Wang serves as head of the Architecture Department at the China A

3、cademy of Art (CAA). His office is located at the Xiangshan campus(校园) of the university in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province.Many buildings on the campus are his original creations. The style of the campus is quite different from that of most Chinese universities.Manyvisitors were amazed by the complex a

4、rchitectural space and abundant building types.The curves(曲线) of the buildings perfectly match the rise and fall of hills, forming a unique view. Wang collected more than 7 million abandoned bricks of different ages.He asked theworkers to use traditional techniques to make the bricks into walls,roof

5、s and corridors.Thiscreation attracted a lot of attention thanks to its mixture of modern and traditional Chinese elements(元素). Wangs works show a deep understanding of modern architecture and a good knowledgeof traditions.Through such a balance,he had created a new type of Chinese architecture,said

6、Tadao Ando,the winner of the1995 Pritzker Prize.Wang believes traditions should not be sealed in glass boxes at museums.That is onlyevidence that traditions once existed, he said. Many Chinese people have a misunderstanding of traditions.They think tradition meansold things from the past.In fact,tra

7、dition also refers to the things that have been developingand that are still being created, he said. Today,many Chinese people are learning Western styles and theories rather thanfocusing on Chinese traditions.Many people tend to talk about traditions without knowingwhat they really are, said Wang.T

8、he study of traditions should be combined with practice.

11、ucted by several scientists: Scientist A: I would say that we are quite a long way off developing the AI, though I do think it will happen within the next thirty or forty years. We will probably remain in control of technology and it will help us solve many of the worlds problems. However, no one re

12、ally knows what will happen if machines become more intelligent than humans. They may help us, ignore us or destroy us. I tend to believe AI will have a positive influence on our future lives, but whether that is true will be partly up to us. Scientist B: I have to admit that the potential consequen

13、ces of creating something that can match or go beyond human intelligence frighten me. Even now, scientists are teaching computers how to learn on their own. At some point in the near future, their intelligence may well take off and develop at an ever-increasing speed. Human beings evolve biologicall

14、y very slowly and we would be quickly substituted. In the short term, there is the danger that robots will take over millions of human jobs, creating a large underclass of unemployed people. This could mean large-scale poverty and social unrest. In the lone term machines might decide the world would

15、 be better without humans. Scientist C: Im a member of the Campaign to Stop Killer Robots.

16、ill with very little human input. The next step will be autonomous “murderbots” following orders but finally deciding who to kill on their own.
