2015版芝加哥建筑双年展的标题将是建筑艺术的状态。

当今“建筑艺术的状态”是什么？建筑不仅仅是一个建筑艺术的职业或技艺，而是一个充满活力的文化实践，渗透在日常生活的方方面面，从住房到教育，从环境意识到经济增长，从当地社区到全球网络。在这样一个加速变化的时代，今天的建筑师、艺术家、设计师、规划师和活动家正在酝酿一个有远见的想法，来测试这些日常生活的限制。作为保留了我们居住方式并形成我们周围世界的创造性突破的平台，芝加哥建筑双年展将为建筑界人才带来国际性及跨时代的网络，使他们共同探索激发当今建筑想象力及指导建筑界未来的目标、挑战及可能性。

“建筑艺术的状态”将为世界各地的建筑项目和实验提供盘点的机会，为芝加哥建筑双年展的未来发展打下坚实的基础。具备难以置信的设计方法、研究兴趣和文化角度的广度，本次双年展将为辩论和交流思想提供一个国际舞台。

首届芝加哥建筑双年展的标题是“建筑艺术的状态”，源自1977年由建筑师斯坦利蒂格曼组织的会议，邀请美国顶尖设计师在芝加哥讨论建筑领域的当前状态。芝加哥建筑双年展将发扬这项活动的精神和规模。它无限欢迎来自世界各地的新颖或已成熟的实践齐聚芝加哥，以证明建筑设计领域的突破性进展如何解决当今最紧迫的问题。以这种方式来丰富芝加哥作为建筑创新熔炉的独特历史角色。在现代建筑及城市化方面的关键点的传承背景，及如路易斯沙利文、弗兰克劳埃德赖特和密斯凡德罗等建筑家们做出革命性项目的环境，芝加哥在二十一世纪将大力推动全球建筑文化的发展。

The title of the 2015 edition of the Chicago Architecture Biennial will be The State of the Art of Architecture.

What is The State of the Art of Architecture today? More than a profession or a repertoire of built artifacts, architecture is a dynamic cultural practice that permeates fundamental registers of everyday life—from housing to education, from environmental awareness to economic growth, from local communities to global networks. In an age of accelerated change, today’s architects, artists, designers, planners, and activists are developing an extraordinary range of visionary ideas that test the limits of these realms of everyday life. As a platform for the creative breakthroughs that are reimagining the ways we inhabit and shape the world around us, the Chicago Architecture Biennial will bring an international and intergenerational network of architectural talent together to explore the ambitions, challenges and possibilities that are fueling the architectural imagination today and steering the future of the field.

The State of the Art of Architecture will offer an opportunity to take stock of architectural projects and experiments from around the world, establishing a broad foundation for future editions of the Chicago Architecture Biennial. With an incredible breadth of design approaches, research interests, and cultural perspectives, it will offer a global stage for debate and the exchange of ideas.

The inaugural Chicago Architecture Biennial takes its title, The State of the Art of Architecture, from a 1977 conference organized by architect Stanley Tigerman, which invited leading American designers to Chicago to discuss the current state of the field. The Chicago Architecture Biennial will expand the spirit and scope of this event. It will invite both emerging and established practices from across the world to Chicago to demonstrate how groundbreaking advances in architectural design are tackling the most pressing issues of today. In this way it will enrich Chicago’s unique role in history as a crucible of architectural innovation. The setting for a succession of pivotal episodes in modern architecture and urbanism, and a context in which architects such as Louis Sullivan, Frank Lloyd Wright, and Mies van der Rohe developed revolutionary projects, Chicago will operate as a nexus for the ideas and practices that are driving global architectural culture in the 21st century.
