for the birth of our first daughter, Maya.

在我們家附近，位於加州奧克蘭，

We had responsibly toured the birthing center in advance

去迎接我們的第一個女兒 瑪雅的出生。

and yet we were somehow still startled to find ourselves

one of the most significant moments of our lives.

經歷生命中最重要的時刻之一。

with no hint of the bright and sunny day that we had left.

我們被安排在一個無窗的房間裡，

完全感受不到我們入住時的好天氣。

as a wall clock indicated day turning to night.

壁鐘顯示時間的流逝， 白天轉為黑夜。

to where my wife lay as her contractions increased hour after hour.

她躺在床上，經歷為時數小時 愈來愈強的收縮疼痛。

but she assured me that the last thing that a birthing woman would ever want

那時她向我保證， 產婦最不想要的

An architect by training, I've always been fascinated

watching people experience design in the world around them.

身為專業的建築師， 我總著迷地看著

I believe design functions like the soundtrack

人們體驗日常生活中 環繞著他們的設計。

that we're not even fully aware is playing.

我相信設計的功能就像原聲帶，

It sends us subconscious messages about how to feel

That room that we were in seemed completely misaligned

with the moment that we were experiencing --

似乎與我們所經歷的那一刻 完全錯位──

At one point a nurse, without any prompt,

我們的女兒──走進這個世界。

because I could have designed rooms like this better.'"

因為我能設計出比這更好的房間。」

「這房間是出自設計師之手啊。」

Despite the immense joy of our daughter's birth,

the messages of that hospital room stick with she and I to this day.

雖然女兒的誕生 帶給我倆莫大的喜悅，

至今我們仍記得待在那病房的感受。

might just be described or dismissed as uninspiring.

And I use it to point out that none of us,

講難聽一點， 這設計無法讓使用者覺得被尊重。

I went into architecture because I believed

it was about creating spaces for people to live their best lives.

And yet what I found is a profession largely disconnected

我能夠為人們創造最棒的生活空間。

from the people most directly impacted by its work.

I believe this is because architecture remains

幾乎與被他們的設計 影響最大的人們脫鉤。

白人觀點、男性思想、菁英主義⋯⋯

with some of the greatest needs in the world

or even the relatively simple needs of an expectant mother.

他們不關心這世上 一些最重要的需求，

rarely interacting with real people or actual communities.

Graduates are funneled through a long, narrow

極少接觸到實際的人物或團體。

Meanwhile, the profession holds up a select few

focused almost exclusively on the aesthetics of buildings,

rather than the societal impact or contributions of them.

因為這些競賽幾乎 只專注於作品的美感，

而不是帶給社會影響力或貢獻。

of professional responsibility and success

and yet this isn't why so many young, hopeful people

但這不是眾多前途似錦的年輕人

I believed then, though I didn't have a language for it,

and I know now, that design has a unique ability to dignify.

雖然難以言喻， 但我從那時直到今日都深信

設計能獨特地建立使用者的尊嚴。

Now I'd like for you to just think about some of the spaces that you inhabit.

And I'd like to have you think about how they make you feel.

現在，請你們想想你的居住空間。

Now, there are places that make us feel unhappy,

And I ask, how might these places be better designed with you in mind?

我想問，這些地方如果 有考慮到你會不會設計得更好？

and it can somehow, sometimes be very difficult to answer.

Because we are conditioned to feel like we don't have much agency

over the spaces and places that we live, work and play.

認為我們無權改變 我們的生活、工作和遊樂的地方。

Now, here's a potentially dumb question for any women watching:

接下來，容我問女性觀眾一個蠢問題：
