Mu Qingyuan also really slowed down his pace with Zhou You, which is strange to say, the two of them, who originally had a sense of distance, suddenly coincided at this point of interest, and the pace instantly became like lovers who were about to separate, in order to arrive at the destination later, not to mention the speed of the pace, it would be good not to go back.

Mu Qingyuan put away his mobile phone and said slowly: "After I retired, I basically refused all practical work and meetings, as if I had returned to my student days, not a university, but a middle school, when my imagination was the richest, and I dared to think, it didn't matter if I was wrong." I was thinking, how should I build a house in other dimensions?"

"How do you cover it?"

Mu Qingyuan glanced at the front and back of him, and after making sure that everyone else was far away, he said a little embarrassed, "At that time, I didn't have time to think about it, I had to deal with the exam, and then I had to deal with a lot of practical work, life, marriage and children, and people I knew and didn't know, and I unconsciously coped with half a lifetime. ”

Mu Qingyuan said, gradually revealing a childlike eccentric expression: "But after retiring, in less than half a month, my imagination seems to have returned, I feel like I have returned to half a century ago, only this time, I have fulfilled all the responsibilities of a person's life, no one can force me to deal with anything anymore, I am only responsible for myself." ”

"I've seen too many three-dimensional houses, and I already have a physiological aversion, so following my idea in middle school, I started with the simplest and tried to become a two-dimensional architect......" Mu Qingyuan said and raised his palm to gesture, "To put it bluntly, it is to build a house on a piece of tissue paper, and the house is a line with no height and only thickness, can you imagine?"

"Like a plane labyrinth?"

"Yes, from our point of view, but those buildings are certainly not for us, you have to think of the vision of a two-dimensional creature. ”

"Well......" Zhou You imagines himself to be a two-dimensional flattened person, standing in front of a labyrinth, because the world is two-dimensional, only front and back, left and right, not up and down, so no matter where he stands, he can only stand on one side of the labyrinth.

Thinking of this, Zhou You suddenly exclaimed: "A line??"

"Haha, interesting, this is the architecture of the two-dimensional world, all buildings look like lines! You can imagine that the two-dimensional villain observes inside his own building, no matter how complex and irregular the building is, no matter how ornate the decoration is, but what is presented in front of their eyes is always a line, if he turns around the place and visits the building, he will find that it is a ring, no matter how it is designed, the result is like this. ”

"Oh my God...... Zhou You said with his mouth open, "the architects of the two-dimensional world will be unemployed." ”

"How come?" Mu Qingyuan said a little excitedly, "Two-dimensional architecture is even greater, do you think it's easy to make a line beautiful?"

"But its presentation is just a line, is there still room for architectural design?"

Mu Qingyuan nodded very affirmatively: "Of course there is, the line can have a color, there can be a gradient of depth and distance, and the line is not necessarily continuous, you can break a two-dimensional window from time to time, this is all design space, which involves structure and aesthetics." ”

"Ahh Zhou You was shocked again.

It is difficult for him to imagine what kind of aesthetics will be produced by the time of that "line", and what is more interesting is that if he encounters that kind of aesthetics, will its theory and essence be fed back to the three-dimensional, giving the designers of the earth world a new aesthetic system and casting a master across dimensions?

Or perhaps, some masters of artistic attainment have met that world in their imagination?

Mu Qingyuan looked at the thoughtful Zhou You with some joy: "I believe that the attainments of two-dimensional architects are by no means lower than ours, on the contrary, we have one more dimension, which is better than them, and the architectural theory is not as pure as others." ”

Zhou You still had a lot to ask, but it was already very close to the gate, and others had already walked there to wait for them, so Zhou You had to open Mu Qingyuan's avatar again, the three-dimensional projection of the four-dimensional arch bridge.

"What about the four-dimensional building?"

"It's going to add a lot of trouble, and a lot of fun. Mu Qingyuan tried to draw a complex geometry, a space that he himself could not understand, "If there is a heaven, I hope it is like that, I hope that everything I have learned in my life is just a sad corner of the vast truth, I hope I can embrace a new world like a baby, just like a two-dimensional villain jumped out of that plane and saw his home, and at that time, his happiness will surpass the sum of all two-dimensional villains who have existed and existed." ”

Unable to suppress the shock in his heart, Mu Qingyuan once again used geometric theory to outline an aesthetic art: "This is the most interesting paradise I have ever heard, and I hope that there really is a heaven for the first time." ”

"Hehe, don't be too obsessed, such a paradise only exists in mathematics for the time being. Mu Qingyuan patted Zhou You, "I believe that these abstract imaginations will be helpful to architectural design, but this meaning is difficult to reflect quickly, even if it is not reflected, it doesn't matter, it is considered to be imagination training." ”

"Then I'll start as a 2D designer. Zhou You rubbed his hands as if he had found a new plaything, "I'm afraid I'm going to disturb Teacher Mu often." ”

I have to say that Zhou You's expression of curiosity, admiration and eagerness at this time are very in place, and he has mastered the skills of "forcible apprenticeship" during this time, and no one can resist it.

Mu Qingyuan laughed when he heard this: "Then I have to be careful, otherwise the name of the first person in the two-dimensional construction will be snatched away." ”

"Hahaha!"

The deputy director saw the two of them laughing all the way, and knew that they were almost talking, so he immediately stepped forward and asked, "Director Mu, do you still want to go to the restaurant and the villa in the forest to have a look?"

"No need, this review is only for the stars, so let's have a chance to live again. Mu Qingyuan waved his hand, "Let's go back and discuss it, and complete the review process as soon as possible." ”

"Good. The deputy director then rushed around and said, "By the way, because of the previous Yongmao incident, only three people or institutions can be left in the designer's signature, and the top of the list is the direct honor winner by default, you have to change the information and send it over." ”

Zhou You originally filled in five or six institutions and seven or eight names, but now it seems that he is going to shrink it.

"Then the design teams of [Linghai University School of Architecture], [Shenzhen Art Garden] and [Xiaoyin Lakeside] can be?"

The deputy director emphasized: "This can't be done, the first one must be the chief designer, or the agency to which the chief designer belongs, and the agency requirements must be registered, and nothing can be hung up casually, which is also strictly required because of the Yongmao incident." ”

"There's no way around it, I'll think again. ”
