一、读书：

很多，《营造法式》《园冶》等。

明代计成所著《园冶》，向大家推荐一下，这本书是我看得比较多的一本书。此书很详细的讲出了人与建筑，人与自然之间的关系，以及从中国传统文化哲学的角度，去审视空间给人的感受。虽是讲造园，其实很细节讲出了空间处理的应用的一切手法。无论是对工法，还是对材料，还是对情感把握，赋予了空间很多人文的东西。这本书要多读几遍比较好，初读索然无味，最后是耐人寻味，越读你会发现这本书越现代，所以对现代建筑空间设计师，我认为是很有必要读的一本书。

二、旅行

比较深刻的一次，是去广西黄姚这个古村落。第一次在一个古代村落，发现总体的建筑群是如此的现代。干净利落，自在生成，整体视觉又非常的饱满。无论到建筑砌法，还是小小的开窗，却是如此现代化。走入室内会发现自然用光如此精妙，很多伦勃朗式的用光，很温情，有的也很神圣。不虚此行。

三、大师

柯布西耶、路易巴拉干。

柯布，不用讲，影响了一切现代建筑师。路易巴拉干，很好的阐释了建筑与自然，与天空，与人的关系，手法简单亦平实，色彩大胆。巴拉干让我真正了解了，室内建筑也要有室外功夫，内部空间做好，可能更需要做足外部空间。一个震慑灵魂的空间，是很好体现人与空间，与光影，与自然的完美结合，绝非当下空间设计与外无交流之说。

四、客户

一个做企业的，一个做艺术的。不知学什么，不知说什么。企业家学成艺术家？员工全跑了。艺术家学企业家的包容？人格魅力？喜怒不行于色？什么都创作不出来了。

五、传统教育

我很想聊聊我们当下这个不堪的传统教育。当下传统的教育怎么样，看看当下的毕业生便知。

中国传统教育，走到今天如此不堪。在这些年里已经是老生长谈的一件事儿了。传统教育，怎么样，谁说了都不算。看看我们每年走人社会的刚刚毕业的天之骄子们，便知一二。专业不知，技术更不知，情感亦不知。当今各大院校神仙学府，均修得高端、大气、上档次。高堂巍巍。有些学费贵得或者门槛高得只有富二代能上得起，要不全家砸锅卖铁的换成钱，变成希望，送进了你这高等学府，然而均是府邸，何谈高等。中学时代，我们的传统教育就把一群考分机器输送进一座座山一样的高校。然后，便开始了享受这辉煌大学的生活。乱恋爱、乱聊天上网，乱七八糟，大学毕业只对娱乐男女、网上的事关心，其他事漠不关心。工作一年便想当老板，富甲一方的还好，家里经济拮据着，也同样用自己大学里学的那一点，可怜又愚蠢的道理，说服对你充满希望白发苍苍的老父老母，拿出棺材钱来，为你这个刚工作一年或两年，毫无任何经验的黄口小儿去创你的大业。挥霍两年后发现自己不是老板，赶紧关门，再重复上面同样的事情。这就是我们传统的教育的产品。

中国传统教育：你为何不教教这些孩子什么是坚韧，什么是人格魅力，什么是基本道德的底线，什么是情感。纵观当下学生，为何受教育越多的情感越冷漠，情商越低，道德水准毫无底线。为何？

传统设计教育，更是吓人的吓人。你们的教育应是让孩子们怎样在扎实的功底之上去发散他的思维，而不是不停的山寨又山寨，或是伪设计创造者。再看看这两年的设计学生。如果说早些年，还教育出一批画图匠，那么现在呢？连个图都不会画，还感觉理所当然。师者，“传道，授业，解惑”，才有师表巍巍。不传道，不受业，不解惑，枉为师者，教育枉然。一批批的电脑儿童进入这个社会，文化艺术电脑能帮的了吗？马云敢说吗，马化腾更敢说？他们能瞬间微信出无敌天才吗？控制电脑的永远是人脑，是“人”。中国社会，不是车间。但我们当下的传统教育学府啊！你们就是一批全是机床的车间主任，电闸一开，马上生产出一大堆标准模具，再到社会上去创造一堆产品，非艺术品。文化艺术能如此吗？

说了这么多，忘了，当下之学府已成娱乐电台，教授亦是娱乐明星，上头条，赚大钱，比什么都重要。算了吧！

六、其他学习途径

师法自然，到自然中找灵感。当下年轻人或大师足不出户，守着个人网络，查阅着全世界最新的设计图片，认为是在吸收营养，其实是在吸毒。多读读文学书，去自然走走，多看看，慢慢便会悟出真理。因为设计时髦书上的佼佼者，都是师法自然的。

Modern Decoration Interview-Designers' Learning Approach

1. Reading

Yuan Ye written by Ji Cheng from Ming Dynasty is my recommended book. It reviews particularly on relations between human and architecture, human and nature, examines from traditional cultural and philosophical angle how space speaks to human being. Though it¡¯s a book of landscape architecture, it covers pretty much all techniques of space processing. In terms of skills, materials and emotional dimension, it invests some humanity and cultural elements into the space. Reading this book might appear to be boring at first, but you will come to realize how modern the content could be. I believe this is a must-read for today¡¯s architects and interior designers.

2. Travelling

It was a impressive trip to Huangyao, a ancient village in Guangxi Province. For the first time I witnessed the modernity revealed by the ancient buildings, clean and neat, natural and spontaneous. From bond approach to tiny windowing, they all come across as modern and current. The subtlety in using natural light amazed me as I walked inside. Rambrandt light created a warm and sacred environment. That trip was well worthwhile.

3. Masters

Le Corbusier, Luis Barragan etc.

Corbusier, with no doubt, influenced all contemporary designers. Luis Barragan interpreted perfectly the relations between architecture and nature, and sky, and human being. His design is simple and authentic, embracing bold colours. He made me realized that interior architecture requires great exterior effort. An inspiring space shall be the best evidence of the perfect combination of human, space, light and nature. 

4. Clients

An entrepreneur and an artist, I don't know between them what to learn and what to talk. An entrepreneur learns to be an artist? Very likely all employees will run away. Or an artist learns to be tolerant, to be charm or to be emotionally disguised?  Very likely nothing will ever come out of his/her creativity.

5. Traditional Education

So much I would like to talk about our intolerable education. Only by looking at our graduates, it's not hard to tell what today's education has achieved. Every year, these youngsters of promise are sent into the society by their classysily built colleges and universities, with no major, no skills, and no emotion. The thresholds and fees of some schools are set so high that only rich kids can afford to go. Others might have to sell out everything the family has for it. Then these kids start to enjoy the brilliant university life, with random relationships, endless online chat and exclusive care for entertainment industry. Dreaming of being their own bosses after one year work experience, they ask for sponsorship from their grey-haired parents who believe in them unconditionally. With barely any knowledge and experiences, career end up failing before they even realize. This is the outcome of our education.

Chinese education, why don't you teach these kids about persistence, about personality charm, about bottom line of basic morality and about love? Why the more educated they are, the colder they become, the worse their EQ gets, and the lower their virtue is? Why?

When it comes to our design education, things only get worse. It is supposed to groom divergent thinking on the basis of solid knowledge and skills, rather than nonstop plagiarizing and imitating. Earlier years of education at least brought up some limner. What about now? Even what teachers care nowadays is no longer to teach knowledge and skills. A generation and a generation of computer kids sent to this society, does computer help with culture and art? We cannot Wechat out some talents in a blink. This society is not a factory and the outcome of our education shouldn’t be standard products.

Never mind. Today's universities have turned into entertainment radio stations. Professors have become stars who are hungry for fame and money more than anything. Just forget about it!

6. Other approaches of learning

Learn from nature and search for inspiration in nature. We no longer intend to step outside our houses. Instead, all updated information and material are from internet. They are in face more poison than nutrient. Idea will come to us after more reading, more walk in nature, more observing. All the brilliant designers on magazines learn from nature.
