Chapter 366: Did the competition go smoothly?
The challenging topic of this international architectural design competition was announced - to create an innovative design for a library in a culturally diverse neighborhood.
Participants are required to create a library plan within the specified time that not only perfectly integrates the local multicultural characteristics, but also has cutting-edge technological applications and highly humanized design.
After getting the question, Jian Yue took a deep breath, quickly calmed herself down, and devoted herself to thinking.
The brain is like a high-speed engine, starting to search through past knowledge reserves and design experience, thinking about various feasible design ideas.
First, carefully analyze the background of the topic and imagine the scene of the culturally diverse neighborhood.
Different styles of architecture, diverse people and rich cultural activities come to my mind, and I try to draw inspiration from them.
Then, pick up a pencil and lightly sketch a preliminary outline of the library on a piece of scratch paper.
Taking cultural integration into consideration, it was decided to draw on architectural elements from different local cultures in the building's exterior, combining tradition with modernity to create a unique and harmonious visual effect.
Time passed by minute by minute.
The pen in Jian Yue's hand kept dancing on the drawing, and the lines gradually outlined the prototype of the library in her mind.
He frowned from time to time, thinking about the rationality of the functional layout.
For example, when designing the book collection area, a classification and retrieval system was envisioned to facilitate readers from different cultural backgrounds to find books.
And carefully plan the arrangement of bookshelves to improve space utilization and retrieval efficiency.
Sometimes my eyes light up as I get excited by sudden inspiration.
The idea is to set up multiple cultural exchange areas inside the library, each of which is decorated and arranged with a different cultural theme, so that readers can engage in cultural exchanges and experiences in addition to reading.
The students around me were also fully focused on the competition; the only sound I could hear was the rustling sound of pens on paper and the occasional whispered discussion.
Jian Yue was completely immersed in her own design world, and everything in the outside world seemed to have disappeared.
Constantly modify and improve your design, carefully crafting every detail.
From the lighting design of the building to the arrangement of the ventilation system, from the selection of tables and chairs in the reading area to the content planning of the cultural exhibition area, she has considered everything meticulously.
Even lunch was packed and eaten on site.
Jian Yue simply ate a few bites and then quickly returned to her design.
This competition is very important. If I can get a bronze medal or above in the competition, my chances of success in studying for a master's degree at MIT will be greatly improved.
As the game time gradually came to an end, Jian Yue's heartbeat became faster and faster.
I work hard to perfect every detail, hoping that my work can be perfect.
At the last critical moment, the overall color matching of the building was carefully adjusted so that the tone of the entire library can not only reflect the vitality of multiculturalism, but also create a quiet and comfortable reading atmosphere.
The game time is up and Jian Yue breathes a sigh of relief.
Looking at my own work, I feel a sense of satisfaction but also a bit of trepidation.
She didn't know whether her design would stand out, but she knew she had tried her best.
The students have also completed their works one after another, and everyone is expressing their feelings after the competition.
"I feel like I performed pretty well this time, but the time was too tight and I didn't have time to polish some details."
"Yeah, me too, but this time the topic is really challenging, and I feel that everyone's work will be very exciting."
......
Jian Yue listened quietly to everyone's discussion.
Afterwards, we had a meal at a nearby western restaurant.
The warm yellow light shone softly, adding a touch of warmth to this post-match gathering.
The students sat around the dining table, with tempting food in front of them, but their minds were still on the game that had just ended.
Li Muqing was in a bad mood, with his head down, fiddling with the food with the cutlery in his hands.
After a long moment, he looked at Jian Yue and said in a frustrated voice, "Jian Yue, I feel like this was terrible. I was nervous from the beginning and my thoughts were very confused. In the design of the cultural exchange area, many ideas were not well presented. The time was not well managed, and there were problems with many details, such as the lighting design, which was too simple and would definitely affect the overall effect. I'm afraid that the results will be too bad and will affect the future. What should I do..."
Jian Yue put down the tableware, looked at Li Muqing, and comforted her in a gentle voice, "Muqing, don't think like that. The competition is over, and there is no point in worrying. You are actually not that bad. Your idea of arranging the bookshelves is very creative and can improve space utilization, which is the highlight. Everyone is on a tight schedule, and I also didn't handle some details well. The jury considered it comprehensively. This is an experience and we can learn a lot. No matter what the result is, our love for architectural design cannot change. It is also a gain to see so many excellent works and concepts this time."
Li Muqing nodded slightly, his emotions calmed down a bit, and then asked, "So how do you think you performed?"
Jian Yue smiled and said, "I tried my best. The overall layout and cultural integration are OK, but I'm not sure if the technical details are perfect. But it doesn't matter, as long as I tried my best, I'll wait for the results."
There is always a mountain higher than the one you climb. As a newbie, how can you be too confident?
But, I am very satisfied with this work.
The students also joined in the discussion, sharing their feelings one after another.
Beijing.
Jiang Zeyuan sat at his desk, his brows slightly furrowed and his eyes somewhat wandering.
I don’t know how my wife is doing in the United States?
Eat well? Sleep well?
Will there be any danger?
Did the competition go well?
The subordinate was standing in front of his desk, carefully reporting the details of a case.
"Director, this case is quite complicated and involves clues from many aspects. We have already obtained some preliminary information, but we still need to conduct further in-depth investigation..."
The subordinates talked incessantly, but Jiang Zeyuan was lost in his own thoughts and did not fully listen to the subordinates' reports.
There have been a lot of cases in the bureau recently, each of which is related to the safety of citizens and social stability, which makes Jiang Zeyuan feel more stressed.
I have been thinking about how to better deploy police force, improve the efficiency of solving cases, and ensure the security environment in Beijing.
"Director? Director!" The subordinate's voice became louder, finally pulling him back from his thoughts.
Jiang Zeyuan suddenly came to his senses and realized his gaffe.
He glanced at his subordinate with a slightly apologetic look and said, "I'm sorry, I was a little distracted just now. Can you repeat the key points?"
The subordinate smiled in understanding, and reported again the key information of the case and the current progress of the investigation in a concise and clear manner.
Jiang Zeyuan listened attentively, his eyes gradually becoming sharp and focused.
As I listened, I quickly analyzed the information in my mind and thought about my next course of action.
