Chapter 636: Inspiration from the Light
Although Su Leqing successfully said that he moved Mr. Lyle to renovate his wine estate, Su Leqing still needed to design the church before a professional surveying company could finish surveying the estate. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
As for the design of the church, to be honest, Su Leqing did not have a preliminary plan in mind, but from the information obtained by Mr. Lyle, the first thing is that the style of the building should not be too old, and it should not be the same as other churches in Weimar.
Secondly, the lighting should be good, otherwise Mr. Lyle will feel too dark.
Finally, the church should not occupy too much land, because Su Leqing is going to renovate the entire wine estate, if the church occupies too much land, he will plan that the layout of the entire wine estate should not be too high, if it is too high, so that the light and sight of the wine estate will be blocked, whether it is for the scenery or for the grapes, it is not good.
Su Leqing took a pencil and began to think about the design of the church, if you want to design this church, you must first have a shining point, so that you can design the church according to this shining point.
Obviously, this shining point has to be found in the lighting.
After all, for Mr. Lyle, what he cares about most is the lighting of the church.
"Lighting! Light...... Light ......," Su Leqing muttered with a frown.
After thinking about it carefully, Su Leqing still didn't have a clue, and looked at the time, it was already nine o'clock in the evening.
It seems that I can't think of any thoughts today.
Thinking of this, Su Leqing took a change of clothes and prepared to go to the bathroom to take a shower.
When he opened the door, it was pitch black outside, obviously the Werner family had already rested, Su Leqing saw this, and hurriedly walked out of the door lightly.
But when Su Leqing inadvertently saw the shadow on the ground out of the corner of his eyes, he was suddenly stunned, and there seemed to be a spiritual light in his mind.
"This ...... Light ......" Su Leqing's eyes suddenly showed a look of surprise, he seemed to have found the key point to break the game.
Thinking of this, Su Leqing ran into the bathroom, and then casually flushed it with cold water, and then hurriedly ran back to his room.
Then Su Leqing picked up the pencil in his hand and drew it on his sketchbook.
Soon, a cross jumped on the paper, Su Leqing did not stop, and continued to draw a few radioactive rays of light around the cross to represent the sun.
In this way, it is as if the cross is shining brightly.
And this is the shining point that Su Leqing wants to express.
When he opened the door just now, it happened to be pitch black outside, and the light in his room shone out from the inside, pulling his shadow long, maybe this looks very ordinary, but if Su Leqing was directly opposite at that time, there happened to be someone, he could see that Su Leqing seemed to be bathed in light, if the light was a little stronger, the effect would be better.
And this is the breaking point that Su Leqing thought of.
As Christians, Mr. Lyell prays every day in the church, if behind the cross they pray is a transparent floor-to-ceiling window with a picturesque view of the mountains in the distance.
And when it comes to prayer, it is the time when the sun rises from the mountain, and at the right time, the sun is shining brightly, like the sun's rays from the floor-to-ceiling windows, and all the worshippers can bask in the rising sun, feel the holy light of God's blessing on all things, and also make the cross look more holy.
And in this way, the direction of the church, Su Leqing can basically be determined.
The doors of the church face west, while the direction of prayer is east.
Since Mr. Lyell wanted enough light, there was no need for any strong light on the north and south sides, and instead of doors, the worshippers who came to pray could enter through the west gate and go out from the north and south sides, so that there was no need to worry about being too crowded.
In order not to block out the scenery and sunlight of the wine estate, the church could not be too high.
With Su Leqing's idea, soon the first plan took shape.
When Su Leqing saw his first plan, even he couldn't help laughing.
"Is this the first plan I designed?" Su Leqing looked at the plan on the drawing a little speechlessly.
The scheme is similar to a hexagonal cone, with a floor-to-ceiling window on the east side with a cross on the window, and glass doors on the north, south and west sides, topped by the church's characteristic spire.
To be honest, although the entry point of this plan is very good, the building is a little too ugly, and even he blushes when he looks at it, but fortunately no one sees that this is his plan.
Su Leqing took a closer look at his design plan, although this plan is not very beautiful, but the shining point is very good, as long as the whole building looks more beautiful, it should be a very classic plan.
After taking a closer look at his plan, Su Leqing found that this spire looked very abrupt.
Recalled, Su Leqing found that the reason why he designed this spire was mainly because the spire was basically the standard configuration of the church, and most churches had a spire, so Su Leqing would design this spire.
Since the spire seemed so abrupt and discordant, and Mr. Lyle needed a church like no other, why not do away with it?
But even if the spire is removed, the shape of this church is still very ugly.
How to make the building more beautiful on the premise of retaining this shining point?
Su Leqing frowned, if the spire was removed, then the building he designed would simply be a bowl upside down on the ground, and there was really nothing beautiful to speak of.
The first thing to change in order to create a building is the frame that makes up the church.
Su Leqing tried to modify the straight line into a curve, and slowly, with Su Leqing's modification, the plan improved, but it still could not reach the point where Su Leqing was satisfied.
And the top of the church without the spire is also somewhat flat, and it looks very mediocre.
"Since it's so flat, let's get up and down. Su Leqing muttered to himself while holding a pencil and began to revise the plan.
As Su Leqing modified little by little, the whole plan slowly changed.
Originally, it was horizontal and vertical, but at this time, everything has changed, and it has become a curved wavy line.
And the whole program has changed dramatically.
If the previous plan was to build a square frame, then buckle it with a piece of cloth, and then open the door and window, then the current plan is to remove the square frame, so that the whole cloth becomes undulating, as if about to fly.
Viewed from the east and west sides, the building section is a 'W' shaped wavy line, with all the bearing points supported by the roof itself, as each wave falls significantly to the ground, rising to a peak at each wave of the roof structure.
The undulating architectural form echoes the undulating hills in the distance, and is perfectly integrated into the entire wine estate.
