2017-1-6 新闻中关于浙江大学建筑学专业学霸 胡一捷的报道中有如下一段自我叙述: 我正在申请国外很多名校的建筑学专业。我对建筑学有很清晰的思考。建筑综合了理科、人文以及艺术,同时又汇集着哲学、逻辑以及社会学。建筑,由于其学科本身复杂宏大的特性,在学习的过程中,能给我自身价值观、思维方式的形成带来极大的帮助。建筑关乎于历史与未来,关乎于人类与土地,建筑蕴含的这种集大成的世界,让我决心用一生在其中探索,乐此不疲。 我们家妹妹在她申请大学的文章中,有类似的几段话: As a fast-kinesthetic learner, I find the architectural balance between STEM and art perfect. It’s real hard to believe, however, the notion to pursue an architectural career hadn’t dawned on me sooner( 普通 申请 论文开场白)。 Like a tree building up its layers of rings, I learn from each class I took and each activity I participated: what I loved, what I hated, and everything else in between. Staying at MICA, I remember thinking that I could do architecture for life. With architecture, I discover a fine line between sciences and humanities that combined my interests with my knack for the hands-on experience and drive to solve problems. This program not only brought a sense of challenges I am used to, but also engendered an innate motivation that I wished to experience again and again, in refining the outline of space and bettering the times we live (普通申请论文结束语)。 A combination of my love for science, art, culture, and the hands-on experience led me to love the applications of architecture and engineering to solve pressing environmental issues such as sustainability through energy conservation( 申请 耶鲁大学补充材料)。 建筑学专业是大学学科中的苦行僧,别人本科一般是四年,建筑学专业是五年,而且 数理化 文史哲画画样样精通,挣的钱又不比别人高。所以除非特别有兴趣,未必都能够坚持下来。可是通过自己的设计和作品,在形体上改变世界,看得见也摸得着,就有很大的成就感。林语堂说,趣是人生第五需要,寓兴趣于工作,把玩当作职业,或许才是建筑学的真谛。
