1389: Architect Thinking (4 More)
"Who will commission us to design the commercial plaza?"
Lyle secretly pinched the flesh on his stomach. It is impossible for him to get a better chance than Jonathan just because he is fatter than Jonathan.
The requirements for architects in the United States are very strict, and no one will hire students to work, no matter how cheap the students are.
"Assumptions, just hypotheses. Don't let reality kill our imagination. Do you want me to find you a suit so that you can feel a sense of substitution?"
After Xia Xiaolan finished speaking, Lyle sucked her stomach hard.
Oversized clothes are very common, and there are also oversized suits. Lyle imagined it with his eyes closed. He must be good in a suit!
"OK, please design a commercial plaza, what kind of plaza?"
Richard asked.
Xia Xiaolan paused, "A commercial plaza that sells electronic products, what do you think it should be like?"
"electronic product--"
"Computer? Audio?"
"Almost, maybe a little more complicated."
Xia Xiaolan directly moved the electronic accessories market that Du Zhaohui was going to build.
Instead of this design, she can appropriate the concept.
If she really designs the accessories square in the form of completing her homework, Du Zhaohui will not abandon it. Du Zhaohui may not adopt her design, but he must pay attention to her planning opinions on the whole project.
The more detailed Xia Xiaolan described, the more interested Richard and the three were.
At first, the three of them were reluctant to complete half of their homework, but if there was a better choice, they were willing to do it again.
Adventure is for sure.
If you don't want to take any risk, just take a from McCarthy's hand. Professor McCarthy agrees, and the former top students who have lost half of their hair also disagree.
"If it is a commercial plaza, where is its address?"
"In a place as different as Ithaca and New York, the foot traffic is definitely different..."
"Does it only sell electronics?"
Are the three of Richard really losers? Xia Xiaolan didn't think so. They may only be students majoring in architecture, but because Cornell has such a big devil as Professor McCarthy, Richard and the three think that their professional skills are not outstanding, and it depends on who they are compared with.
They are studying the strongest undergraduate architecture major in the United States, no matter how bad they are, they have also exercised a little architect's thinking!
A qualified architect is either immersed in drawing or starting from the big picture.
What you are painting, you must be aware of it.
If nothing else, can the commercial plaza built in New York be the same as the one built in Ithaca? Differentiated by the flow of people, the squares built in New York should at least make the safety passages larger - in the event of a fire or stampede, it is also convenient for people in the mall to escape!
The idea is not very auspicious, but this is architect thinking.
Of course, architects who do not have the right to speak may be beaten back by the client if they design this way, and make the safe passage wider and wider, which is a waste of usable area... Will the architect give in? The architects of Huaguo have no autonomy, they can only succumb to the obscenity of the client, and a good design is beaten back and revised beyond recognition.
But American architects will really confront the client's father!
The United States is vast and sparsely populated, regardless of the high crime rate, pornography and drugs, the strange thing is that they value the personal safety of every American citizen. No matter how tough the client is, it is not necessary to follow the architect's design. It's impossible to have a safe passage, it's illegal, and it can't be built at all, okay?
Architects have such a status, and it is normal for architect offices to bloom everywhere.
This profession really requires strong professional quality. Xia Xiaolan's theory of crowding in circles can resonate with the three of Richard, because they also understand their own career prospects and push hard to become the best in the construction industry. By!
Now, Xia Xiaolan asked them to fantasize in advance.
Lyle sucked on his belly, as if he had already entered a big office.
Richard is also striving for better performance. He fantasizes about himself as a newcomer who has just joined the firm and urgently needs this big project to prove himself.
Daisy was also sweating on the back of her head, for fear that she would not perform well in the office.
As for the role-playing, everyone played it very emotionally. Xia Xiaolan explained the basic conditions, and Richard and the three gave their opinions one after another.
"For electronic products, it's better for shopping malls to be designed with a sense of technology?"
"Square, diamond, or circle?"
"Why does it have to be one building, can't two or three be side by side..."
"With the flow of people like New York, the underground parking lot should be prepared at least four floors!"
Brainstorming is a good way, Xia Xiaolan wrote down everything everyone said, "This is the overall plan, now let's talk about this work, we will split this commercial plaza into several parts, and treat the main building as this work, do you have any questions? Opinion?"
"Why split?"
"Because there's not enough time! And because we want to give Professor McCarthy and our competitor Jonathan a little surprise, waiting to be presented together at the end of the term."
It's only halfway through the semester, so what's the hurry!
The big move is released without holding back?
Richard's freckles moved, "Well, I agree with Xia's, don't worry, let's take your time and hand in the best homework."
...
Xia Xiaolan and the team members did half of it
The homework was overturned and reworked, and Ning Xue was not idle.
Heidi thinks that Xia Xiaolan's group is absolutely impossible to surpass them, because they have Jonathan in their group.
"Ning, what are you nervous about?"
Even if Xia Xiaolan has great professional ability, it is impossible to drag the three of Richard to run forward, and the whole group will get a.
Ning Xue shook her head, "Xia Xiaolan and I have been classmates for a year and a half. Anything in her hands will turn from impossible to possible. It's okay that she didn't say it. Once she says it, she will do her best."
Jonathan stopped counting:
"I really want to see with my own eyes how strong she is going all out. If we don't even have an opponent, our group will not be able to progress."
Jonathan is arrogant, but he's not defiant.
After working with Ning Xue for two months, Jonathan has recognized Ning Xue's strength.
Others thought that Ning Xue was Heidi's roommate, so Jonathan took Ning Xue to run together, but this was not the case at all, Ning Xue was capable.
Don't fall behind, don't hold back, you can help.
On the contrary, Heidi is the one with the lowest strength...
Ning Xue valued Xia Xiaolan so much, how could Jonathan ignore his opponent. Just take Richard three to get a? Unless Xia Xiaolan really has the strength of A+, even Jonathan has to put in 200% of his efforts to do this.
Heidi was a little uncomfortable.
Jonathan believed in Ningxue, but didn't he believe what she said?
He couldn't remember whose boyfriend he was.
Heidi suddenly became in crisis, and she pretended to be relaxed: "You guys are too nervous, the people in the school are betting on this matter, but I put a week's living expenses on our team to win!"
