建筑学生常见的10种错误
The 10 Common Mistakes Architectural Students Make

由专筑网李韧，杨帆编译

对许多人来说，都有一个建筑师的梦想，尤其是那些对艺术感兴趣的人。因此，学习建筑学是世界上许多人的追求。如果你是其中一员，你必须注意大多数建筑学生都曾经遇到的状况。


1、因为错误原因而选择建筑学

如果你选择建筑作为主修专业，是为了获得一份有声望的工作，而不是因为你喜欢画画、素描、设计，那么你很快就会意识到自己犯了一个巨大的错误。建筑需要长时间的学习和工作，只有当你喜欢研究色彩、图形、线条与空间时，它才是有趣的。如果你不喜欢自己做的事情，选择这条路会让你觉得困难重重。


2、动手之前考虑太多

大多数情况下，人们在开始他们的项目之前往往会花大量的时间来准备，然而，你必须意识到不要把时间浪费在准备想法上。项目时间拖延太久，只为了得到完美的想法，这是一个巨大的错误，这可能导致由于后期时间仓促从而最终无法将项目表达完整，另一方面，知道如何正确地管理时间将有助于你设计和完成脱颖而出的项目。


3、设计能力不足

良好设计的基本要求是创新、有趣和平衡。如果你提交的是一份看起来排版漂亮，但是设计上却十分普通的作品，你就不要期望得到高分，老师希望你做出富有想象力的创新设计，这样才会使他们刮目相看。如果缺乏设计能力，那么建筑和艺术便不适合你。此外，过于简单的结构和思路也并不是个明确的选择，因为这不会给你展示技能的空间。相反，要专注于多维的设计思路及表达方式，这样才能从芸芸众生中脱颖而出。此外，设计出一个均衡的作品是一个巨大的挑战，但这可以通过花时间钻研你的方案来轻松实现。


4、展示你的弱点

没有人是完美的，我们都有自己的弱点，随着时间的推移，我们也在进步。然而，你必须知道如何避免自己的弱点，从而把它们变成自己的优势。通过大量的练习和了解如何提高能够达到这一点。


5、遇到瓶颈

老师通常希望看到的是你随着时间的推移而逐渐提高自己的能力。一直处于瓶颈阶段而不寻求突破，这并不是一个正确的选择。


6、一遍又一遍地重复工作

大多数建筑学学生都有追求完美的特质，这可能导致他们不止一次地重新开始工作。如果他们对自己取得的每一个结果都不满意，这将阻碍他们的进步。在许多情况下，这些项目在开始时看起来“很普通”，而有时效果却十分惊人。所以，不要掉入追求完美的陷阱，应当努力完成你未完成的计划。


7、模仿其他作品

模仿他人作品的学生不仅有时表现欠佳，同时也缺乏原创性，甚至还有剽窃一说。除非老师要求你抄绘大师的作品，在平时的设计中，需要尽量保持自己的风格，不要随意模仿。


8、花很多时间在设计说明上

如前所述，在完成设计时学习如何正确地管理你的时间，而不是花太多的时间在与设计无关的内容上，这一点非常重要。设计说明是评估工作和交流概念与想法的必要条件，然而，你更加需要把重点放在规划和设计上。


9、欠缺的表现能力

毫无疑问，设计是在视觉层面上进行评估。因此，对你的方案进行出色、精炼的表达十分重要，它能够表明你的设计思路与逻辑思维。


10、拖延

拖延是建筑学专业学生常见的习惯，也是他们面临的主要障碍之一。时间是规划和设计项目过程中必不可少的组成部分，因此一定要学会正确的管理。


Being an architect has always been a dream for many people, especially those interested in arts. Accordingly, studying architecture is pursued by many people around the world. If you are one of them, you have to watch out for these common mistakes made by most architectural students.

1. Studying architecture for the wrong reasons
If you chose architecture for being a fun subject or for securing a prestigious job, and not because you enjoy drawing, sketching, designing and planning, you would soon realize that you have made a huge mistake. Architecture necessitates studying and working for long hours and it can only be fun when you enjoy playing with colors, forms, shapes and lines. If you do not love what you do, choosing this path will make you suffer a lot.

2. Take more time before starting
Mostly, people tend to take a vast amount of time in preparing their ideas before starting their projects; however, you have to be aware not to waste your time in preparing the idea only. Postponing the project for too long for the sake of getting the prefect idea is a huge mistake that might result in a hurried, last-minute submissions of flimsy projects . On the other hand, knowing how to manage your time properly and beginning to work early will help you to develop and refine stand-out projects.

3. Producing weak designs
The essential requirements for a good design are being innovative, interesting and balanced. If you submit a poor, cheesy work that is overly pretty and looks cheap, do not expect a good mark. The examiners expect you to produce imaginative, innovative designs that will make them sit up and take notice. Failing to design interesting and clever concepts is an alarming sign that architecture and arts are not for you. Additionally, resorting to simple structures and designs is not a good idea, as this will not give much room to show off your skills. Instead, focus on complex compositions in order to stand out. Furthermore, producing a well-balanced designs might be a challenge, but this can be attained easily by giving more attention to composition.

4. Showcasing your weaknesses
No one is perfect, we all have our weaknesses and we are improving over time. That’s OK. However, you have to know how not to display your weakness, but turn them into strengths. Practice a lot and learn how to use distracting mechanisms by flaunting your own strengths.

5. Having difficulties in development
What examiners usually want to see is your ability to develop and improve over time. Producing work that does not develop at all sends negative signs about you.

6. Restarting your work over and over again
Most architectural students have the trait of seeking perfection and that might lead them to restart their work more than once. If they are not satisfied by every result they gain, this will hurdle their way towards improvement. In many cases, these projects that seem “weak” at the beginning, end up to be amazing designs. So, do not fall into the trap of seeking the ultimate perfection, and complete your unfinished projects.

7. Imitating other work
Students who imitate work of others not only show that they are not qualified and that they lack originality and interest, but they will also be committing plagiarism. Unless you are asked to draw from second-hand resources, imitating designs is one of the gravest mistakes.

8. Spending much time in annotation
As mentioned earlier, learning how to manage your time properly and not spending too much time before really working on your project is of great importance. Annotation is necessary for assessing work and communicating concepts and ideas; however, you have to set your priority and put your fullest energy in planning and designing.

9. Weak presentation
Designs are undoubtedly assessed on the visual level. Therefore, an excellent, refined presentation of your work matters. It can show that you are organized and committed to your work.

10. Procrastination
Procrastination is a fatal common mistake among architectural students. It is one of the main obstacles facing even highly skilful students. Time is an essential component in the process of planning and designing your project, so manage it properly.
