问：You are quite dynamic to be part of academic organizations and event like uni-lecturer in/out China. Therefore, is there any difference between them?

　　您一直活跃在国内外各种学术组织和活动中，那么您觉得国内外的活动有什么区别，您对中国业内的学术活动有什么建议或者期许?

　　【Enrico Taranta】：Well, like in any other countries in the world there a commercial events and cultural events both have different value and meaning, I personally like to attend as much as possible events when I have time because I like to sharing ideas and knowledge and for sure meeting many people.

　　就像世界上其他国家一样，商务活动和文化活动都有不同的价值和意义，有时间时我个人喜欢尽可能多的参加这些活动，因为我希望遇到更多志趣相投的人们，从而与更多人分享我们的创意和设计上的东西。

　　问：What are the suggestions which help to improve the communications between Chinese and foreigner design?

　　中国设计应该如何与世界沟通?您有什么好的建议吗?您希望跟中国的同行交流什么东西?

　　【Enrico Taranta】：Communication it is the key point in everything in life, business, love, friendship, I think Chinese designer should try to feel more confident and less shy to open communication or exchange with foreigners in terms of ideas and visions and foreigners designers (at least the one living and working in china) they should make more efforts to learn basic Chinese language and study Chinese culture.

　　交流是生活中一切事情的关键，就象做生意、谈恋爱、交朋友。我觉得中国设计师在与外国设计师交流或交换意见的时候，在思维碰撞的时候，叙述自己想法的时候，都应该充满自信，千万不要害羞。而外国设计师(至少是在中国居住和上班的)应该更努力的学习中国语言和中国文化。

　　问：In accordance with the fact that the reduction of gap between Chinese and foreigner design, we need to value our competitive advantage and disadvantage, what’s your opinion of that? What role China will play upon the stage of international theatre of design?

　　在国内外设计水平差距逐渐缩小的情况下，我们需要思考自己的竞争优势和差距，您对此有何看法?您认为在未来的发展道路中，中国将在国际舞台上扮演怎样的角色?

　　【Enrico Taranta】：Considering that the world is globalized now the there is a globalized economy the chance for Chinese designer to jump into the international field will happen more and more, the Chinese designer should take strong the keypoint of their advantage: they are hard working people they can bring balance in space and design they can introduce Chinese style from a standing out and exotic point of view and most of all they can merge and collaborate with designers from other countries join the forces to created a new globalized design.

　　世界的全球化、经济的全球化，会让中国设计师将会有越来越多的机会出现在国际舞台上。中国设计师应该充分的利用他们的优势：他们辛勤工作，他们可以在空间和设计上实现平衡，他们可以从突出的异国观点中引出中国风格，最重要的是他们可以和从其他国家加入的设计师合并协作创造一个新的全球化设计。

　　问：All over the city at global, there is trend increasingly that the development is made via city/district/suburb planning. Do you have any opinion and recommendation about that? (pictures and documents may needed)

　　在遍布世界各地的城市中，从城市和区域规划层面促进产业的发展已经成为非常时髦的现象。您有些什么好的观点和建议吗?

　　【Enrico Taranta】：I think the city planning or suburb is just the hardware of the development what makes the software in the information and the people thinking and lifestyle, that sometimes take very long to develop and can only be developed by cultural exchange and different experiences in people’s life.

　　我认为城市规划和郊区规划只是硬件的发展，并且促使信息中软件的发展和人们的思考和生活方式，有时花费很长的时间仅仅使人们生活中的文化交流和不同的经验有所增长。

　　问：As the current situation of China, there are way too many junk buildings, as an honored designer with attitude, what you will do to make architecture and urban planning to develop under a healthy status?

　　就中国的现状来讲，有了太多垃圾建筑，作为有社会责任感的设计师，会用什么手段方式让建筑和规划在一个良性的状态下发展?

　　【Enrico Taranta】：Well if those building are quite new build no more than 20 years I would prefer demolished that and rebuild it more sustainable and more suitable for a good use probably would be even cheaper than just renovate it and still keep the disadvantage.

　　如果这些不合适的所谓的垃圾建筑都没有合理使用，并且没超过20年，那么宁愿拆除，重新开发修建更持久，更合适的，能够真正屋尽其用的建筑，这样的成本可能比改造一个不合适的建筑还要便宜更多。

　　问：Architecture is not only for the magnitude of imagination but also application, how to balance?

　　建筑需要提供生活的多种可能性，我们如何把握想象力和建筑的方向?

　　【Enrico Taranta】：Yes exactly architecture is not only about beauty or shape but is how to get the right intuition to choose the suitable shape or feeling for the usage of certain people with specific needs, you become a good designer only when you are aware of that and getting more knowledge about culture economy art can all help you to find the right choice

　　一个好的建筑不仅仅他的美感和形状，还要考切身考虑到使用者的感受，功能与美感相辅相成，从而达到设计的目的。要成为一个好的设计师，只有当你意识到它并且获得更多关于经济文化艺术知识时，所有的一切才能帮你做出正确的选择。

　　问：In your opinion, what kind of role of design will play in the future? How they serve people? Future of trend for architecture design?

　　您认为未来设计将扮演什么角色?设计应该为人们解决什么问题?您怎么看建筑设计未来的趋势?

　　【Enrico Taranta】：In the future I hope that more people will be able to understand the importance of the design in life and that design will be easy accessible to everybody, so not only super rich people will be able to enjoy a good design but all of the population in a certain way.

　　我希望未来有更多的人能了解生活中设计的重要性，并且让设计很容易的融入每个人里，不仅仅是超级富有的人能享受好的设计，而是所有的人都能享受到。

　　问：World started to look similar, everywhere. What do your works do in it?

　　世界正在变得越来越相似，你的作品将起到什么作用?

　　【Enrico Taranta】：My works try to be still a little similar to the others in the world but with a bit more energy passion and personality just to reflect who I am. I realize that big changes start from little steps. And a big step will create chaos rather then support the change,

　　我的作品试图和世界其他地方仍然有点相似，但多了一些能量激情和能反映我是谁的个性化设计。我意识到大的变化是开始于小的步骤的。并且大的步骤不是支持改变而是制造混乱。我也希望可以尽到我的一份绵薄之力。

　　问：What project you are busy with next?

　　请问您正在着手的下一个设计是?

　　【Enrico Taranta】：I am working at the new shanghai tower in construction at the moment in lujiazui for the tallest observatory in Asia (121 and 122 floors) and head quarter for fashion industry and yachting, beside that hotel and resorts in Suzhou and a new material with 3d shape totally sustainable to apply on the wall

　　我目前正在新上海中心大厦陆家嘴建设亚洲最高的天文台(121和122层)，还有总部要求的时尚行业和游艇，此外还有苏州的酒店和度假村，一种新的3d形状的材料完全可以运用在墙上。

新上海中心大厦

　　设计的概念来源于河流。通常河流都位于地面，在城市中流经的河流都处在水平线高度。在建筑设计中，河流总是以其本来形态出现，起到提升环境品质的作用。但我们希望能用一种创造性的、与众不同的方式来演绎河流这个概念。我们在建筑设计中融入了河流，并将它的走向设计成摆脱引力的方式，由地面行径至顶层。这个概念衍生使我们在上海中心大厦项目中采用了垂直河流的元素。

　　设计中融入了象征大厦的基本三角形状。比如119层的灯光布置是根据这个形状进行安排，以及B1层进入大厅天花板上的“穹顶天窗”设计。

夜晚的119层

　　为了能够增强参观者在上海中心大厦观光层的体验以及更好展示上海的历史和未来，设计中采用了众多互动科技。参观者可以在118层体验未来的上海。通过最新的高科技装置和多点触摸屏，结合水幕投影的装置将使你可和整个城市的天际线进行互动。119层的上海故事观光厅利用互动技术展现上海之过去、现在和将来，以及这座城市的活力和创新。除了能欣赏上海全景，在118和119层上设计了公园，供参观者在参观途中休息。这些绿色区域使大楼更生态环保，也增加了更多自然感觉。这也会成为人们的社交场所。

　　问：Please share your opinion about “ideal city” & the life in it

　　请你描述一下你理想中的城市和城市生活。

　　【Enrico Taranta】：My ideal city is a place where people coexist and exchange knowledge to improve our already complicated life existence and where everyone could be able to be the personal designer for their life.

　　我的理想城市，是人们能在里面共存并且交流，从而得到改善我们已经存在的复杂生活的各种方法，在那里，每个人都能成自己生活的个人设计师。
