architectural myopia 建筑短视

Have you ever looked at a bizarre building design and wondered, "What were the architects thinking?" …You might be forgiven for thinking "these architects must be blind!" New research shows that in a real sense, you might actually be right…. 

你是否曾经看到一个奇怪的建筑设计时感到疑惑，“建筑师当时在想啥呢”？或许你觉得“建筑师一定是眼瞎了”，这样想也情有可原。新的调查显示，其实你也许是对的……

Architectural myopia refers to building design that emphasizes distinctive, attention-getting features over practical concerns or simple aesthetics. 

“建筑短视”用来指过于着重与众不同和吸引眼球的特色，而不是实际问题或质朴美学的建筑设计。
