1、題目大意

過去，建築通常反映了一個(ge) 社會(hui) 的文化，但是現在的建築看上去都差不多並且城市也變得越來越相似。原因是什麽(me) ?利弊如何？

2、思路解析

這是一道混合類大作文，討論的是城市和建築趨同的原因和利弊。報告類的題型的結構比較簡單，兩(liang) 個(ge) 主體(ti) 段分別對應兩(liang) 個(ge) 問題，主體(ti) 段一回答原因，主體(ti) 段二討論利弊。審題時候需要注意一點，過去與(yu) 現在的對比。下麵，月半鴨和大家一起來看下具體(ti) 觀點。

首先是分析原因。

過往建築風格差別很大，可能是多種因素造成的，比如運輸條件、氣候環境、工藝交流等。受限於(yu) 運輸限製，不同地區的建築在建造過程中往往隻能就近取材，因此在各地能看到以竹、木、土磚等為(wei) 主體(ti) 的不同建築物。同時，不同地區的建築也會(hui) 將當地氣候的應對問題考慮進去，比如熱帶地區會(hui) 更注重潮濕的問題，而寒帶地區則會(hui) 優(you) 先考慮防寒防凍。在各種因素條件下，各地也形成具有當地特色的建築。

而如今，建築風格趨同，一定程度上是由於(yu) 建築工藝技術的發展，以及各地的交流日益緊密。新型的建築材料比如混凝土由於(yu) 更加耐用、便於(yu) 生產(chan) 、適用性廣，因此在各個(ge) 地區都被廣泛使用，使得各地建築很難再看到當地特有的材料。同時各地建築師緊密交流，也會(hui) 相互借鑒和模仿，慢慢使得建築風格開始趨同。

對於(yu) 城市而言，由於(yu) 大量人口有的湧入，城市發展也更加追求高效和實用。為(wei) 了滿足大量人口居住，原有的矮樓開始被相似的高樓所替代。商業(ye) 區、辦公樓等場所也會(hui) 出現在每一座城市，這使得大家覺得城市開始變得一樣。

利弊角度來說。

壞處在於(yu) ，特色建築的消失對於(yu) 當地的文化傳(chuan) 承是一種損失，缺乏多樣性的建築風格也不利於(yu) 未來持續的設計創新和體(ti) 現不同城市的獨有魅力。

好處則是，由於(yu) 目前的建築可複製性高，實用性更強，建造成本和設計成本更加低廉，在城市的不斷擴張過程中便於(yu) 大規模的使用，以滿足人們(men) 日益增長的居住需求。

3、提綱

4、高分範文示例

In contemporary society, there has been an increasing trend for modern architecture to resemble one another. In this short essay, I will delve into some reasons for this phenomenon and present both positive and negative impacts.

The fundamental reason for this is that the breakthrough in communicating technology has prompted the occurrence of this situation. In ancient times, every civilization has developed their own style of buildings, for example, Byzantine, Gothic, and oriental styles. However, the transportation technology at that age is not capable of transporting architects and designers to remote areas to mimic different styles. In today’s society, yet, thanks to effective communication, such as flight, shipping, etc., architects are easily accessible to other existing models of buildings, and therefore, it is no surprise for imitation to be found on a large scale, which makes modern buildings today monotonous. Besides, from an urbanization perspective, a large number of immigrants flock into major cities, which leads to an unavoidable outcome that flats and bungalows cannot accommodate those comers, so the high rise buildings have replaced the traditional ones. With time passing by, the steel jungle has gradually become the modern style of a city.

It is not certain whether this situation will affect our society positively or negatively. On the one hand, its economic merits are obvious. With more architectural references and more efficient network, the costs of designing a modern high-rise building are lower than before, which save the expense of design. On the other hand, this situation will also exert a devastating impact on architectural culture if it goes too far. In addition, it goes without saying that innovation plays a crucial role in almost every aspect of human civilization, and its absence would be catastrophic.

As conclusion, while similarity among modern architecture can bring about economic benefits, the diversity should not be ignored.
