Interview with Yung Ho Chang
what advice would you give to the young?
"I believe architecture is something more down to earth, and ultimately relates to how people live.
although I've done my share in some way, I don't think architects can just fly around and build structures anywhere,
but rather they need to anchor themselves in one place.
for example, you say italian architects can still be the marco polos of today, and come to beijing and stay for a year…
and then there are actually italian architects here, working and so on…
but I'm suspicious of global practice. they may produce a very glorious kind of architecture,
but it's not architecture that would belong somewhere. that being said, I think jet setters is very much a result of evolution.
when I was younger, I remember I was so envious seeing the stars of my days talking about doing little sketches
on their flights between locations, and that was the time for the architect to be creative. now I would say what a lousy idea.
you should really sit in your studio and work with materials and with your team."
