My "academic genius" persona is so convincing!

Chapter 31: Designing from Scratch!

Xue Lin thought about it seriously for a moment.

After all, there's no need to create this kind of academic conflict.

He felt it would be better to publish two papers, one of which would explain the relationship between minimalist philosophy and life.

Another approach is the exploration of minimalism in design.

After all, Xue Lin believes that people still have a deep-seated prejudice against minimalism, both in terms of design and lifestyle.

However, minimalism is minimalism, and there are certainly many people who do not agree with this approach.

He wouldn't force a cow to drink water if it didn't want to.

Therefore, this is simply a matter of personal choice.

Soon, he came up with a title for one of his papers.

"Tracing the origins, practice, and contemporary innovation of minimalism from a design perspective."

"If you start outlining today, you should be able to finish a paper in about three to five days?"

Xue Lin wasn't in a hurry.

He still has to work on the second mock exam.

Even the orange-colored entries are already incredibly impressive, and he's very confident about his performance in the second mock exam.

Of course, it is still necessary to thoroughly understand all the questions.

With only half a month left, the focus should still be on studying.

The rest can only be considered supplementary.

In fact, Xue Lin designed this article very quickly.

origin.

It's nothing more than a matter of different art styles.

For example, there's absolute functionalism, which originated in architecture.

This emphasizes the practicality, durability, and sense of order in products and spaces.

This applies not only to the construction industry, but also to various fields such as industrial products and industrial spaces.

Another aspect is the warmth and minimalism of humanistic values.

This minimalism is based on functionalism, but incorporates elements of natural aesthetics and humanistic concern.

Add more colors to balance simplicity and a lived-in feel.

This is easy to understand and can be applied to interior design, interior spaces, and cultural and creative products.

Finally, there is the Zen concept of emptiness, blank space, and returning to one's true self.

The minimalism of Zen Buddhism refers to the use of blank spaces in Zen concepts and artistic conceptions.

For example, Xue Lin's Song family, which is more minimalist than traditional minimalist, may have more home furnishings, but it is still a kind of minimalist style.

We downplay the utilitarian aspect of design and pursue a spirit of less is more, quieter, simpler yet more elegant.

Pursuing a sense of breathing space.

The use of negative space in elements, and any natural symbiosis, can be described as a healing stylistic feature.

In summary, it prioritizes functionality, eliminates redundancy, employs precise restraint, and ultimately focuses on texture while maintaining a harmonious balance with artistic conception.

After the outline of this paper was completed.

Xue Lin then sent it to Qin Yan.

"Young Master, what brings you to message me?" Qin Yan said with a smile.

"I think this minimalist design style might become a big hit. Sister Yan, you could promote it."

Incidentally, Xue Lin also sent the original English journal manuscript to Qin Yan.

Qin Yan was surprised when she saw the file on her phone.

Then, she threw back the covers and went into the living room.

turn on computer.

"Does this count as the young master making me work overtime?"

She just smiled gently.

I didn't think much about it.

Soon, I turned on the computer.

"A world-renowned architecture journal? Isn't that a top international journal? Whose paper is this?"

She looked at the names below; there was only one simple Eastern name.

Xue Lin?

"Xue Lin? Young Master? No way?"

Her eyes widened.

The young master published in a top international journal? What does that mean? A high school senior publishing a world-class architecture paper?

She graduated with her doctorate a long time ago and hasn't paid attention to it since, but when she was still studying for her doctorate at the university, she would glance at every issue of this kind of journal!

Even some classic papers require analysis, word by word.

The young master, a senior in high school, published his own paper without using the names of industry experts.

She took a sip of coffee, but she felt so energetic that she didn't need coffee to keep her going or stay awake.

"Young master, you're quite something. I studied architecture for twelve years, including my bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degrees, and I've only published one article in a top international journal."

Even top domestic publications are highly sought after.

The difficulty of getting their papers accepted is no less than that of getting into a top-tier 985 university, even for them.

She really didn't expect that.

Xue Lin got his hands on her right away.

"Architectural minimalism?"

She opened the paper, read it for a while, and found the style rather interesting.

Then, he glanced at the outline of the new paper that Xue Lin handed him.

He pondered for a moment.

"This style..."

"It's possible to do it, but will it really become popular? I feel that this kind of simple lines doesn't require much technical skill." She said, making a voice call to Xue Lin.

"This isn't about technical skill; it's about a differentiated aesthetic. Also, young people should really like this style."

"Rental apartment style?" Qin Yan asked with a smile.

"Pretty much, but rental apartments lack a personal touch in their decor, so the color scheme should be more natural, and the usability should be more practical. As for the soft furnishings, those should also be simplified."

Xue Lin spoke.

"Like your previous Italian minimalist style of decor, right?"

Qin Yan understood a little.

"That's roughly the idea, but minimalism is a concept that can be incorporated into various styles, and it's not just Italian minimalism."

Qin Yan nodded. "Then I can try mentioning it to the boss at the next meeting? Or should you talk to her?"

Xue Lin smiled and said, "Let me explain."

As long as Qin Yan agrees with the idea, Xue Lin can handle the rest.

When the time comes, once the minimalist signboard is up, people will naturally be willing to come and try it out and place orders.

Being among the first to try something new can attract a lot of customers.

Of course, minimalism is just an art form, and you don't need to do everything about it.

Xue Lin didn't think much of it.

I went out of my room and told my mom, who was shopping online in the living room, about it.

"Sure, I've come across some minimalist videos recently too."

"Most people agree with this."

She has indeed been seeing a lot of videos lately, especially those from Nanjing, where official videos are being promoted by local authorities themselves.

Moreover, the most frequent content consisted of excerpts from Xue Lin's speeches.

It's quite popular online.

Although it still seems to be a niche circle, it's worth a try.

Xue Lin nodded as well.

"Then there's no problem. I'll send you the completed paper in a while, and you can design it according to this style."

"You can also bring it to me for review later. I think this style can be widely promoted."

"Also, I can offer some design ideas."

"It's not as if we're completely clueless and starting from scratch."

At least, this style is just emerging now, and there will definitely be many people following suit.

But he has a well-established system here!
