New architecture school aims to change "undervalued and marginalised" profession 14 April 2015 新的建筑学院旨在改变 “被轻视的和边缘化的”职业 2015年4月14日

Interview: architectural education is too expensive and too lengthy while the profession is underpaid and under-appreciated, according to the head of a new school due to open in London later this year. Dezeen spoke to London School of Architecture's Will Hunter about his plans to overhaul the way architecture is taught. 采访:建筑学教育既昂贵又费时，然而建筑师这个职业却低薪不讨好。这是今年晚些时候将于伦敦成立的一所新学校的领导人的观点。Dezeen与伦敦建筑学院的威尔·亨特聊他关于重新审视建筑学教育的计划。
"Today British architects are undervalued as they have been marginalised in the design and construction process," said Hunter, 34, whose new school opens at the Design Museum in London in September. “随着在设计和施工过程中逐渐被边缘化，今天英国的建筑师们被轻视了，”34岁的亨特这样说道。他的新学校将于九月份在伦敦的设计博物馆开张。
"The worrying thing is not only the high tuition fees but the low salary expectations," he added. "The interest on tuition fee debt vastly outstrips salary increases for a typical 30-year career as an architect. 'Enter the architectural profession and forever be in debt' is not a great recruitment message." “令人担忧的不仅是高昂的学费，还有低薪资预期，”他补充道。“学费债务的利息远远高出一个典型的30年建筑师职业生涯的薪资增长。‘踏入建筑行业，从此债不离身’可不是什么好的招聘启事。”
Students at the London School of Architecture will work part-time for one of 40 architecture studios in their first year. The firms will pay a salary high enough to cover the fees for the school's diploma programme, making the two-year course "cost-neutral" to students. 伦敦建筑学院的学生们第一年会在40个工作室中的一个里做兼职。这些公司将会付给他们足够高的报酬来支付学校文聘课程的学费，让这两年的课程对学生来说是“零成本”。
"We've set up the London School of Architecture to bring academia and practice closer together in order to strengthen both," said Hunter. "The practices that we've spoken to see this as an opportunity to engage in ideas that they can't explore in commissioned projects." “我们已经在伦敦建筑学院的设立中把理论与实践结合起来以事半功倍，”亨特说。“我们把谈过的这种实践看做一种机遇，能激发出人们在传统课程中无法触及的灵感。”
The Design Museum building in Shad Thames will host the school for its first year 位于沙德泰晤士的设计博物馆将成为学院头年的驻地。
Hunter was formerly executive editor of monthly British magazine Architectural Review (AR) and a tutor at the Royal College of Art. He decided to found the school following a positive response to an article he wrote for the AR in 2012, calling for a new approach to education. 亨特曾是英国月刊《建筑评论》（AR）的主编和皇家艺术学院导师。他决定创建这所学校来积极回应自己于2012年为AR写的一篇文章，在那篇文章中他呼吁教育革新。
"I started to think about a new model for architectural education in 2012 when the government raised the tuition fee cap to ￡9,000 per year," he explained. "We want architectural education to be empowering and accessible." “当2012年政府将学费上限提高到每年9000英镑时，我开始思考一种新的建筑学教育模型，”他解释道。“我们想要建筑学教育更加自主和亲民。”
Among the London architecture studios that have signed up to be part of the programme are Grimshaw, DSDHA, Carmody Groarke, Duggan Morris and Haworth Tompkins, winners of the 2014 Stirling Prize. 已经签约参与该计划的伦敦建筑事务所有 Grimshaw、DSDHA、 Carmody Groarke,、Duggan Morris and和Haworth Tompkins，2014年斯特林奖得主。
