這是最新一期的「大人の科学」......我只能說太邪惡了！上一期的黑膠唱盤我還沒時間組裝起來呢！怎麼可以在我應該要戰戰兢兢地申請學校時推出這種蠱惑人心的東西呢！

這是內附的蒸汽車。組裝好後，在鍋爐內加入清水，點燃底下的酒精燈，呵呵！就等著他噗嗤噗嗤地邊跑邊冒著蒸汽了！！日文的大人（おとな）大約指10歲到16歲的中小學生，這時的青少年應該是對科學最好奇的時候，也正是基礎科學教育開始扎根的絕佳時機。這類刊物相信幫助不少日本青少年真正地了解了許多的基礎科學，諸如力學、光學、微波電學，以及造就了工業革命（與溫室效應）的蒸汽機。這些知識造就了我們現今的賴以生存的世界與文明。若我們從小便藉由親手操作來了解這些科學的背後基本原理，那接下來就是老調重彈了.....就算了吧

英國田野上奔馳的蒸汽耕耘機....真雄偉啊

為什麼日本人總是能想出或是想研究這些看似無聊其實卻很有趣的東西呢？看看我和 A 的書架，許多人真的會以為我們要到日本留學吧？不過我真的好奇，難道西方人的建築歷史研究完全對五金、屋瓦、面磚、設備這些東西沒興趣嗎？

這一期會選擇蒸汽機或許也是因應蒸汽男孩的上映吧？

議題內容：
Main Theme
Re-thinking and Re-constructing Modern Asian Architecture
亞洲近現代建築的反思及重構
The main theme of 5th mAAN Conference in Istanbul immediately prior to the UIA Congress is defined as “Re-thinking and Re-constructing Modern Asian Architecture”. The objective behind re-evaluation of modern Asian Architecture in the main theme was for the specific purpose of avoiding cliché and established norms of defining what “modern” is in Asia. It is expected that the papers to be submitted to the 2005 conference will question former premises of this discussion. The content of the conference will entail three sub-themes. In the Conference, “modern” will be re-defined, modernizing the traditional will be re-evaluated and re-habilitating and re-vitalizing the “modern” will be re-exposed. Besides, two special sessions are preparing, which will focus on Architecture in West Asia and mAAN core-members and working groups’ researches.

Session 1 (theoretical)
The Emergence and Re-definition of "modern" as a Concept in Asia
亞洲地區“現代”觀念的原起與重釋
The history of modern architecture in Asia is rather a problematical one. Besides having to deal with the diverse cultural, geographical and historical parameters, these legacies are also the very lenses through which Asian modernity is being viewed and judged. In this context of viewing and judging, the question of what constitutes the modern in Asia often springs and totalizes one's imagination. Totalization leads to a kind of closure and as a result, aspects arising from Asia are often judged as to whether they are in close fit to these assumed categories. The session aims to do away with such belief. Rather than adopt this approach, the session encourages scholars and researchers to present papers that capture moments of modernity in its making; on how architecture and urbanity are involved, implicitly and explicitly, in the shifting of subjectivity and or in the making of new knowledge.

Keywords: modern, diversity, re-definition, discourse, architecture and urbanity.

Session 2 (practical/case studies)
Revitalization and Metamorphosis: Sustainability of Built Asian Heritage
再強化與變形：亞洲文化資產的永續性
Looking across Asia, we can see the rich inventory of both traditional and modern urban and architectural heritage. Some are left quietly in the dust, others are ignored, abused and scheduled to be dismantled.

At the beginning, the discipline of conservation and its discourses were constructed within the context of duality of "modern versus traditional". The intention was defined to protect and revive the traditional built environment from assault of the sweeping modernity. Now we become face to face with the urgent need to redefine the paradigm as "modern versus modern". Especially in Asia, each new phase of modernity seems to ignore and/or destruct the heritage of its own previous phases. Our present agenda is to discuss the fate of the modern architectural heritage in new ways theoretically different from the paradigm of "modern vs. traditional".
In our session, we will discuss new strategies and approaches to protect and revitalize the buildings and sites. We will feature the process and the results of the energy, commitments and creative maneuvers behind these revitalization projects. The session welcomes the architects, urban designers, government officials and heritage managers to submit their works and experiences with the process of revitalization, which carry the spirit of Asian modernity. Case studies are most welcome.

Keywords: revitalization, metamorphosis, discourse, urban modernity

Topics to be considered:
1. Proposed or completed project
2. Background process of the project
3. Methodology employed in accomplishing the result, i.e. activism, town meetings, client communication.
4. The design process
5. The revitalized and transformed architecture
6. Relevance of the project to the community
7. Technological and technical innovation, if any

Session 3 (history)
Living Our Hybridity: Layered Memories of Cross-Cultural Encounters
活在混雜：多元文化交融的多層次記憶
In different parts of Asia, our daily living environment is a constant reminder of our history: both the history of encounters among the different cultures and peoples of Asia as well as the encounters between Asia and the West. This session calls for papers that try to locate our built heritage in the multiple perspectives (temporal and spatial, collective and individual, local and global...) that constitute its complex and layered meaning. Encounter, memory, and hybridity are not to be addressed as normative concepts but as fluid, relational, and possibly even contradictory issues while the stability of meaning is questioned and opened to constant redefinition. Thus, we as historians seek to recapture, reimagine, and retell the stories that make our heritage a dynamic, living legacy.

Keywords: built heritage, cross-cultural encounters, fabric of architecture, hybridity, layered memory, multiculturalism, oral history

Questions that we need to be aware of:
- How have different practices, lives, experiences, and the spaces that people created through time been woven into each other throughout history?
- What would be our tools for writing history, concerning the relations of the existing built heritage with the transience and temporariness of the present and the instability and insecurity of the future?
- How should architects, historians, and conservationists inspire each other and work together in order to address such questions as the ones asked above?

Special Session 1 (West Asian Researches)
Forum for Re-examining West Asian Architecture and Cities: Content, Context, Framework and Vision
重新檢視西亞(中東)之建築與城市：內涵、脈絡、架構與視野
Until now, mAAN has been enthusiastically involved in the discussion of what is "modern" with regard to the architecture and cities of East Asia, Southeast Asia, and South Asia. This experience has convinced us that the validity and relevance of mAAN's discussions can apply not only to those regions but also to Central and West Asia, to Russia and Eastern Europe, and even Africa when we think about the architectural and urban transformation that these areas had undergone during the 19th and 20th centuries.

As we are holding mAAN 5 in Istanbul, a unique city located at the meeting point of Asia (including the Middle East and Northern Africa) and Europe, we have decided to ask ourselves the following questions through this special session:

1) Content: What are the actual realities of West Asian architecture and cities of the 19th and 20th centuries?
2) Context: What can be learned about the origins and transformation of the domestic and international/regional dynamics (Central and West Asia, Russia and Eastern Europe, Africa) that had surrounded such architecture and cities? What are their temporal and spatial backgrounds?
3) Framework: What kind of intellectual framework is needed for us to grasp all this?
4) Vision: How should we proceed in our future discussions?
Through presentations during this session, which will be selected by the recommendation of session members and our affiliates and not by an open call for papers, we hope to create a forum where the intention of mAAN can be more broadly and deeply shared by architects, historians, and administrators, whose participation is most welcome.

Special Session 2 (mAAN show case)
"Re(de)fining a mAAN Paradigm: Imbricating Research, Theory & Action"
尋回或再定義亞洲近代建築網絡的原始目標：結合研究、理論與行動
This special session will extend the on-going discussion about the methods, practices and goals of mAAN. It is devoted to refining the initial vision created by mAAN four years ago. The presentations and speakers for this special session will be invited to contribute to the discourse on Asian modernity and modern architecture in Asia, and to strengthen the cooperation among scholars and professionals in and around Asia. The participation of the audience members will be vital, as ample time is being given for discussion.

這兩天開始密集地將整理到一個段落的申請資料：Research Proposal, Statement of Purpose以及C.V.也就是Resume寄到各個可能會有興趣的老師電子信箱內。當然也預期會收到拒絕信，不過，這種信以前就已經收到過幾次，加上現在真的是火燒屁股的緊急關頭，根本沒有心情、沒有時間、甚至沒有力氣感到失望。就只是努力地查學校及老師網頁上的資料，再把這些資料專心地穿插到給老師的信以及Statement中。嗯！研究所所學的不就是這些嗎？搜尋並編織資料。
最近就這樣了
說痛苦還真的是很痛苦的過程，傷身傷神，不過肯定比不上「悲慘的英國博士研究生活」痛苦。

Good Luck to A and J

書看不完了啦..................不要再追我了啦

我真的很喜歡看書，不管是什麼樣的書我...嗯.幾乎都有興趣啦。為了申請博士班，我認為我必須把自身的理論基礎打好，免得到時候丟人現眼.....所以我得看書，很多理論論述及評論(criticism)，當然也要大量地閱讀英文資料以累積英文實力並了解學術近況，這些其實都是我最弱但卻是作研究最基礎的馬步功。然而，我再也受不了了.....我的頭快爆了，誰告訴我一下傅柯到底想說什麼啦.....

這本書....嗯.算是一個小小的休息吧，說是“小”屋，但這本書其實很“大”也的確很有“力”

比起潔癖成性的日本，臺灣擁有更多的“小屋”，有些還真的很有力，最有名的例子：檳榔西施玻璃屋。這算是一種考現學吧？我也曾想過要將這些小型違章拍下來，不過總不知要如何下手。誰有興趣的話，一起來吧

小屋，某個程度上就像是個秘密基地般，書中提到了梭羅以及其他有名沒名的人所擁有的小屋....《20世紀少年》的故事劇情大抵上是圍繞著一群小朋友以野草所搭建的秘密基地，以及在基地內謅出來的童話故事所一起建構出來的不可思議的夢想成真計畫。好萊塢也有許多類似的電影。現在的臺灣小孩不知道時不時興蓋秘密基地，不過我也經歷過加入秘密組織以及建造秘密基地的童年，這些故事看起來真的讓人感到特別親切。
看來日本書店也挺流行秘密基地的遊戲，還第6回了：
まぼろし書店神保町店/第6回は『秘密基地大作戦』をお送りします...........

這篇沒有順序的雜記，算是近況。標題則是深刻的生活感受
