"Yumi, are you packed? ”

Kyris, who came out of the other room, asked Yumi, who was packing her belongings in the room.

"Alright, alright, alright. Yumi replied as she hurriedly packed her luggage.

Cariss, a native of Seattle, USA, studied at Harvard University in her early years, and later met Yumi for various reasons, after all, these two people are two of the most famous people in Harvard University, because they yearn for each other, thinking about who they are, they can actually get along in Harvard University, so both of them have admiration for each other, so they are looking for opportunities to meet each other, and finally, at the school sports meeting again, the two met.

When they met for the first time, the two had a feeling of sympathy for each other, and then they were easy to get along with, and they felt that each other was very good, so they often got together, and over time, the relationship between the two became deeper, and the two became more and more tacit, so as soon as Yumi returned to China, he invited Caris to come to China to play together.

Kalis, 23 years old, studying in the Department of Ancient Architecture at Harvard University, really has a unique insight into architecture: for the history of architectural development and the large number of architectural talents who have contributed to the cause of architecture, she introduces the famous architectural school and its representative works, and expounds some of the author's own views and opinions. Origin of Architecture In the field of architecture, it is still generally believed that the word "architecture" was introduced from Japan in modern times. For example, in the Encyclopedic Dictionary of Chinese Civil Engineering and Architecture, published in 1999, the entry for "Architecture" reads: "In ancient China, the construction of houses and related civil engineering activities were collectively referred to as 'construction' and 'construction', and the word 'architecture' was introduced into Chinese from Japan. Previously, in 1997, the publication notes of the second volume of "Jianyuan Shiying" had clearly pointed out: "During the Ming and Qing dynasties, the term 'architecture' became popular in a wide area.

Therefore, the word 'architecture' does not come from Japan, but was coined by our ancestors, and there is ample historical evidence in this regard. It is mainly based on the Qing Dynasty's "Ancient and Modern Books Collection: Fang Yu Compilation of Workers' Dictionary", photocopied by Zhonghua Book Company in 1934. First, the above-mentioned "Ming and Qing Theory" was written in the publication notes of "Jianyuan Shiying" and was not taken seriously by the people, or they were not seen; second, no one went to the sea to find a needle in the tens of thousands of volumes of "A Collection of Ancient and Modern Books" to check the origin of the word "architecture."

Today, we are able to re-understand the origin of the word "architecture" and correct the "Japanese theory", thanks to the hard work of the editors of the book "Jianyuan Shiying". The development history of architecture Clothing, food, housing and transportation are the four major problems in human daily life, and living is inseparable from housing, and building houses is one of the earliest production activities of human beings. As early as in primitive society, people used tree branches and stones to build nests to avoid wind and rain and wild beasts, and began the most primitive construction activities.

With the continuous development of society, houses have long gone beyond the scope of ordinary residence, and the types of buildings are becoming more and more abundant; construction technology is constantly improving, and the image of architecture is changing dramatically with each passing day. Primitive humans first inhabited caves, such as the "Ape Man Cave" in Zhoukoudian, Beijing. There are also records of nest dwelling in ancient Chinese literature.

With the development of agriculture, humans began to build simple houses with natural materials such as earth, stone, grass and trees. This kind of construction activity transforms the natural environment into an artificial environment suitable for habitation, and promotes the development of human society. Not only does she have a unique understanding of architecture, but she also has a deep understanding of the history and knowledge of architecture, and her designs are more commendable. On the west side of Seattle, on the west side of Edri Square, there is a great project she once designed, which is still known as a pearl in Seattle, and it is conceivable that Cariss's contribution to architecture is so great.

The spiral of the sky, as if to penetrate the sky, to glimpse the mystery of heaven, the majestic palace corridor stretches to the far end, and all you can see are dazzling enamel painted window lattices and lifelike marble reliefs, like Rodin's hand, like Michel's soul, like Leonardo da Vinci's aura, like Raphael's free and easy...... The structural system of Gothic architecture was developed from the criss-cross arches of Roman churches, skeleton coupons, and spire coupons used by the Arabs in the 7th century, with the mature use of flying buttresses. It uses the solid thick walls that support the weight of the vault in Roman architecture (more than 60 cm in Roman times) to the joint use of columns, flying buttresses, pointed coupons and ribbed arches perpendicular to the roof, thus greatly reducing the thickness of the wall and giving it a very exquisite artistic treatment.

It was very high and bright, a light blue patch, and everywhere it seemed like a small Venus was falling. This light made the white jade bridge railing whiter, and the yellow and green glazed tiles and the various colors on the buildings were darker and more distinct, like a freshly painted painting. The golden dome of the small white pagoda glows with a golden light, bringing all the beauty of the sea to the sky. Heading north along the small road, you will come to the school building.

It is a unique three-storey red building. It is a "U" shape, its advantage is that the shape is beautiful, generous, each classroom can maximize the lighting - the designers are really ingenious! It is a strict inspector who reminds students of the beauty of the appearance at all times. Walking through the spacious and tidy corridor and entering the classroom, you can see the "study column" carefully arranged by the students posted on the snow-white wall, and the 6-square-meter glass blackboard in front of it is jet black and clean, and the tables and chairs with elegant and simple colors are intact......

There are 30 spacious and well-lit classrooms in this building, as well as biology laboratories, specimen storage rooms, listening rooms, physics and chemistry laboratories...... The newly built Liuhe Activity Camp for Shanghai children is located on Liuhe Island in my hometown, Tanghang. Antique activity buildings, bright and spacious dormitory buildings, small and exquisite canteens, etc. constitute a unique architectural complex, and the quiet magnolia forest, ginkgo forest and camphor forest, the rippling blue waves of the new Liuhe and the old Liuhe River, constitute a fascinating and beautiful scenery, the fountains are really various, there are water columns rising from the ground, there are diamond-shaped net-like water curtains clustered around the water columns, there are cloud-shaped water balloons, accompanied by pleasant, The beautiful sound of music, with the pitch of the voice, vibrating twenty-four trumpet-shaped splashes, the five-pavilion bridge is composed of five pavilions, the five pavilions are connected, the big pavilion sits in the center, and the small pavilions around it surround it symmetrically. There are fifteen round holes under the Wuting Bridge, the round holes are connected, and the cruise ships come and go freely.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, fifteen round holes reflect fifteen rounds of moon like jade plates. From a distance, Wuting Bridge looks like a delicate water palace, and up close, Wuting Bridge looks like a huge lotus flower blooming on the blue lake, and there are many such chic streets and alleys in Suzhou City: long, thin, zigzag and curved. The gravel pavement, after the night dew sprinkled and washed by the spring rain, looks smooth and shiny. Next to it, often lies a small river, also long, thin, meandering and meandering. The surface of the water was alive and smooth, and when the wind blew, it rippled softly, as if someone was quietly shaking the turquoise silk. Every twenty or thirty steps, there is a small bridge. There are small bridges with shrugged shoulders, delicate stone bridges, small brick bridges and small wooden bridges with painted railings, and the Post and Telecommunications Building is a solemn and beautiful edifice.

At the top is the bell tower, which is wrapped in metal copper plates and painted with green lacquer. A large chiming bell with black letters on a white background is set high above the bell tower. At the top of the bell tower is a towering flagpole with a five-star red flag fluttering in the wind. Standing on the towering bell tower, you can overlook the panoramic view of Shanghai. Underneath the bell tower is a plaque inscribed "Serve the People", which glistens in the sun. Eighteen tall, stout, and hard granite prisms support the eaves, which is very majestic. Further on, the road separates up and down, and the middle lane slowly descends, stretching out to the opposite side, from south to north, like a rainbow, high in the sky.

Underneath the long bridge, there are 12 pairs of concrete piers on each side, like giants, with powerful legs spread out, guarding the bridge. A trolleybus with two pigtails darting ran at its feet. Walking into the bottom tower door of Qinfeng Pagoda, take a closer look, the wooden strips on the door are gray-white, and they are covered with dense sesame-sized holes. The sides of the door are zigzag with square brick corners. When you enter the tower, you can hear the chirping of birds, and the birds are frolicking and chasing each other on the top of the tower.

This is a paradise for birds! Look up, there are broken logs on each floor of the tower. It is said that each floor was originally paved with wooden planks and stairs, allowing people to climb to the top of the tower and see the whole town. Nowadays, it is empty of wood, however, the tower is still indestructible and stands majestically. This kind of spirit is what we need and carry forward! When we come to the main bridge, the railing is milky white. Fifteen poles stand on the bridge deck, each of which is equipped with four cup-shaped lanterns, like upside-down teacups. The milky white lampshade and the blue sky reflect each other, and it looks very harmonious. I think that at night, these lights glow with a soft golden glow, which will surely make the bridge even more beautiful, as if draped in a golden veil. The bridge has fast lanes and slow lanes. The fast lane is twelve meters wide and can accommodate four trucks running side by side. Vehicles speed past here and rush in all directions. On both sides of the bridge stand mighty stone lions, like guards, regardless of the wind and rain, faithfully guarding the bridge, adding a bit of majesty to the bridge. Adults and children living in Jingcheng know that there is a strange well to the north of the Dongmen vegetable market. It is made up of four small wells, so people call it "four-eyed well". The wellheads of these four small wells are distributed on a square stone slab. People pass by this place and have to go over to see it, and they think it's very novel.

This building combines the knowledge of Chinese and Western architecture, but it is no exaggeration to say that this is the most successful Chinese and Western architecture in the world so far, it not only uses Western building materials, but also combines Chinese architectural art, such as those beautiful buildings in Suzhou and the kind of palaces where ancient Chinese emperors rested and worked. Yes, that's right, and this building is more like Chinese architecture, it's like a Chinese building, and if this building wasn't born in the United States, then you wouldn't know that this is a combination of Chinese and Western architecture.
