As a designer, we are constantly learning and trying new things.Architects are wired to learn, and eager to know more; hoping the architectural travelling continue to boost our design inspiration.Every trip is a pilgrimage, every walk is a transcendence.For me, travel is not about the movement of the body, it is about feeling and thinking.Once an architect experiences a space, the drawings and photos we have seen before cannot express the shock of that three-dimensional space at all.All the senses are mobilised, and prior knowledge is awakened.This feeling is probably difficult for ordinary tourists to experience.
Every architect has his unique architectural philosophy and aesthetic thinking, all representing a building type and style, with its context.For aspiring architects, they must understand what it is to observe the intricacies of a work, which might easily get overlooked if we try and explore the same through a video or some photographs.
Through architectural travel, I have given myself a chance to “walk thousands of miles” and a wonderful life experience of gathering energy and sharing the spirit of adventure.The world is big, and before we go all over her; a lot of beauty is still waiting for us quietly.And the large spaces or the ingeniously designed warm little corners that are seen in the travels – often, these inadvertent glimpses are all the reasons for architectural travel.
