I’d like to share with you today my experience with the new approach to building a house. It’s called Envelop Building. Essentially, what it means is that as you are building a house, you try to leave the landscape feature on the land, especially the vegetation in the original condition. So what you are not doing is the usual practice of land-scraping. By which I mean literally scraping or clearing land of any and all the original plants. Why is the approach called Envelop Building? Because instead of clearing everything away, you let your original landscape elements envelop or surround your house. Let the vegetation physical features such as hills and slopes or interesting rock formations, constituted a significant part of the character of the building sight. The design of the house should take these features of the property into account. Actually integrating your original wild landscape with a house is not that new. The famous American architect Wright was doing it about 65 years ago. So we are in good company. Envelop Building is not as easy as it sounds though. It’s not just that you build your house and leave the land alone. By building, you are already damaging the original landscape. But as architects, we should try to work with environment, not against it. A creative architect can find ways to incorporate natural landscape into the overall design. For example, why used the massive boulders on the side of one of the most famous houses has part of the house foundation?
Now listen to the following recording and answer questions 16 to 18.
16. According to the professor, what does the term "land-scaping" refer to?
17. In Envelop Building, what is done with the landscape features of a building sight?
18. Why does the professor mention the architect Frank Loid Wright?
选项
A、Because many architects studied with Wright.
B、Because Wright started the practice of "land-scraping".
C、Because Wright used elements of envelope building.
D、Because most of the houses Wright built were made of stone.
答案
B
解析
