1 . In 2014，AIA（American Institute of Architects）launched a large-scale awareness-building effort to educate the public about architects' impact on society. Five years later，the Blueprint for Better campaign has become an institute-wide program     1     seeks to connect architects with the public. Through innovative partnerships with the Architecture and Design Film Festival，Wired magazine，and Chicago Ideas Week，AIA has engaged plenty of individuals，ranging     2     working architects to government leaders to school children，encouraging them to design a Blueprint for Better together. The AIA Film chrallenge now in its     3    （five）year，is a good example of success，     4     （yield）   more than 240 documentary short films and hundreds of thousands of people's choice votes. Each summer，filmmakers and architects     5    （invite）to tell stories about the important design work happening in their communities. Winning films in recent challenges have explored affordable housing     6     （solve） in cities like Philadelphia and Los Angeles. Others have shed light on the need to save important     7    （culture）spaces and practices from Cleveland to Hawaii. Films     8    （submit） from around the world have shown how design can overcome challenges related to public health，homelessness，climate change and equity（公平）.

But what about these films really speak to viewers? As     9     audiovisual medium，film is     10    （probable）the only one that comes close to conveying the experience of the built environment. When pictures of the spaces we live in is layered with stories，the power of architecture can be understood in a new way.

2 . You might have noticed that the ringing sound of basketballs was almost like the beat to a song. But did you know that it could be taken seriously as music?

The music group STOMP has taken everyday objects and turned them into instruments. The music it has created is a hit all over the world.

STOMP was formed by British musicians Luke Cresswell and Steve McNicholas. They met in the early 1980s when they were both working as buskers, the British term for street performers. Cresswell and McNicholas were part of a busking group called Pookiesnackenburger that became very popular throughout Britain.

Cresswell was a drummer (鼓手) for the group. Because they performed on the street, he could not set up a traditional drum set. Instead, he wore one drum that hung around his shoulders. To be able to make different sounds, Cresswell began beating on everyday objects that he could find during performances. This creative drumming led to the idea for STOMP.

STOMP made its first public appearance at London’s Bloomsbury Theatre in 1991. The performers used one-of-a-kind instruments, such as empty water bottles, basketballs, and matchboxes to create music. Wearing overalls and T-shirts, they danced around on a stage made to look like a closed warehouse (仓库). STOMP was a great success, winning many theater awards and drawing huge crowds (人群).

In 1994, STOMP came to the United States and played at the Orpheum Theater in New York City. Years later it is still playing there! To celebrate its ten-year anniversary (周年纪念), the then New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg renamed the street outside the theater STOMP Avenue.

STOMP has now toured all over the United States and most of the world. One reason STOMP is so popular is that anyone can enjoy it. There are no words or story. People from all cultures can understand it, no matter which language they speak.

6 . 4 Highly Outstanding Awards in Architecture

Pritzker Architecture Prize

Founded in 1979 by the Pritzker family, and funded by their Hyatt Foundation, the Pritzker Architecture Prize aims to honor a living architect or architects whose built work demonstrates a combination of those qualities of talent, vision and commitment, which has produced consistent and significant contributions to humanity and the built environment through the art of architecture. The annual award includes a grant of US $100, 000.

Architecture Master Prize

Established in 2016, the Architecture MasterPrize (AMP) was created to honor, celebrate and share the very best projects in the fields of architectural design, interior design, and landscape architecture.

8 . The signs appeared practically overnight. They’d been planted everywhere—in front of homes, along sidewalks, around the local high school. Each featured just a few uplifting words in simple black type: “Don’t Give Up,” “You Are Worthy of Love,” “Your Mistakes Do Not Define You.” The high school in Newberg, Oregon, had lost four students and three former graduates to kill themselves that year, so the town of 25, 000 instantly understood the messages.

Amy Wolff had done so, in part, because she’d lost her own teenage brother in an accident about 20 years earlier. It was compassion (同情) for compassion’s sake.

Yet as Wolff saw the deep emotion her sign inspired in her neighbors, she decided to step forward to share her message publicly. Instantly, her inbox was flooded with requests for more signs. Since then, the Don’t Give Up Movement has spread from Newberg to the hearts and yards of people in every state. Wolff charges only the cost of materials and shipping. “It’s a terrible business decision if we wanted to function like a business,” she says.

Chrisanne Moger commented on one of the movement’s posts about the need for one particular sign, “We’re All in This Together.” She thought it would really speak to a world huddling together under the cloud of COVID-19. Wolff agreed, and she received 750 orders within a week of its creation. A mother in Colorado, unable to travel during the quarantine (隔离), contacted the organization after her stepson’s sudden death. “I saw one of your signs recently and it was a touching message from above to hang on.” she wrote.

Aware of the added emotional challenges isolation brings, the Don’t Give Up Movement has since offered to send handwritten letters of support to anyone in quarantine who needs it.
