奪人眼球的“建筑短視”

建筑設計奇形怪狀，一味追求標新立異，而忽視了實用性和美感，如今這樣的建筑物可真不在少數。這其實是犯了“建筑短視”的毛病。

Have you ever looked at a bizarre building design and wondered, “What were the architects thinking?”…You might be forgiven for thinking “these architects must be blind!” New research shows that in a real sense, you might actually be right….
你是否曾經看到一個奇怪的建筑設計時感到疑惑，“建筑師當時在想啥呢”？或許你覺得“建筑師一定是眼瞎了”，這樣想也情有可原。新的調查顯示，其實你也許是對的……

Architectural myopia refers to building design that emphasizes distinctive, attention-getting features over practical concerns or simple aesthetics.
“建筑短視”用來指過于著重與眾不同和吸引眼球的特色，而不是實際問題或質樸美學的建筑設計。
