On one side, Masayuki Kurokawa looked at the image frozen on the screen with a complicated complexion. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Of course, he knows the cultural core of this design, and even when Bai Hengtong was designing, he was the first assistant.

He is the person who knows this courtyard and this building the best except for Bai Juetong.

"I once said that the future of China's architectural path cannot abandon its past, and its core should be found in culture."

"Our 5,000-year-old history and culture are too long."

Bai Jingtong spoke, and he said with a smile: "I don't know how many ideas and aesthetics are contained in the vast culture, which are waiting for our designers to discover and refine." ”

"What I'm talking about today is a kind of cultural kernel that I have distilled."

Bai Jingtong paused slightly, revealing his thoughts, and then slowly chanted a poem:

"The green and the green are uneven, and the first red has overlapped. The atrium is swept at the beginning of the floor, and the trees are surrounded by three or two leaves. ”

The crowd in front of him listened carefully and considered in silence.

I only listened to Bai Jingtong say.

"When the garden is full of fallen leaves, we don't clean the fallen leaves, and we will naturally leave some fallen leaves."

"But survival is natural, and randomness makes perfect."

"This is what we are doing in China."

The voice wanted to be in everyone's ears, ringing in Kurokawa Masayuki's ears.

Masayuki Kurokawa then whispered to himself: "The garden is full of fallen leaves, clean it clean, meticulous..."

"This is what we do in our island nation."

Mr. Wu, President Xue, Minister Chen, and everyone nodded lightly in agreement.

"The core of the China Pavilion I designed is the Chinese Zen culture."

Bai Hengtong glanced at everyone and continued: "Chinese Zen is human touch, Zen is a kind of 'Tao', and 'Tao' is our culture. ”

"Our Zen culture advocates 'broad and beautiful', 'broad' is not pomp, and 'beauty' is not kitsch."

"Our Zen culture pays attention to liveliness and emphasizes vitality."

"Vivid, changing, interesting, everywhere maintains a kind of 'live' artistic conception. Water should be tortuous, pay attention to living water; Mountains and rocks should be continuous and echo from far and near; Trees should be of different sizes and have their own charm. ”

Bai Juetong's voice became higher and higher, and he said in a row.

The sound was thick and echoed through the conference room.

"When the building is placed in it, it should also interact with the scenery, or cross the water, or echo with the rocks, or play with the trees. Being able to make a bunch of emotionless dead things vivid and affectionate is 'living'. ”

Everyone listened carefully, and Masayuki Kurokawa listened even more carefully.

The current path of the island country is in the Zen culture, which seems to remain in their bones and is the direction they have opened up.

He can't help but be cautious and make comparisons.

"The Zen of our island country is cold, and the pursuit is a kind of 'small and sad' artistic conception."

Masayuki Kurokawa pondered: "The Zen of the island country emphasizes 'death', like dry landscapes. ”

"Western geometric gardens and modern landscape planning also emphasize 'death', and each has its own depth of 'death'."

Still pondering, Bai Juetong's words sounded again, only to hear him say:

"We crave life, we crave unexpected joy, which is the difference from 'death'."

"After all, what our country dislikes the most is 'death'."

When he said this, he stopped abruptly, as if he remembered something, he first glanced at Masayuki Kurokawa not far away, and then retracted his gaze and added:

"Of course, the word 'death' here is not derogatory, it's just two different ideas."

Wu Lao and Xue Lao's cloudy eyes became brighter and more transparent, and when they looked at the picture beside Bai Hengtong again, they seemed to be able to understand more and more.

Minister Chen, as well as leaders and experts, also looked cautious, with joy on their faces.

Bai Jingtong continued: "'Living' can be understood as flexibility, but also as vitality, and it can be summarized as 'change' in the Book of Changes. ”

"It is not only necessary to pay attention to 'live' in setting scenes, but also to move to different scenes; when writing poems, we must pay attention to 'live' and have infinite intention, and when painting, we must pay attention to 'live' and leave blank space to breathe; even if it is a building that has been despised by literati since ancient times, we must also pay attention to 'live'."

Bai Juetong paused, and a smile appeared on his face:

"I don't know if any of you have noticed the roofs of ancient Chinese buildings."

"If you pay attention, then you will find that there is a cheerful and comfortable arc, which is called 'anti-universe to the sun'."

"Our ancestors even have to embrace the sun on the roof, integrate with heaven and earth, and thus be full of vitality!"

Bai Hengtong continued to analyze Chinese Zen, while Kurokawa Masayuki continued to compare the Zen of the island nation.

"Doing it to the extreme?"

He was a little distracted, frowned slightly, and whispered:

"Then we should have taken 'death' to the extreme, creating a sad mind."

"Most of the ancient roofs of the island country are straight, simple and cautious, neat and elegant, which is full of Zen, and this is also 'death'."

"Is the tendency to make 'death' absolutely absolutely out of our country's calamity-plagued situation?"

He retracted his thoughts, looked at Bai Jingtong again, and then said, "It should be." ”

"'Living' is not only 'vitality', but also 'don't do absolutely, leave room for it'.

Bai Jingtong stretched out his hand and gestured in a semicircle, and continued: "This is the concept that the moon is full and the moon is lost..."

Time passed imperceptibly in Bai Juetong's analysis.

Everyone in the room felt that their eyes had been opened, and they had discovered the true meaning of applying Chinese culture to the contemporary era.

Including Wu Lao, everyone recalled the scenes and objects of the previous China Pavilion, and it was only then that they truly realized the concept, aesthetics, and culture contained in such a courtyard.

"This is truly a Chinese pavilion that contains the core of China."

Someone spoke everyone's mind.

"If Dacheng is lacking, its use is not harmful; If the big profit is rushing, its use is endless. If you are straight, if you are clumsy, if you are clumsy, if you are arguing. ”

Bai Juetong's voice suddenly increased, and he once again recited the ancient sentence summarized by his ancestors.

"This is beauty, the incomplete beauty that the West pursues."

"The most perfect thing seems to be broken, but it is not wrong to use it; The fullest thing seems to have emptiness, but it is infinite to use; The most upright thing seems to be bent; The most delicate thing seems to be clumsy; The most astute answer seems to be that it is still suspicious..."

The voice fell, and he exhaled slowly.

A flush rose on his face, and he only heard Bai Hengtong finally say:

"In China, the highest evaluation of design can be described in one word since ancient times."

"Although it is made by man, it is like nature, this is also the highest state of 'living'!"

After speaking, he bowed slightly to the front of the stage.

There was a round of applause in the room!

Wu Lao, President Xue, and Minister Chen took the lead, and everyone looked at Bai Hengtong and applauded.

Without a doubt, this is the best Chinese pavilion!

"On behalf of the country, I would like to express my deep gratitude to you!"

Minister Chen stood up and bowed deeply to Bai Jingtong.

"Designer Bai Jue, thank you."

"The way of Chinese architecture is not to extract ancient elements, not to apply those things from thousands of years ago to modern design!"

"Its culture should be tapped."

President Xue and Elder Wu also stood up, their faces solemn, and bowed deeply to Bai Jingtong.

On Bai Hengtong's side, Masayuki Kurokawa was also applauding, but he was also thinking.

"'Small and sad' and 'broad and beautiful'."

"'Frigidity' and 'human touch'."

"'Life' and 'Death'..."

He said to himself.

"In the end, it's better or worse, whether it's high or low, or..."

I don't know what kind of answer I came up with, but Masayuki Kurokawa was silent.
