北京乎

胡适，周作人，朱自清，林语堂等

简介 

Description

这里入选作品的七十四位作家，和他们的一百二十一篇文章，为一九一九至一九四九这三十年间的北平的人情，往事，历史作了侧面的描述。在那个波澜的历史时期，这些文字平和，优雅，冷静，仿佛进入与传统历史论述平行的另一个时空。

The seventy-four writers selected for the works in this book, and their 121 essays, provide a profile of the relationship, past, and history of Peking during the 30 years from 1919 to 1949. In that turbulent historical period, these words were peaceful, elegant, and calm, as if entering another time and space parallel to traditional historical discourse.

Reason for Recommendation 

第一本推荐这个书，实在是因为感情使然。我大学毕业即将离开南京，同学赠送了我这套在老书店淘来的三联书店竖排版的《北京乎》。我没有在北京长待过，但这本书，让我建立起了对远方陌生城市的亲切感，对新生活的探索欲。今日写推荐，重新拿起，更感手不释卷。

这本书里写的北平的生活，正是在街巷，海子，园子里的，第一视角的生活。现在我们塑造城市的空间，也正是要跳出宏大的视角，参与到空间中的情感中去。《北京乎北京乎》是绝好的时代城市切片，那里也许有我们想寻找的东西。

The first recommendation of this book is really because of feelings. I was about to leave Nanjing after graduating from university, and my classmate gave me this set of "Beijing Hu" which He found in the old bookstore in the vertical layout of the Sanlian Bookstore. I haven't stayed in Beijing for a long time, but this book has allowed me to build up a sense of intimacy with distant strange cities and a desire to explore new life. Write a recommendation today, pick it up again, and feel more satisfied.

The life in Peking, from the first perspective, described in this book is the life in the streets, in the sea, in the garden. Now that we are shaping the space of the city, it is precisely to jump out of the grand perspective and participate in the emotions of the space.

城市发展史

芒福德

简介 
Description

美国著名的城市理论家、社会哲学家刘易斯·芒福德的重要理论著作之一，他从社会，宗教，文化，技术水平等角度系统地阐述了西方城市的起源和发展，展望了远景。

One of the important theoretical works of Lewis Mumford, a well-known urban theorist and social philosopher in the United States, he systematically explained the origin and development of Western cities from the perspectives of society, religion, culture, and technology, and looked forward to the future.

推荐理由

Reason for Recommendation 

作者著成此书的年代，大致是上世纪50年代末60年代初。整个世界正被笼罩在冷战的阴影之下，百废待兴。如果说上一本书一个波澜时代的切片，这本书试图帮助我们建立起城市演变过程的整个完整架构。作者串联起的整个框架，我理解就是城市的人文精神。罗马时代穷奢极欲的贵族；中世纪的混乱而生机；巴洛克时代的权力炫耀；焦炭城时代的环境污染及精神污染，及至当代的问题。

每个时代都是一个大时代，所以，虽然是宏篇巨著，读起来需花费相当时间，但每及相关内容，总为书中内容的当代性而惊叹。

读此书，虽然是“史”，但却帮助我对认知城市和社会的未来有了一些更多的思考。在这众人焦虑的时代，至少为我自己提供了一些判断事务的角度。

The author wrote this book in the late 1950s and early 1960s. The entire world is being shrouded in the shadow of the Cold War, waiting to be revived. If the last book is a slice of a wave of times, this book tries to help us establish the entire structure of the evolution of the city. I understand that the whole framework of the author is the humanistic spirit of the city. The extravagant nobles in the Roman era; the chaos and vitality of the Middle Ages; the show-off of power in the Baroque era; the environmental and spiritual pollution in the Coketown era, as well as contemporary problems.

Every era is a great time. Therefore, although it is a great book, it takes a considerable amount of time to read, but every relevant content is always amazed me by the contemporary content of the book.

Reading this book, although it is about the history, but it helped me to have some more thinking about the future of the city and society. In this age of anxiety, at least I have provided myself with some angles for judging affairs.

华夏意匠：中国古典建筑设计原理分析

李允鉌

简介 
Description

李允鉌多年研究中国建筑设计传统、实地考察东西方建筑，验证了中国古代存在具有中国民族与地理环境特色的建筑与规划理论，其中许多设计思想与技法属中国独有或首创，在世界都居于领先地位；进而充分肯定了中国古典建筑设计理念是中国悠久历史文化的结晶，也是世界建筑文化艺术瑰宝。

Li Yunxun has studied the design traditions of Chinese architecture for many years and made field trips to Eastern and Western architecture, which verified the existence of architectural and planning theories with Chinese ethnic and geographic environment characteristics in ancient China. Many of these design ideas and techniques are unique or pioneered in China, and are in a leading position in the world. Furthermore, it fully affirmed that the Chinese classical architectural design concept is the crystallization of China's long history and culture, and it is also a treasure of the world's architectural culture and art.

推荐理由

Reason for Recommendation 

求学时期，对中国古建筑的美没有太直观的体验，教科书的内容更偏向讲知识点，整个中建史的讲授也基本贴合断代史的方式。这样的结果是多数体系化的问题是被割裂的，头脑中是对知识的片段记忆，没有连续的认知，更谈不上热爱。

我认为本书最有意思的是在于作者作为一个在中国接受建筑教育，在全国及世界都有实践经验的建筑师在提供自己的认知方法论。基于工作背景，他的讲述里当然包括了中西比较。这些比较，不光是技术层面的，还有社会及公共传统。

当把建筑放到整个社会中去时，整个中国建筑史就变得特别有意思，赋予情趣和生活的智慧。让人为自己是这个悠久文化的一员而自豪。

When I was studying, I did not have a very intuitive experience of the beauty of ancient Chinese architecture. The content of the textbooks was more focused on knowledge concept, and the teaching of the history of China Construction also basically fits the way of dating history. The result of this is that most of the systemic problems are fragmented, and there are fragments of knowledge in the mind. Without continuous cognition, let alone love.

I think the most interesting thing about this book is that the author, as an architect who has received architectural education in China and has practical experience around the world, is providing his own cognitive methodology. Based on his work background, his narration certainly includes a comparison between China and the West. These comparisons are not only on the technical level, but also on the social and public traditions.

When the architecture is placed in the entire society, the entire history of Chinese architecture becomes particularly interesting, giving it fun and wisdom in life. Make people proud of being a member of this long-standing culture.

建筑师的20岁

王静 / 王建国 / 费移山

简介 
Description

在当今建筑学领域，伦佐·皮亚诺、让·努维尔、理卡多·雷可瑞塔、弗兰克·盖里，贝聿铭，多米尼克·佩罗的大名，可谓无人不知，大家对他们的建筑作品也都耳熟能详，但是他们作为一位建筑师的成长道路却鲜有人知。1998年，时任东京大学教授的日本著名建筑师安藤忠雄邀请了当今世界上这六位炙手可热的建筑大师到东京大学和师生们进行面对面的交流，畅谈他们年轻时的求学生涯和从业经历，《建筑师的20岁》这本书即是当时的访谈内容记录。

Renzo Piano, Jean Nouvel, Ricardo Recorita, Frank Gehry, I.M. Pei, Dominique Perrault are known to everyone in today’s field of architecture. Everyone is familiar with their architectural works, but few people know how they grew up as an architect. In 1998, the famous Japanese architect Tadao Ando, who was a professor at the University of Tokyo at the time, invited these six popular architects in the world today to the University of Tokyo for face-to-face exchanges with teachers and students, and talked about their academic career and work experience when they were younger. Theis book is the record of the interview at that time.

推荐理由 

Reason for Recommendation 

写推荐的这两天即将高考，很多人都将迎来自己的20岁。20岁的时候，我无甚特别，迷茫是年轻时永远的课题，所以和周围的同学一样，我读了这本书，希望能让自己看到一些通向建筑师成功的路径。

现在重翻，完全是另一副心境。里面的大师都让人耳熟能详，火了几十年。但是，从业这些年，我逐渐意识到，面对那些焦虑的20岁的眼神，其实大师们想说的，可能是, 成为建筑大师当然好，成为一个普通建筑师也可以，再不行就只是个从业人员也不错，实在什么都不想，就躺平，也没关系。最重要的，是我们让自己感受到所做事情的乐趣，至于做什么，都没有关系的。

In the two days I wrote the recommendation, the college entrance examination is coming soon, and many people will usher in their 20s. When I was 20 years old, I was nothing special. Confusion was an eternal topic when I was young. So, like my classmates around me, I read this book, hoping to show myself some paths to the success of architects.

It's totally another state of mind to reread now. The masters inside are familiar to everyone, and they have been popular for decades. However, after working in the industry over the years, I have gradually realized that facing those anxious 20-year-old eyes, what the masters actually want to say is that it is of course good to be a master architect, and it is also okay to be an ordinary architect. The practitioners are also good, and it doesn’t matter if you just lie flat if you don’t really want to do anything. The most important thing is that we let ourselves feel the joy of what we do. It doesn't matter what we do.

看不见的城市

伊塔洛·卡尔维诺

简介 
Description

《看不见的城市》是意大利作家伊塔洛·卡尔维诺创作的中篇小说。该小说中的55个城市故事，显示了城市的秘密，城市的真正魅力在于它是柔软的，它吸纳众多，无所不包，始终是希望的体现，又是郁积负罪感的源泉。《看不见的城市》小说的历史背景带出真实存在过的两座城市：忽必烈帝国的都城和马可·波罗的家乡威尼斯。这两座城市的对峙显示了城市作为地理空间、社会空间和文化空间不同的价值。

This book is a novella written by Italian writer Italo Calvino. The 55 city stories in the novel show the secrets of the city. The true charm of the city is that it is soft, it absorbs many and its all-encompassing, and is always the embodiment of hope and the source of accumulated guilt. The historical background of the novel brings out two cities that actually existed: the capital of the Kublai empire and the Venice, hometown of Marco Polo. The confrontation between the two cities shows the different values of the city as a geographical space, a social space, and a cultural space.

推荐理由 

Reason for Recommendation 

空间是看不见的，城市也是看不见的，它本身就是眼睛。

建筑师擅长于创造物化的片段，这本书带我去到数不清的美丽幻境，他是城市和空间的无穷延伸处。

Space is invisible, and the city is also invisible. It is the eye itself. Architects are good at creating materialized fragments. This book takes me to countless beautiful illusions. He is an endless extension of cities and spaces.

刘擎西方现代思想讲义

刘擎

简介

Description 

人生的意义，人们向往的自由和公平的价值，人类文明的复杂冲突与未来趋势……这些让你困惑的大小问题，过去也困扰过韦伯、尼采、萨特等杰出的头脑。他们尽最大努力做出阐释，为后人提供了宝贵的思想标识。在这部讲义里，刘擎介绍了现代视域下的19位思想大家，广泛而系统地讨论工具理性的利弊，如何面对虚无主义和消费主义对人的异化，财富分配的公平正义和全球化等议题。思想不惑，精神明亮。你将在这19位大家的生平故事中，理解他们建构思想大厦的地基与框架。你还会在思想大厦之上，直面个人生活和社会公共领域的诸多难题，收获审慎而真诚的回答。

The meaning of life, the value of freedom and fairness that people yearn for, the complex conflicts and future trends of human civilization...These many problems that puzzle you have also plagued outstanding minds such as Weber, Nietzsche, and Sartre in the past. They tried their best to explain and provided valuable thought signs for future generations. In this lecture, Liu Qing introduced 19 thought masters from the modern perspective, extensively and systematically discussing the pros and cons of tool rationality. How to deal with the alienation of nihilism and consumerism, the fairness and justice of wealth distribution, and other issues like globalization. The mind is free from doubts, the spirit is clear. In the life stories of these 19 architects, you will understand the foundation and framework of thoughts. You will also face many problems in your personal life and the public sphere directly on the building of thoughts, and you will get prudent and sincere answers.

推荐理由

Reason for Recommendation 

最近在读。在浩瀚晦涩的思想丛书中，这本书犹如提线人，帮你找到线头，切入那个广袤的宇宙。于建筑师来说，除了知识体系，价值体系的梳理更如人生灯塔，引领来路。

Reading recently. In the vast and obscure series of thoughts, this book is like an informant, helping you find the thread and cut into the vast universe. For architects, apart from the knowledge system, the combing of the value system is more like a beacon of life, leading the way you come.

中国哲学简史

冯友兰

简介 
Description

《中国哲学简史》是一本享誉中外、具有世界影响的中国哲学名著，也是一部中国学术的超级畅销书。它是根据一代哲人冯友兰在美国的讲稿整理而成的，并且在世界各国广泛流传。《中国哲学简史》这个译本是英文版流传40年后，在冯友兰的指导下由他的学生涂又光翻译的。这是唯一一部由冯友兰亲自核定的译本，也是最权威的译本。

This book is a masterpiece of Chinese philosophy that is well-known at home and abroad and has global influence. It is also a super bestseller in Chinese academics. It is compiled based on the speeches of a generation of philosopher Feng Youlan in the United States, and it is widely circulated in various countries around the world. This version was translated by one of Feng's students, Tu Youguang, under the guidance of Feng Youlan, after the English version had circulated for 40 years. This is the only translation approved by Feng Youlan himself, and it is also the most authoritative version.

推荐理由

Reason for Recommendation 

凡对中国文化感兴趣的人，更不必提身为其中一员，不能错过的书，它是你进入中国文化的捷径和地图。

这本书是冯友兰的读书笔记，提纲挈领地表达了他对中国文化和中国哲人的理解。读此书，常有豁然开朗之感。中国人小时候的常问母亲自己从哪里来，读这个书，也回答自己，我为什么这么思考。与上本西方现代思想讲义两相比较阅读，对认识方法和目的的异同，更让人如获至宝。

Those who are interested in Chinese culture not to mention being one of them. It is a book that you cannot miss. There is a shortcut and a map for you to enter Chinese culture.

This book is Feng Youlan's reading notes. It outlines and expresses his understanding of Chinese culture and philosophers. Reading this book, there is often a sense of sudden enlightenment. When Chinese are young, they often ask their mothers where they come from. Read this book and also ask myself why I think this way. Comparing the reading with the previous lectures on modern Western thoughts, the similarities and differences in the methods and purposes of understanding are even more treasured.

河童旅行素描本

[日] 妹尾河童

简介 
Description

妹尾河童，日本当代具代表性的舞台设计家，这本书是他的游记，生活记录，人生呓语。

Kappa Senô is a representative contemporary stage designer in Japan. This book is his travel notes, life records, and life babbles.

推荐理由

Reason for Recommendation 

一切皆从细处入手，河童是恋物癖。建筑师里我想起的就是卡洛斯卡帕了。河童白描了各种生活物品，就算是遗物，也写得充满生机；妹尾河童沉迷细节，自己最得意的是布里昂家族墓园。生和死这样的人生大命题，在恋物癖身上，好像化解了。这也是建筑师，设计师这个职业，能引领我们自己沉迷其中的原因吧。生活真是值得热爱的！

Everything starts from the details. Kappa is a fetish. It reminds me of Carlos Capa among the architects. Kappa painted all kinds of living objects, even if they were relics, they were full of life. Kappa Senô is obsessed with details, and he is most proud of the Leone family cemetery. The big proposition of life and death seems to be resolved in fetishism. This is also the reason why the profession of architects and designers can lead us to indulge in it. Life is really worth loving!
