Chapter 187: President Masson's Invitation (Three More Requests for Subscription!) )
"I'm sorry, Mr. Masson, I'm late. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
At the window of a café, Bai Juetong approached quickly and said apologetically.
"No, it's early."
Milo. Masson is the president of the American branch of the International Association of Architects, a very strong middle-aged man, and on this day, he took the initiative to ask Bai Jingtong to meet.
Masson stood up from his seat and stretched out his hand to shake the hand, both of them looking at each other.
In Bai Jingtong's eyes, this rare head of a major genre as a non-designer has a very decisive and capable temperament.
He has gray-white hair, a hook-like nose, and a pair of brown eyes.
Although he is no longer young, his body is very strong.
Jue Tong admired in his heart, worthy of being at the helm of the modernist school who can still lead the development of modernism under the suppression of the classical genre.
"Designer Bai Jue, I have been attracted by your talent since the Grand Louvre project."
"I saw it today, and it was really extraordinary."
President Masson smiled and praised from the bottom of his heart.
Masson, the president of the American chapter, has always been unsmiling, but when faced with Bai Juetong, he showed two completely different images.
If it is known by other modernist designers, it must be sighed, it can really be said, the same life is not the same!
"Mr. Masson, you've won the prize."
The two exchanged a few words and sat down.
As soon as she sat down, she caught a glimpse of a thick architectural magazine on the table.
"It's Australian architecture."
Masson explained.
He said, smiling again: "This magazine is the largest architecture magazine in Australia. ”
"Before that, although Australian architecture claimed to only publish excellent buildings and did not care about design schools, in fact, it was mostly biased towards Western classical schools."
As he spoke, Ma Sen opened the magazine and handed it to Jutong:
"This time the magazine has changed, and the whole issue revolves around your two works, the Sydney Opera House and the Church of Light."
"In Australia, modernist architecture is much more influential, and that's all thanks to you!"
Looking through the magazine, the magazine was based on the two works he left in Sydney, and it was highly praised.
Jue Tong glanced at it, looking at the exaggerated description, and couldn't help but feel a little ashamed, but then he glanced at it again!
Translate the content, which is roughly as follows:
"Sydney City was hit by pie falling from the sky!"
"The creation of two world-class landmarks that will go down in history will bring immeasurable value to the city of Sydney."
"The designer is the most important VIP in Sydney!"
President Masson looked at the dove and happily followed, "Not only in Australia, but also in the world, you have caused a more drastic impact. ”
"The architectural techniques introduced at the Sydney Opera House, as well as your design concept and aesthetics, are very innovative."
"Moreover, Bai Juetong Design has broken the conclusion that the top opera house belongs to the classical genre this time, which has greatly boosted the morale of modernist designers!"
President Masson is like a treasure, and he can't stop boasting, looking at that posture, it seems that it doesn't matter if he doesn't hold Bai Juetong to the sky.
"Mr. Masson, don't boast, if you praise me again, I'll float!"
Bai Jingtong waved his hand again and again and said with a smile.
"I don't know why you asked me to come this time..."
He paused, then asked.
"Designer Bai Jue, what do you think of today's modernist architecture?"
President Masson nodded, sat up straight, and looked at Jutong tightly with a pair of eyes, only to hear him ask in a deep voice.
"What do you mean?"
The atmosphere between the two became serious, and Jue Tong thought slightly, and then asked tentatively.
"Anything!"
"It can be the current situation and development of the genre, or it can be the flow and disadvantages of the genre!"
Masson opened his notebook and opened the cap of his pen, which was very rigorous.
Jue Tong nodded, but did not respond directly.
He could sense the seriousness of the president on the other side, and he was deeply aware of the influence of the president in front of him.
It is very likely that because of his words today, under the helm of President Masson, the big ship of the future modernists will sail in different directions.
Be accountable for what you say and do.
Seeing Ma Sen's sincerity, Jue Tong paid tribute to the middle-aged man's freshman and was ready to put forward his opinions, so he frowned and fell into thought.
He should be the most qualified person in this world to answer this question, because he compares the development of the two worlds and can think from an extremely macro perspective.
Constantly recalling the differences and changes between the modernists of the two worlds...
As time passed, President Masson did not interrupt, and even looked forward to the amazing talent of Bai Hengtong in promoting the development of the genre.
Not long ago, the modernists encountered a bottleneck, and it was the two theories of the designers of Bai Juetong that once again pushed this giant ship forward.
But soon Masson found that although with the support of new theories, the masters had indeed broken through the bottleneck, but the development was not as fast as he expected, but still very slow.
He was looking for the crux of the matter.
"Today's modernism..."
After a long time, Jue Tong looked at Ma Sen, and finally opened his mouth and said: "Although I have the theory I proposed, it is still basically a plate of loose sand. ”
"There are many styles within modernism, but they are not uniform."
"There is no obvious development context, and there is no effort to make a piece."
"There is no brightest banner erected, no faith leads the way..."
"There is no more basic theory to base it on..."
"And even... Not radical enough! ”
It's better not to open your mouth, but just open your mouth is a blockbuster, and Jue Tong pointed out several drawbacks in a row.
President Masson listened carefully, and his pen did not pause, for fear of missing important information.
Another design of modernist architecture had a wide-ranging, even outreach, architectural influence.
Groups of advanced designers and architects formed a powerful group to promote the so-called New Architecture Movement!
The content of this movement is very complex, including spiritual and ideological reforms, and it encompasses a wider range, almost all categories of ideology, from philosophy, psychology, aesthetics, art, literature, music, dance, poetry, etc., and in each different field, it has a special content and concept.
Moreover, the modernist standard-bearer designers of that world are very distinct, with a solid theoretical foundation and a clear and coherent development context, and there are landmark modernist buildings as guiding lights for designers.
However, the development of modernist architecture in this world is quite chaotic, and the development of various internal styles is at different levels, some advanced and some slow, but there is no coherent order.
Even the five points of new architecture proposed by the company cannot be fully used as a guideline for the modernism of this world.
Because the five points of the new building are the theories condensed by the whole modernist development of the other world, which is too advanced and advanced for this world!
"White Dove Tree Designer!"
President Masson's eyes widened and he listened excitedly, and his face turned red.
The idea pointed out by Heng Tong was completely beyond his expectations, it was so detailed that it could be used as a precise guide to the development of modernism.
"I formally invite you to be the lead designer of the American Pavilion in Barcelona."
"Please say yes!"
President Masson said, stood up from his position, and bowed deeply to Bai Jingtong with a serious face.
At this moment, he seemed to have completely forgotten the other two modernist masters who were nominated for selection, or that this powerful president was impressed by the company and was ready to act independently!
