Chapter 312 Gothic Architecture

It is Mr. Tong, and it is the active advocacy and promotion of Mr. Tong Ning and others that make the three elements of architecture become the general principle of architectural aesthetics. ”

When Professor Qian Zhengying helped Li Huayong say this, Li Huayong stopped talking, he first smiled at Old Qian, and then turned his head to stare at Dr. Kong again, he saw Dr. Kong Da with a gloomy face, and his face was extremely ugly.

Who is this Mr. Tong Ning? Why is he so lethal to Dr. Confucius? It is necessary to briefly popularize science for people who don't know much about architecture.

Mr. Tong Ning, an older generation of architects in China, is a rare master in the architectural field who integrates China and the West, and interprets the past and the present. Together with Mr. Liang Sicheng, Mr. Yang Tingbao and Mr. Liu Dunzhen, he is known as the "Four Masters of Chinese Architecture". To put it simply, the status of the above four in the construction industry is basically equivalent to the level of "East Evil, West Poison, Southern Emperor, Northern Beggar" written by Mr. Jin.

Compared with other gentlemen, Mr. Tong Ning's expertise lies in architectural theory and architectural aesthetics, especially in classical Chinese garden art, and is an authority in this field. That's why he immediately changed color at the mention of Dr. Kong. Because in what he just said in the lecture, Mr. Tong Ning is precisely the representative of "small foot aesthetics".

Li Huayong continued to stare at Dr. Kong, and he stared at Dr. Kong with the eyes of a victor.

Yes, Li Huayong thinks that he has no need to say much now, and at this time, I am afraid that even the people who eat melons will judge themselves as winners. At least I said that today's lecture was "not nutritious" before, and now there may not be many people who will question it.

Don't you forget that the "general know-how of Wuhan Iron and Steel" used in Western architecture is the thinking of the Chinese, and even the highest norms of Western architectural aesthetics are advocated by the Chinese, and there are too many contents of Eastern aesthetics in it. In this case, what kind of face do you have to sell your dog skin plaster here and peddle your so-called "bigfoot aesthetic"?

Li Huayong stared at Dr. Kong for about a minute, and seeing that he was still sitting there, Li Huayong suddenly became a little interested, and the third question he had prepared was no longer ready to be asked.

It must be admitted that Li Huayong is actually quite kind, after all, Dr. Kong is just a "public knowledge", although this kind of person is annoying, but after all, he is not the real bad guy in the traditional sense, and now he sees that the lethality is enough, and Li Huayong does not have much spirit of "beating the water dogs", so he is now ready to retreat.

"Tongtong, Xiao Kai, let's go. ”

However, to Li Huayong's expectation, he was ready to retreat, but the people who ate melons stopped doing it, especially the junior students who came to listen to the lecture, they may not have enjoyed watching the drama yet, so Li Huayong had to say the last question.

"Brother Yong, don't go. Zhao Shujun stood up from his seat and grinned:

"Brother Yong, Brother Yong, why are you leaving? Didn't you just say that there are three questions, and now you have only said two, so what about one more question?"

Li Huayong looked in that direction and smiled at Zhao Shujun friendly: "No questions, all the questions have been asked." ”

"I know you must still have it. Zhao Shujun looked like the kind of master who was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, and while she said this, she simply walked out of her seat and pulled the girl named Su Qing to Li Huayong's side.

"Let me introduce to you, this is called Li Huayong, and he is our... Brother Yong, hehe, although our brother Yong has not gone to college, but he is a veteran in the industry, and he has participated in many major projects and well-known projects, such as the Pengcheng World Trade Center in Pengcheng and the Bank of China Building in Xiangjiang, isn't it Professor Qian?"

Zhao Shujun pulled Lao Qian out first, and used him to prove Li Huayong's identity, and as Lao Qian smiled and nodded, she said to the teachers and students in the classroom: "Just now we all heard Brother Yong say that he had three questions, and now he has only asked two, do you want to hear the last question?"

"I want to...."

There was a not-so-neat response in the classroom. Li Huayong knew that this kind of response was not because everyone really wanted to hear it, but mainly because it was a beautiful woman who was asking, and in a school like Jitong University, especially in the civil engineering department or architecture department, beautiful women have always been a scarce resource.

Now that the big beauty of Zhao is speaking, and there are more beautiful Lei Da beauties and Su Da beauties who are also beauties standing next to her, how can they say a word.

Seeing that the will of the people cannot be violated, Li Huayong, of course, can only be good. His third question is actually related to Mr. Liang Sicheng, considering that this question is not as sharp as the first two questions, and he doesn't want to continue to "beat the water dogs" now, so he did not ask Dr. Kong directly to Dr. Kong, but changed his tone and said to Zhao Shujun in a joking tone:

"Okay, Mr. Zhao wants to know, right? Then I'll ask you now. ”

"Ask me? No, no. Zhao Shujun shook his hand again and again in fright: "I can't answer your question, hehe." ”

Zhao Shujun said so, but this "hee-hee" revealed that she actually wanted to hear it.

"Student Zhao should have some understanding of European Gothic style and Gothic architecture, right?"

Seeing that Li Huayong really asked himself, Zhao Shujun glanced at him, and then replied cautiously: "I don't know much, I can only say that I know this style, I know that Gothic, as an artistic style, is widely used in architecture, sculpture, painting, and even literature, music, clothing and fonts and many other artistic fields, and is one of the most representative cultural symbols in Europe, Brother Yong, right?"

Li Huayong nodded with a smile and encouraged Zhao Shujun, and then he continued:

"The Gothic style was first used in the Renaissance to distinguish the artistic style of the Middle Ages, and its origin comes from the fact that it was in 3~A.DIn the 5th century, the German Goths invaded Italy and dismantled the Roman Empire, and in the 15th century, the Italians had the idea of reviving ancient Roman culture, thus setting off a splendid Renaissance movement.

After a pause, Li Huayong continued: "The original meaning of Gothic is actually the meaning of "barbaric", but although the word has a somewhat negative connotation, in fact, the artistic value of a large number of Gothic style works is very high, and the influence on Europe is also very great. Take the Gothic architecture that we are familiar with, for example, this kind of architecture originated in France in the 12th century, its heyday in the 14th and 15th centuries, and then began to decline after the 16th century, then rose again in the 18th century, then declined again in the 19th century, and now in the 20th century, this architectural style seems to have become popular again, and now it seems to have become a trend. So now I want to ask you, what do you think is the reason why this style rises and falls, like the ebb and flow of the tide?"

Zhao Shujun hesitated slightly: "Isn't it, is it related to the dark nature of this style?"

Li Huayong nodded and agreed with Zhao Shujun's statement. The main characteristics of Gothic architecture, its key words are towering, eerie, eerie, terrifying and mysterious, which is an exaggerated, asymmetrical, peculiar, light, complex and multi-decorative architectural style, as for its main representative elements, including black costumes, bats, roses, lonely castles, crows, crosses, blood and black cats and so on.

As long as you see these words, you can fully imagine what kind of style this is. Of course, this is the dark style that Zhao Shujun just said, and this dark style can't be prosperous all the time, so of course it's normal.

After doing so much foreshadowing, Li Huayong finally threw out his own questions; That's right, the ebb and flow of this style is indeed related to its darkness, but Mr. Zhao, have you noticed that in recent decades, the Gothic style has begun to rise again in the Western architectural world, and if you look closely, you will find that the current Gothic architecture seems to be different from before, while retaining the essence of the original style, the current Gothic architecture is not as dark and decadent as before, and it seems to have been genetically modified, so do you know who genetically modified this style?"

Zhao Shujun couldn't answer this question, but with her previous experience, she guessed that Li Huayong might have to say another Chinese.

"Brother Yong, tell me quickly, which master of our country is this?"

Li Huayong said with a smile: "I didn't say this, but the most famous architect in the West at the moment, last year's Pritzker laureate Hans, Hlein, said that Gothic architecture can be re-emerging, thanks to a Chinese gentleman." ”

"And who is this gentleman?"

Li Huayong didn't answer immediately, learning the lessons of the first two times, considering that there was another best person next to him, Li Huayong set his eyes on Professor Qian Zhengying.

didn't think that Lao Qian didn't say the answer this time, he shouted at Li Huayong: "Xiao Li, don't sell Guanzi, who are you talking about?"

Li Huayong was happy in his heart, he didn't think about this question but he was even stumped by the old money, he reminded the old money;

"Professor Qian, you shouldn't have forgotten the train station in Jilin Province, our country, right?"

The train station in Jilin? Lao Qian was stunned at first, but he quickly came to his senses, and Lao Qian, who guessed the answer, laughed:

"Haha, I see. ”

Li Huayong smiled slightly, at this time he was really ready to retreat, and he said to Lei Yutong and the others:

"Alright, now let's go. ”

Li Huayong walked out of the lecture hall, Lei Yutong and Lin Kai walked out of the lecture hall, and even Zhao Shujun and Su Qing followed them out of the lecture hall.

After walking out of the door, Li Huayong also heard Lao Qian announce the answer loudly there:

"Who else could it be?" Mr. Lin, Mr. Lin Huiyin, Mr. Lin Huiyin......"
