Visit to a Factory

 This week, my friends and I went to a nearby plastic factory(a few miles away) to learn and record the process of making plastic. 

First of all, I was very interested in wood processing (in order to compare the difference between handmade wooden furniture and factory wooden furniture), so I found a furniture factory on the map. But when we got there, we found that this factory and the factories next to it had been relocated. The residents nearby told us that all the processing plants here had been moved to the suburbs for the sake of ecology. Then my friend suggested a visit to a plastics factory she knew.

I got the following program diagram through the field records and sorting out the data. We first went to the first plastics factory in the industrial park, but the staff there told us that their production process was private,  they were not allowed to visit. So we went to a factory next door.

Here, each worker is responsible for one process, and although there are many machines inside the factory, the entire production process is still completely dependent on manual operation. The person in charge of the factory told us that the factory had a system of product responsibility: everyone at each station had to take responsibility for what they produced.

    Also, here are some photos I took from the factory. Because crude oil is purified indoors, the air in the plant is filled with an unpleasant smell of oil.

Yuan Architecture

Image
Retrieved from: https://zhuanlan.zhihu.com/p/556537513 The Yuan Dynasty was the first ethnic minority government to settle in the Central Plains. Its architectural style was unique, but the economic and cultural development of this period was slow (because of the huge damage caused by the war, the production was sluggish, and the building of houses was only for the sake of speed and economy. The aesthetic problems of foreign rulers) architectural development is also basically in a state of depression(Watt, 2010) . The regime of the Yuan Dynasty lasted less than a hundred years, and the development of various industries was slow, as was the construction industry. Therefore, most of the buildings in the Yuan Dynasty inherited the style characteristics of the Song and Jin Dynasties. The official architecture of the Yuan Dynasty continued to develop and progress on the basis of inheriting the architecture of the Song and Jin Dynasties(Qu,2018) , and became more rigorous and standardize...

Final Assignment 1.0 : Big Place, Small Space

Image
 This week's mission is to find a small place and transform it so that wasted space can be used more efficiently. In the choice of location, our group had many differences. After discussion, we finally chose a dead-end road located outside the teaching building. The reason we chose it is that it is surrounded by a lot of traffic, but this space is completely unused. While thinking about the functions it can have, under the guidance of the professor, we have gradually realized other parts that we have neglected, such as the possible impact of the transformation of this land on the nearby (not only beneficial impacts, but also may have a negative impact). Next week, we'll be designing a roof. In this week's task, I was responsible for drawing two elevations. In the process of drawing the space, I had a deeper understanding of the space, and in the process of discussing with my classmates, I also learned a lot of skills and skills that I didn't know before, which has benef...

Chinese Architecture From Qin Dynasty to Qing Dynasty (1.2)

Image
  Colors:  Every color has its own and unique meaning and was used carefully in ancient Chinese architecture.  Purple was the most honorable color in ancient China and the reasons can be found in Chinese history  and religion. According to Taoist legend, the celestial Palace of the Jade Emperor was viewed as a star  near Polaris, which was perceived to be in purple color and located at the center of the universe (  Zhang, 2019). During the Ming and Qing dynasties, China's monarchy reached its peak of  centralization and to symbolize the supremacy of their powers, emperors in that era called the palace  they lived as “Purple Forbidden City”. Yellow was another royal color and it represented dignity and  royalty, and is characterized by fidelity ( Zhang,2019) and the tiles in the middle of the palace roof are  yellow. In the palaces of the subordinate countries of ancient China, Cyan (in Chinese called Qing) was  the most commonly use...
