The combination of engineering and art is very close, from the ancient architecture, from ancient times to the present, human activities show the worship of beauty. The material world created by engineering is the expression entity of beauty, the artist's bold imagination and the pursuit of perfect character all guide engineering to create beautiful things.

Some people in the aviation industry have said that a plane with excellent performance must look harmonious and beautiful. Engineers assist artists to make the public enjoy beauty, and the progress of engineering technology can upgrade works of art and make art develop at a higher level. For example, the audience of drama is limited, but the development of film and television technology from film to television makes the creation of artists into thousands of families. From film and television to naked-eye three-dimensional and virtual, modern engineering created by scientific and technological means provides a more beautiful creative space for artists. Such as the establishment of the Academy of Fine Arts in Tsinghua University, the cross-cooperation between the Academy of Fine Arts and the School of computer Science can contribute to the development of anime films, architecture and car modeling.

Marilyn Monroe Mansion throughout the history of human civilization, the combination of art and engineering, has created many amazing brilliant relics. Such as the pyramids of ancient Egypt, the Parthenon in ancient Greece, the ancient Roman Colosseum, the Taj Mahal in India, the Indian Sun Temple, Angkor Wat in Cambodia, the Great Wall of China, and so on.

Living in Songyue Temple Pagoda in the Northern Wei Dynasty is the basic demand of human survival, and residence is the wisdom crystallization of both engineering and art. Architectural design should not only build the physical space of physical activities, but also create the residence of spiritual activities, lead the peace of mind through the integration of space, and architectural design should give full play to and make good use of physical space as far as possible. bear the practical function of social activities and the enjoyment of beauty, and realize the harmonious unity of humanities and natural environment.

When it comes to the perfect combination of engineering and art, it is necessary to mention the architect I.M. Pei. I.M. Pei (1917-2019), after graduating from Harvard University with a master's degree in 1946, embarked on the road of architectural design. In the process of perfect combination of art and engineering, he did not give up practicality, did not run counter to business philosophy, and had excellent control from creativity to detail.

The most familiar of his architectural works is the glass pyramid in front of the Louvre in Paris, which was hotly debated in France at that time. Pei stresses that he is from China with an ancient civilization, which makes the French believe that his design will not belittle historical and cultural traditions, that the transparent texture of glass ensures that the appearance of existing buildings will not be seriously damaged, and that history and reality can be perfectly integrated. The glass pyramid consists of 603 pieces of diamond glass and 70 pieces of triangular glass, cleverly forming a visual center and becoming another landmark of Paris (figure 3-18). People describe it as "a huge jewel flying from the courtyard of the Louvre".

I. M. Pei's design of the glass pyramid in front of the Louvre in Paris is full of passion and foresight. After the assassination of US President John F. Kennedy in 1963, the United States wanted to build a permanent memorial building for Kennedy. At that time, I.M. Pei was a nobody, and in the competition with many famous architects, the Kennedy Library designed by I.M. Pei stood against the sea, leaving the most emotional elements on the surface, thus moving Mrs. Kennedy.

In 1983, I.M. Pei won the Pritzker Prize, the highest prize in the construction industry. For decades, I.M. Pei has created many world-famous classic buildings around the world, but he has always said: "I always know where I come from." The Lion Forest in Suzhou used to be the private garden of the Pei family. Pei spent his youth in a garden famous for its stones. Light and shadow passed through stone cracks and holes, stone bridges, ponds and waterfalls, and moving scenery brought him endless fantasies. In 2002, 85-year-old I.M. Pei was invited to design a new museum for the Suzhou Museum. The design philosophy was "I hope the building can take a real Chinese, Soviet and new road, all of which are indispensable." to achieve the real integration of architectural wisdom and oriental traditional aesthetics.

Marx also said that "beauty" is a manifestation of all perceptual existence of human beings based on a certain material basis. For example, the progress of high-tech synthetic fiber technology and weaving and finishing technology has created a material foundation for beauty in clothing design. On July 10, 1999, at the grand teaching seminar "Art and Science" held at the Central Conservatory of Music to commemorate the 40th anniversary of Professor Jiang Ying's teaching, Qian Xuesen wrote a written speech, which was read out by their daughter. When Qian Xuesen talked about the relationship between art and science and technology, Qian Xuesen said: "... Jiang Ying (Mrs. Qian) is of great help and inspiration to my work. In fact, it is the inspiration and development of literature and art to scientific thinking. When I am puzzled by the difficulties encountered in a project, it is often Jiang Ying's singing that enlightens me and gets inspiration. This is the role of art in promoting science and technology." In fact, Qian Xuesen was presiding over China's rocket and aerospace engineering at that time.

On the other hand, art is facing the challenge brought by the accelerated development of technology, which requires more cross-border consideration. In 2019, for example, the Royal Academy of Art cancelled the 40-year-old car design major and changed it into a smart mobile major in order to think about the combination of engineering and art in the future transportation mode in a wider scope.

It is obviously not enough for artists to learn skills such as painting and sculpture. For example, the first solo exhibition "Alternative   Worlds" of the sensational robot "Xiao Bing" means that painting, once considered to be one of the few unique human skills, is also facing the impact of engineering technology. " After 22 months, Xiao Bing has studied the works of 236 famous human painters in the past 400 years of art history, independently completed some paintings and excellently demonstrated their talents. Just before this exhibition, the work of "Xiao Bing" was mixed into the 2019 graduate graduation exhibition of the Central Academy of Fine Arts, deceiving the eyes of many professionals.

The artificial intelligence painting "Edmund de Bellamy" in recent years, Christie's in New York held an auction, in which a computer-generated painting "Edmund de Bellamy" sold for $432520. The artificial intelligence team first inputs 15000 14th-20th century paintings into the neural network of the computer, then trains the neural network to distinguish the visual elements in these works of art and then automatically generates the paintings. Although the facial features of the characters are still unclear, they have taken an important step towards computer intelligent painting.

Perhaps, the most fundamental and core thing in artistic creation is "impossible" to teach, just like scientific and technological innovation, it can only be awakened. It is not technical training and knowledge transfer, but the self-cultivation of perception and the reconstruction of subjectivity. Therefore, the core of art education is how to cultivate curiosity, how to ask questions, how to find and solve problems, how to challenge recognized wisdom, and how to focus on the development of creative thinking.

The consistency and symbiosis between engineering and art lies in the ultimate pursuit of beauty, abstract beauty in art and figurative beauty in engineering.
