Chen Geng had never met Professor Kevin Lynch, but looking at the man in front of him, who looked like he was in his early fifties and had an elegant temperament, it was really difficult for him to associate the person in front of him with a 62-year-old associate dean of the MIT School of Architecture, who looked more like a well-talked, human-oriented scholar than a top architect.

"Wu, I'm so happy to see you again," Professor Kevin Lynch came up and gave Professor Wu Liangyong a big hug, with the joy on his face when he saw his old friend: "I am fascinated by your views on the aesthetics of oriental architecture, and to tell you the truth, I am now deeply infatuated with those wonderful buildings, which is a more harmonious way for man and nature to get along...... You must spend more time this time, and we should communicate more. ”

Master Wu was also very happy to see his old friend, and nodded again and again: "Of course, it is my wish to be able to communicate with American architects for a while, but ......"

Although he was very happy, Master Wu did not forget what he was doing in the United States this time: "Professor Lynch, I came to the United States this time mainly to ask for your help. ”

"You say," Professor Kevin Lynch nodded happily, "as long as I can do it, I will do my best." ”

"It's him," let out Chen Geng, who was standing behind him, and Master Wu Liangyong said, "This is Fernández Chen, and he is also you American." ”

Fernandez Chen?

An American?

It wasn't until this moment that Professor Kevin Lynch noticed that this guy who had just thought he was Wu's assistant or student or something like that, first glanced at Chen Geng, and then looked at Master Wu Liangyong in surprise, waiting for him to continue...... Since Wu wanted to introduce this young man, who was also a Chinese-American, to himself, there must be something to say.

It's just that everyone has curiosity, even someone like Professor Kevin Lynch, and he can't help but wonder in his heart: Could this young man be a descendant of the American branch of Wu's family?

"Fernandez Chan is recognized worldwide as a leader in the younger generation of car designers, and his designs for the Honda X-BO, Chrysler family and Ford Victoria Crown are all well-known in your United States......

"God!"

Before Wu Liangyong could finish speaking, Professor Kevin Lynch exclaimed, he finally remembered why he just vaguely felt that the name "Fernandez Chen" was a little familiar, it turned out to be because of this! Although everyone is not in the same industry, after knowing who the other party is, Professor Kevin Lynch immediately put Chen Geng on an equal footing with himself: "Mr. Fernandez, I know you, I just bought a Ford Victoria Crown designed by you, this is the favorite of my wife and me!" Please come in, come in, Fernandez, the coffee my wife makes is famous throughout MIT......"

Why is Professor Kevin Lynch so enthusiastic about Chen Geng?

Because the United States is the world's largest automobile producer and consumer, but over the years, Europe, as the birthplace of modern automobiles, has been full of ridicule for the United States: you America, you can only produce such simple and crude cars.

Americans still can't argue that the best sports cars in the world are in Europe, the best car design companies and designers in the world are in Europe, and the most expensive cars sold in the American market are still in Europe......

These are simply the pain in the hearts of Americans!

Chen Geng is the only car designer in the whole United States who has been recognized by the world, especially Europe, in the field of automobile design, just like a naughty and rebellious student who expects to be praised by his teacher, when Chen Geng's design level has been recognized by Europeans, especially the recognized three major designers, the entire American media has reached a climax, and the praise of Chen Geng is simply to the extent of numbness - otherwise why do you think they will spare so much effort to promote Chen Geng's computer hypermarket? Because of a heartfelt pride, of course.

Looking at Professor Kevin Lynch's reaction, Master Wu Liangyong couldn't help but start thinking in his heart: Looking at Professor Kevin Lynch's happy appearance, I'm afraid that even if he didn't have his own recommendation, after knowing who was visiting him, Professor Kevin Lynch was unlikely to refuse Chen Geng, right?

........................

When Chen Geng and Wu Liangyong briefly introduced the situation to Professor Kevin Lynch, Professor Kevin Lynch's eyes lit up a little, and he looked at Chen Geng with great interest: "If I understand correctly, Fernandez, your company is preparing to build a super-large comprehensive high-end commercial real estate in the center of the world's most populous city, right?"

"So to speak," Chen Geng nodded, "but I prefer to define this as an urban complex." ”

"Urban complex?"

"That's right, it's an urban complex," Chen Geng said, "To put it simply, it is based on the building complex, integrating the five core functions of commercial retail, business office, hotel and catering, apartment and residential, and comprehensive entertainment, with the aim of realizing the ...... of urban economic agglomeration with functional aggregation and land intensity."

Chen Geng still underestimated the attraction of the new architectural concept of "urban complex" to these world's top architectural design masters, and when he put forward the concept of "urban complex" and accurately defined "urban complex", Professor Kevin Lynch's eyes were already bright and terrifying......

"It's a great idea to create a multi-functional, efficient, complex and unified complex by establishing an interdependent and mutually beneficial dynamic relationship between the various functional areas, which is the development trend of integrated commercial real estate in large cities, and my team and I have been working on this development trend but have not yet given a precise definition......"

Speaking of this, Professor Kevin Lynch looked at Chen Geng with an excited face: "Mr. Fernandez, I didn't expect you to be not only a top car designer, but also an architectural designer with a forward-looking vision that transcends the times. ”

Chen Geng's face turned red: I just copied a concept of future commercial real estate......

At this point, Professor Kevin Lynch somewhat understood Chen Geng's intention: "So, do you want my firm to help you with this project? No problem, this project ......."

I couldn't let him talk any more, Chen Geng interrupted Professor Kevin Lynch, and said embarrassedly: "Actually, I hope to be able to use this project to cooperate with the MIT School of Architecture." ”

"What?" Professor Kevin Lynch seriously doubted if he had misheard something.

"You heard it right," Chen Geng repeated again: "You know, if you just design a building, it's not difficult, there are many architectural design companies in the world that can take on this job, but I want to be able to give this building ...... Or that the building complex has more things, which requires the guidance of the academic school in theory, so ......"

Speaking of this, Chen Geng showed a shy and shy smile: With the blessing of the MIT School of Architecture, this B grade is high enough.

"That's ......"

Professor Kevin Lynch groaned.

In order to be able to learn something from the Huaqing Department of Architecture, Professor Wu Liangyong also beat the side drum: "Professor Lynch, if the cooperation can be reached, I think this is a collision of Eastern and Western architectural design in terms of ideas, the ancient East in terms of architecture 'the unity of heaven and man' concept and the modern Western architectural design concept of the collision, I don't know what kind of sparks will appear, but it is certain that these sparks must be very charming." ”

This time, Professor Kevin Lynch thought for a much longer time than before, and after four or five minutes, Professor Kevin Lynch finally spoke: "Wu, what you said is reasonable, this is indeed a rare opportunity for Western architecture to learn from Eastern architecture, but you know, although I am the vice president of the School of Architecture, this kind of thing is not something that I can do alone, especially if I go to your country...... But don't worry, I will do my best to help you fight for it, and I am very much looking forward to this cooperation. ”

For the birth of Lin Huiyin, Liang Sicheng, even in the Western architectural design circles are also famous in the mysterious China, in fact, Professor Kevin Lynch is full of curiosity, and last year's trip to China, after seeing the unique Huaxia, in the eyes of Professor Kevin Lynch ahead of the world, a more harmonious way of getting along with man and nature and the ancient concept, he is looking forward to when he can go to China again.

Frankly speaking, Professor Kevin Lynch was very interested in the invitation of Chen Geng and Master Wu Liangyong, but due to some objective conditions, he could not immediately agree to this invitation.

"That's ......"

Chen Geng's eyes rolled: "Professor Lynch, to tell you the truth, we have also sent invitations to the Bartlett School of Architecture at the University of London and the School of Architecture at the University of California, Berkeley, and they have also expressed enough interest in this project...... So, if you don't mind, can I organize a group of MIT School of Architecture professors, either in their private capacity or as a special consultant to my company, to go to Huaxia to see it in person and exchange specific ideas for this project with the Huaxia government before making a decision?"

A trip to China in the name of a private person? Professor Kevin Lynch was a little moved, but he was still a little hesitant.

Ambassador Wu Liangyong added: "Professor Lynch, if you think it is necessary, I can initiate an exchange invitation to the MIT School of Architecture in the name of Huaqing. ”

This time, Professor Kevin Lynch finally nodded, "OK, I can try." ”
