Harvard Graduate School of Design professors (and alumni) Sharon Johnston and Mark Lee, and their Los Angeles-based practice Johnston Marklee, have been profiled by the Los Angeles Times in a feature entitled “The L.A. architects who design buildings that make you say, ‘Huh?,' then ‘Wow!'” In surveying a range of Johnston and Lee's projects–including the recently opened Menil Drawing Institute in Houston and UCLA’s Margo Leavin Graduate Art Studios in Culver City–the Los Angeles Times notes the “grace” of the duo's work, as well as the inability to assign Johnston and Lee to one, single category of architect.
哈佛大学设计学院的教授(和校友)莎伦·约翰斯顿和马克·李,以及他们在洛杉矶的实习机构约翰斯顿·马克利,被《洛杉矶时报》在一篇题为《洛杉矶建筑师谁设计的建筑让你说,哈?,然后“哇!”《洛杉矶时报》在调查约翰斯顿和李的一系列项目(包括最近在休斯顿开设的梅尼尔绘画学院和加州大学洛杉矶分校在卡尔弗城的玛戈·莱文研究生艺术工作室)时,注意到两人作品的“优雅”,以及无法将约翰斯顿和李分配给一个单一类别的建筑师。
“Previous generations had a signature style, and it’s easier to label,” Lee observes in the feature. “Our generation wants to escape that.”
“前几代有一个签名风格,它更容易标记,”李观察在功能。“我们这一代人想逃避这一点。”
Johnston and Lee joined the GSD faculty in 2018 as Professors in Practice of Architecture. Additionally, Lee was named Chair of the GSD's Department of Architecture that same year. Johnston and Lee's Los Angeles Times profile offers a look, visually and conceptually, at a series of their firm's works, presenting thoughts and reflections from various clients for whom the duo have designed.
Johnston和Lee于2018年加入GSD学院,担任建筑实践教授此外,同年,李被任命为GSD建筑系主任约翰斯顿和李的《洛杉矶时报》简介从视觉和概念上介绍了他们公司的一系列作品,展示了两人为其设计的不同客户的想法和思考。
“The path of their career is that they have the capacity to do different kinds of projects, but with the certainty that you will get Johnston Marklee quality,” says Brett Steele, dean of UCLA’s School of the Arts and Architecture. “It’s a tricky thing for architects. It takes a degree of confidence.”
加州大学洛杉矶分校艺术与建筑学院院长布雷特·斯蒂尔说:“他们的职业道路是,他们有能力做不同类型的项目,但可以肯定的是,你会获得约翰斯顿·马克利的质量。”“这对建筑师来说是件棘手的事情。这需要一定程度的信心。”
“All of this is the work of an architectural studio that is less preoccupied with planting Instagrammable icons than in creating structures,” writes the profile's author Carolina Miranda, “that react to local context in deliberate ways.”
“所有这些都是一个建筑工作室的工作,比起创建结构来,这个工作室更专注于植入不可编程的图标,”简介的作者卡罗琳娜·米兰达(Carolina Miranda)写道,“它们以深思熟虑的方式对当地环境做出反应。”
“Our generation, globally, a little older or younger, we are more interested in the fabric of cities,” Johnston tells Miranda. “Not just the monuments and icons. It’s about understanding how we relate to the things around us. Not just ourselves.”
约翰斯顿告诉米兰达:“我们这一代人,在全球范围内,年龄稍大或稍小,我们对城市结构更感兴趣。”“不仅仅是纪念碑和图标它是关于理解我们如何与周围的事物联系在一起。不仅仅是我们自己。”
“A good building is like a good friend,” adds Lee. “If you want to be left alone, they will leave you alone. They will let you be quiet. But if you engage, they can tell you a lot.”
“好的建筑就像好朋友,”李补充道“如果你想一个人呆着,他们会让你一个人呆着他们会让你安静的但如果你参与,他们会告诉你很多。”
Johnston Marklee has been recognized nationally and internationally with over 30 major awards. A book on the work of the firm, entitled HOUSE IS A HOUSE IS A HOUSE IS A HOUSE IS A HOUSE, was published by Birkhauser in 2016. This followed a monograph on the firm’s work, published in 2014 by 2G.
