1.Im going to speak to you today about architectural agency. 今天我来和大家聊聊建筑事务所。2.What I mean by that is that its time for architecture to do things again, not just represent things. 这里的“建筑”是指建筑再现的过程， 而不是简简单单的视觉表现。3.This is a construction helmet that I received two years ago at the groundbreaking of the largest project I, and my firm, have ever been involved in. 这是两年前我在我和事务所参加的有史以来 最具开拓性的项目中 得到的一只建筑头盔。4.I was trilled to get it. I was thrilled to be the only person standing on the stage with a shiny silver helmet. 当时得到它我兴奋极了。能成为唯一一个头戴银光闪闪的头盔 站上舞台的人实在让我激动不已。5.I thought it represented the importance of the architect. 我觉得它就代表了那座建筑的重要性。6.I stayed thrilled until I got home, threw the helmet onto my bed, fell down onto my bed and realized inside there was an inscription. 直到回到家里，我还激动得不行 我把头盔扔到床上， 在床上躺下，这才发现头盔里还刻了字。 （警告：这个特制的镀银头盔只能作装饰用途，无实际保护功能）7.(Laughter) Now, I think that this is a great metaphor for the state of architecture and architects today. （笑） 现在，我觉得这是一个深刻的隐喻 正传达了当今建筑师与建筑的情况。8.We are for decorative purposes only. 我们都只是装饰品而已。9.(Laughter) Now, who do we have to blame? （笑） 那么，这都怪谁呢？10.We can only blame ourselves. Over the last 50 years the design and construction industry has gotten much more complex, and has gotten much more litigious. 只能怪我们自己。过去的这五十年来， 设计和建造业变得如此复杂 如此争强好胜。11.And we architects are cowards. 而我们建筑师却成了胆小鬼。12.So, as we have faced liability, we have stepped back and back, and unfortunately, where there is liability, guess what there is. 当我们面对责任， 就步步后退 但不幸的是，哪里有责任，13.Power. 哪里就有权利。14.So, eventually we have found ourselves in a totally marginalized position, way over here. 结果就是我们最终发现自己 已经完全退到了最边缘的地方。15.Now, what did we do? Were cowards, but were smart cowards. 现在，我们又该怎么办呢？我们确实是胆小鬼， 但又是其中最聪明的。16.And so we redefined this marginalized position as the place of architecture. 所以我们得将这块边缘地带重新设定成建筑的存在空间。17.And we announced, Hey, architecture, its over here, in this autonomous language were going to seed c
