[海外建筑生活] MIT建筑系

前些日子和版大聊天,他让我写点关于mit的情况.　趁着寒假的尾巴,随便介绍点.
mit的建筑系分为marchI　marchII　和Smarch,　分别是三年半,两年半和两年.
前两这都是naab认证的,也就是说毕业以后可以考注册建筑师.　smarch比较特殊,分为五个方向,你必须选择一个,分别是　urbanism,　computation,　theory&history,　building　technology, visual arts.

规模比哈佛,耶鲁都要小很多,一个年纪一般25个人左右.　mit建筑系的华人极少极少.像marchI,　marchII几乎没有华人的,因为国人很少转专业申请,　smarch每年会有一个中国学生(当然我相信还是有些人拿到了offer选择了其他学校).
总体来说,smarch很自由,随便怎么选课,March　I　和March　II　就很惨了.　我在的是marchI,(我没有建筑背景)一天平均大概就是睡眠3-4个小时,这个平均时间是因为有了周末每天可以睡五到六个小时拉上来的.其实平时睡的更少,不睡就不说了,睡的话经常是凌晨五点或者六点回去,随后还要赶回来上九点的课.
很疯狂.已经有一个同学退学了.　老师很负责,　每周花在你的身上的时间非常非常非常多.　这点很好.

我和smarch的同学交流下来,还是觉得如果可以选择的话,还是选择marchI　或者marchII比较好.　因为smarch其实被没有进入一个教学计划中去,虽然说是自由了,但某种程度上说也是被忽视了.当然,看你看重的是什么,比如你是smarch的也有更多的机会去选media　lab的课----因为相对而言空很多咯.　
张永和现在的改革已经受到了系里的广泛好评,改革我这年是第二年.班里会有一半以上的同学都是在gsd和mit之间选择来的这里.(不过当时gsd没有给我这个选择的权利),这点可以看出,mit和gsd在价值观上应该还是存在不小的差别导致了这样的选择,或许奖学金也是一个重要原因.　张觉得美国的整体教育严重脱离了现实,所以他的教学方针会更务实,更脚踏实地些.　他大批的挖墙角(对不起了,其他兄弟学校),招纳中青年有丰富实践经验的优秀设计师.　不过,当然,因为到后面有很多studio可以选,你想走非线性,狂野路线也当然是ok的.　我只是说,在这点上,mit和现在美国的主流建筑系还是蛮不同的.　

教学上,所有的课都是以studio为中心,因为班级小,所以不同的课程的老师之间开始建立了一个紧密的联系.　比如理论课,会牵涉到现在studio的project的东西,design　skills也会做关于studio的东西,甚至包括drawing的课.　随后评图的时候也会请到其他课的老师一起来拼图,当然也包括building　tech的老师.　

换句话说,每门课不再是孤立的了,而是整合在一起了.
其次,我想说的是氛围,我觉得这应该是mit学生最值得自豪的事情.　互相帮助的气氛很好.　比如在deadline之前,大家已经通宵了一两天了,在最后一个晚上,我还有很多东西没完成,一个美国同学完成自己的东西后会再熬一个通宵来帮我做模型.　比如,老师在评我图的时候,会给出很多意见,我英语差,每次,同学都会帮我做笔记怕我听不懂.　这样类似的事情太多了,到期末复习的时候,理论课由于英语的关系,对我还是比较头疼,他们复习的时候就会叫上我,这样可以带一带.　不多举了.　

另外关于钱的事情,据我所知,来的所有人除了有一个以外,都是拿到免学费一半以上的,并且没拿到的人第二年也有很大机会拿到.　随后学校的奖学金是保证整个学习时间的,而不是单单第一年.　海外的studio当然也很多,假期也都有很多海外workshop,费用都是包来回机票和住宿.

不过,有点很重要,这里真的很变态,学习.来的话想清楚,个人生活肯定是没有的.　我们反正也有两个同学想转学了.　不过听说第二年睡眠时间可以上升到平均五到六个小时.

产品随想 | 陪读《乔布斯传》：1-17章

乔布斯经典照片集 坐在麗莎電腦旁。他說：「毕加索曾說：「好的藝術家懂得模仿，佛大的藝術家善於偷取。」因此，窃取偉大的點子沒有什麼好羞耻的。 與蓋茲在電話中達成協議：「比爾，謝謝你支持蘋果。因為你的支持，世界將變得更美好。」 1997年蘋果在波士頓舉行的麥金塔世界大會，蓋茲透過衛星連線在巨大的螢幕上出現。質伯斯說：「我真是笨死了，竟然讓蓋兹以這種方式現身。他讓我看起來好沙小。」 ──时刻自省 前言 The people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do. 只有那些瘋狂到以為自己可以改變世界的人， 才能改變這個世界。 這麼些年來，賈伯斯說起話來的認真與專注態度，著實打動不少人。我們一直保持連絡，即使在他被逐出蘋果之後，我們還有來往。每次他有新產品要推出時，像 NeXT 電腦或皮克斯 (Pixar）的電影，他就會來找我。他常帶我去曼哈頓下城一家壽司店用餐，講起他的產品，渾身散發出光和熱，眉飛色舞的說這是他登峰造極之作。我喜歡這個人。 ──对自己产品深深的爱 他的堅持教我疑惑。人人都知道賈伯斯不道餘力捍衛隱私， 而且我不知道他是否看過我寫的任何一本傳記。我還是不敢立刻答應，只說或許再等等。然而到了 2009年，我接到他太太蘿琳． 鮑威爾打來的電話。她直截了當說：「如果你還想為史帝夫寫傳，最好趕快動筆。」這是他第二次因病向公司請長假。我坦言他早在2004 年得知自己罹患胰臟癌的時候就曾主動邀我寫傳，但我當時對他罹癌的事一無所知。蘿琳解釋說，他們盡量保密，因此當時根本沒幾個人知道。他是在動手術的前夕打電話給我的。 ──和Make Something Wonderful对照起来看 他還說，自從他回到蘋果重新掌權，這十二年來是他創造新產品的高峰期，但他還有更重要的目標，也就是效法惠普的惠立和普克（David Packard），締造一家創新動力無限的公司，進而超越惠普。 ──苹果公司才是乔布斯最得意的产品 他說：「我一直認為，自己是個偏向人文的孩子，但我也喜歡電子的東西。後來，我讀到寶麗來(Polaroid）創辦人蘭德 (Edwin Land）曾說過，一個人能站在人文和科學的交會口，兼容贯通，才是真正的人才。在那當下，我决定要當這樣的人。」他似乎在暗示我，這可以做為傳...

Steve Jobs at 44, By Michael Krantz, 1999

Differences and Similarities Between Apple and Pixar Apple turns out many products--a dozen a year; if you count all the minor ones, probably a hundred. Pixar is striving to turn out one a year. But the converse of that is that Pixar's products will still be used fifty years from now, whereas I don't think you'll be using any product Apple brings to market this year fifty years from now. Pixar is making art for the ages. Kids will be watching Toy Story in the future. And Apple is much more of a constant race to continually improve things and stay ahead of the competition.  His Role At Pixar At Pixar my job is to help build the studio and recruit people and help create a situation where they can do the best work of their lives. And to some degree it's the same at Apple. But at Pixar, I don't direct the movies, whereas at Apple probably, if I had to pick a role out of a film production, I'd be the director. So it...

巴菲特致股东信-1975年

 笔记： 华盛顿邮报已成为伯克希尔第一重仓股 翻译： 雪球：https://xueqiu.com/6217262310/131409324 备份：https://archive.ph/4hgK3 原文： To the Stockholders of Berkshire Hathaway Inc.: Last year, when discussing the prospects for 1975, we stated “the outlook for 1975 is not encouraging.” This forecast proved to be distressingly accurate. Our operating earnings for 1975 were $6,713,592, or $6.85 per share, producing a return on beginning shareholders ’ equity of 7.6%. This is the lowest return on equity experienced since 1967. Furthermore, as explained later in this letter, a large segment of these earnings resulted from Federal income tax refunds which will not be available to assist performance in 1976. On balance, however, current trends indicate a somewhat brighter 1976. Operations and prospects will be discussed in greater detail below, under specific industry titles. Our expectation is that significantly better results in textiles, earnings added from recent acquisitio...

Interview with Steve Jobs, WGBH, 1990

Interviewer: what is it about this machine? Why is this machine so interesting? Why has it been so influential? Jobs: Ah ahm, I'll give you my point of view on it. I remember reading a magazine article a long time ago ah when I was ah twelve years ago maybe, in I think it was Scientific American . I'm not sure. And the article ahm proposed to measure the efficiency of locomotion for ah lots of species on planet earth to see which species was the most efficient at getting from point A to point B. Ah and they measured the kilocalories that each one expended. So ah they ranked them all and I remember that ahm...ah the Condor, Condor was the most efficient at [CLEARS THROAT] getting from point A to point B. And humankind, the crown of creation came in with a rather unimpressive showing about a third of the way down...

Steve Jobs: Rolling Stone’s 2003 Interview

  When Steve Jobs cruises into the airy reception area on the Apple Computer campus in Cupertino, California, on a recent morning, nobody pays much attention to him, even though he’s the company’s CEO. He’s wearing shorts, a black T-shirt and running shoes. Tall and a little gawky, Jobs has a fast, loping walk, like a wolf in a hurry. These days Jobs seems eager to distance himself from his barefoot youth – who was that crazy kid who once called the computer “a bicycle for the mind”? – and driven to prove himself as a clear-thinking Silicon Valley capitalist. Jobs punches the elevator button to the fourth floor, where his small office is located. For a man who is as responsible as anyone for the wonder and chaos of Silicon Valley, Jobs’ view of it all is surprisingly modest: shrubby treetops extending out toward San Francisco Bay, the distant whoosh of the freeway below. There is nothing modest, however, about Apple’s recent accomplishments. In the past few months,...

The Three Faces Of Steve Jobs, Brent Schlender, 1998 Fortune

(FORTUNE Magazine) – Well into the conversation with FORTUNE that you're about to read, Steve Jobs, the once and interim CEO of Apple Computer, professes to feel, at the wizened age of 43, no different from when he was a frisky 17-year-old. True to form, he contradicts himself a little later, confessing to be "an old man now." Those comments reveal as much about why Jobs has been able to pull off his prestidigital revival of Apple--his first and still greatest creation--as do his observations on his business strategies and actions of the past year. Here's why. Jobs is most effective as a businessman and leader when he invokes the pathos and gestalt of his generation. He is, after all, a child of the 1960s--you're still likely to find him barefoot in the office, and for breakfast he eats granola doused in apple juice. Yet Jobs is also a mature baby-boomer, with an impressive if offbeat store of business experience, plus the typical worries that go with...
