时代背景下不胜枚举。为了将堆积如山的产品如数清出，现代广告行业顺势而生。铺天盖地的宣传蒙蔽了消费者的眼睛，让他们不再能独立地判断，只会跟随所谓的潮流趋势，人云亦云。

Under the economic model of capitalism, geared as it is to mass production, while it may be true that we have achieved a certain level of stability, we are also seeing huge steps backward on a cultural level.

In the area of food production, for example, the use of pesticides has meant a more reliable supply of crops, but reports on the kinds of damage these chemicals can wreak on the human body are constantly emerging. In the clothing industry, factories producing budget-priced garments are often founded on the basis of fundamental human rights abuses and involve appalling working conditions. And these are merely a couple of illustrations. Furthermore, the need to sell all these mass-produced goods has given rise to the modern advertising industry, which has in turn dulled consumers’ powers of discrimination, as they are lulled into the sense of security offered by owning whatever the people around them own.

如今，人们对独特性的丧失已然习以为常。在建筑领域，这个即使最普遍的居住建筑设计也应该百花齐放的行业，人们已经只能在有限的目录中选择成品作为自己未来的家。如果我们换一个角度来思考建筑，将每一个建筑体看作城市景观乃至城市文化的一个重要组成部分，那么显然，这些建筑物应该找到一种更自由、更具创造性的表达方式。

It has come to the point where there is virtually no sense of unease about this loss of individuality. Accordingly, in the field of architecture too, where, ideally, even residential buildings should reflect a broad range of styles, choosing a design for a house has become akin to choosing ready-made items from a catalogue. If we embrace a concept of architecture whereby we understand its potential as a key component of a town or city’s landscape – even its culture, these creations should be a much freer expression of originality.

残酷的现状激发了设计师的灵感，推出了以h22建筑为名的一系列作品，呼吁社会对自由表达和创造力的重视和尊重。没有人知道这些建筑是否会实现，即使实现又会在地球上的哪个角落，又或是外太空实现。设计师只希望可以突破所有束缚和限制，设计出极具想象力和创造性的建筑。

大批量生产带来了文明的倒退，而设计师渴望与之彻底划清界线，h22建筑是他们在寻找建筑意义的道路上一次大胆的尝试。

It was the distress I felt at this state of affairs that motivated me to set up h22 Architects, emphasising and respecting free expression and creativity. And so, whether the construction sites end up being in the cities of the future, or even, for all we know, out in space, it is with this sense of being completely unfettered that I undertake to engage in truly imaginative and creative architectural design.

Desirous of a clean break with the cultural regression of mass production, h22 Architects posits a fresh take on what architecture is all about.
