1 针对刚落成的阿里巴巴北京朝阳科技园，有哪些设计亮点？工程进度、施工细节等方面，落地实施遇到了哪些难点？

Can you share with us some design highlights of the recently completed Alibaba Beijing Chaoyang Science & Technology Park? How did you and your team address some of the challenges in terms of project scheduling and details?

艾瑞克·菲利普斯：我们与阿里巴巴的合作关系可以追溯到十多年前，包括在中国国内多个城市的若干项目。阿里巴巴一直将其办公开发项目视作为员工提供卓越的发展和创新环境的契机。

Eric: Our relationship with Alibaba dates back to over a decade and includes multiple projects in numerous cities across mainland China. Alibaba consistently looks to their office developments as an opportunity to provide exceptional environments for their staff to thrive and innovate.

在北京，我们面临的挑战是设计一个大型的、相互连接的园区设施，它横跨三个独立的地块，每个地块都被多车道的城市道路分割开来。凭借我们的合作历史以及对阿里巴巴文化的了解，我们深知必须注重人与人之间的联系，并提供多样化的工作环境。通过运用这些知识，以及对北京环境因素的特别关注，我们的设计理念是以一系列动态中庭为中心，将园区内的多栋建筑及其各自的业务单元连接起来，同时提供 “能量中心”，激活并带动阿里巴巴崇尚协作创新的业务文化。

In Beijing, we were faced with the challenge to design a very large, interconnected campus facility that spanned across three separate parcels of land, individually divided by multilane city streets. Leveraging our history and our knowledge of Alibaba culture, we knew it was important to focus on connecting people and providing diverse workplace environments. Using this knowledge and focusing specifically on the unique environmental factors in Beijing, our ideas centered on a series of dynamic atriums to link multiple buildings and their respective business units across the campus, while also providing “centers of energy” that would activate and animate Alibaba’s business culture of collaboration and innovation. 

在设计深化和施工阶段，中庭上方的大型天窗其实是项目当中最复杂的设计元素。令我们欣喜的是，所有的设计问题，如玻璃模块、外部遮阳、结构轮廓和天窗维护系统，最终都被整合成了一个综合解决方案，使中庭得以在一年四季顺利开展各种活动。 

The large skylights above these atriums were the most complicated design elements during detail design and construction phases. We are happy that all the design issues such as glass module, external shading, structure profile, and skylight maintenance system finally come into one comprehensive solution which allows atrium activities happening in all seasons.

如今，园区建筑已经投入使用，阿里巴巴团队正在以其独有的方式激活这些空间。能看到设计创意一步步实现愿景并化为现实，这让我们倍感欣慰。在 NBBJ，我们竭力确保我们的建筑不仅拥有美感，还能为推动企业蓬勃发展和提升人的绩效表现提供一个发展框架，这一点也是同样重要的。

Now that the buildings are open and the Alibaba teams are activating the spaces in unique ways, we feel good about how our ideas are fulfilling a design vision. At NBBJ, we stive to ensure that our buildings are not only beautiful but just as important, they provide a framework for business and human performance to thrive.

2 阿里巴巴北京朝阳科技园由NBBJ与北京建院设计联合体共同完成，请谈谈与北京建院的合作过程。

The Alibaba Beijing Chaoyang Science & Technology Park witnessed a joint collaboration between NBBJ and BIAD. Can you tell us how the working experience was like with this partnership? 

艾瑞克·菲利普斯：与我们和阿里巴巴的关系类似，我们与北京建院的合作关系同样可以追溯到十多年前的多个办公楼开发项目上。2008 年，我第一次来到中国，首个项目就是微软位于北京的研发中心。北京建院与我们在该项目上的合作取得了巨大成功。

Eric: Similar to our relationship with Alibaba, our relationship with BIAD dates back over a decade with multiple office development projects. When I first moved to China in 2008, one of my first projects was the Microsoft R&D facility in Beijing. BIAD collaborated with us on that project with great success. 

在阿里巴巴北京朝阳科技园项目的设计阶段，北京建院的设计团队一如既往地致力于细节执行、政府报批以及总体施工成本控制等诸多方面。如今阿里巴巴北京朝阳科技园项目已经竣工并投入使用，我可以坦诚地说，北京建院始终都在提供交付高品质项目所需的专业技能和本地知识，并以此匹配项目的最佳规模及进度。 

During Alibaba Beijing design phases, BIAD as usual diligently worked on detail executions, government expert reviews as well as overall construction cost control. Today, after completing Alibaba Beijing, I can say that BIAD consistently provides the expertise and local knowledge required to deliver quality at an optimal size and speed.

3 NBBJ与中国科技类公司长期开展深度合作，近期合作的项目包括腾讯总部滨海大厦、腾讯大铲湾城市规划、阿里巴巴西溪园区四期、vivo智能手机总部等。与谷歌、亚马逊等美国公司相比，中国的科技类公司对总部建筑的设计需求有什么不同？

We know that NBBJ has a long working relationship with technology companies in China. Some recent NBBJ projects in China in this field include Tencent Headquarters Seafront Towers, Tencent DCW Net City, Alibaba Xixi Campus Phase 4, and vivo Smartphone Headquarters. Compared with working with American counterparts like Google and Amazon, what are the differences you can see when designing a headquarters project in China? Are there any design needs that differ the China-based technology companies from the others?

艾瑞克·菲利普斯：我刚搬到中国时，企业组织及其领导团队当时都希望了解美国的情况，然后讨论如何将由此总结出来的理念融入到他们自身的项目中去。如今，我们看到中国的顶级科技公司不再从美国寻找灵感，而是为自己的团队、文化和业务成功界定明确的期望。与中国的许多事情一样，这种思维方式的演变也发生得很快，能与阿里巴巴、腾讯等客户共同参与这种发展演变，我感到非常荣幸。

Eric: When I first moved to China, there was a consistent desire from corporations and their leadership groups to understand what was happening in the US and to then discuss how those ideas might be integrated into their project. Today, we see China’s top tech companies no longer looking to the US for inspiration but rather defining clear expectations for their teams, their culture and their business success. This evolution in thinking, like many things in China, happened fast and it was a special privilege to be a part of that evolution with clients like Alibaba, Tencent and many others. 

除了东西方文化的影响，我认为中国最独特的地方在于设计项目的规模和速度。在美国，有许多公司为科技企业类客户提供设计服务，但面对中国发展所需的项目规模和速度，很少有公司具备相匹配的设计专长和技能。NBBJ的专家团队长期投身于中国的实践工作，并在这个过程中获得了不断的发展壮大，有能力预见并满足这方面的关键要求。

Thinking beyond the East and West influences, I would say the most unique aspect in China is the scale and speed of design projects. While there are many firms in the US who provide design services to corporate tech clients, there are very few firms who have the expertise and skills to design at the scale and speed required in China. Our team of experts at NBBJ, throughout our long history of work in China, has grown to anticipate and respond to these critical requirements. 

在不降低创意质量和成果质量的前提下交付优秀的项目，是我们在中国取得成功的关键。与中国最大的科技公司合作设计项目，为我们提供了在这一环境中茁壮成长的独特途径。就我个人而言，能为NBBJ的成功以及客户的成功发挥作用，我深感自豪。

Delivering great projects without losing the quality of ideas or the quality of the outcome is critical to our legacy in China. Designing projects with China’s biggest technology companies provide us a unique lane to thrive in this environment. For me personally, I am proud to play a role in NBBJ’s success as well as the success of our clients.

您在提问中谈到的这些项目都是这种思维演变方面的好例子。接下来，我可以围绕腾讯的两个案例来深入谈一谈。

The projects you mentioned are all great examples on the evolution in thinking. I’ll focus on the Tencent ones though. 

腾讯大铲湾网络城市的规模和形状与曼哈顿中城区大致相当，设计构想是将其打造成为中国首个集办公、住宅、公共娱乐场所、公园和滨水区于一体的互连互通的区域。世界各地的现代城市都是围绕汽车而非人来组织的。但这座网络城市则与众不同。它将人和环境的需求放在汽车之上，形成了一个相互连接的有机生态系统，为未来城市的发展铺平了道路。

At roughly the size and shape of Midtown Manhattan, the Tencent DCW Net City is envisioned to be China’s first interconnected district with office buildings, residential areas as well as public entertainment venues, parks and a waterfront. Modern cities around the world are organized around automobiles, not people. But Tencent Net City is different. It places the needs of people and the environment before cars, resulting in an interconnected, organic ecosystem that paves the way for future cities. 

正如您所看到的，我们的规划和设计并非着眼于西方——我们的理念是为共同的未来创造崭新的、鼓舞人心的环境。

As you can see, we are not planning and designing to look at the West—our ethos is about creating new and inspiring environments for a shared future.

这方面的另一个例子是腾讯总部海滨大厦。该设计重新规划构想了未来摩天楼的外观与功能，不仅面向腾讯员工，也面向世界各地的办公群体。

Another example in this vein is the Tencent Headquarters Seafront Towers. The design re-envisions what the future skyscraper could look like and how it could function, not just for Tencent employees, but for workers everywhere. 

设计理念最大限度地利用狭小的城市用地，将一幢高层建筑分成两幢塔楼，一幢 50 层，另一幢 39 层，并通过三条水平 “天街 ”或连桥将它们连接起来。这些连桥分别代表着文化、健康和知识，以满足客户的特定需求，并将社区空间、绿地及健身配套等连接元素贯穿其中。  

Maximizing a tight urban site, the design concept splits a single high-rise into a pair of towers, one 50 stories and the other 39 stories, linking them together with three horizontal “skystreets” or links. These links represent culture, health and knowledge in response to specific client needs, and incorporate connective elements throughout, from community areas, green spaces and fitness amenities.

4 作为合伙人，您主持设计过很多不同类型的优秀项目，例如：阿里巴巴西溪园区四期、金地新华道、北外滩友邦国际大厦等等。有什么共通的设计经验可以分享吗？

As a Partner of NBBJ, you’ve led a variety of great projects, such as Alibaba Xixi Campus Phase 4, Gemdale Lane, North Bund AIA Tower, are there anything in common when designing those projects that can be helpful to inform and inspire other projects? 

艾瑞克·菲利普斯：在 NBBJ，我们致力于设计对生活产生积极影响的环境——“为美好生活而设计”。这一理念始终体现在我们的团队如何构想以健康生活、社区融合和可持续性为重点的设计成果之中。我们相信，建筑可以让人们变得健康快乐。我们相信，通过设计可以将社区联系起来。我们相信，设计决策，无论大小，都能创造可持续发展的未来。诸如此类的总体驱动力不仅有助于我们的全球团队充满凝聚力，还能让我们的客户通过由此打造的建筑环境创造持久的变化和影响。

Eric: At NBBJ, we are dedicated to designing environments that positively impact lives—“We design for life.” This idea is consistently manifested in how our teams envision design outcomes focused on health, community and sustainability. We believe buildings can make people healthy and happy. We believe communities are connected through design. We believe design decisions—both big and small—create a sustainable future. Overarching drivers such as these not only help our teams across the globe come together but they also enable our clients to create lasting change and impact through their built environments.

以阿里巴巴西溪园区四期项目为例。这个屡获殊荣的项目在规划和设计层面由大大小小的六边形单元体组成，目的是增强连通性。员工进入园区后，可以选择骑自行车或步行前往目的地。底层的共享空间提供了强有力的东西向连接，鼓励员工在庭院之间穿行移动。每个工位距离室外绿地（包括屋顶花园和露台）的距离都不超过 60 秒。

Take the Alibaba Xixi Campus Phase 4 as an example. The award-winning project is comprised of big and small hexagon-shaped cells in the planning and design to enhance connectivity. After entering the campus, employees can choose to bike or walk to their destinations. Shared spaces on the ground floor provide strong east and west connections to encourage employee moving between courtyards. Each workstation is 60 seconds or less from outdoor green spaces, including rooftop gardens and terraces.  

为了对环境负责，园区的设计采用了多种可持续发展策略，如雨水收集、自然采光、自然通风、外立面机械遮阳等。 这些策略都有助于营造更健康的工作环境，同时也有助于我们的客户追求健康发展、社区融合和零碳未来。 

Being environmentally responsible, the campus is designed to adopt multiple sustainable strategies such as rain waiter collection, access to nature and daylight, natural ventilation, and mechanical façade shading from sunshine and glare. Each of these strategies contribute to a healthier working environment, and also help our client pursue health, community and a zero-carbon future.

5 如何看待甲方塑造标志性建筑的诉求？

How do you think of the type of requests from clients for building icons?

艾瑞克·菲利普斯：我们必须承认，“标志 ”一词可以有多种解释。对于客户要求项目具有标志性的需求，我们通常会从一系列问题入手，帮助客户了解为什么需要这样做。

Eric: It is very important to acknowledge that the word ‘icon’ can have many interpretations. Our response to client needs for the project to be iconic is usually to start with a series of questions that help us to understand why this is required. 

通过询问 “为什么”，我们将对话从传统的主观形式表述转变为基于目标的理解，即项目对公司的成长和成功轨迹意味着什么。一旦我们的讨论以项目如何增强组织的目标和使命为动力，我们就会迅速深入了解我们能够如何影响客户的成功。我认为，作为一名致力于为建筑环境塑造美感（艺术）和赋予性能（科学）的建筑师，必须深入了解客户的业务及其成功指标。只有通过这种理解，设计才能产生变革性和影响力。

By asking why, we shift the conversation from a traditionally subjective formal representation to a goal-based understanding of what the project means to the companies’ trajectory of growth and success. Once our discussions are fueled by how a project can empower the organization’s goals and mission, we move quickly into a deeper understanding of how we can impact the client’s success. I believe that as an architect who is dedicated to both the beauty (art) and the performance (science) of the built environment, it is imperative to understand my clients business and their success metrics at a deep level. It is only through this understanding that design can be transformative and impactful.

 

6 您负责设计的建筑建成后，是否会关注受众对建筑的评价？

When you complete a project, do you pay attention to what viewers say about it?

艾瑞克·菲利普斯：这是一个有趣的问题，尤其是在中国现代都市文化的大背景下。感谢您的提问。这个问题可能需要大量时间来详细讨论，我在这里可以简单说一下。简而言之，没错，我会倾听，然后评估、学习和成长。我觉得，作为在中国执业的外国人，学习的愿望和意愿尤为重要。建筑师的工作之一就是突破界限，提出具有启发性的问题。重要的一点是，我们要把想法推向有争议的地步。当你这样做时，难免会遭到批评。但如果我们不把想法推到别人质疑的地步，我们就没有充分发挥我们作为变革艺术家在城市社会中的角色作用。 

Eric: This is an interesting question, especially in the context of China’s modern urban culture. Thank you for asking. While this question could take substantial time to discuss in detail, I will keep it simple. The short answer is yes, I listen and then I evaluate, learn  and grow. I believe that the desire and willingness to learn is especially important as a foreigner practicing in China. A part of an architect’s job is to push boundaries and to ask provocative questions. It is important that we push ideas to a point of being controversial. When you do this, you will inevitably run into criticism. If we are not pushing ideas to a point where others question them, we are not fulling our role in urban society as artists of change.

 

7 材料运用方面，您看重建筑材料哪些要素？选材具体是怎样取舍的？

Regarding use of materials, which aspects do you usually focus on? What drives your decisions on material selection?

艾瑞克·菲利普斯：我们选择材料的出发点是致力于减少对环境的影响、提高使用群体的健康水平，并支持可持续发展。通过整合这些原则，我们的目标是建造出不仅实用美观，而且对环境负责、有益于社区发展的建筑。最近，当预制木结构建筑符合中国的建筑规范时，我们就开始引导客户采用预制木结构建筑。目前，中国的建筑规范只允许建造小型建筑，但我们乐观地认为，与美国和英国一样，这种建筑技术将来也会被用于建造大型建筑。 

Eric: Our decisions of material selection are driven by a commitment to reducing environmental impact, enhancing occupant health, and supporting sustainability. By integrating these principles, we aim to create buildings that are not only functional and beautiful but also environmentally responsible and beneficial to the communities they serve. Most recently, when it aligns within the China building code, we have focused on leading clients to build with prefabricated wood structures. Currently, the China building code will only allow small structures, but we are optimistic that like the US and the UK, the construction technique will be adopted for larger structures in the future.

8 NBBJ致力于与神经科学、社会及行为科学领域的学者合作，探索这些学科与建筑设计之间的交叉领域。近年来有哪些研究和实践成果？

NBBJ has been partnered with scientists in neuroscience, social and behavioral sciences to explore on how to inform architecture with science research findings. So is there any recent successful examples you want to share with us in this regard? 

艾瑞克·菲利普斯：NBBJ 与华盛顿大学医学院发育分子生物学家、《纽约时报》畅销书作家约翰 · 梅迪纳博士（Dr. John Medina）合作开展了一项研究资助计划。该计划旨在探索认知神经科学与建筑环境之间的联系。它旨在利用经过同行评议的大脑研究成果来提高组织绩效和人类体验，从而推动设计科学的发展。

Eric: NBBJ has a Fellowship Program with Dr. John Medina, a developmental molecular biologist at the University of Washington School of Medicine and a New York Times best-selling author. The fellowship explores the links between the cognitive neurosciences and the built environment. It seeks to advance the science of design by using peer-reviewed brain research to enhance organizational performance and the human experience.

在与约翰 · 梅迪纳博士多年的合作过程中，我们的全球设计团队逐渐意识到认知健康在设计中的重要意义，我们的项目也不断从该项目最新的研究成果中获益。 

Throughout our years of working with Dr. John Medina, our global design team has cultivated the significance of cognitive health in design, and our projects have continuously benefited from the latest research findings of this program. 

例如，最新成果之一是 “愉悦因子（Delight Factor）”——一种量化工作场所竞争实力的新指标。我们已经确定了执行功能、心理安全、创造力、团队功能和归属感等关键因素。然后，我们初步确定了建筑有助于实现这些关键绩效要素的四种方法。当它们被协调整合在一起时，就能对工作场所的愉悦因素——自然、日光、多样性和社交——进行有力的评估。位于美国华盛顿州贝尔维尤的 The Wellness Workplace园区就是一个很好的例子。 

For instance, one of the latest results is the “Delight Factor” —a new metric that quantifies the competitive strength of a workplace. We ‘ve identified critical factors for executive function, psychological safety, creativity, team function and sense of belonging. We then establish four preliminary ways that buildings contribute to achieving these key components of performance. When coordinated together, they offer a powerful evaluation of a workplace’s Delight Factors—nature, daylight, variety and socialization. The Wellness Workplace is a great example.

9 您个人在上海有12年的生活经历。十余年间，您对中国人的行为模式、海派地域文化、中国城市风貌变迁等相关话题，有哪些观察？

We learnt that you lived and worked in Shanghai for about 12 years. During this period, what’s your observations in the changes of Chinese people’s social behavior pattern, the local culture of Shanghai, and the cityscape in China in general?

艾瑞克·菲利普斯：在回答这个问题时，我想重点谈谈城市景观，因为它与我的个人爱好和 NBBJ 的主要业务直接相关。在上海生活期间，我有幸住在陆家嘴附近一座住宅楼的 46 层。我当时住在 100 米高度线以上，直接毗邻中国最重要的商业区之一，近旁即是黄浦江，这些都让我感觉到这是一座别具一格、催人奋进的城市。这是一个繁华的、不断发展的城市中心：在我的视线所及之处，高楼大厦耸立在地平线上，沿河开发了多个城市公园。这座城市的发展速度惊人，但更重要的是，它注重日常的城市体验，健康生活和社区融合都在这里体现得淋漓尽致。能够目睹这一转变，让我深受鼓舞，并将永远影响我对建筑和城市设计的看法。

Eric: There are so many things that I could note as an answer to this question. I will focus on the cityscape as it is directly related to my personal passions and NBBJ’s primary business. While in living in Shanghai, I had the benefit of living on the fourty-sixth floor of a residential tower near LuJiaZui. While living above the 100-meter height line, with direct proximity to one of China’s premier business district and the HuangPu River, my perspective on the city was unique and inspiring. It was a bustling, constantly evolving urban center: there were towers that rose up toward the horizon as far as I could see and multiple city parks developed along the river. The city grew at a staggering rate but more importantly there was a focus on daily urban experiences where health and community thrived. Watching this transformation was inspiring and will forever influence my perspective on architecture and urban design.

谈到上海这座城市，就不得不提到NBBJ所做的上海外滩项目，它体现了上海城市公园网络的演变。该项目是这座城市与 NBBJ 之间的特殊纽带。2008 年，我们对黄浦江西岸 1.8 公里长的林荫大道进行了总体规划。这项工作启动了新一轮上海外滩的建设，帮助上海外滩重焕生机，也助其成为了当今最受欢迎的旅游景点之一。通过我们的总体规划和城市设计策略，密集的城市网格与河滨公园系统之间的关系焕然一新。我们以提升步行体验为重点，将这座城市最古老的区域之一改造成了一个与社区连通、蓬勃发展的公共空间！

An NBBJ project that exemplifies the evolution of Shanghai’s city park network is the Shanghai Bund Project. The project serves as a very special connection between the city and NBBJ. In 2008, we master-planned the 1.8-kilometer-long boulevard along the west bank of the HuangPu River. This effort launched the next generation of the Shanghai Bund, helping to revitalize and reshape the riverfront into one of today’s most popular destinations. As a result of our masterplan and urban design strategies, there is a renewed relationship between the dense city grid and the riverside park system. With a focus on enhancing pedestrian experiences, we were able to transform one of the oldest parts of the city into a public space where community connections thrive!

10 目前，您关注建筑设计行业哪些新动态？对于AI、3D造型软件（如Rhino）的发展，对建筑设计有哪些促进和挑战？

Are there any new changes or movements you are currently seeing in the architecture industry? How do you think of the changes that AI and 3D modeling (such as Rhino) bring to the industry? 

艾瑞克·菲利普斯：设计和建筑行业虽然对前沿技术的适应较慢，但一直是一个不断变化的行业。设计工具的变化，如 Rhino 和人工智能，将继续成为我们在工作流程中利用的工具。

Eric: The design and construction industry, while slower to adapt cutting edge technologies, has always been an industry in constant change. Design tools change, like Rhino, and most recently AI, will continue to be tools that we leverage in our workflow. 

我想说的是，我个人对业内发展壮大预制工具及技术的行动最为兴奋。这些技术为减少建筑材料和工艺中的碳含量带来了更多机会。人工智能技术非常有趣，它挑战我们以不同的方式思考问题。然而，预制技术则能为我们的城市以及在城市里生活、工作、学习和娱乐的人们带来巨大而切实的好处。

I would say that I am personally the most excited about the movement in the industry to expand and develop prefabrication tools and techniques. These technologies provide substantially expanded opportunities to reduce the amount of carbon embodied in the materials and processes of construction. AI is interesting and challenges us to think differently. However, prefabrication techniques have the ability to have substantial and tangible benefits to our cities and the people who live, work, learn and play in them.

 

11 以您出差或旅行的经历体验，您个人欣赏哪座建筑的设计？

As a regular traveler for work and leisure, which architecture do you like most? What design features that make it the best one on your personal list?

艾瑞克·菲利普斯：就我个人而言，当我看到建筑和室内设计战略性地融合了亲生命设计及其哲学理念时，我感到既振奋，又深受启发。简单地说，“亲生命性”是人类与生俱来的、被大自然所吸引的倾向。为亲生命性而设计，就是要突破室内和室外的界限，特别注重让用户有更多机会接触大自然。目前，世界各地都在进行一些极具影响力的设计项目，这些项目以有力和鼓舞人心的方式，战略性地将自然融入到建筑环境当中。

Eric: Personally, I am very excited and inspired when I see architecture and interior design that strategically integrates biophilia and biophilic philosophies. Simply defined, biophilia is humanity’s innate tendency to be drawn to nature. To design for biophilia is to push the boundaries between indoor and outdoor with a specific focus on giving users heightened access to nature. There are currently extremely influential design projects going up around the world that strategically integrate nature into the built environment in powerful and inspiring ways.

在 NBBJ，我们很幸运能与那些理解亲生命性的治愈力的客户合作，并使我们能够推动未来的新发展。从我们与阿里巴巴在北京和杭州的合作，到我们与亚马逊在西雅图的合作，我们始终致力于重新定义自然与建筑之间的关系。我们非常希望我们的努力能有助于激励下一代以不同的方式思考建筑和城市。

At NBBJ, we have been fortunate to work with clients who understand the power of biophilia and to enable us to push the boundaries of what is next. From our work with Alibaba in Beijing and Hangzhou to our work with Amazon in Seattle, we are among a group of design firms intent on redefining the relationship of nature and buildings. We are very hopeful that our efforts will inspire the next generation to think differently about buildings and the city.

 

12 作为在亚洲、北美地区具有丰富经验的建筑师，如何看待当下的建筑设计行业？

As an architect with deep experience in Asia and north America, how do you see the current architecture industry? 

艾瑞克·菲利普斯：总体而言，整个北美及亚洲的设计和建筑行业都面临着挑战。疫情的影响范围波及全球。虽然我们已经正式走出了之前疫情的阴影，但在未来的几年里，我们仍将感受到它的影响。尽管如此，我很乐观地认为，建筑师、设计师和城市规划师的工作将继续对建设健康永续的城市产生巨大影响，并将推动社区蓬勃发展！

Eric: Overall, the design and construction industry is challenged across all of North America and Asia. The pandemic impacted businesses and governments across the globe. While we are officially out of the pandemic, the impacts will be felt for years to come. However, I remain extremely optimistic that the work of architects, designers and urban planners will continue to be extremely impactful in building healthy, sustainable cities where communities flourish!
