10 Types of Architecture Students

由专筑网严越，韩平编译

建筑系学生有很多相似之处，没了咖啡活不了，热衷收集纸盒做模型，拿学校专科教室当家，吃饭睡觉改方案。所以专教就像一个微缩社会，囊括了十种可爱的建筑生类型。

Architecture students have a lot in common. We share a long-term committed relationship with coffee. We share an instinctive urge to collect random cardboard boxes for model-making. We share a university studio which, over time, becomes our ‘home away from home’. As we get to know our fellow students, however, we learn that the architecture studio hosts a micro-society of ten different, but lovable, characters.



全方面发展型选手是所有人向往成为的，做事迅速高效，有规律。每项方案都准备了充足的案例书模型手稿，以应对任何的项目。

The ‘all-rounder’ is perhaps the student we strive to be – prompt, efficient, and organized. With a loaded arsenal of models, drawings, and books, no assignment is safe. The ‘all-rounder’ is ready for any situation.



唯分数是从的学生会不停的向导师演示自己的方案，在他们看来，交流的越多，分数就会越高。虽然有时不尽人意，但是他们还是为了优异成绩单不断奋斗前进。

The ‘running for marks’ student is a strident believer that the more they present their work to a professor, the more likely they are to break down the walls of skepticism. It can be frustrating at times, but one cannot help but watch is admiration as Mark showcases the same process model for six weeks.



“全勤奖得主”永远是那些哪怕一大波方案提交截止正在来的路上，仍风雨无阻地抢前排。此类学生在建筑专业是一个特殊的存在，同学经常联系他（帮忙代签到）。

The ‘full attendance’ student will take a front-row seat at every lecture, whatever the weather. Even with looming portfolio deadlines, this dedicated student acts as a solo representative for their stressed colleagues, and hence a valuable point of contact.



全勤奖得主旁边总会坐着“十万个为什么”，会在长长的讲座的最后关头，提出一个发人深省的问题和老师深入地探讨。好奇心不会害死猫，但是这份好奇心可害惨了想去抢着买咖啡的同学们。

The ‘always questioning’ student typically sits beside the ‘full attendance’ student. In a two-hour lecture, they can’t help but wait until the last minute before creating an in-depth, reflective dialogue with the professor. Curiosity didn’t kill the cat, but it did kill everybody’s hopes of beating the lunchtime coffee queue.



永远不来上课的学生也是专业里的先锋，因为一周里三天的课都没出现过，对他们的描述都只存在在传说中。当然也有一种说法这类学生纯属虚构。

The ‘always absent’ student is a pioneer of a new architecture degree, typically three days per week, part-time. There isn’t much to say about this student, due to their consistent absence. In extreme cases, rumors spread throughout the studio that this student only exists in the imagination, ‘Fight Club’ style.



“geek”是人群中的一颗新星，我们只能站在一边惊讶他们渊博的专业知识，和对于建筑领域永无止尽的探索精神。只要一台合适的电脑，他们就能走向科技，创新卓越。

The ‘geek’ student is a rising star. We can only stand in awe at their commitment, knowledge, and endless drive to explore as much of the architectural world as possible. With a laptop not out of place on the Starship Enterprise, this student is piloting the profession towards technological, innovative excellence.



对大多数建筑系学生来说，专业课是全天无休的。但是对一部分人，他们总有时间参加各种课外活动，参加陶艺制作，折纸课程，摄影交流会。他们常在建筑中表现出这些看似疯狂的课外爱好。

For most architecture students, a day consists of twenty-four fully-booked hours. Therefore, the ‘extra-curricular’ student urgently needs to explain where they find time to attend pottery workshops, origami classes, and photography society meetings. There is method in the madness however, as this student always finds a way to express these interests through architecture.



自嗨式学生就像专科教室的钢铁侠，有天马行空的想象，混乱的时间表和五花八门的“提神药”。这类学生可能24小时任意时间里去影院贡献票房，但是可能导师看到的方案是飞行航母。

The ‘all time high’ student is the Tony Stark of the studio, with a wild imagination, chaotic schedule, and of course, alternative medical supplies. Young entrepreneurs could sell box-office tickets to the ‘all time high’ student’s crit, such is the intrigue around how professors will react to the idea of a flying aircraft carrier.



“如有天助”深晓团队任务的艺术家，打着全队分数一致的小算盘，他就安稳的坐在一旁监工，让组员累到半死。

The ‘always has help’ student has mastered the art of delegation, much to the frustration of their colleagues. Having made the calculation that all group members are given the same grade, this student elects to be the ‘observer-in-chief’.



灵感借鉴者很像“如有天助”式的学生，他们借鉴的不是别人的成果，而是整个设计过程，最后的设计往往是其他所有的好点子的大杂烩。如果他借鉴了你的点子，那是可能他对你设计的赞美。

The ‘idea borrower’ is a distant relative of the ‘always has help’ student. The ‘idea borrower’ doesn’t just delegate their tasks to others, they outsource the entire design process. The end result resembles a ‘greatest hits’ of everybody else’s ideas, which is not only frustrating but often unconvincing. We can only assume it is their way of complimenting your ingenuity.
