　　THE ARCHITECT AND A HIGH-SCHOOL

　　On a coastal city of the United States rose another skyscraper, which was the designer Mr.

　　John's top-notch work.

　　Tom was a high-school student. One day, he came to the building John designed and made adeep impression on the light and thin framework of the main building.

　　Back home, Tom searched for the material of this building from his computer. To hiswonderment, he suddenly found that the upwind side of the building was right on the edge of thetriangle corner, but when the strong wind met the edge, it would inevitably change the directionand rotate, and then the thin and weak wall was precisely the largest zone of bearing the wind. Hewrote a letter to Mr. John telling his discovery.

　　On receiving the letter, John used the computer to make a pneumatic simulation test. Itturned out that Tom's inference was entirely correct.

　　John proved himself to be a first-class designer, for in the short term he actually found asolution. When one block of prefabricated part weighing several tons was suspended on the roof,John felt relieved at last. His unique approach not only avoided the danger of the building, but alsoturned over a new page in the architectural history of preventing and resisting the wind.

　　在美国的一座沿海城市，又一幢摩天大楼拔地而起，这是设计师约翰先生的鼎力之作。

　　汤姆是个中学生。有一天，他来到约翰设计的高楼前，主楼轻薄纤细的结构给他留下了深刻的印象。

　　回到家，汤姆用电脑查找了这栋大楼的相关资料。突然，他惊讶地发现，这栋建筑的逆风面恰好处在三角形角落的边缘上。毫无疑问，当这个边缘遇到强风，风向会发生变化，产生涡旋，此时纤细单薄的墙体就会是风力的最大受力区域。他给约翰先生写了封信，讲述了这一发现。

　　约翰收到信件，马上用电脑进行了气动模拟实验。果然，实验结果与汤姆的推论是完全吻合的。

　　约翰不愧是顶级设计师，他在短期之内就找到了解决办法。当一块几吨重的预制结构悬浮安装在大楼顶部的时候，约翰终于松了一口气。这一独特的方法不仅避免了建筑物要面临的危险，同时还在建筑防风和抗风历史上翻开了崭新的一页。
