As architecture industry is undergoing profound reflection and transformation as it settles in the tides of time. The once-unrestrained growth of urban structures has gradually quieted, while mountains and seas—echoes of ideals of dwelling—are being sketched anew. Today, project choices are no longer driven solely by commercial logic. More and more architects are stepping into nature, engaging with local contexts, and seeking alternative resonances for design within the interstices of cultural and travel-oriented spaces.
Faced with shifting environments and challenges, diverse paths and values continue to emerge—some measure the boundaries of design under the banner of " mountains and seas," some uphold ideals through the ethos of small, independent studios, while others explore possibilities for reinvention within the frameworks of large design institutions.
We cannot help but wonder: How can architects reclaim the purity of creation? And how can they take the vast earth and sky as their canvas to truly root their ideals in reality? It is more of a journey toward the inner light. With "mountains and seas as their scroll," they collectively rewrite the coordinates of creativity, responsibility, and the pursuit of a meaningful life.
当建筑在时代的浪潮中沉淀，行业也在经历一场深层的思考与转向。曾经野蛮生长的楼宇渐次止息，而山与海，作为传统人居理想的回响，再次被提笔描摹。而今，项目的选择不再只是商业逻辑的推演，越来越多的建筑师开始走入自然、走向在地，在文旅的缝隙中探寻设计的另一种回声。
面对环境的变化与行业的挑战，差异化的路径与价值仍在不断生长──有人以“山海”为名重新丈量设计的边界，有人以小微事务所的姿态坚持理想，也有人在大型设计院的体系中寻找转向与重构的可能。
我们不禁试问：建筑师如何重拾创造的纯粹？又如何以辽阔的天地为画卷，让理想真正落地生根？奔赴山海，亦是奔赴内心不曾熄灭的那束光。他们以“山海为卷”，共同执笔，重新校准那份关于创造、责任与美好生活的理想坐标。
On July 11th 米Salon titled "Journey to Mountains and Seas– Redrawing Architects' Ideal Coordinates," was held at Roca Shanghai Gallery. The event invited 3 leading architects—Nan Xiang, Ziyu Zhuang, and Yuan Xie—as guest speakers. Drawing from their hands-on experience and reflections, they shared insights on how architects can leverage their expertise to address real-world demands in cultural and tourism projects amid today’s challenging industry climate, while also redefining their professional trajectories.
7月11日，米salon“共赴山海──山海为卷，重绘建筑师的理想坐标”主题活动于Roca Shanghai Gallery举办。此次活动邀请相南、庄子玉、谢湲三位深耕一线的建筑师作为嘉宾。他们从自身的实践和思考出发，分享在如今低迷的行业背景下，建筑师们如何在文旅项目中通过专业能力回应真实需求，并借此再次探索个人职业发展的锚点。
