旅行的目的，是去感受了解不同的城市歷史、自然、建築和空間。讓正在學習建築的學生們去看世界，特別是他們在書本上看過的建築非常重要。我希望通過旅行，學生們能有新的發現和創新，特別是情感上的觸動和啟發。
——馬巖松
“Travelis for exchange – to understand different cultures, people and places. It is important for students to see the world and experience the architecture they have been studying. My hope is that through these cultural exchanges, students will see new things, experience something emotional, and generate new ideas that will help kick start their architecture careers.”
Following the successful 2017 expansion of the “MAD Travel Fellowship” to include international students, MAD officially launches the 2018 global program. This 8th edition will support the travels of five undergraduate / graduate architecture students from across globe so that they can conduct field work and further research into their architecture topics of interest. Ma Yansong will select the candidates who will propose their travel destinations of choice, aligning with their thesis topics. We are now opening the call for applications for the 2018 MAD Travel Fellowship.

2017 第八屆MAD旅行基金回顧
2017 MAD Travel Fellowship Review
2017年，來自意大利、伊朗、希臘、哥斯達黎加、蘇格蘭的五位國際學生，以及來自中國的五位學生，獲得了MAD旅行基金資助，全部旅程橫跨10個國家44個城市。學生們也獲得了MAD的約見協助，拜訪了著名建築師赫曼•赫茨伯格、袁烽等。
For the 2017 edition, the fellowship was extended to include five international students from Costa Rica, Greece, Iran, Italy, and Scotland who travelled to China to explore the deep culture and tradition in architecture and urban planning of the country; while Chinese students travelled abroad. As we kick-off the 2018 program, we look back on the travels of the 2017 MAD Travel Fellows who collectively visited 40+ cities in 10 countries; and through MAD’s assistance, met with famous architects in their studios, including Hermann Hertzberger, Philip Yuan, among others.
易喆，美國耶魯大學
研究課題：建築的“新穎”性
目的地：日本
自述：可能是因為土地有限的原因，日本對於空間、距離的把控，無論是建築之間、還是人與建築間，總是恰如其分。每一寸土地、空間的規劃都經過嚴謹推敲，界限、距離總是合理、讓人覺得舒適。在東京，基礎建設與建築之間的共生關係看似原生態的隨意，但卻看得出一切都恰到好處。
Issy Zhe Yi, Yale School of Architecture
Research Topic: Newness in Architecture
Destination: Japan
Testimony:Maybe because of the limited allowance of space in Japan, the sense of distance is insistently maintained, among buildings, people and simultaneously between buildings and people. Infrastructure and architecture in symbiosis in such a brut but articulated way can’t be found anywhere other than Tokyo. Every inch of land is measured and every sliver of space is layered with a kind of calculatedness, with the clarity of boundaries heightening the sense of distance and alienation.
李啟濰，北京建築大學
研究課題：極權統治下的社會主義建築
目的地：俄羅斯、烏克蘭、白俄羅斯、格魯吉亞
自述：蘇聯建築表達了一種意識形態的夢想，在蘇聯相對短暫卻動盪的歷史中，一種令人著迷的意識形態。人們避開了沙俄社會的衰落，人們同時拒絕的還有沙皇十分喜愛的新古典主義建築。在共產主義的極權統治下，出現了眾多的藝術實驗，成為了開放的前沿陣地，尤其是建造了眾多科幻的公共建築。這些建築讓我向往。
Li Qiwei, Beijing University of Civil Engineering and Architecture
Research Topic: Futurist Architecture in the Former Soviet Union
Destinations: Armenia, Georgia, Russia
Testimony: Though it had a short, and turbulent history, Soviet architecture presented an ideological dream. Travelling through the former Soviet Union, I observed the numerous artistic experiments that emerged during the rise of the Stalin period, and witnessed architectural masterpieces and public buildings that express a sci-fi aesthetic – construction that looked to the future.
魏唐辰希，東南大學
研究課題：英雄、建構與魔幻現實體
目的地：荷蘭
自述：上個世紀，荷蘭人總是興致勃勃充當建築英雄“鬧革命”：荷蘭先鋒派，蒙德里安，阿姆斯特丹學派，鹿特丹學派… 以及如今庫哈斯，MVRDV… 他們興奮地衝上舞臺，義正言辭批判前輩，拋出諸多試驗品…成功地推進了世界建築的進化。反觀中國，英雄氣短。因此，去體驗擊退了“不朽”的“不朽”，去捕捉與紳士“英雄思潮”的優勢，是我熱血澎湃的初衷。
Wei Tangchenxi, Southeast University China
Research Topic: Hero, construction and magic realism
Destinations: France, Spain, The Netherlands
Testimony: During my visit to The Netherlands, I experienced a dynamic energy and realized that space, not just limited to architecture, has the ability to make a city more dynamic and harmonious, and empower humans and the way they engage with their surroundings and one another. There were so many occasions where I saw people just enjoying the public spaces they were in, basking in the sun, lounging on the park grasses. They created a scene full of artistic vitality, and allowed me to reflect on the cozy lifestyle of the inhabitants of this wonderful country.

研究課題：日本建築，一種傳統與現代的連接方式
目的地：日本
自述：日本作為西方中心主義之外的一個文化和藝術的高地，總是可以一種擁抱西方敘事的姿態，闡釋源自東方的雅趣。因為並沒有將目標侷限於現代建築，因而交替參觀的傳統和現代建築總呈現出一種對照的趣味。其中印象最深的有等持院和司馬遼太郎紀念館中相似的遊走於自然的意味，三十三間堂和京都國立美術館中共同具有的對水平性的追尋，葛北齋紀念館和平等院都表現出的對周邊環境的謙遜等。
Wen Zishen, Tsinghua University
Research Topic: Japanese architecture: A Traditional and Modern Connection
Destination: Japan
Testimony: Japan is a cultural and artistic highland that embraces Western narratives, while maintaining the philosophies of the East. Through my travels I investigated how Japanese architecture exists between modernity and tradition, finding interesting comparisons and correlations between the two. Some of the impressive ones were the Sima Ryotaro Memorial Hall, Sanjusangendo Temple, Kyoto National Museum of Art, and Sumida Hokusai Museum. The faint parallels between these buildings led me to see another connection between tradition and modernity – one that goes beyond the pictograph.

吳有，普林斯頓大學
研究課題：建築的視覺呈現及闡釋
目的地：葡萄牙，西班牙
自述：西班牙建築是薈萃了哥特式及阿拉伯式的風格，承載了豐富的製作、材料及象徵意義，同時也映射著文化浸染。參觀了例如科爾多瓦的清真寺的建築，讓我看到了西班牙建築中“衝突”的存在，也讓我認識到了建築在消解的同時，同時也是在建立一種秩序。
Wu You, Princeton University
Research Topic: The visual interpretation and translation of architecture
Destinations: Portugal, Spain
Testimony: Spanish architecture is a site of cultural and tectonic knowledge borrowed from both Christian high gothic and Arabic styles. It stores immense knowledge of making, material and symbolism, layered with cultural references. Visiting such historic works as the Great Mosque of Cordoba, I noted the theme of confliction present in Spanish architecture, which allowed me to see that architecture is just as much about establishing order as it is about dismantling it.

Federico Fauli （意大利），英國建築聯盟學院
研究課題：中國兩河的二分法
目的地：北京、成都、鳳凰、廣州等
自述：在一個月的中國旅途中，這個急速發展的國家的文化和身份認同引發了我的思考。我對於當地美學，拼貼建築及建築紀念碑性的興趣，讓我特別去關注那些嘗試定義多重文化及民族屬性的中國建築，它們往往是被記憶及身份屬性而驅動。
Federico Fauli (Italy), Architectural Association
Research Topic: The dichotomy of China’s two main rivers: the Yellow River and Yangtze River
Destinations: Beijing, Chengdu, Guangzhou, Guilin, Hong Kong, Xi’an, Zhangjiajie, Zhengzhou
Testimony: My travels through China raised questions of culture and identity in an extremely rapidly developing country. Driven by my interests in local aesthetics, the notion of collage architecture and monumentality, I was able to look in particular at cultural objects and artefacts in a way that attempts to define a multicultural and multiethnic architecture in China – one that is driven by memories and identities.

Hossein Goudarzi（伊朗），美國新墨西哥大學
研究課題：伊朗、中國的鄉土建築分析及對比
目的地：北京、上海
自述：通過觀察傳統中國鄉土建築以及他們不同材料、尺度及形態的存在，我探究如何可以將鄉土建築的核心價值運用到現代建築的建造中。
Hossein Goudarzi (Iran), University of New Mexico
Research Topic: Analyzing and comparing the vernacular architecture of Iran and China
Destinations: Beijing and Shanghai
Testimony: Studying the traditional styles of classical Chinese architecture and how they can be constructed with different elements, scales and shapes, I observed how we can take the vernacular, rewrite and redefine it as a valuable conceptual source to form new constructs of contemporary architecture.

Kyrioki Goti（希臘），德國斯圖加特大學
研究課題：建築中自然與科技的關係
目的地：北京、上海、蘇州
自述：我到過的每一個城市的建築、景觀生活方式都很不一樣，但是我發現到它們間的相似之處：自然在中國的生活中的重要性。自然與科技的和諧共存，讓我思考通過創新一流科技與傳統材料和建築方法的結合，建築師可以創造新型的景觀，不如自然景觀相媲美，而是互相補充。
Kyrioki Goti (Greece), University of Stuttgart
Research Topic: The relationship between nature and technology in architecture
Destinations: Beijing, Shanghai, Suzhou
Testimony: Each city I visited was diverse in terms of architecture, landscape, and lifestyle, but through their differences I saw a constant – the importance of nature in everyday Chinese life. Seeing the harmonic co-existence of nature and technology made me realize that by combining traditional materials and construction methods with cutting edge technology, architects can create new kinds of landscapes that do not compete with the natural ones, but complement them.

Roberto Vargas Calvo （哥斯達黎加），聖約瑟真理大學
研究課題：中國城市聲音及感官氛圍分析
目的地：北京、上海
自述：我們怎麼設計和我們設計什麼同等重要。我們每天所看、聞、聽、觸、嘗的一切都應是創作的起點。通過這次旅行我認識到感官體驗之於設計和批判性思維可以是轉折點。
Roberto Vargas Calvo (Costa Rica), Universidad Veritas, San José
Research Topic: Analyzing the sounds and sensorial atmospheres of Chinese cities
Destinations: Beijing, Shanghai
Testimony: The way we design is just as important as what we design. What we see, smell, hear, touch and taste in our everyday lives should be a starting point for every creative process. Traveling has made me realize the importance of the sensorial experience as a turning point for design and critical thinking, and how to use this toolset to define a new role for the architect in the 21st century.

Shaun McCallum（蘇格蘭），維也納應用藝術大學
研究課題：建築物的消費性
目的地：北京、廣州、西安等
自述：從北京的央視大樓到長城，中國的建築似乎都被冠以象徵性——兩者分別是遠古及更靠近近代的“過去”的遺址。每一座建築物成為了記錄那個時代的好奇心和奇蹟的載物。
Shaun McCallum (Scotland), University of Applied Arts Vienna
Research Topic: The consumerism of the architectural object
Destinations: Beijing, Guangzhou, Tianducheng, Xi’an
Testimony: From the CCTV Headquarters in Beijing to The Great Wall, China appears to be consumed by the symbolic qualities of architectural objects. The nature in which these two worlds collide – the remnants of historicism and the remnants of cities yet to be completed – is a testament to its fascination with the architectural object as it undergoes rapid development.
