In the next few months, Su Leqing can be described as a beautiful scenery, Wanfo Temple and Spiral Hotel won him major domestic architectural awards, Luban Award, Zhan Tianyou Award, Liang Sicheng Award, Huaxia Construction Science and Technology Award, Green Building Innovation Award, the five major domestic architectural awards, Su Leqing Trophy certificate to get a soft hand.

It can be said that Su Leqing has become the hottest designer in the domestic architectural industry, Su Leqing's design appointments are also continuous, so Su Leqing himself has also created a design company specializing in architecture, of course, most of the design, Su Leqing has handed over to the designers he poached from various design institutes, with his value, if it is not for the architecture he is interested in, he will not take the initiative.

Of course, there is another reason, he has been waiting for the results of the Pritzker Architecture Prize to be revealed.

The Pritzker Prize for Architecture is known as the Nobel Prize in the field of architecture. It was founded in 1979 by Jay Pritzker and his wife, Cindy, and sponsored by the Hyatt Foundation.

Every year, more than 500 architects engaged in architectural design are nominated, and a jury composed of renowned architects and scholars from all over the world selects an individual or group of architects and scholars in recognition of their intelligence, insight and dedication in architectural design, as well as their outstanding contributions to human beings and the built environment through the art of architecture, which is known as the "Nobel Prize in Architecture".

And Su Leqing is almost the most dazzling architectural designer this year, and naturally he was also nominated, and he has been waiting for the announcement of this award, because once he wins this award, he will be the first person in China to win the Pritzker Architecture Prize, which can be said to be the highest recognition of an architectural designer.

……

Chicago.

In a lavish hall, nine people of all colours and colors are seated on the judges of this year's Pritzker Architecture Prize, recognized professionals in their fields of architecture, commerce, education, publishing and culture, and they are here to select this year's Pritzker Architecture Prize winners.

"First of all, I would like to remind the judges that the principles of the Pritzker Architecture Prize are fair, impartial, and open, and that no judge should treat candidates with personal feelings...... and secondly, all comments must be substantial "Grover North, the oldest member of the committee, felt it necessary to remind the new members of the caution.

"Okay, from now on, the first thing we need to select is Nick Ellis, a designer from RUI Architects in New York, USA, as the founder of RUI Architects, Nick Ellis's design style continues ......" With the introduction of the staff, Nick Ellis's information and his works also appeared on the huge screen in the hall.

"Now give everyone half an hour to think about ......"

Half an hour passed quickly, and the oldest of them, Grover North, coughed lightly and began to express his opinion.

"Nick Ellis's work is good, but as the founder of RUI Architects, I think his design style is too commercial and doesn't have the local flavor of his own country...... I don't think he's fit to be the winner of this year's Pritzker Architecture Prize. ”

"Seconded!"

"Seconded!"

"Seconded!"

“……”

After Grover North explained his views, many of the judges seconded them, saying that they had similar views to Grover North, and that they were too commercial to be worthy of the Pritzker Architecture Prize winner.

If the votes are less than half, the candidate will be eliminated outright.

With 500 candidates involved, it doesn't happen overnight to select a Pritzker Architecture Prize winner.

A month later......

"This time, the designer is from China's Su Leqing designer......"

When they heard this, the nine judges immediately showed interested eyes, after all, they had never won the Pritzker Architecture Prize winner by a Chinese.

"He is the founder of China Qingyue Architectural Design Institute, he is also a very famous entrepreneur and designer in China, his design style is based on innovation, the design scheme is widely acclaimed, and this time the design is a new type of building based on rotation, with innovative ideas will be religious characteristics, geographical environment and modern technology elements ingenious integration, simple and agile shape, rigorous appearance and quite creative......"

The Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple and the Spiral Hotel designed by Su Leqing appeared on the big screen.

Seeing these two buildings, the eyes of the nine judges lit up, and after looking at the work for so long, this was the first work that made them feel novel.

"Su Leqing, who participated in the bidding for the Piazza della Musique, is he ?!!!!?" exclaimed one of the judges.

"What's wrong?Merveen?" Grover North said as he looked at Mervyn Bell.

"I know him, it's unbelievable that he designed it. As the editor-in-chief of the world-famous Domus architecture magazine, Mervyn Bell was naturally one of the judges of the Pritzker Architecture Prize.

"Oh, you know a Chinese designer? It's really surprising. Grover North said.

Mervyn Bell nodded: "Indeed, as the editor-in-chief of "DOMUS", I have met countless designers, whether they are talented rookies or long-established masters, but there are very few that have left a deep impression on me, and this Su Leqing is one of them. ”

"Do you know how old this designer is Su Leqing?" asked Mervyn Bell.

"Mervin, don't sell it, tell us directly!"

"22 years old!"

Hearing this, the whole hall was in an uproar, it is unbelievable that a 22-year-old architect can design such a building, although there are many talented designers appearing, but to design such a design at the age of 22, it is really unique.

"Yes, why I was so impressed with him, because he designed the Lyell wine estate and the Church of Light in Weimar. Mervyn said.

"What? He designed it? It's incredible!" said one of the nine judges, a traveler.

He had been to the Leale Wine Estate before, and was full of praise for the design there, and also knew that the reason why the Leere Wine Estate is now famous all over the world and become a tourist attraction in the hearts of tourists is that the designer can be said to be a great contributor, but he did not expect that the designer of the Leyle Wine Estate is actually a designer from China.

"Yes, in addition to that, he was also involved in the design of the Piazza della Musica in Florence, and his work is the Piazza de la Musée Bay. Mervin said.

"Really?" surprised the architects on the judges.

After all, the original Florence Music Plaza bidding incident was in an uproar, almost so that the world-renowned team 'Dawn Light' could not come to the stage, if it weren't for the rules set by themselves, the Florentine government might have chosen the Moon Bay Music Plaza, and Su Leqing's 'Moon Bay Music Plaza' Although he didn't win the bid, his reputation for this plan is much more famous than the Holy Light Music Square of Dawn Light.

"Ahem, no matter what the designer has designed before, we are mainly commenting on his candidate works now, give everyone ten minutes to consider it, and then start voting......" Grover North saw that the topic seemed to be a little off-track, and quickly coughed lightly.
