The turmoil at the remote city recycling station has passed for the time being. Some time passed. One day when Yonghan was at work, he received a call from Yingyang: "Yonghan, the new building here has been under construction for a while. I designed it to be built against the mountain. Come and take a look when you have time."
Yonghan and Yingyang are old friends. Yonghan replied happily, OK, will you treat me this time?
Ying Yang: "Please."
"It turns out that near your office building, every treat is fast food for less than 20 yuan. Hey, do you have anything delicious over there?"
"There is a buffet here, which is much more upscale."
Yonghan saw Qu Fei and invited her to sit at the company's tea bar and said, "On the weekend, are you free to visit the buildings in Yingyang?"
Qu Fei said: "Okay, let's go shopping."
"The main reason is that the buildings there are more distinctive. They are built against the mountains. You can walk back and forth between the buildings and the mountains."
At this time, another lady also came over. Qu Fei introduced that this is Jin Qiu, an environmental management staff member. "We are now using cyclones in the city to clear smog. Four large air outlets are placed at four locations in the city. Wind is generated in the middle, and wind is generated in the center of the city to blow away the smog."
Yonghan said: "Don't you have to blow directly to one side?"
Jin Qiu said: "Generating a wind whirlpool and controlling its walking direction can allow it to move the haze to a designated location and use a filtering device to absorb the pollutants."
Yonghan said: "What is the difference between a typhoon, a hurricane and a cyclone?"
Jin Qiu said: "It's just that they have different names in different regions. The northwest Pacific is called typhoon; the North Atlantic and Eastern Pacific are called hurricanes; the South Pacific and the southern Indian Ocean are called cyclones; the Bay of Bengal and the Arabian Sea are called cyclonic storms. Typhoons are different from tornadoes, which are instantaneous. The outbreak lasts no longer than a few hours. It is usually accompanied by a typhoon. The biggest feature is that when it appears, there is often one or several elephant trunk-shaped funnel-shaped cloud pillars, accompanied by violent wind, rain, thunder and lightning. Tornadoes When it passes through the water, it can absorb water and rise to form a water column, and then connects with the clouds. It is commonly known as the dragon taking water. When it passes by the land, it often rolls down houses and even sucks people into the air."
Yonghan said: "Then what is the difference between this man-made cyclone and a typhoon?"
Jin Qiu said: "About 80% of typhoons can produce heavy rains with daily rainfall exceeding 50mm after entering the mainland, and a small number of daily rainfalls can reach more than 200mm. There are several super heavy rainstorms with daily rainfall of more than 1000mm in this city, which are affected by typhoons. Related. Man-made cyclones have a relatively small impact on rainfall."
Ying Yang and Jin Qiu met at a college debate competition. There were several confrontations. A debate question: "Does architecture focus on form or function?"
It is generally believed that form and function are equally important. The Yingyang theory emphasizes form, while the Jinqiu theory emphasizes function.
Ying Yang: "First quote some famous quotes. I believe in buildings with emotions. The life of 'architecture' is its beauty. This is very important to human beings. If there are many solutions to a problem, the one among them will give It is architecture that conveys beauty and emotion to users. ——Louis Barragan. Architecture, this is the highest art, which achieves the Platonic sublimity, mathematical laws, philosophical thoughts, and the sense of harmony produced by emotional coordination. .This is the purpose of architecture. - Le Corbusier.”
Jin Qiu: "What is the profession of an architect? Directly speaking, it is the creation of buildings to solve the problem of food, clothing, housing and transportation for society. - Liang Sicheng."
Ying Yang said: "Liang Sicheng also said: Indirectly speaking, it is a recorder of culture and a mirror of history. The personality of Chinese architecture is the character of our nation, a special part of our art and thought, not only in its The structure itself is just a matter of material and method. - Liang Sicheng. Architecture is solidified music. - Goethe."
Jin Qiu said: "Architecture should meet people's most basic needs. Shopping malls are for selling goods, residences are for users to live in, libraries are for people to read, non-inhabitable buildings should be made into public buildings, and public buildings into residential buildings. The most important thing You still have to realize the function first, and then you can show your talents. We cannot live or study in a leaky building."
The second debate topic is "Is architectural symmetry or asymmetry more beautiful?"
It is generally believed that modern architecture should be "asymmetrical". Ying Yang chooses "symmetry" and Jin Qiu chooses "asymmetry".
Jin Qiu said: "Asymmetry is a fundamental attribute of objective things, while symmetry is produced in stages of development. Asymmetry is a general situation. Architecture pursues beauty and does not need to pursue symmetry."
Ying Yang said: "Symmetry is beautiful. China likes the symmetrical line of the central axis very much. Royal palaces, public buildings, Buddhist and Taoist temples, and ordinary houses are all distributed strictly according to the central axis: from the building group to the layout of one room, there are hidden The central axis reflects the beauty of balance, stability and order.
Jin Qiu said: "Architects are also artists. They break through the limitations of symmetry and boldly try asymmetrical designs in architecture, which has many unexpected effects and surprises. Just like ancient gardens, they are basically asymmetrical and more natural. The art of architecture is to be shown to everyone as much as possible. Asymmetry can show two kinds of beauty, but symmetry only shows one of them. Aren't you wasting half of your resources?"
The third debate question: "Is architecture more natural or artificial?"
It is generally believed that man-made and natural have their own differences. Jin Qiu chose "favoring artificiality", while Ying Yang had no choice but to choose "favoring nature".
Ying Yang said: "You didn't say you wanted function at first, but later you said architecture is art. The second time you said you wanted natural beauty, but now you choose "favoring artificiality"?"
Jin Qiu said: "Haha, the relationship between various debate topics is not the focus of this debate. You digressed, and it is a waste of time."
Ying Yang said: "Wright emphasizes that architecture should become a basic harmonious element of the earth like plants, subordinate to nature. He believes that every building should be a specific site, a specific purpose, a specific natural and material conditions and The product of a specific culture." American architect Wright founded and advocated the theory of organic architecture, which is different from modernism that emphasizes the extensive impact of industrialization on architecture. Wright's Fallingwater is an outstanding example of organic architecture.
Jin Qiu said: "The questions that architecture should answer include: how to meet the functional requirements of modern production and life; how to cooperate with industry and science and technology; how to adapt to new social and economic conditions, etc. Architecture should be created with artificiality as its core, Give full play to people’s artistic talents and imagination.”
At that time, I felt that Jin Qiu Bingxue was smart and articulate. Although Ying Yang was confident of winning at first, after a few rounds, the opponent overcame him and was even pushed to the ground.
