Appreciation towards TDA® for providing the following description.

“我相信，没有明确的秩序就无法（用建筑）清楚地表达出我们的时代。
我深信建筑只能是一种文明的表达。
是对文明本质的呈现。
我通常将建筑与语言进行比较。要真正掌握一门语言，必须掌握它的语法，之后人才可以清楚地表达出自我。
这种表达可以是陈述性的，也可以是非常有逻辑性的，
如果是诗人的话，他甚至可以将语言表达成为艺术
我相信同样的事情也发生在建筑领域。

I believe that one cannot achieve a clear expression of our time but is capable of using clear constructive discipline.
I am convinced that architecture cannot be anything other than the expression of a civilization.
The expression of the essence of that civilization.
I usually compare architecture with language. To truly master a language, one must master its grammar. Then one could express oneself clearly. One could say very normal things in a language, one can state very logical things, and if one is a poet, one can even express artistic things in a language.
And I believe that exactly the same thing happens in architecture.”

—— 摘自纪录片《密斯》 Michael Blackwood. 1986. Arquia / Documentary Collection.

密斯的这种反思激发了人们对建筑终极目标的探索。当今时代，飞速的发展与饱和的环境逐渐削弱了人们对于周边事物的关注，建筑本身已经不再是空间的主角，我们呼吁保持沉默，同时也深刻理解密斯所倡导的纪律、秩序和形式。

This reflection by Mies provokes the search for the ultimate goal of architecture. In this contemporary time when saturation and speed attenuate attention, we assume the role of non-protagonist architecture. We appeal to silence. We understand constructive clarity based on discipline.

TDA®事务所从创立以来一直秉承着严谨的研究态度，他们将建筑学当做一门语言，除了学习单词、语法、习语外，还要不断地实践、运用，理解形容词的正确用法、识别动词、辨别停顿，等等……通过不断的练习与聆听提高自我表达的准确性。这个过程最终成为他们坚守的信念，他们的设计力图通过合理利用资源来改善地球上人类的居住环境，并以社会参与者与合作者的身份不断学习。

The path traveled by our study since its inception to this day is this. Learn, modes and idioms, practice their use, understand the right moment to use an adjective, know how to recognize a verb, exercise accuracy, keep pause … listen. Beyond the results, we strengthen the idea of the road as a discipline. We establish a single conversation, the hopeful improvement of human habitation within the planet, through the reasonable use of resources and aiming at the constant exercise of learning together, as partners, in society.

融会贯通，而不拘泥于细节，就如同在学习一门语言时，只用完全理解才能真正做到与情景的互动，对建筑的理解亦是如此。在此基础上，设计才能以材料的方式表达出来，将想象的图稿转化为具体的空间，并通过严谨的分析，以清晰的逻辑传递出设计者的意图。设计者与使用者/观看者之间形成直接的对话，两者之间的信息传递变得更加精炼、明确、准确，建筑空间也因此更加人性化。

We are not interested in the particular, if we apprehend. (when you study you learn, but when you interact with the environment you apprehend). From that, we can transform matter into material, imaginary into concrete and proceed with rigorous analysis to the decision that communicates with maximum clarity an idea, be it a stone, a word or a living space. Thus, the conversation intensifies, the relationship between sender and receiver is refined, becoming more and more accurate, more precise, more human.

在建筑思维下，材料是一门深奥的学科，它是建筑表达必不可少的语言。利用光影与景观来丰富空间与感受，利用知识来克服重力和恐惧，不断打破设计的局限性。VU4B住宅的设计旨在保护与分享，以自由的思维去构想出一个独特的场所，为居住在里面的人创造更好的生活。

We confer on the convocation of matter as an authentic discipline of architectural thinking, We give it the role of word, and with it we say things … That we love the shade and the landscape, that we repeat tirelessly to enjoy the space among many, that we use knowledge to overcome gravity and fear, that we recognize our limitations and therefore ask for help, that we do to protect and share and above all that we think in freedom and imagine unique places to live better.

这座独特的小房子宛如城市喧嚣中的一个短暂的休止符，谦逊地隐匿在周边的环境中，虚空、花园、空气、光线与砖块融合在一起，营造出宁静宜人的居住氛围。

As one more phrase within the general conversation, this small house is a pause in the constant noise of the city, absent and unnoticed, it is made of emptiness, gardens, air, light and the occasional brick. Let’s keep talking, but even better let’s try to listen more and better … even the silences.
