看到这个题目的人可能会想:“阅读”,为什么用“阅读”这两个字呢?去年初秋,当我接到阿卡·汗建筑奖委员会寄给我的邀请信,请我去参加他们主办的第七次国际学术讨论会——“阅读非洲当代的城市”——时,我就是这么想的。 People who see this topic may think: “Reading”, why use the word “reading”? In the early autumn of last year, when I received an invitation from the Aka Khan Building Prize Committee, I invited me to attend. The seventh international symposium they sponsored, “Reading contemporary cities in Africa”, I thought so.
