親愛的讀者：

當你想到磚的時候，腦海里的印象是什么？往往人們的第一聯想是“傳統”這個詞。

由于磚在世界上幾乎所有文化中都發揮過重要作用，這也就毫不意外了。磚是我們集體意識和歷史的一部分。這可以從單體歷史建筑、建筑符號和古跡以及整座城市中得到印證。

不過，燒結粘土磚不僅是最古老、最耐久的建筑材料之一；也是最現代、最前衛的。天然磚已發展為技術先進的建筑材料，兼具資源和能效兩方面優勢。然而無論怎樣發展，磚都沒有失去其鮮明的特色：建筑功能性、多用性以及塑造健康而富有個性的生活環境的獨特魅力。

全世界眾多具有開創性的杰出建筑項目就是最好的證明。

我們心中將這些非凡的項目展示于眾并授予榮譽的強烈愿望促使我們在2004年啟動了“維納博艮磚筑獎”。從中贏得的積極反饋是對我們努力的肯定。過去幾年中，有資格為競賽提名磚建筑的人選僅限于建筑評論家和記者——但2016年的“磚筑獎”我們決定向前一步，也邀請建筑師推薦自己的項目。這引起了海嘯般的反響：2014年有300人參賽的“磚筑獎”在今年收到了全世界六百項提名—— 一個創紀錄的數字。

這全然沒有讓我們的4人專家組感到輕松。畢竟，他們為自己制定的目標不是僅憑美的標準去評判建筑，而是要整體考察。這就意味著對表現、創新和實用概念的綜合評價——這種方法將保證今年建筑項目的獲獎者名至實歸。

今年中國有3個杰出項目入選我們的50項最佳作品集《磚筑16》：佚人營造建筑事務所的磚宅農舍（參見《世界建筑》201503期）、土木方建筑工作室的南京T80鐘山生命科學國際社區改造設計（參見《世界建筑》201503期），以及暢想建筑設計事務所的江西婺源松風翠茶籽油工廠（參見本刊P86）。它們體現出個性化的建筑理念何以創造出具有前瞻性的獨特項目。

我謹邀請中國每一位富有創造思維的建筑人，在不斷將磚置于新文脈的實踐中，向“2018維納博艮磚筑獎”提交自己的項目。在線報名將于2017年初啟動，更多信息請參見：www. brickaward.com。

Dear Readers，

What comes to mind when you think of brick？Often， people's very first association is with the word "traditional".

As brick has played an important role in almost all the world's cultures， this is hardly surprising. Bricks form a part of our collective consciousness and our history. The evidence for this ranges from individual historic buildings， architectural symbols and monuments to entire cities.

Burnt clay， however， is not just one of the oldest and most durable building materials； it's also among the most modern and forward-looking ones. Natural brick has evolved into a technologically highly advanced building material that offers both resource and energy efficiency. For all of its advances， though，brick has not lost its distinctive characteristics: its architectural functionality， its versatility and its unique ability to shape a healthy and individual living environment.

Many extraordinary， ground-breaking architectural projects happening all over the world attest to this.

Our strong desire to showcase and honour some of these outstanding projects led us to launch the Wienerberger Brick Award in 2004. The strong positive feedback we have received is a confirmation of our efforts. In previous years， the only people eligible to nominate brick architecture for inclusion in the competition were architectural critics and journalists – but， for Brick Award 2016， we have decided to go a step further and let architects put forward their own projects as well. The reaction has been overwhelming: where 300 contestants applied for the Brick Award 2014， this year saw 600 projects nominated from all over the world – a record number.

That did not make the work of our four-member panel of experts any easier. The goal they had set for themselves， after all， was to judge architectural quality not just on the basis of aesthetic criteria， but to take a holistic approach. That meant assessing the interplay of expression， innovation and concept of use – an approach that assures that the architectural projects of this year's winners are particularly noteworthy.

This year three extraordinary projects from China made it into our book Brick 16， presenting the 50 best projects: Wang-House in Chunxiao by Anonymous Architects & Workshop （please see the 2015 March issue of World Architecture）， A Courtyard Community in Zhongshan by Atelier Groundwork Architecture （please see also the 2015 March issue of World Architecture） and Song Feng Cui in Wuyuan， by Imagine Architects （please see page 86 ）. They illustrate how customized architecture concepts can create unique and forward-looking projects.

I would like to invite all the creative architectural minds from China， who are constantly placing brick in a new context， to submit their projects for the next Wienerberger Brick Award 2018. Submission starts online at the beginning of 2017 （www.brickaward.com）.
