The AW Interview with Andrew Zago

The principal and owner of Zago Architecture, Andrew Zago has been engaged in conversations about architecture, urbanism, and education for over twenty-five years. In the AW Interview with editor Mary Ann O’Donnell, Zago charts the relationship between art and architecture, or drawings and construction. The dialogue also provides insight into Zago’s quest to discover and open up new aesthetic territory in the spaces of overlap and distances between these two practices. The purpose of this exploration is to expand our understanding of the possibilities of architecture as a discipline, as an expression of ethics, and as a political practice. The moral of the story is that as a society, if we want to reimagine and reshape the world, we need to support artists and individuals who are doing the creative work that nourishes the urban ecosystem.

安德魯·扎戈簡介

扎戈建筑事務(wù)所（Zago Architecture）負(fù)責(zé)人， 安德魯·扎戈（Andrew Zago）致力于建筑行業(yè)、城市發(fā)展以及教育領(lǐng)域的相互對話，已有25個年頭了。本期《世界建筑導(dǎo)報》，扎戈將應(yīng)邀與編輯瑪麗·安·歐唐納（Mary Ann O’Donnell）對話，一同來梳理藝術(shù)與建筑之間的關(guān)系（或者說繪畫與構(gòu)造的關(guān)系）。他試圖在這兩大領(lǐng)域的異同之間發(fā)現(xiàn)新的美學(xué)內(nèi)涵，從這次談話中我們也可以一窺扎戈的這一訴求。建筑作為一門學(xué)科，在他的探索中將會呈現(xiàn)出更豐富的可能性。這里，建筑不只是一門學(xué)科，它也可能是一種倫理表現(xiàn)甚或是政治實踐。這一次談話也引申出一個道德話題，那就是如果我們要重新塑造這個世界，那些致力于創(chuàng)造性工作的藝術(shù)家和個體就應(yīng)該得到社會的支持，因為城市生態(tài)正是得益于他們的工作。

扎戈畢業(yè)于密歇根大學(xué)（University of Michigan）獲得學(xué)士學(xué)位，并于哈佛大學(xué)獲得建筑學(xué)碩士，現(xiàn)任教于南加州建筑學(xué)院（Southern California Institute of Architecture），同時也是該校視覺研究項目的協(xié)調(diào)專員。扎戈還于伊利諾伊州立大學(xué)芝加哥建筑分院（University of Illinois Chicago School of Architecture）擔(dān)任助理教授，在羅馬美國學(xué)院（American Academy in Rome）也獲得教職，他還是華盛頓總務(wù)管理局同行人員注冊處（National Register of Peer Professionals of the General Services Administration in Washington）的會員。扎戈曾獲得美國藝術(shù)文學(xué)院（American Academy of Arts and Letters）頒發(fā)的建筑學(xué)術(shù)獎并受到“美國藝術(shù)家”協(xié)會（United States Artists Organization）的資金贊助。
