Have you faced any barriers in your career due to being a woman? If so, how did you overcome them?
作为一名女性,您在职业生涯中是否遇到过任何障碍? 如果有的话,你是如何克服它们的?

我认为自己很幸运,在我的职业生涯中拥有数位导师,不论男女,他们都鼓励并推动我以无所畏惧的力量去追逐我的目标。我当然也面临过一些障碍,但我总能得到身边的人对我的支持,以坚韧和优雅来帮助我跨越这些障碍。
I consider myself lucky to have had several mentors throughout my career, both male and female, who have encouraged and pushed me to chase my goals with unapologetic force. There have certainly been barriers, but I’ve had the support to navigate and cross them with strength and grace.

What’s your favourite/most rewarding part of your work?
在工作中,你最喜欢或最有价值的部分是什么?

我所遇到的人、他们的才能,及一起创造愿景的体验。我很荣幸能与这样一支令人难以置信的团队合作。我喜欢见证项目从稿纸上的寥寥数笔到建成后开门营业的过程。看到整个过程并见证团队从始至终的热情和动力,真是令人惊叹。
The people, the talent, and the visionary experiences that are created. I feel privileged to work with such an incredible team. I love seeing projects go from the drafting table to welcoming guests. It’s amazing to see the process and witness the passion and drive of the team from start to finish.

What inspired you to pursue a career in architecture? 
促使您投身建筑事业的契机是什么?

儿时的旅行激发了我对空间及其特性的好奇心。建筑学的跨学科性质促使我将创造力与解决问题相结合。我对建筑的热爱源于它塑造生活和社区的巨大潜力。我在印度长大,很多时候我们拥有的空间十分有限,这就促使我对创造引人入胜的环境十分向往,无论是公共还是私人空间。建筑师能够将无形的情感具体提炼为有形的结构,正是这种神奇力量推动我走上了这条道路。
Travels as a child engaged my curiosity about spaces and their identity. The Interdisciplinary nature of architecture allows me to merge creativity with problem-solving. My love for architecture stems from its potential to shape lives and communities. Growing up in India where space is limited for many, I’m always intrigued to create engaging environments, whether public or private. Architects’ power in materializing intangible emotions into tangible structures propelled me onto this path.

How do you see the role of women in architecture evolving? 
您如何看待女性在建筑领域的角色演变

我们的前辈为我们在这个体系中争取一席之地已经不懈奋斗了多年。而我们的责任就是放大我们的声音,重新定义规范。女性角色的演变代表我们要致力于设计超越物理结构的空间,即要能拥抱多元经验、观点和才能的空间。如今,居于领导职位的女性在不断增加,这一趋势不仅会改变建筑行业的工作场所,也会对设计语言和空间身份造成变革。

What female figures, historical or contemporary, have inspired you the most? 
哪些历史或当代女性人物对您启发最大?

扎哈·哈迪德。想到她所从事的行业主要由男性主导,她所取得的非凡成就则更加令人瞩目。她饱受争议,而她的男性同行却可以独善其身。面对种种质疑和挑战,扎哈选择迎难而上,硬是通过累累的建筑成果,摆脱了人们对她“啥也建不成”的标签与嘲讽。她的故事不仅激励着建筑师,也激励着每一位心怀梦想的职业女性。
Zaha Hadid. Her extraordinary accomplishments were even more remarkable considering she was working in an industry largely dominated by men. She was often subjected to controversies that her male counterparts were not. Despite all the doubts and challenges, Hadid has gone from being the architect ‘who never got anything built' to someone who can't stop building. Her story is truly inspiring for not just architects but all women in the professional world.

How do you see the role of women in architecture evolving? 
您如何看待女性在建筑领域的角色演变?

女性在建筑业中的角色正在发生积极的变化。在过去的五年中,尽管男性仍然占据着五分之四的关键职位,但女性在大型建筑公司中担任高层职位的比例确实翻了一番。随着越来越多的女性成为专业人士,并接受行政管理培训,我们迟早会实现进一步的平等,使女性对建筑的影响和贡献得到认可。
The role of women in architecture is evolving positively as the percentage of women in top position at major architecture firms has doubled over the past five years despite men still occupy four out of five key roles. With more women becoming professionals and being trained for senior and executive
management, it’s only a matter of time before we achieve further parity and recognize women’s influence on and contribution to architecture.
