Chapter 290: Thank you Principal Lu

What kind of character is I.M. Pei, when on earth, the United States wanted to establish the John F. Kennedy Library in honor of President Kennedy, and I didn't want to be more exaggerated, at that time, there were more famous designers to compete for this position, but in the end, I.M. Pei won as an unknown identity.

And Kennedy's widow Jacqueline also gave such a comment: "Pei's aesthetic design is unmatched, and I chose him after thinking twice"

Really Jacqueline's words are not exaggerated at all, when it comes to architectural aesthetics, I.M. Pei is good at outlining unique beauty with unique shapes, just like this fog capital museum.

By the time I.M. Pei finished explaining little by little, all the discussion disappeared.

Jiang Yuming, a professor at the Department of Architecture of Southeast University, his face was worse than just now, as for why this happened, if you think about it carefully, you can understand that he had a bad face before because he felt that he had been treated unfairly, and now his face is even worse, because he knows that he is still not the opponent of the other party without being treated unfairly.

The following is the key point, after reading I.M. Pei's PPT to describe this design plan, I helplessly found that my design was indeed inferior to the other party.

It's really a nest, and Jiang Yuming's assistant Xiaohu, the unhappy expression on his face froze at this time, and there was a frightened expression in his eyes, which looked very wonderful together.

"Next, I would like to invite the vice president of the China Construction Association to witness that Wudu officially signed a contract with Mr. Pei. ”

As soon as the host's voice fell, the vice president came to the stage, the vice president was very thin, looking at his body less than ninety pounds, and he was trembling when he walked, and he was really worried that he would fall if he didn't pay attention.

However, this is only a visual error. I saw that the vice president took the microphone from the host's hand, and it seemed that he wanted to say two words, which was not arranged in the original plan, but the host reacted quickly and immediately said: "Welcome the vice president to say a few words about the bidding meeting of the Wudu Museum." ”

"I'm going to retire next year, so when I heard that Foggy City was going to hold a building bidding conference. I was invited to be a judge, and I immediately agreed. The vice president said, "Because I want to see a lot of wonderful buildings before others." ”

"The blueprints for each college bid were strong and eye-opening, but when I saw a certain design, it struck me. The vice president's head was slightly raised, as if he was reminiscing about how he felt when he saw this design before.

He continues: "The entire faΓ§ade of the building is finished with silver-grey metal aluminium panels, complemented by dark granite. From a distance, the appearance is very scientific, and at a glance, I was completely attracted by it. ”

"There is no doubt that this design is the design of Qinglan Academy, which is stunning at first glance, but I forced my old heart to calm down. Because I've seen a lot of eye-catching works, but all of them are anticlimactic, and I understand the saying that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. But this work has surprised me from beginning to end, whether it is the visual effect, the use of economy, and even the bite with the surrounding environment is amazing, I use my reputation as the vice president of the architectural association to say that this is an international work. ”

The vice president's press looks like dead wood, but in fact it is a voice full of energy. Especially when it comes to the words of international-level works, it is categorical.

"Actually, I have a lot of doubts about why such a good architect would become an architecture teacher at a holiday college. ”

You said that you can forget about these famous universities such as Southeast, Tongji, Tsinghua University, etc., and you can accumulate deep contacts by working in these universities, but Holiday College is really strange.

The vice president turned. Facing Pei, he asked: "The design of the Wudu Museum is very mature, I think its designer must not be the first time to design a work, so can you satisfy my curiosity and tell me what the previous design work is." ”

This question is also what other contestants want to ask, and I won't say anything about losing to Qinglan College, an academy that is completely unfamous in the architectural world, but the key is that even the designer is not famous at all, which is against the sky.

I.M. Pei was silent for a while, and then said, "Strictly speaking, this work is the second time I have been identified as a design for construction. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.

Although I.M. Pei's design is indeed very good, the focus of the vice president is really mature, from the application of some materials, and the use of space can be clearly seen, according to the vice president, the designer has designed at least one or two dozen houses.

It is clear that Pei's answer exceeded the expectations of the vice president and everyone.

"My first work was Blue Academy. I.M. Pei said slowly: "I used to be a designer in Guanzhihong Group, and there were thirty or forty works designed during this period, but none of them were officially approved. ”

"Just now, Mr. Vice President, you asked me why I was in Holiday Academy, because I knew that I was so good in Holiday Academy. I.M. Pei said: "For designers, it is very hard for self-confidence to have their designs rejected again and again, or to be squeezed out by other designers' works, and I have been scolded 34 times. ”

I.M. Pei's voice was low, which was definitely his own experience: "I don't blame my company, because he gave me the most adequate exercise, my first design and supervision of the Blue Academy, it was completely according to my ideas, and it also made me feel confident again, although I seem quite calm now, I am actually very excited, so I am sorry if I am incoherent." ”

Many people at the scene were very touched by what he said, it is really like this, the design plan is like giving birth to a child, it is not easy to hold back an inspiration, and it takes days and nights to raise it, and finally the plan is completed, bidding with others, and finally failing.

Isn't this just that you finally raised your son and wanted to get a hukou, but people told you that your son was too stumbling and didn't give it up, this feeling is the same fuck.

"The reason for my excitement is not that my work won the bid, but that I proved that Principal Lu Shichen's vision is right, and I am indeed very good. In the last sentence, I.M. Pei said very slowly but with extra confidence, outside the public is public and private, I.M. Pei has always called not Silu, let alone Lu Find, but Principal Lu.

Bang bang bang.

The vice president led the applause for I.M. Pei, and then the audience also reacted and immediately applauded.

The bidding of the Wudu Museum is also a big event in the country, otherwise it would not have attracted so many schools to participate in the bidding, so as soon as the results came out, they were reported by various newspapers and periodicals, especially the local newspapers and periodicals in Wudu, which was definitely the headline treatment.

So, Qinglan Academy was in the newspaper again.

"The Rising Master of Architecture, Made in Qinglan Again", "Qinglan Academy Involves Architecture", "The Story Lu Shichen and I.M. Pei Have to Tell"......
