Travelers who would rather not bed down in architectural museums can now instead stay in some living architecture — or perhaps that should be Living Architecture, the brainchild of Swiss broadcaster and writer Alain de Botton.It's a nonprofit initiative to plant contemporary holiday chalets throughout the country, each designed by a different cutting-edge studio.
實在很難相信，要在英國的鄉下找到除矯飾的小茅屋、陰森森的莊園，或是通風卻馬桶不通的城堡外的其他度假旅館。不想打地鋪在外觀特殊的博物館裡的旅行家，現在有機會可以待在某個現今的特殊建築物中 ─ 或者應該稱它叫 Living Architecture (可入住的建築美學)，由瑞士播報員兼作家 Alain de Botton 所創的名字。這個非盈利性的構想，是要在鄉下蓋出現代感的渡假小屋，每個小屋將由各個不同前衛的工作室所設計。
