信步辑，闲庭信步看世界。

gooood的信步辑是一个可以拥有许多子分类的专辑。这里为大家展现的是其中一个子分类：爱画画的建筑师。有的建筑师用电脑画画（漫画，地图，平面设计），有的建筑师用手绘（毛笔，速写），还有的建筑师开发出让大家画画的超火app；他们有的转身互联网从业或创业，有的则在创作建筑的同时坚守着画画与相关研究。这些爱画画的建筑师们的生活与创作图景是什么样的？

Rumble, to take a glance at the world by wandering.

Ramble is an album including many sub-albums, and this sub-album is about architects who love drawing. Someone uses computer to draw illustrations and to make maps; someone sketches by writing brushes; someone develops an App for doodling. Some of them changed their professions and devote into the Internet industry, and some of them still work as architects and insist on their study of drawing. How do those architects who love drawing live and create?

信步辑子分类“爱画画的建筑师”这次先推出4期，这是第一期：

张小哈
Qianna Zhang

现年24岁的张小哈（本名张倩娜）毕业于西安交通大学建筑学本科，本科期间曾在意大利米兰理工大学交换一年并环游欧洲。张小哈毕业后在中国建筑上海设计研究院工作，期间完成了app游戏《建筑师之夜》并由此实现转行。兴趣广泛，能力全面的她目前从事着UI设计师的工作，并独立运营微信公众号啊哈时刻（ah-ha-moment），同时张小哈在业余时间也热衷于参与到室内改造的项目中。张小哈的电脑绘画具有强烈的个人特色，在她的漫画中，设计以及科技相关的故事以诙谐轻松充满想象力的方式展开，让人忍俊不禁，过目难忘。

Qianna Zhang is 24 years old, and she studied architecture at Xi’an Jiaotong University. She was an exchange student at Politecnico di Milano, and traveled around the Europe at the same time. After graduation, she worked for Chinese Shanghai Architectural Design & Research Institute for a while, and developed the App Archinight before she changed her career. With broad interests, Qianna Zhang is an UI designer now, and also operates the official account Aha Moment on Wechat independently. She also does some projects of interior renovation in her spare time. The digital drawings done by Qianna Zhang show distinctive characteristics, and those stories related to design and technology are always expressed in a humorous way.

1. 绘画对你意味着什么？
What does drawing mean for you?

绘画是让我表达自我，保持灵性，分享经验，发挥创造力的一种方式，是比较私人的。

我更习惯于图像记忆而不是文字记忆，比如我很喜欢把城市的地图印在脑子里。所以任何时候，我的脑海中会自然而然的浮现出画面。画画的时候我很快乐，很鲜活。我也很享受把抽象的知识、思想和故事转化为脑海中的画面并表达出来的这一过程。

Drawing is a way to express myself, an experience to share and a creative outlet; it is more personal for me.

I am more used to graphic memory rather than verbal memory; for example, I always keep maps of cities in my mind. There’re always images come to my mind at any time. Drawing makes me happy and alive. I also enjoy the process of transferring abstract knowledge, thoughts and stories to the scenes in mind and expressing them through drawings.

2. 是什么原因促使你从建筑师转行到现在的行业？
Why do you change your career from an architect to an UI designer?

在学习建筑时，我就看过用户体验相关的书籍，因此有一定的了解。在业余时间和男友雨叔一起做了《建筑师之夜》App后，我发现自己对这一领域很感兴趣，所以了解了大量相关信息。发现做建筑的思维和做互联网产品的思维非常相似，让我有信心自己可以成功转行并胜任这一工作。另外一方面，建筑大环境在当时并不好，建筑师的处境是比较无奈的。《建筑师之夜》是让我有转行想法的一个契机，也成为了我离开建筑行业前最后的纪念。

I already had a basic understanding of user interface by reading books while I was an architecture student. In my spare time, I worked with my boyfriend and developed the game Archinight together. I found my interest in this field and got to know a large amount of related information. I gradually realized the similarity between architectural thinking and Internet thinking and built up my confidence for this new career.

3. 建筑的背景对于你新的领域发展起到什么样的作用？
How does your background of architecture have influence on your current career?

在离开建筑的一年里，我尝试了很多方向。绘制了一份母校地图《啊哈，西交大》；和男友雨叔做了一个游戏APP《建筑师之夜》；和男友一起做了《薄荷小屋》等三个室内设计改造的项目；做了《啊哈时刻》的公众号；绘制了《啊哈时刻张小哈》的微信表情；转行成为UI设计师；在VR内容制作的公司交流学习并尝试策划VR游戏。

我觉得建筑就像一棵大树的树根与树干，因为学习了建筑，所以开始对很多事物产生兴趣，慢慢的这棵大树长出了新的枝桠，这些枝桠可以是艺术，科技，人文，互联网，历史，心理学等等。建筑就像一个基础学科，激发着人的探索欲与求知欲。

学习建筑的过程中，我学会了设计思维与科学的设计方法。因为有这种设计思维，在新的领域做设计时只要按照这个流程，都可以较好地完成项目。设计都是相通的，比如网格，组件化，构图，审美，区别在于所用到的工具以及设计所服务的对象。

同时，做建筑时的高强度让我有比较强的执行力与做计划的能力，能够充分的利用自己的时间。离开建筑后，节奏反而慢了很多，因此有更多的时间去探索自己，输入更多的想法与知识，输出更多有创造力的作品。

Architecture is a giant tree full of branches. Since I have studied architecture, I develop my interest in diverse fields. All the art, technology, humanity, Internet, history, psychology and other disciplines seem extended branches of the giant tree. Architecture works as a fundamental subject stimulating my desire for knowledge.

While I was studying architecture, I learned a scientific method of design. Because of the method, I am able to complete design projects well in new fields. Architecture has much in common with other design fields, sharing much similarity in grids, modularization, composition and aesthetics, and the difference between them are tools and clients.

At the same time, I worked with strong execution because of the intense architectural education, and was able to manage my time well. After I quitted architecture, my pace of life got slow, and I have more time to engage in self exploration and to make more creative works.

4. 什么时候开始进行“啊哈时刻”这一类风格的漫画创作的，为什么要采用漫画这一种形式？
When did you start the “aha moment”? Why do you choose cartoon as your form of creation?

是从2014年末开始的。那时我刚开始工作不久，在工作之余想做些自己的事情。“啊哈时刻”的画风起源于我绘制的一份母校地图《啊哈，西交大》。我很喜欢收集地图。大三环游欧洲时，我每去一个城市，就会收集一份地图。我享受着只用地图和自己的脚去丈量整个城市的过程，而这个过程，不断的激发着我的好奇心和求知欲。因为热爱地图，因此一直希望自己能绘制一份地图。于是就决定先从母校，这个自己最了解的地方开始绘制。

我认为地图作为一份纪念品，不应该只提供建筑物或者路名等信息，他应该呈现的是人的活动，人的记忆，人的情感。在制作时，我弱化了建筑物，而是强调了人在其中的活动与行为。希望看到它的人，每一次拿出来，都能发现新鲜有趣的事物，唤起自己感情的共鸣。在绘制地图的过程中，逐渐形成了自己的风格。地图包含两部分，场景和人。场景的表现风格我选择了上帝视角加轴测图。在欧洲旅行时，每去一个城市，都会先去一个比较高的地方，俯瞰这个城市。当人站在高处时，很容易看清事物内在的联系。就像做建筑时，很难独立去思考一个建筑该如何设计，而是要去调研它所处的城市，区位以及周边环境。轴测图比透视图更抽象，当表达方式更抽象时，更容易从现实世界跳脱出来，看到我所想表达的东西。

人的绘制是比较简单的，我采用了组件的方式来绘制小人儿，特色在于小人们的表情。小人的表情来源于“啊哈时刻”这个名字。“啊哈时刻”来源于英文的“aha moment”，在英文里它指的是“顿悟时刻”。这个时刻一定是一个很快乐的瞬间，但又不同于欲望得到满足或感官刺激所但带来的快乐。能拥有这个时刻的人，应该是有强烈的好奇心，在某一件事物上不断探索与积累，某一时刻，突然就获得了这种快乐，能发出一句感叹“啊，原来是这样啊”。每个人看到这个词应该都会有不同的感受。在设计中，可以理解为“被某个设计感动的瞬间”，抑或是“做了前期的头脑风暴与大量调研，得出了某一个创作思路的瞬间”。我想用一个具象的表情来表现“啊哈时刻”这个抽象的瞬间，所以就有了现在看到的小人脸上没心没肺的开心表情。绘制完成了这份地图，我自然而然的就开始用这种画风创作插画了。也希望“啊哈时刻”能吸引到有探索欲望和强烈好奇心的朋友。

It’s started in the end of year 2014, and the style of “aha moment” is originated from the “aha, Xi’an Jiaotong University”, a map I made for my school. I am fond of maps. When I was a junior, I travelled around Europe and collected a map of each city I had been. My love of maps always encourages me to make a map by my own, and I decided to start it from my school, the place I know best.

I consider that map should present activities, memories and emotions of human beings. I gradually form my own style by making maps. A map always includes two parts, scenes and people. I choose the God’s View and axonometry for my style of expression in scenes. It’s easier for people who stand high to figure out the connections between things. Axonometry is more abstract than perspective and much easier to get out of the real world.

Facial expressions that featured my characters are originated from the word “aha moment”, which means a point in time when someone has a sudden insight. It must be a happy moment, but also differs from moments when desires are satisfied or pleasure caused by sensory stimuli. I decided to express this abstract moment by a simple expression, and here’s the smiling face of my characters. After I completed this map, I started to work with this style naturally, and hope that the “aha moment” can attract a group of people who are curious and share a same sprit of adventure.

5. 你在进行创作的时候，工作步骤是什么样，如何准备一篇文章的内容？
What’re your working steps? How do your prepare the content?

我创作的内容分为四类。（详见微信公众号：啊哈时刻）第一类是我自己的思考以及对这个世界的认识，这一类其实是我的意识流，也是最需要灵感的一种。在创作时，我在脑海中已经构思好了画面与文案。在草稿纸上把脑海中的画面绘制出来，最后用软件的形式表现。

第二类是科技与设计的知识干货类。会先列出整篇文章的框架，搜集资料，学习相关的知识点，有时也会加一些自己对未来的想象。然后给每一部分配图，配好图之后开始写文案。也会让作为科技爱好者的男友雨叔帮我看看。

第三类是设计师体验类。这类是日常有意思小事的积累，会从周围的朋友身上获得灵感，因为身边有很多设计师朋友，随时可以积累素材。

第四类是有情节的漫画，体现在我创作的《一个有关VR的爱情故事》。先在脑海中构思好剧本，然后在纸上把整个故事的草图画出来，再假象自己是读者，一步步进行修改，进行绘制。这四类都是从我自身的兴趣与思考出发的。有时是我自己成长过程中的思考，希望表达出来；有时是知识与体验，希望与大家分享。如果要源源不断的输出新的创意与想法，自己也需要不断的成长与输入新的思想与知识，否则“啊哈时刻”的内容会受到我自身的局限。

My contents can be divided into four categories. The first category is about my perception and reflection of the world. It’s more about consciousness and requires the most inspiration. I already have scenes and texts in my mind from the start. Sketching out on the paper, I finally present them through computer softwares.

The second category includes fun facts about technology and design. Initially, I create the framework of an article by collecting data, learning related knowledge and adding my own imagination sometimes. Then, I make illustration for each part, and I will also ask my boyfriend who is a technophile to check for me.

The third type is about my own experience as a designer. It’s an accumulation of interesting trifles from my friends who are also designers.

The final category includes storylines. For example, I started with my work “a love story about VR” by working on a script and drawing all the sketches on the paper, and I revised them later by imaging myself as a reader.

6. 对“啊哈时刻”这个系列有怎样的期望？
What do you expect from the “aha moment”?

系列现在分为两部分，一部分是公众号里的漫画，一部分是微信表情。我想把它们做成一个比较大的IP，但真正的方向我还在探索。

The series is divided into two parts: one is the cartoon on my official account, the other is WeChat Stickers. I am still probing the direction, but I want to make them into a famous IP (intellectual property).

7. 在互联网行业从业后再回看建筑行业，你认为建筑行业有哪些地方可以借鉴互联网行业？
If you take a look at the architecture industry after your practice in the Internet industry, is there any lessons for the architecture industry to learn from the Internet industry in your opinion?

我在建筑行业从业的时间较短，只能粗浅的表达自己的观点。我认为无论所处什么行业，设计师所要做的工作是非常相似的，服务设计对象，发现需求，提出解决需求的方案，用设计方法执行方案。同时要和上下游的同事协作与沟通。区别在于市场对这个行业的需求，需求决定了从事该行业从业者的处境与状态。另外一点是商业模式，建筑行业里，设计院或设计公司服务于甲方，产品需要满足甲方需求与市场需求，没有市场的直接反馈，也没有产品后续用户使用情况的跟进（不包括甲方从业者）；互联网行业里，设计师大部分是直接在甲方，即互联网公司工作，产品要满足市场需求，只有互联网产品受到市场的喜爱，有了流量才能有盈利，因此设计师可以更直接的接受到市场带来的反馈，小步迭代。我认为一个行业和另一个行业的发展之所以不同，归根结底还是时代发展的趋势，政策的指向以及市场的需求，建筑和互联网的模式，我认为并没有谁优谁劣，所以也谈不上借鉴。他们都是时代的产物，我们也是。但无论在什么时代，我觉得人的本性是不会变的，那就是热爱美，热爱自然，以及对未知事物与美好事物的好奇心与探索欲望。

There’s no discrimination between architectural models and Internet models, and borrowing is actually out of question. Both of them are projects of our time, so do we. Regardless of the age we live in, it’s unchangeable for human being’s love of beauty, and exploration of the unknown.
