Chapter 623: The Architecture Department's Top Student
Is this what they call the top student in the architecture department?
That’s too bad, right?
Even if you don't study architecture, you can still draw such drawings.
The first student to go on stage had the strongest reaction.
No wonder Tan Chen was able to draw two drawings in such a short time. If I were to draw something as complex as his, I would probably be unable to complete it just like him.
"Master, I don't think this is design at all."
Master Ma Jinkun raised his eyebrows slowly.
"Oh? Then what do you think is considered design?"
The student picked up his design again and said, "Master, no matter how big or small the land is, the design must have its own creativity. If everyone is like Tan Chen, simply drawing a familiar pattern, that is not design at all."
As soon as he finished speaking, another student said, "Master, I agree with this student. We study design to create something unique. So, I think that design drawings like Tan Chen's are completely unnecessary in the architecture department classroom."
Many students agreed with the two people's views and nodded as they listened to them.
Ma Jinkun looked at Tan Chen, who looked calm and composed.
"how do you say?"
Tan Chen spoke calmly, "First, I calculated the area of this land. It's 210 square meters in total. Not counting the area occupied by the wall, after the three main rooms are built, there will still be dozens of square meters left in the yard. At best, we can build two smaller gatehouses in the front."
As he spoke, he looked at the first student who came up to the stage to give a presentation: "Excuse me, what is the area of a room in the courtyard-style building you designed?"
Without waiting for the student to answer, Tan Chen continued, "I just did a preliminary calculation. The average net area of the room is less than 4 square meters, and the cost is at least 10,000 yuan.
Just ask yourself, who would buy such a small plot of land and spend more than 10,000 yuan to build a courtyard house?
The student who was questioned by Tan Chen was suddenly speechless. He was really careless. He only wanted to show his skills in front of Master Ma Jinkun, but he actually ignored the area of this residential land.
His face flushed red, and he silently looked down at the drawing which he thought was perfect.
Most of the students made the same mistake, thinking only about making themselves stand out without considering anything else.
However, it was this eagerness to show themselves that made them completely miss the opportunity to become Master Ma Jinkun's last disciple.
Tan Chen's remarks were exactly the topic that Master Ma Jinkun would later criticize some of his classmates about.
Since Tan Chen had already started, he continued, "Do you think that architectural design is best as long as it is exquisite?
Wrong...very wrong. I remember that I specifically reminded everyone to design the drawings according to proportion, but you were just eager for quick success and instant benefits to show off, without considering the actual environment at all.
Speaking of the real environment, I would also like to say that the country trains you in the hope that there will be more outstanding talents serving the public in the future. According to our current economic situation, how many people can come up with such a high budget to build a house?
Don't forget that the key to architectural design is to adapt to local conditions. Just like what Mr. Tan said, if you design 14 houses on 210 square meters of land and remove the yard, how much area is left for each house?
In addition, when we design for others, we must take into account their own conditions, including population and economic conditions.”
After hearing Master Ma Jinkun's words, most of the students lowered their heads in shame.
They were indeed too eager for quick success and instant benefits to consider these external conditions.
However, there were a few people who had the same idea as Tan Chen, but the proportions of their drawings were not very accurate, and the structure of the house was much worse than what Tan Chen drew.
Master Ma Jinkun announced without surprise that the only student who passed this small test was Tan Chen.
Those who had originally dismissed the design drawings drawn by Tan Chen now looked at him with envy.
At the same time, there was a big change in my thoughts.
No wonder Tan Chen became a top student in the Department of Architecture. He is just smart. It seems that he is the only one who can become Master Ma Jinkun's last disciple.
After receiving the approval of Master Ma Jinkun, Tan Chen walked back to his seat calmly.
Master Ma Jinkun looked at the time.
"I will come to teach you again in three days, so I plan to give you an assignment today.
I took on the construction project design of a residential community in Pengcheng, with a total area of 8,000 square meters.
I would like to ask students to design a blueprint for the entire building based on their own ideas.”
