| 11 | And managing all of that newfound freedom with all of their also newfound, intense workload. | 并管理所有新的自由 和所有新的,沉重的工作量。 |
| 12 | And certainly, architecture, yes, provides the scope to have loads and loads of workload, | 当然,建筑,是的, 提供了有负载和负载工作量的范围, |
| 13 | but, you know, like anything else, with a little bit of balance and a little bit of awareness, | 但是,你知道,像任何其他, 有一点点平衡和一点点 意识, |
| 14 | organization of the things that you need to do when you need to do them. | 组织你需要做的事情 当你需要做。 |
| 15 | I haven't found this to be completely restricting. | 我还没有发现这是完全限制。 |
| 16 | I certainly haven't found that I needed to put all the lighters. | 我肯定没发现我需要把打火机都放进去 |
| 17 | Expectation number two. | 预想第二. |
| 18 | I thought that I would be designing buildings all day, every day. | 我以为我会设计 整天,每天。 |
| 19 | I thought that over the course of my degree, I would design a hundred different houses, | 我想在我的学位过程中 我会设计一百间不同的房子 |
| 20 | the first one being rubbish and the hundredth being amazing. | 第一个是垃圾 一百个是惊人的 |
| 21 | That is not how it works at all. | 它根本不是这样运作的。 |
| 22 | In actual fact, our projects vary very widely. | 实际上,我们的项目差别很大。 |
| 23 | They tend to have very abstract contexts and have all manner of different constraints. | 它们往往具有非常抽象的背景,并有各种各样的限制。 |
| 24 | In fact, one of our projects last year was not even directly related to buildings at all. | 事实上,我们去年的一个项目甚至与建筑物根本不直接相关。 |
| 25 | We just had to experiment with materiality within the context of a cube. | 我们只需要在立方体内进行物质实验。 |
| 26 | And that was it. | 就是这样。 |
| 27 | Different materials. | 不同材料. |
| 28 | That was just it. | 就这样 |
| 29 | Though this was obviously a surprise and this was not what I expected, | 虽然这显然是一个惊喜, 这不是我的预期, |
| 30 | it is actually a positive thing because it forces us to be more creative in a weird sort of way. | 这其实是一个积极的东西,因为它迫使我们 更创造性地以一种奇怪的方式。 |
| 31 | We're given weird, very niche things to experiment with and then have to produce something that is unique. | 我们被赋予了奇特的,非常特殊的东西来进行实验,然后产生一些独特的东西. |
| 32 | And that is actually more interesting than designing a building every single day, though you might not expect it. | 这实际上比每天设计一座建筑更有趣, 尽管你可能不期望。 |
| 33 | Expectation number three. | 预言三. |
| 34 | I expected that the design process would be really particularly taught and critiqued. | 我期望,设计过程将受到特别的教导和批评。 |
| 35 | I thought I would be sat down and explained this is the process with which you need to design buildings. | 我想我会坐下来解释 这是你设计建筑的过程 |
| 36 | I thought we would be taught about different sources of architectural form. | 我想我们可以学习不同的建筑形式 |
| 37 | I thought we would be taught this is the way in which you need to curate your own ideas. | 我想我们将会被教导,这是你需要 管理你自己的想法的方式。 |
| 38 | As it happens, this has actually so far been a very small part of what goes on. | 事实上,到目前为止,这只占到现在的一小部分。 |
| 39 | The projects actually tend to go by really quickly. | 这些项目实际上 倾向于非常迅速地进行。 |
| 40 | In some cases they only last four weeks. | 在某些情况下,它们只持续四周。 |
| 41 | Then that means we spend the first two weeks just trying to understand it | 那表示我们花了两周时间来理解 |
| 42 | before we suddenly very quickly need to get to a point where we can show some actual finished work. | 之前,我们突然需要 得到一个点,我们可以展示一些 实际完成的工作。 |
| 43 | Before we know it, tutors are demanding floor plans and elevations for designs that I haven't even finished thinking about yet. | 在我们知道之前,导师们要求 楼层图和高架设计 我还没想完呢。 |
| 44 | So the design stage going through iterative ideas actually ends up forming a very small part of that process. | 所以设计阶段通过迭代的想法 最终形成了这个过程的一小部分。 |
| 45 | Which is a bit of a shame. | 有点可惜 |
| 46 | I thought that would be what it was all about. | 我想这就是它的全部。 |
| 47 | I thought it would be all about those napkin sketches and curating those ideas. | 我想这都是关于那些纸巾素描 以及这些想法。 |
| 48 | However, the good side of this is actually it's drilled into us to produce technical drawings quickly and early from the start. | 然而,好的一面是,实际上它钻进我们中间,从一开始就迅速和早期地制作技术图纸. |
| 49 | Whereas if you're working on any creative project, it's so easy to just delve into the depths and work infinitesimally small | 如果你在做任何有创意的项目, 它是如此容易 只是探索深度和工作无限小 |
| 50 | and lose yourself in your work and never actually finish a project. | 在你的作品中迷失了自我 从未真正完成过一个项目 |
| 51 | Whereas this forces us to go from A to B, it forces us to actually finish projects. | 这迫使我们从A到B, 它迫使我们完成项目。 |
| 52 | And that's now become a routine that I'm used to. | 我习惯了这种习惯 |
| 53 | So moving forwards, when we have fewer projects over the entire year, | 所以,前进, 当我们有 减少项目在整个一年, |
| 54 | as will be the case in second and third year, now we've got a bit more honed skill set. | 就像第二年和第三年一样 现在我们有更精良的技能了 |
| 55 | So that was a surprise, but it is actually a positive thing. | 所以,这是一个惊喜, 但实际上这是一个积极的事情。 |
| 56 | Okay, point number four. | 好吧,第四点。 |
| 57 | I expected that everybody's presentations would always be uber particular. | 我希望每个人的演讲 总是很特别 |
| 58 | Everybody would be uber aesthetic and uber focused on complementary colors, matching fonts, all of this kind of thing. | 每个人都是 uber 美学和uber 专注于互补的颜色, 匹配的字体, 所有这些事情。 |
| 59 | As it turns out, that's actually just a thing that I was completely obsessed with. | 事实证明,这其实只是 我完全迷恋的事情。 |
| 60 | There are some people that produce like really, really beautiful drawings, really, really beautiful artistically, | 有一些人,生产 像真正,真正美丽的画, 真的,真正美丽的艺术, |
| 61 | like things that could be works of art in their own right, their own architecture projects. | 就像那些可以成为艺术作品的东西, 他们自己的建筑工程。 |
| 62 | And then it'll just be kind of shoved on a PowerPoint presentation at the end, like very quickly. | 然后它就会被推到 PowerPoint演示文稿的最后, 像非常快。 |
| 63 | They spend all of their time worrying on the content of the project. | 他们花所有时间来担心项目的内容. |
| 64 | So the takeaway from that has been actually, yes, of course, it's important to present professionally. | 因此,从那里取走的,其实是,是的,当然, 职业介绍很重要。 |
| 65 | And so as you move forwards towards professional practice, | 当你走向专业实践, |
| 66 | having like a professional looking presentable portfolio is going to become more and more important. | 像一个专业的外表 现身的组合 将变得越来越重要。 |
| 67 | Equally, that shouldn't be such that it takes away from your entire work itself. | 同样,这不应该 使你从整个工作本身。 |
| 68 | And also, I think that it's important not to get too caught up in strict rules and strict matching straight lines and things. | 另外,我认为,重要的是不要太拘泥于严格的规则和严格匹配的直线和事物. |
| 69 | Point number five. | 第五点 |
| 70 | Going to Cambridge, I expected everybody to be super smart in a really obvious way. | 去剑桥,我期望每个人都 超级聪明的方式非常明显。 |
| 71 | Mathsy, super technical, hardworking, something akin to your stereotypical clever A grade student at secondary school. | Mathsy 超技术 勤奋 和你高中时的 陈规定型聪明的A级学生类似 |
| 72 | Whereas everybody is, like, don't get me wrong, really intelligent. | 而每个人都一样, 不要误会我,真的聪明。 |
| 73 | This manifests itself in a very different way to how I expected. | 这与我的预期大不相同 |
| 74 | So, for example, you get some people that produce really wacky creative ideas that I could never dream of coming up with. | 所以,比如说,你得到了一些 产生非常疯狂的创造性想法的人, 我从来没有想过会想到。 |
| 75 | And they also present it in a way that is just artistically really beautiful, really technical work. | 他们也以艺术上非常美丽,非常技术的方式呈现它。 |
| 76 | Equally, you get other people that do really amazing, complex computer models. | 同样,你还有其他人 做非常惊人,复杂的计算机模型。 |
| 77 | And you get a real balance of people that have everything from being a really in-depth knowledge of classical architecture to knowing, like, relatively speaking, nothing. | 你得到一个真正的平衡, 那些拥有一切的人从 一个真正深入的古典建筑知识到,比如,相对来说,什么都不知道。 |
| 78 | So what that means is you have this huge variation in skill set and in ability in different areas across the entire cohort. | 也就是说,你在整个组别的不同领域的 技能和能力都有很大的差异。 |
| 79 | And so everybody's work is uniquely ingenious. | 所以每个人的作品都是独特的天才. |
| 80 | There's room for people to do whatever you want. | 有为众生作如是事. |
| 81 | And there's much less of this competitive pressure that you get with something like engineering, which is much more specific. | 而这种竞争压力,你得到的却少得多, 比如工程,它更具体。 |
| 82 | So, yes, of course, you're very aware that other people produce beautiful work. | 所以,是的,当然,你非常清楚 其他人生产美丽的作品。 |
| 83 | But I think for me, I like to, I strive that that is inspiring as opposed to intimidating. | 但我认为,我喜欢,我努力做到,这是鼓舞人心,而不是恐吓。 |
| 84 | Studying engineering, there was definitely much more of a competitive feeling between like a competitive angst between different people in the course. | 在学习工程学方面, 在课程中, 不同人之间 有一种竞争的感觉。 |
| 85 | And that's just not the case in architecture. | 建筑学上不是这样的 |
| 86 | So that is a real plus. | 所以,这是一个真正的附加。 |
| 87 | Finally, expectation number six. | 最后,预期6号。 |
| 88 | I expected that my work would be perfect. | 我希望我的工作会完美无缺 |
| 89 | I expected that I would be able to delve into the depths of my projects and go through all of the thinking and the wacky ideas that I had. | 我期望我能够深入探讨我的项目的深度,并探讨我所有的思维和疯狂的想法。 |
| 90 | As it turns out, certainly in this year where we have two projects a term, this is not the case in the rest of the degree. | 正如事实证明的那样,当然,在今年,我们有一个任期的两个项目,其他学位却不是这样。 |
| 91 | But for first year, you have two projects a term. | 但第一年,你有两个项目 一个学期。 |
| 92 | There is so little time to delve into the breadth of different ideas that you might have. | 探索你可能拥有的不同想法的广度的时间太少了。 |
| 93 | It's honestly just more about completing the circle, completing the process of going from getting briefed, analyzing your brief, understanding it, coming up with the design idea, coming up with a proposal and then presenting it. | 老实说,更多的是完成这个圈子, 完成从得到简报,分析你的简介,理解它, 提出设计设想, 提出一个建议,然后提出它的过程。 |
| 94 | So far, it's been much more about completing that process than it has been about analyzing how we go about designing, how we go about finding our sources of architectural thought. | 目前为止, 完成这个过程比分析我们如何设计 如何寻找我们建筑思想的来源要多得多。 |
| 95 | I do appreciate why it's like this, certainly in first year, because it's so much about building those core skills. | 我理解为什么它是这样的, 肯定在第一年, 因为它是如此多 建设这些核心技能。 |
| 96 | And with any sort of creative project like this, it is so easy just to go and work indefinitely into like an infinitesimally small nooks and crannies within your work and never actually get to a completion point. | 这样的任何创意项目, 都很容易在你的作品中像无限小的角落一样 无限期地工作, 并且从来没有真正到达完成点。 |
| 97 | So I'm kind of glad that it's literally hammered into us from the start that we're just forced to get to the end. | 所以,我很高兴它从一开始就被撞到了 我们被迫走到最后。 |
| 98 | We have to be able to submit something to actually get a grade, actually pass our degree and move on forwards with the years. | 我们必须能够提交一些东西 真正获得一个等级, 真正通过我们的学位 并随着岁月向前发展。 |
| 99 | But it is a shame that we don't get to really go and delve into the depths of our work. | 但可惜的是,我们没有真正去探索我们工作的深度。 |
| 100 | And that was definitely something that I didn't expect. | 这绝对是我没想到的。 |
| 101 | I expected to be able to design something and like give it my absolute all, whereas it's not that I don't. | 我期望能够设计一些东西, 并喜欢把它绝对的, 而不是我没有。 |
| 102 | I can't give it my personality, but there definitely isn't space or time for me to totally create something that is really like my own intense work. | 我不能给它我的个性, 但绝对没有空间或时间 我完全创造的东西 真正像我自己的紧张工作。 |
| 103 | Thank you so much for watching. | 谢谢你的观看 |
| 104 | I hope that sheds some light onto what it's like studying architecture. | 我希望这能为研究建筑 提供一些启示。 |
