为什么建筑师要把他们的能力和创造力限制在建筑物和房间里?

更近的观察表明，他们中的许多人很活跃，他们也是物品的创造者——通常是在他们自己的建筑物的背景下的家具，而不是所有类型的产品，独立于他们的建筑项目。甚至还有建筑师，他们的产品设计比他们的建筑更出名，比如菲利普•斯塔克，一位设计场景明星。本书展示了架构师如何将他们的架构风格转换为产品设计，或者修改它以适应手边的任务。观察一个参数结构中的拱形墙是如何影响一双鞋的设计，或者一个极简主义的建筑卷积如何在枝形吊灯中得到呼应，这是一件很有趣的事情。这里50个例子展示了当代建筑设计师在产品设计领域的**多样性，并展示了建筑艺术如何在其他创造性领域产生新的视角。

Why should architects restrict their abilities and creative faculties to buildings and rooms? A closer look reveals that many of them are also active as creators of objects – often of furniture in the context of their own buildings but also of products of all types, independent of their archi - tectural projects. There are even architects who are better known for their product design than for their buildings, such as Philippe Starck for example, a star of the design scene. This book shows how architects translate their architec - tural style into product design or modify it to suit the task at hand. It is fascinating to observe how the vaulted walls in a piece of parametric architecture influence the design of a pair of shoes or how a minimalist building convolu - tion is echoed in a chandelier. The 50 examples presented here convey the remarkable diversity of contemporary architects in the world of product design and reveal how the art of architecture can generate new perspectives in other creative fields.
