《INTJ》
Date: 08 November 2024

The MBTI personality test labels architects as INTJ, but can a single label truly define them?

Architecture is always a team effort. It involves moving from the introvert "I" to the extrovert "E" to lead teams effectively. While "N" stands for intuition, it needs the grounding of "S" for practical solutions. Design is a balance between logical "T" and emotional "F", crafting meaningful works within rules. You might think architects just need the organized "J", but the fast-changing market also calls for the adaptable "P" to adjust plans quickly. There is no perfect personality combination for an architect. Like you and me, we are unique yet continuously evolving.

The cinematic rock-styled band Nowhere Boys, together with their lead singer Van Chan who is also an architect, composed music for the Hong Kong Institute of Architects.Architect Amy Chan wrote the lyrics for this new song called "INTJ". The song and its music video were specially made to celebrate the Institute's 68th anniversary.

嘗試高空 俯瞰風景
市中心找到軌跡 在合併
遺留下 經典數不清

矛盾挑剔 一再分析 
建築不需要解釋 想公平
將方向設定 筆鋒先更出色

為了 走進世界 畫上千次 空白亦細緻
原來讓  夢想青春燒光 先會發現
過去都市繼續蛻變 把握每次能遇見
從來未 放棄計劃 專心於每一天

為了 打破界線 又試一次 衝動或理智
人潮中 捕捉舒適空間 簡約概念
繁榮在鬧市 能遇見 黑暗後有光線
實現藍圖要 數十年 繼續試

牆已甩色 長滿荊棘
建築不依靠裝飾 用耐性
圍城內 框出的風景

無數方式 不去修飾
拍一張風格清晰 太過鮮明
將光線折射 化做一抹光影

為了 走進世界 畫上千次 空白亦細緻
原來讓  夢想青春燒光 先會發現
過去都市繼續蛻變 把握每次能遇見
從來未 放棄計劃 專心於每一天

為了 打破界線 又試一次 衝動或理智
人潮中 捕捉舒適空間 簡約概念
繁榮在鬧市 能遇見 黑暗後有光線
實現藍圖要 數十年

誰亦試過 徹夜未眠 放棄過又食言 
相信 woo ooo woo
嘗試過信念動搖 今晚星光普照  woo ooo woo
攜著燈光 搜索半天
誰在漆黑 雙眼望見

一再去試 在這都市 生活是創意
能成功 幸福舒適空間 簡約概念
隨時代驟變 仍在線 不理外界挑戰
實現藍圖要 為未來重演

裝嵌拆卸 又再衝刺 希望未會變
平常心 面對有形無形或缺點
朦朧着視線 仍望見 轉角就會發現

燈光穿得透背面
玻璃滲着暖
