IPFA, the full name of the Belgian International Architecture Award. The award was created in 1957 by the Belgian National Institute of Housing. It aims to reward outstanding contributions in the field of residential design. The award consists of two awards, one for single-family housing and the other for apartment building.

This award has two characteristics: First, the winning candidate must be a professional architect. 2. The winning candidate must be a national of a member state of the European Community, and the winning building must also be a member state of the European Community. Therefore, this award is a regional architectural award that Europeans play behind closed doors.

The Gold Nugget Award, sponsored by the Pacific Building Association. This is one of the top annual events in the global real estate industry and is known as the "Oscar" of the global construction industry.

The oldest and largest event is renowned for the rigorous selection of master architects from all over the world. The annual Gold Nugget Award is given to developers and designers who have made outstanding creative achievements in the architectural design, land planning and use of residential, commercial and industrial projects around the world.

Like the Oscars, the Nugget Awards, which advertise themselves as not commercial awards, are judged on the aesthetic, innovative and effective value of buildings in their design and planning. Often, some of the best architectural projects of the year, which are fully innovative and challenging in the industry, so as to set a new height, are the most favored by a jury composed of architectural elites from all over the world.

Now there is no one else, after Lin Yinghu said that this matter was handled by Lin Wei himself, he and Lao Lu left first, leaving Li Huayong and Lin Wei to discuss the follow-up matters.

Li Huayong was talking to Lin Wei: "Lotus, I think the Golden Nugget Award is needless to say, the current limelight is simply catching up with Pritzker." Pritzker is the Nobel of architecture, and it is known as the Oscar of architecture. Pritzker is a master architect, and the Golden Nugget Award is dedicated to training fashionistas in the world of architecture. And marble, I think it's more appropriate for fashionistas to promote it..."

“… As for the RIBA you mentioned earlier, Lotus, haven't you noticed that the influence and credibility of the IPFA has surpassed that of the RIBA? Now all European architects are proud to have obtained the IPFA. As long as it can be recognized by the IPFA, it basically means that it is recognized by the whole of Europe. Therefore, I think it would be most appropriate to choose these two awards for PR if possible. ”

Li Huayong didn't realize that there was anything wrong with his endless talking, until Lin Wei's eyes widened:

"I haven't seen you look at these things before, how do you know so much?"

Li Huayong was stunned. Yes, how can I know this? These insights are obviously beyond the scope of a contractor with a high degree of Chinese proficiency, especially the domestic contractor in this era.

Just when Li Huayong didn't know how to explain, Lin Wei suddenly said again:

"By the way, I forgot that someone has a Tongtong sister, you can tell me honestly, are you two very close now?"

Li Huayong couldn't cry or laugh, and some studies have shown that some people think that women's imagination and brain circuits are actually more strange than men's. To be honest, Li Huayong was skeptical of this research conclusion before, but seeing Lin Lianhua's current performance, Li Huayong couldn't help but believe it.

"Speak, why don't you speak. ”

For this kind of flying vinegar, fortunately, Li Huayong now has a little experience in dealing with it:

"This....Lotus, I'll be honest with you, since I made up my mind to soak you, I'm actually under a lot of pressure, so I'm ......"

Li Huayong didn't continue, and threw Lin Wei a "you know" expression. Lin Wei's eyes were slightly closed, and he was quite a little focused on Qingbo, looking forward to Mangu's meaning:

"Oh, you're really a dog who can't spit out ivory, and what bubbles are so ugly. ”

Li Huayong put his mind at ease, the key at this time is not to listen to what she says, as long as he sees Lin Wei's eyes narrowed into a slit, Li Huayong knows that she is probably in a good mood.

Of course, the most important thing now is to be able to get in touch, even if the organizing committee of these two awards is not enough for the time being, but there must be an architectural firm or a well-known architect who hopes to win the award. In this regard....."

Speaking of this, Li Huayong didn't continue again, and looked at Lin Wei with straight eyes.

If you want to do this well, this is the key to the problem. Of course, the current Li Huayong does not have any channels in this regard, but does Lin Wei have it? To be honest, Li Huayong has no bottom in his heart.

Li Huayong knew that Lin Wei graduated from the Department of Architecture of the Technical University of Munich, and was born in the European architectural industry, and her family was also rich, but the construction industry, like many other industries, also paid more attention to "seniority", based on Lin Wei's age......

After listening to Li Huayong's words, Lin Wei didn't speak immediately, she lowered her head and was silent, as if she was thinking about something, and as if she was recalling what connections she had in Europe.

Two minutes later, Lin Wei raised his head and said to Li Huayong: "It should be said that the two awards you chose are indeed the most suitable, but it's a pity, I don't have any channels in this regard." ”

Li Huayong was a little disappointed in his heart, but it was also expected, and he comforted Lin Wei in turn:

"It's okay, I want to take this path now, I'm too ambitious, if I can't do it, then let's retreat first, RIBA will be RIBA, I believe you should still have a way in RIBA." ”

Lin Wei smiled at Li Huayong: "How do you know that I have a way in RIBA?"

Li Huayong smiled, looking at Lin Wei without squeaking, he said in his heart You are too stupid to ask this question, with your boyfriend's IQ, this is not an easy thing to deduce?

First, the RIBA is hosted by the British, and you are from Hong Kong. Second, when you first discussed this issue, the first thing you mentioned was RIBA, if you didn't have a way, you could blurt it out like that?

Li Huayong was looking at his girlfriend with a sense of superiority in IQ, but Lin Wei's next sentence greatly surprised him, and also gave Li Huayong a big surprise.

"Of course there is a way for RIBA, but since you think it's low-grade, then I won't consider it, but now I think of another award, Ah Yong, do you see if it's suitable?"

"Oh? ”

"Yong, what do you think of the Akahan Architecture Award?"

Hearing this name pop out of Lin Wei's mouth, Li Huayong was not calm, his eyes widened, and his voice stammered a little: "What, which Akahan Architecture Award?"

Lin Wei seemed to be very satisfied with Li Huayong's reaction, and she smiled and threw Li Huayong a roll of the eyes:

"What else could there be? Of course, there is only one Akahan Prize for Architecture in the world. ”

"Hahahaha!"

Li Huayong laughed out loud almost out of shape: "If you can really go through the path of Akahan, then it will be difficult to get rich even if you want to get rich in the future......"

What is the origin of this "Akahan Architecture Award"? Can Li Huayong lose his temper so much. To explain this problem, we must start with the three major schools of world architecture.

The architecture of various ethnic groups and regions in the world is very different, and if different divisions are adopted, it is not known how many genres can be divided. If the most general division is adopted, the industry usually thinks that there are three major schools of modern architecture.

First, European architecture, a school centered on Europe and encompassing North America. As for why the level of American architecture is so high, why it does not have its own school? This does not need to be explained too much, because the history of the United States is short, and the history is short, and it cannot precipitate its own fashion culture.

Not only architecture, but any other fashion industry in the United States is actually dominated by Europeans, such as Hollywood, where the top stylists are almost all Europeans. For example, various luxury brands abound in Europe and few in the United States. For example, in our country, later generations often heard some buildings say "European style" and "Nordic style", but I have never heard anyone say anything about "American architecture" and "American style". That's because American architecture has never been a genre in its own right.

The second school is naturally the Chinese school or the oriental architectural school centered on our country. In addition to Chinese architecture, there are two places where the architecture of Oriental architecture is more influential, one of which is Japanese architecture and the other is Asan architecture.

In recent decades, Japanese architecture has risen rapidly, especially after entering the 80s, they have won several Pritzker Prizes alone, but it is a pity that although Japanese architecture is strong and has become more and more influential in the world, it is far from the status of "founding school", and only recognized Japanese architecture as a "subculture" of the oriental architectural school in the architectural world.

In the Oriental architecture, in fact, it is a real pity that the Ah San building, objectively speaking, the Ah San building is actually very distinctive, such as their "Taj Mahal", which is indeed a very classic building.

Even the architecture of our country, in a sense, is deeply influenced by the architecture of Ah San---- and if you open the history of ancient Chinese architecture, you will find that many well-known architects in ancient times seem to be monks. As we all know, Buddhism was transmitted to our country from Ah San.

The reason why Ah San's buildings do not have the influence they should have is that their situation is the opposite of that of the United States, because their country does not have the strength. Without strength, the corresponding thing naturally does not have much influence, which is an iron law common to the whole world.

In addition to European architecture and Chinese architecture, the third most influential school in the world is naturally the Islamic school of architecture.

Why did Li Huayong be overjoyed when he heard about the "Akkahan Architecture Prize"? Because this architecture award is the most important architectural award within the Islamic architectural school.

After coming back to his senses a little, Li Huayong quickly asked for information about the "Akahan Architecture Prize" in his mind.

Established in 1977 by King Akahan IV, the highest spiritual leader of the Shiite Muslims, the Akahan Architecture Prize, recognizes outstanding contributions to contemporary architecture, social housing, community rehabilitation, preservation and renewal of historic buildings and neighborhoods, and landscape design......

Now you know why Li Huayong is happy, right?

First, it is most appropriate to decorate Islamic architecture with this colorful marble, even more so than European architecture, because Islamic architecture, that is the thing that likes this dark tone the most.

Second, as long as you think about those tyrant countries in the Middle East, if these stones can be sold to that place----- Li Huayong is already fantasizing about the days when he counts his money and counts his hands cramps.

However, there is one last question, Li Huayong did not think that this kind of marble is actually the most suitable for Islamic architecture. It's just that he doesn't dare to think about it, there is no way in Europe, where can he dare to think about the way of the Islamic world.

Li Huayong raised his head and looked at Lin Wei in confusion:

"Lotus, how can you have such a channel?"

Lin Wei glared: "You look down on people again, right?"

"No, no, no, that's it, that's it, it's too unexpected. ”

Seeing Li Huayong stammering, Lin Wei sneered: "I'll tell you the truth, in fact, it's not that I have anything to do with it, if you want to do this, in the final analysis, it will fall on the second uncle." ”

"Second uncle, your second uncle wasn't ...... just now."

"Actually, it's not the second uncle, to be more precise, this matter needs my sister's help in the end. ”

"Your sister?"

At this time, Li Huayong felt that his brain was not enough, and said in his heart, aren't you an only daughter? Why did you have a sister again? However, Li Huayong quickly reacted, the person Lin Wei said should be a cousin like Lin Kai.

Now Li Huayong also understands the general situation of Lin Wei's family, and the sister she said should be Lin Yinghu's daughter. However, it is very strange that when he was in Xiangjiang at the end of last year, Li Huayong only saw Lin Yinghu alone, but he never saw his wife and children.

Li Huayong gossiped in his heart: "Yo, it turned out to be your sister, what is the origin of your sister? There is still such a channel, by the way, there is also the second uncle, how can the second uncle ......?"

Lin Wei suddenly changed his face: "I don't know, if you are interested, ask him yourself." ”

Li Huayong suddenly found that Lin Wei's eyes were looking at him very strangely, and there seemed to be ice cream flowers trembling in his eyes:

"You men, none of them are good!"

After saying this inexplicable sentence, Lin Wei actually left by himself, leaving Li Huayong alone in a daze.

It took Li Huayong a long time to come back to his senses, and Li Huayong, who came back to his senses, shook his head and smiled bitterly, Second Uncle Lin, who is like Maitreya Buddha, actually has an Islamic daughter?

Lin Yinghu's Maitreya Buddha-like image came to Li Huayong's mind:

"It seems that this second uncle is also a person with a story. Well, lying gun, I was definitely lying gun. ”
