欧洲,这个充满魅力的地方,她的名字来源于希腊女神欧罗巴。当行走在这片土地上,随处可见的建筑,不仅总体呈现出与亚洲不一样的特点,而且国与国之间的建筑也不尽相同,甚至各个城市的城市规划也各不相同,让人领略不一样的风情格调。
我把欧洲生活的六年时光里行走过的城市用水彩画笔和文字记录了下来,经过漫长的积累和整理,于是就有了这一本欧洲的水彩手记。从西欧的英伦三岛,到横跨欧亚大陆的土耳其,这本手记有我走过的城市街景,凝视过的标志性建筑物,也有品尝过的美食,亲身感受过的节日和文化。它既是我在欧洲旅行和生活的美好记忆,同时也呈现了一个建筑师眼中独特的城市面貌。不论是水彩画爱好者、欧洲建筑爱好者,还是去欧洲旅行的朋友,我衷心希望可以与你们一起分享这里的彩色时光。
Europe, what a charming name that derives from the Greek word for goddess Europa. As you walk around the cities of Europe, you can see different characteristics of European architecture. There is a huge difference between the city planning in Europe and Asia, the European inland city, coastal city, mountain city plannings are also different.
I recorded with paintbrush and text of the cities I went to during the six years I stayed in Europe, and after several years of accumulation and compilation, it results in this European watercolor notes. From the British Isles of Western Europe, to Turkey across Eurasia, this note includes city streets I walked, landmark buildings I gazed, also the food, festivals and cultures I experienced. It is a beautiful memory of both the stay and travel in Europe, and the unique urban views seen by an architect. No matter you are a watercolor painting enthusiast, a European architecture enthusiast, or a traveller planning to travel in Europe, I deeply hope that I can share the colorful times with you.
