Bill Hammack 写的《The Things We Make》改变了我对工程本质的认知。推荐读读不用数学、科学或建模来设计大教堂的那一章。
The Things We Make by Bill Hammack Changed my way of understanding what engineering is. Read the chaoter on designing cathedrals without math, science or modelling.
就在昨天，我开始看宣传 Bill Hammack 新书《The Things We Make》的系列视频，他在里面探讨了许多令人难以置信的古代建筑是如何依靠经验法则（rules of thumb）建成的，而不是靠真正理解支撑其稳固性的科学/数学原理。真让人着迷。https://youtu.be/_ivqWN4L3zU
Just yesterday I started watching the video series promoting Bill Hammack's book "The Things We Make" in which he discusses how many incredible ancient structures were built using rules of thumb rather than an actual understanding of the science /math underpinning their strength. Truly fascinating. https://youtu.be/_ivqWN4L3zU
那通常既不是靠直觉也不是靠即兴发挥，而是靠规则。Bill Hammack 在《The Things We Make》中列举了大量例子。举个稍微现代点的例子，看看欧洲的哥特式大教堂。人们不是在瞎猜，不是在即兴胡来，也不是在凭直觉行事——如果他们……
It was often neither intuition nor improvisation, but rules. Bill Hammack's "The Things We Make" goes into a number of examples. For a slightly more modern example, take European Gothic Cathedrals. People weren't guessing, they weren't improvising, and they weren't relying on intuition - if they…
