Minoru Yamasaki was a well-known American architect (建筑师). He was born in 1912 in Seattle, Washington. Minoru went to college to study architecture. Every summer he worked in a fish factory to help pay for college. He slept in a room with 100 other men.

Yamasaki sometimes dreamed about his work. Once he woke up at three o’clock in the morning. He remembered a building that was in his dream. He got up and started to draw.   

Yamasaki was different from other architects. His buildings give people a feeling of peace and happiness. Many of his designs have pools of water, flowers, and windows on the roof to let in light. He wanted to give them a place away from the busy ways of modern life.

Yamasaki worked for several companies. But his success began when he started his own company. In 1956, he won the Architect’s First Honor Award for his design of an airport in St. Louis, Missouri. He won two more awards over the next five years. In 1962, he designed the World Trade Center in New York. In 1993, a bomb exploded (炸弹爆炸) in it. But the buildings did not fall down because they had a good design.

Yamasaki had strong opinions about his buildings. They had to be built his way. He refused to change the design of his buildings, even if he lost a job.

Minoru Yamasaki died on Jun,2 1986. He designed more than 300 buildings. People will enjoy the design and beauty of his buildings for a very long time.

The Optimus Prime (擎天柱) model on Zhu Xiaoxuan’s desk looks small–only 30cm high. But it may be the first Transformers (变形金刚) toy made by a 3-D printer (打印机)in China.
Zhu, 14, from Shijiazhuang Foreign Language School, designed it himself. Zhu is a big Transformers fan. In winter vacation, when he saw news that people abroad made many things with 3-D printers, he quickly thought of printing a 3-D model of his favorite Transformer: Optimus Prime.
But where did he start? Zhu went to a local 3-D printing company and found that he first needed to design a digital (数码的) 3-D model. However, the software is much for difficult for a teenager to learn.Feeling challenged, Zhu decided to have a try. He found a video online that showed how to use the microsoft. He watched it and learnt hundreds of computer commands (命令).
After three days of hard work, he built the arms. But they turned out to be too long. Zhu had to re-design it. “The model has 96 parts and almost every part needs to be adjusted (调整). You can imagine how many times I have failed,” Zhu said.
Finally, over 20 days later, Zhu completed the design and had Optimus Prime printed out.
