堅持對品質的信念，實踐建築的本質

Adhere to a Belief in Quality, Practice the Essence of Architecture

Q. 可以跟我們分享直向建築的核心理念嗎？您如何將這種理念傳達給團隊，並轉化在設計上？

Q: Could you share with us the core philosophy of Vector Architects? How do you communicate this philosophy to the team and translate it into design?

A. 直向最基本的理念，是很真誠的面對建築相關議題，包含社會、環境和文化；但解決問題的同時又不是以教條、機械的方式面對，因為空間有感化人的力量，所以我很看重的第二個層面，是從問題出發，最終在解決問題的那瞬間，能感動建築中的人。

A. The fundamental philosophy of Vector Architects is to approach architectural issues with sincerity, encompassing social, environmental, and cultural aspects. However, while addressing problems, we avoid adopting dogmatic or mechanistic approaches. Recognizing the transformative power of space, I emphasize another crucial aspect: starting from the core problem and ultimately, at the moment of solving it, being able to evoke emotions in those experiencing the architecture.

團隊要以共同理念實踐設計是漫長的過程，因為事務所是圍繞著我的設計思路而展開，這三、四十位年輕的建築師原本有各自的學習路徑、對建築有不同的看法，所以是非常需要共同在同一個方向上注入能量。例如：我們非常重視施工品質，每個案子都會派駐地建築師過去，這樣的過程他們可以慢慢體會到直向對於品質細膩的要求和精準拿捏，這對年輕建築師來說就是日常鍛鍊，因為建築師除了有創作的想像力、衝動和願望外，還要耐得住日常瑣事的韌性。

Instilling a shared philosophy within the team to practice design is a lengthy process. As the firm revolves around my design thinking, it requires injecting energy into a group of thirty to forty young architects who originally had diverse learning paths and different perspectives on architecture. For instance, we place significant emphasis on construction quality. In every project, we deploy on-site architects so they can gradually appreciate Vector Architects' meticulous requirements for quality and precision. This serves as daily training for young architects because, besides possessing creative imagination, impulse, and aspirations, architects also need the resilience to handle everyday trivialities.
