　　大作文： When designing a building，the most important thing to take into account is the intended use of the building rather than its outward appearance. to what extent do you agree or disagree。

　　相关旧题： 2005年12月17日

　　It is more important for a building to serve a purpose than to look beautiful. Architects shouldn’t worry about producing building as a work of art. Do you agree or disagree?

　　提纲：

　　usefulbeautiful

　　1 建筑的基本目的是‘有用’‘结实’

　　2 注重功能可以节省成本，保证安全

　　3 人口和城市化的压力使建筑更加注重功能

　　1 人类对美的追求是自然的和特有的

　　2 建筑之美体现艺术的高度和文化的繁荣但是：它并非建筑的本质

　　如果功能和美观相结合最好，如果不能，则功能优先考虑

　　I agree with the view presented above that function should come first in architecture, although I have no intention to deny that beauty is also an important element. （非谓语+同位语从句+让步状语从句+宾语从句）

　　In essence, any building is constructed to serve a purpose, which might beaccommodating, storing, recreating, entertaining, manufacturing and so forth¹. Therefore utility is widely recognized by most architects and the general public as well. It is especially practical today to consider such characteristics asspatial grammar, convenience, firmness, material cost and construction speed in the residential³ construction due to the stress on house access from the increasing population and the development of urbanization. Focusing on function is also a cost saving practice as various ornaments⁵ which serve no obvious function would be simplified at the greatest extent or even eliminated. （定语从句+被动句+形式主语+动名词+因果从句）

　　However, artistic⁶ structures can be seen in many places around the world. Human has the nature to pursue beauty and express their feelings through art worksand architecture definitely is one of them by which this goal can be achieved. Over emphasis on architectural function tends to global similarity as international tourists have witnessed. In contrast, a building with certainaesthetic value is always unique and therefore adorned⁹ by local people or even foreigners and cherished as a cultural treasure, such as the Bird’s Nest and theWater Cube in Beijing which have been not only an ordinary Olympic stadium or a swimming pool but also a hot tourist spot due to their unique splendid exterior¹⁰. However, the external appearance should not be the most important consideration as a good looking but less useful building is just a waste of substantial resources such as wood, steel, cement, energy sources and labor¹¹ force, all of which have to be invested in construction. (被动句+并列句+定语从句+方式状语从句+对比句+not only but also+因果从句)

　　In my personal view, it would be ideal that a building satisfies both functional¹² and aesthetic⁷ aspects. If these two cannot be achieved simultaneously¹³, then function should be taken as the priority instead of the outward look. （形式主语+条件状语从句+被动句）
