B+W Architects：第16届国际威尼斯建筑双年展澳大利亚馆的主题是修复。一直以来，我们在澳大利亚建造的建筑和城市，主要是为了将我们与自然环境隔离开来，而这就造成了人们开始逐渐忽视自然系统，所以，建筑环境学科的思维正在转向修复自然环境，作为城市形态的一个有意义和可持续的框架——以城市扩张的逆序扩展自然环境。

B+W Architects：The theme for the Australian Pavilion at the 16th International La Biennale di Venezia Architettura is Repair. Since we’ve been making buildings and cities in Australia, it has mostly been to separate us from the natural environment. Consequences of the disregard of natural systems are now being felt and there is a shift of thinking amongst built environment disciplines towards repairing the natural environment as a meaningful and enduring framework for urban form – an expansion of the natural environment in a sort of reverse order of urban sprawl.

澳大利亚皇家建筑师协会提出“修复”的理念作为建筑思维方式，即建筑如何在修复其所在的场地中发挥作用，将成为建筑文化的一项重要策略。这与澳大利亚建筑师的工作息息相关，他们在世界上最多样化和生态最敏感的地方之一工作，在澳大利亚，一般人们都会知道和了解殖民前的场地条件状况。但特别的是，我们的城市散布在残馀的植被，与较大的自然系统紧紧相连，这也让我们记住，我们的城市是建立在我们第一民族的传统文化景观周围和之上的。

Presented by the Royal Australian Institute of Architects, Repair as an approach to architectural thinking, that is, how can architecture play a role in repairing the places it is part of, is set to become a critical strategy of architectural culture. It is particularly relevant to Australian architects who work in one of the most diverse and ecologically sensitive landscapes in the world, where the pre-settlement condition can still often be known and understood. Uniquely, our cities are interspersed and bordered by remnant vegetation and often connected to larger natural systems. Let’s also remember that our cities are built over and around the traditional cultural landscapes of our First Nations peoples.
