脱下建筑师身份的那一刻，我开始真正融入这片乡野。

五邑大学建筑系毕业生李继津，是一个喜欢穿工装靴，把草帽挂在脖子后，在乡野间奔走的像个农民的建筑师。

在校期间就开始作为“仓东计划”的核心成员，参与开平乡村遗产保育项目，帮助村民修复和保育碉楼村落。毕业后一直致力于乡村在地实践，他作为联合创始人，在开平塘口镇旧墟把一间已倒闭的机械厂改造成国际青年旅舍——塘口国际青年空间（又名塘口空间）。“塘口空间”不单是一个旅舍，更是一个激活本地社区、联结本地人与外来者、推动乡土文化品牌国际化的重要公共场所。

I began truly immersing myself into this rural land when I unlabelled myself from being an architect. 

Cyrus Li is an architecture graduate from Wuyi University. As a pleasant-looking architect, he likes to rush over the countryside in his tooling boots with a straw hat around his neck.

At school, he was a core member of the "Cangdong Project", participating in the Kaiping Rural Heritage Conservation Project to help villagers repair and conserve the Diaolou and villages. After graduation, he dedicated himself in the rural areas. As a co-founder, he transformed the closed mechanical factory into an international youth hostel, Tangkou International Youth Space (also known as Tangkou Space) in the old market of Tangkou, Kaiping. “Tangkou Space” is not only a hostel, but also an important public place to activate local communities, connect locals with outsiders, and promote local culture brands to an international market.

在他的注视下，植物爱说话。

从文字到图像，从财经到植物，李叶飞被好奇心拐跑，用四年时间自我钻研成为了一个植物博学家，身边常见花草渊源尽知。

他创立了《植物星球》，用文字和图像一本正经地科普植物世界的美丽与哀愁，描摹植物与美好生活的关系。

他在上海弄堂开过一个“世界上最苦”的凉茶铺，他将讲述广州这片土地上凉茶文化的起源，以及那些出现在街头的被我们视而不见却被喝进肚子里的凉茶植物们。

花草树木，庭前开落，自然之事。自然之事佐以长久的热爱和特别的关照，常可抵达生命的有趣。

Through his lens, plants talk.

From words to images, from finance to plants, Yefei Li was driven by his curiosity and ultimately, became a self-educated botanist after four years of studying. He knows every detail of the plants around us.

He founded Plant Planet, using words and images to introduce the beauty and sorrow of the world of plants and to depict the relationship between plants and a good life.

He has opened "the world's most bitter" herbal tea shop in a alley in Shanghai. He will discuss the origin of herbal tea culture in Guangzhou, as well as the plants of herbal tea that we commonly see yet ignore. 

All plants embrace their natural processes - from blooming to withering. However, only when we focus on and care for nature, we could discover the fun of life.

Professor Donglin Ren is a doctor of medicine, doctoral tutor and a professor of surgery at Sun Yat-Sen University. In 2018, Professor Ren's team used a biological patch material developed from the small intestine of the pig to “repair” the “hole” of a patient's rectum.

In his spare time, Professor Ren loves writing and traveling. He believes that medicine is a science that requires tender care.

生活已经“神经”了，建筑如何追上生活本身？

一个能摸到时代脉搏的新生代建筑设计师，子一左手研究未来的建筑空间，右手研究鲜鲜活活的年轻人。他创立了 [ 野建筑 |  Yeah Archkids ] 建筑设计工作室，最新的概念作品是 [神经城]，一个专为新世代年轻人设计的新生活大型“神经”乐园。

[野 / Yeah] 代表在网络时代下，新世代涌现出的各种各样的“野生”新生活方式，如“不蹦迪会死”，他戏谑的称其为“神经生活”；

[建筑 / Arch] 的态度是：建筑师们不应该去设计别人的生活形态，而应该像 「kids」一样，放低姿态去追逐去研究热爱新生活的人，让建筑像孩子一样变化生长，不停更新。

Life has now gone wild and intense, how does architecture catch up with it?

As a young architect with a thorough grasp of the contemporary era. Ziyi Wang is interested in exploring future architectures while studying on vibrant young people. He founded the [ Yeah Archkids ] architectural design studio. For his latest conceptual work, [Neuro-x City], he designed a cyborg-like paradise designed for the new generation.

[Yeah] Represents a variety of new lifestyles emerging from the new generation in the Internet era, such as "no disco, no life", which he jokingly called "what a wild and intense life!";

[Arch] implies such an attitude: architects should not design other people's lifestyle. Instead, they should be like "kids", with a courteous attitude to pursue and to study the ones who love new life, so the buildings will ceaselessly grow and renovate like a child.
