"The building begins with two bricks and is carefully connected together"

"Wow, these two buildings are completed with simple wooden boards and wooden rods, but it looks good!"

"Yeah, is it made by the master of architecture?"

During this time, on the lawn next to the alumni forest of Zijin Port Campus of Zhejiang University, two unique wooden buildings with unique shapes were quietly standing, looking across the way, attracting the teachers and students to stop and watch, and also attracted the little squirrels held by pine cones. Come to cool, add a fun to Zijin Port in the hot summer.

It turned out that this is the class of classmates completed by the students of the University of Architecture and Engineering, a major of undergraduate students in architecture in the School of Architecture and Engineering of Zhejiang University.

Board device "Building"

Pinger device "Floating Link"

The optimal solution realizes a beautiful connection

The class Ⅱ of "Building Construction Foundation II" is "the actual overlap of two wooden art devices". The 28 students studying this course were divided into 14 groups, of which 7 groups proposed to use wooden boards to build board devices, and in addition The seven groups proposed the rod device built with a wooden rod.

The plate device "Building" looks like a strong structure, but can you think that it is actually derived from a basic unit? It uses the principle of building the Confucian lock. The 24 structures with the same structure are stuck in each other, and eventually form a large construction. "Pillar lock" is "building", and its name "Building" comes from this. "Single and diversified interoperability symbolizes the academic spirit of internal and unified professional categories of Zhejiang University" is the starting point of designing "Building".

The rod device "Floating Link" shows the overall structure of the tension. It has a sense of suspended romance, but it is very stable under the action of the wooden rods. sense. Through 6 4 meters long wooden rods and 24 steel cables, the students constructed a solid and tension as a whole. "The system that pulls each other, just as we are independent and supporting each other with each other, forming history, present and future in the wonderful connection."

Experience the importance of reserving errors in practice

There are many plates used in the board device "Building". In order to improve the processing efficiency, the students of the board set formed a "assembly line", opening, polishing, and punching. Zhou completed the processing of all plates.

"Reserved errors have an important role in the actual overlap of the building" -s in the process of 24 constructing, the students deeply realized this, Yang Qibing, the leader of the board group, and the students of the design group several considerations Error reservations make the actual overlap very smoothly. "When each one builds a complete card connection, every operation is successful, our satisfaction is constantly accumulated."

Before the establishment, the classmates of the board set used the 1:10 model to simulate the order of the construction. During the construction, there were students who specifically explained and guided it. In addition, the reasonable reservation error when processing board was used. The construction was completed in the morning.

The rod device "FLOATING LINK" has made a lot of thought on the basic unit of the overall structure of the tension. The production of ropes, the drilling of wood, and the processing of the lines are completed by the students. The combination of wood and steel cables makes the device have a mechanical suspension and lightness.

In order to make the overall proportion of the device more coordinated, the students combined 4 4 meters long wood into a rod. The increase in weight has caused a great test of the reliability of the nodes at the tension connection. At the same time, the error has also been enlarged. The accuracy of the rod processing has put forward higher requirements, which has failed the first few times of "Floating Link".

The students of the rod group proposed a variety of solutions, trying many connections between steel cables and wood, controlling errors, and finally solving the problems brought by nodes. "With the joint efforts of the teacher, 14 group members, friends next door, and relatives and friends group, support the rods, stretch the steel cables, and transfer everyone’s strength to the structure, and finally complete it!" I think this is a very successful group cooperation.

Everything is possible

From the jurisdiction when I was just learned, to the joy when the results landed, the 28 students in the "Basis of Architecture" gained an unforgettable growth.

Chen Si, the leader of the pole group, regarded the plan as his "child". In the process of the early modification, he felt anxious. Various questions made him worry about whether the plan could be successfully landed, but the team members were active and unreprudible in the event of incidents. The attitude finally overcome various problems, and the difficult process was full of laughter, "full of accomplishment, joy, and friendship ended this journey."

Jiang Fan in the board group initially thought that in a project with more than three people in cooperation in his comfort zone, because he felt complicated and even wanted to give up this course, but when the classmates started cooperation together, he changed his views. Essence Each classmate shows a great enthusiasm and positive attitude towards the project. Reasonable coordination and division of labor make them complete a great workload within 2 weeks. "When we work as a team, everyone is involved in it, and it feels good."

"Basic Building Foundation" is a new attempt for the instructor Wang Hao. It is also a new challenge. How to better integrate the traditional and sustainable building materials -wood into the basic teaching practice of architecture.At the same time as the construction characteristics and material aesthetics, the concept of spreading and sustainable material application to teachers and students and the public is the theme of teaching research that he directly explores."Building starts with two bricks is carefully connected to — the original intention and value of opening the" foundation for architecture "is to allow architecture students to experience the inherent meaning of this sentence."Instructor Chen Xiang said.
