"Speaking of which, the concepts of 'church' and 'music' in the city no longer mean more prayers to God and choir performances, but more to the church's converted concert hall and symphony orchestra. Although the 'hymns' and Beethoven's 'solemn mass' were still played at the opening ceremony of the concert hall, the Gothic church with its 14th-century façade, known locally as the 'Concert Church', is suitable for a wide range of musical performances, from classical to contemporary. Transforming the church into a concert hall is an idea, but also an inheritance. Lin Chun'e continued.

Zhang Tianyuan thought for a while and said, "When it was rebuilt, how was the situation?"

Lin replied: "At that time, there were nearly 20 architects and engineers involved in the renovation project. It is the acoustic design engineers who usually give a lot of criticism to the architect in the design of the concert hall, and in this project they were involved in the architectural design from the very beginning. A transparent glass firewall divides the recital space into two parts, the recital hall and the foyer, and the acoustics in the recital hall are improved. The recital hall has 850 seats on two floors facing the stage and one floor behind the stage, and the foyer is located under the church's bell tower. ”

"In this case, should I also hire more architects and engineers for the renovation project of this courtyard?" asked Zhang Tianyuan.

"It's different, the concert hall is different from the living place after all, you are a courtyard house, and the three of us are enough. Lin Chun'e said with a smile.

"Oh, I see, I've heard that the old building is now being restored. There is a saying that 'the old is as new' and 'the new as the old', how did you get this church when it was renovated?" However, in order to renovate his courtyard, he also made up some support. It's not that I don't know anything.

"Contrary to what we usually call 'old as new' and 'new as new', architects in Europe and the United States usually use the latest building techniques, materials and techniques appropriately in such projects, so that they can achieve the effect of opposition and unity with ancient buildings. ”

"Is that okay?"

Lin Chun'e nodded and said, "Of course, I went to the site to visit." In this project, the interior of the church hall has a clear width of more than 22 meters, which is a bit too large for the good acoustic effect of Zào, so the architect moved the audience seating facilities inward away from the façade of the church, and specially designed transparent acoustic reflectors on both sides of the auditorium and under the ceiling, making the concert hall a reasonable 17-meter wide indoor space. It feels like a whole space has been created in the interior of the church.

In order to prevent the high Gothic windows of the church from interfering with the reflection of sound waves. Engineers installed a transparent echo panel in front of these heavy windows, and at the same time set up corresponding echo panels between the high windows. A glass and steel echo board that moves like a floating cloud is also hoisted over the stage and the auditorium, which can significantly improve the acoustics of opera performances.

The ceiling of the concert hall consists of 72 pyramid-shaped glass structures that not only reflect sound waves, but also serve as an artificial source of light for the concert hall. It is possible to change the state of the light source behind the pyramid ceiling to obtain the lighting effect adapted to different styles of concerts. Acoustics aside, outstanding construction techniques and the right choice of materials are the highlights of this church concert hall. Enjoying a concert here is not only an auditory pleasure, but also a feast for the eyes. ”

"So good? Designer Lin, do you say that if I want to transform this courtyard house into something more ancient, I have to move a lot of places?" asked Zhang Tianyuan.

"You're on the point. Seriously, if you just want to live in people, then this courtyard house doesn't need to move too much, just like Boss Tie said. Just renovate and you're good to go. But if you want a different feel, make the whole yard more suitable for modern life and suit your taste. That's going to have to be overhauled. Lin Chun'e replied.

"Big change?

"It's better to simply tear it down, redesign it, and rebuild it. After your yard is demolished, there will be a lot of old materials. Rebuilding with these materials will save a lot of money and will keep the original style as much as possible. Lin Chun'e said.

"Aunt Li, Boss Tie, what do you think?" Zhang Tianyuan was a little unsure.

"If you want me to say, this yard is good, but after all, it was built during the Republic of China, and there are many places that are not as good as the courtyards of the Ming and Qing dynasties. Besides, everyone's aesthetic is different, and if it is redesigned and rebuilt, it can also meet many of your requirements. Tie Ruisheng hurriedly said.

"It's not impossible to tear down and rebuild, but this design is a problem, the current designer, it is difficult to design the architectural style of the Ming and Qing dynasties, even if it is roughly the same, but many details are not quite right, if you have drawings it is easy to do. Aunt Li thought for a while.

Speaking of this, Zhang Tianyuan's eyes lit up.

It's better to ask for others than for yourself!

Who are you? I am a person who has the recipe for imitating words, even if there is no design drawing, I only need to go to the existing Ming and Qing Dynasty buildings to see, using the trick of appreciating words and imitation of words, you can get the exquisite skills of the craftsmen at that time, plus I was originally studying archaeology, and I also know very well about archaeology and architecture, modern architectural drawings will not be drawn, but are better at the drawings of ancient buildings, which is basically no problem.

"Aunt Li, if there are drawings, can it be transformed to the original?"

"Of course, the drawings are the biggest problem, and some lost skills are also troublesome. ”

"Aunt Li, leave the drawings to me, I'll do it. Zhang Tianyuan said with a smile: "I have a friend who specializes in collecting drawings, and it is said that he has the design drawings of the Ming and Qing dynasties in his hand. ”

Of course, this is another nonsense.

"It's easy to do if you have drawings, Brother Zhang, you don't lack money, as long as you get the drawings. We'll be able to do it right away! In less than three months, we'll be all done. When the time comes, you will be able to own the most extravagant private courtyard house in the entire imperial capital. Tie Ruisheng smiled.

"Time is not a problem, but the workmanship must be fine, Brother Tie. This courtyard house will not be lived in in the future. It can also be regarded as a scenic spot, and I can be regarded as doing my part to protect traditional culture. Zhang Tianyuan said with a smile.

"It's okay, slow work and careful work! We'll take your time for you, but Brother Zhang, this is done slowly, and it costs a lot of money to eat and drink every day." ”

"Money is not an issue, as long as it is reasonable, I will take care of it. Zhang Tianyuan is going to invite someone in charge of finance to manage the finances of the renovation of the courtyard. It's not that he can't trust Tie Ruisheng, after all, his own brother also has to settle accounts.

"That's okay, in fact, if you're lucky, many things in this yard can be used directly after they are removed, so you can spend a lot less on materials. Tie Ruisheng said again.

"Of course, it's best to be able to use the original materials, and the new materials will trouble you, Brother Tie, try to buy some materials that match the style of the yard itself." ”

"No problem, material-wise. Leave it all to you, Brother Tie, are you satisfied with the winery at the beginning? That is our reputation guarantee, if you are not satisfied after the completion, we don't want money. Tie Ruisheng said proudly.

"How can that. Of course, Zhang Tianyuan knew that Tie Ruisheng's words were just kind words.

"That's right, Designer Lin. I'm going to get to that drawing, and I'm going to have to ask you to help me revise it, mainly some modern things. Especially in the toilet, I can't stand the cold and go outside to the toilet. Zhang Tianyuan said with a smile.

"No problem. If you get the drawings, it's best to make a few copies. I'm good to modify it above. Lin Chun'e said.

"Okay. Zhang Tianyuan thought in his heart that he was going to suffer again now, this design was still in his mind, and he had to draw it slowly after he went back.

Fortunately, thanks to computers and a lot of software, it's much more convenient than just using a pen in the past.

"How about it, after reading the courtyard, this plan has been decided, Brother Zhang, do you want us to have a meal?" Tie Ruisheng said with a smile.

"Don't be so troublesome, let's let Xiao Zhang do his best to ask for the drawings, what I want to see most now is that drawing." "Lin Chun'e has always been a workaholic, and when she heard the design drawings of the Ming and Qing dynasties, it was like being scratched by something, and she wanted to see it immediately.

"I still have to go home and cook for the old man, so I won't delay, you two go and eat." Aunt Li also smiled.

"Yes, they don't go, let's go, you can't be stingy. ”

Zhang Tianyuan was helpless, and invited Tie Ruisheng to have a meal in a hotel near the alley, and after he was done, he hurried back to the hotel to complete the drawings, which was related to the renovation of his own courtyard, and it must be to design the most beautiful and creative design drawings throughout the ages.

But this is good, before I got to the hotel, Nie Zhen's phone called.

"Where have you been running these days, have you been happy, hurry up!"

"Where am I going?"

"Come to Yuquan Mountain! The old man wants to see you. Nie Zhen said.

"Oh, it's Old Man Nie, do you know what's going on?" asked Zhang Tianyuan.

"It's time to call Grandpa Nie. ”

"What do you do grandpa kiss grandpa, don't you kid also call him old man?" Although Zhang Tianyuan admired Old Man Nie very much, but he still couldn't call out that Grandpa Nie, he didn't want others to say that he was clinging to the powerful, he was just a little arrogant, and it was enough to care about this Old Man Nie in his heart, there was no need to always talk about it.

"Okay, come over quickly, the old man asked you to come over and have a meal with him. Nie Zhen repeated.

"Okay, I'll be there right away. "Zhang Tianyuan is a person who attaches great importance to feelings, especially for Old Man Nie, he admires him very much, plus this Old Man Nie and his grandfather are old comrades-in-arms, so this can be regarded as a bit close.

Although the matter of drawings is very important, it may be better to go to Yuquan Mountain to calm down, and then draw drawings in a down-to-earth manner.

This time, Zhang Tianyuan didn't let the snake Lin send it, but drove there by himself, and the snake Lin had to be driven out when he got there, and he couldn't go in his heart.

When he arrived at the villa of Old Man Nie in Yuquan Mountain, Zhang Tianyuan saw Old Man Nie sitting in the pavilion playing chess with people, and Nie Qinglan sitting opposite.

Especially this summer, Nie Qinglan is dressed too sexy, and Zhang Tianyuan is a pure man who doesn't have much in that aspect, where can he stand it, if it weren't for the use of air control, it is estimated that a good show of "Little Brother Rebellion" would be staged on the spot.
