Chapter 622: Take the exam right away?
Ma Jinkun didn't say much. After introducing himself, he casually drew a rectangle on the blackboard and marked the corresponding lengths on the four sides.
"Imagine this is a piece of vacant land with the length marked on it. Please design a blueprint for a house based on this proportion.
Maybe time is short, so I can ignore the details for now, but I must see the outline."
Many students are questioning, isn’t the master here to teach them?
What does it mean to take an exam right away?
Tan Chen didn't think much about it, picked up the pen and paper and started drawing.
The area of vacant land provided by Master Ma Jinkun is not very large. He believes that with such a large area, if the population is small, three main rooms can be built in a regular manner. If the population is larger, gatehouses can be built on both sides of the gate.
Since he had two plans in mind, Tan Chen simply drew two and marked the two situations.
After all, it was a design drawing submitted on short notice, so Tan Chen did not draw it in too much detail, just making sure the general outline was understandable.
Master Ma Jinkun stood at the podium. Although he didn't say anything, his eyes were always lingering on everyone's actions.
It has to be said that after helping others design, decorate and build houses for some time, Tan Chen has learned a lot of experience, and his drawing speed is much faster than others.
Not only that, the proportions of the drawings he drew were very precise, allowing people to understand them at a glance.
Although the other students are all very good, they are still far inferior to Tan Chen.
Because of this, Master Ma Jinkun's gaze lingered most on Tan Chen.
He didn't expect that there would be such outstanding talents in the Department of Architecture of Kyoto University.
When the allotted time was up, Master Ma Jinkun called a halt.
"Time is up, everyone please put down your pens."
Many students had already completed their drawings, but some were a little slow in thinking and had only drawn a rough outline of the pattern. Despite this, they obediently stopped and all looked at the master on the podium.
After all, there are only twenty students who can take his class, and Ma Jinkun plans to comment on each of them one by one.
He asked the students sitting in the front row to come to the stage to explain.
The first student who gave the explanation was a little annoyed. In order to impress Master Ma Jinkun, he deliberately drew a more complicated design.
From the outline of the completed part, it can be seen that he designed the land into a structure similar to a courtyard house, with houses on all four sides. However, the yard looks barely big enough for people to walk around.
“Master, the land you mentioned is not very large, but if it is built according to my design, even a family of four generations can live there.
It’s a pity that my design was not completed on time. If I had more time, I could have drawn some details of the house, and it would have been more perfect.”
After this classmate introduced his work, Ma Jinkun did not express his opinion immediately, but looked at the classmates sitting in his seat.
"His design has been explained, and everyone is free to express their own views and opinions."
They are all top students, and they are very enthusiastic when they hear the master ask them to speak.
"Master, I think his design is too expensive."
“Also, the yard is too small, which reduces the sense of space.”
“Is this a miniature courtyard house?”
Everyone expressed their opinions.
Ma Jinkun nodded slightly: "Well, the problems you mentioned do exist."
After saying that, he gestured for the student to return to his seat first.
Other students also came to the podium one after another with their own design drawings and shared their design concepts with everyone.
Although their design drawings had some flaws, this did not affect Tan Chen's ability to learn from their strengths and overcome their weaknesses. At the same time, he also deeply realized that there were many things he could not imagine in architecture, especially in design drawings.
Soon, it was Tan Chen's turn to go on stage to give a lecture.
"I designed two blueprints in total. Because the land area is small, I think the simpler the house structure, the better. Of course, I also consider individual differences. If it is a family of three or four with two generations, I think three rooms are just right. If possible, a utility room can also be built on the east side of the yard.
If the family has more people, such as three generations or more than six people, you can consider building a gatehouse on the east and west sides, which is simple and neat.
At this moment, no one noticed that Master Ma Jinkun's eyes showed satisfaction for the first time, but it was only a fleeting look.
"Classmates, tell me what you think of this student's drawing."
Everyone looked at each other, with disdain in their eyes.
