Chapter 1664: Chapter 876: Unity of Teachers and Students in the School of Architecture

Mist City Arts and Science University.

In a lecture hall of the School of Architecture, a group of teachers and students were discussing how to plan a perfect modern desert city.

Gathered here were the best students and teachers from the School of Architecture at Mist City Arts and Science University.

"The underground pipeline system is very crucial. Since this is a desert, building urban underground pipelines becomes even more challenging."

A student voiced their opinion.

"I think greenery is the most critical for the city!"

Another student shared their view.

"Yes, in a desert city, greenery is extremely crucial. If we can create a green city in the desert, it would definitely be an astounding feat!" Some students agreed that greenery was the key to a desert city.

"In fact, whether it’s the architecture itself, city facilities, or underground pipelines and greenery, they form an integrated whole. None can exist without the others; all are very important. What we need to do, as students, is to perfectly plan this integrated desert city."

Professor Chen spoke earnestly from the podium.

"Professor Chen is right!"

The students nodded in agreement.

"Senior Liu, what’s your take on architectural design in this context?"

A junior student sought advice from Liu Chuanjie.

Liu Chuanjie, a well-known architectural design master in Xia Country, was the chief architect of Feiyue Construction Company. He had led the design of Mist City Arts and Science University’s Book Ship Library.

Liu Chuanjie had already graduated from undergraduate studies at Mist City Arts and Science University. Even after receiving an offer as the chief architect of Feiyue Construction Company under the Feiyue Group, he stayed at Mist City Arts and Science University to pursue graduate studies while working!

This time, the School of Architecture at Mist City Arts and Science University focused its main efforts and curriculum on the construction of Pharaoh Kingdom’s new capital, and naturally, Liu Chuanjie had to attend today’s discussion session.

"I only have a general idea of how to proceed with the design. It’s still uncertain because Principal Ding has already dispatched a team for on-site investigation in Pharaoh Kingdom. We can only analyze after obtaining survey data. Let me share my current thoughts..."

After pondering for a moment, Liu Chuanjie calmly said, "Judging from Pharaoh Kingdom’s desire to build a new capital, it seems they want a modern metropolis. After all, the original capital of Pharaoh Kingdom has strong local architectural styles and is somewhat outdated. It’s difficult to build a new city on that foundation, so Pharaoh Kingdom chose a location several kilometers away from the current capital to construct the new capital."

"Brother Jie is right."

"So it will follow the scale of a metropolis for planning and design."

"Building a metropolis?"

"America has several companies that excel in this area."

"No matter what kind of metropolis we build, as long as funding is sufficient, the infrastructure champions of Xia Country can create it!"

"The Xia Country Construction Engineering Bureau seems very confident this time."

"Yes, we should wait for the on-site survey data to guide the next phase of planning."

After listening to Liu Chuanjie’s words, all the students expressed their agreement.

All the fancy talking means nothing without a practical foundation. We must proceed from reality, conduct on-site surveys at the new capital site in Pharaoh Kingdom, and then, based on the data obtained, plan and design the construction of this modern metropolis more perfectly.

...

At this moment, a flight was heading from Xia Country to Pharaoh Kingdom.

Onboard was an investigation team dispatched by the School of Architecture at Mist City Arts and Science University and Feiyue Construction Company. The team comprised twelve outstanding professionals from the field of architectural engineering, spanning surveying to civil engineering. They planned a one- to two-week on-site survey at Pharaoh Kingdom’s selected location to acquire highly accurate data.

No one expected that the team dispatched by Feiyue Construction Company would be the first and only group to conduct an onsite survey in Pharaoh Kingdom.

"What? You mean not even the Xia Country Construction Engineering Bureau has sent an investigation team?"

Upon learning this, Ding Yue was astonished.

"Yes."

An Yujia nodded and said, "It’s already been a week, and neither the international construction companies nor the Xia Construction Bureau have done this. They are all basing the planning and design of Pharaoh Kingdom’s new capital on simulated models."

"These people."

Ding Yue found it somewhat amusing and frustrating.

In this era, is a grounded approach so rare?

Although simulated models and detailed data provided by Pharaoh Kingdom are indeed sufficient for planning and design, they lack the tangible essence compared to on-site investigations.

Especially that pragmatic spirit; it’s understandable that Western developed nations didn’t go for it, but even the Xia Construction Bureau didn’t conduct a survey.

It seems these construction companies are somewhat overconfident.

Perhaps their development has been too smooth over the years. Due to various reasons, countries worldwide have been engaging in extensive infrastructure development, which naturally features these world-renowned construction companies frequently.
