Chapter 179: A Corner of Moby Dick (Ask for Subscription, Reward)

Bai Juetong stood in the center of the podium, and the non-dazzling spotlight was following him. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

He was dressed in a black suit, a white shirt with no tie, and even the top two buttons of the shirt were unbuttoned haphazardly.

The audience's attention was on the youth.

In the corner of the corridor on the second floor, the radio host was broadcasting in a low voice.

The gaze is the focus, and he enjoys the attention!

His gaze swept over the masters, from the three Tianjiao, and then at the reporters on the second floor.

He saw that the corners of Bai Xuantong's mouth were slightly raised, and his eyes flashed with excitement, and he recalled in his mind the descriptions of the Sydney Opera House in various fields of that other world.

The well-known architect once said:

"From the point of view of the characteristics of the times, this is an extraordinary work. It successfully led the rise of a generation of modernist architecture and its influence on later generations. ”

"It's new, it's leading to technological advancements, it's redefining what public buildings mean, it's becoming the most important city landmark and even a national symbol!"

"Its popularity lasted for half a century and spread throughout the world..."

"In a constructive sense, the whole design and construction process of the Sydney Opera House is a very good textbook!"

Architectural critics with great tastes can't help but be obsessed:

"For a public building, function and aesthetics always need to strive for perfection, and we prefer to evaluate public buildings from the perspective of public aesthetics, rather than architects' aesthetics."

"But the most amazing thing about the Sydney Opera House is that it is an excellent building that is highly consistent with the aesthetics of the public and the aesthetics of the architects!"

"Imagine all the great buildings of the 20th century, the Villa Savoy, the Church of Longchamps, the Kimbell Art Gallery, etc... Even when it comes to Gaudí's work, its influence among the general public is far less than that of the Sydney Opera House. ”

The Sydney Opera House is also a favorite place for countless celebrities and nobles, and even Queen Elizabeth II came to it on the day of its construction.

It's great enough, but the Sydney Opera House in this world will still shine even brighter!

Because it will be the work of two masters working together across time and space!

She retracted her thoughts and whispered: "On the Pacific Ocean at sunset, the Sydney Opera House will be like a few pure white sails, shining in the sun." ”

"It would be the most beautiful theater in the world......"

"Good afternoon, judges."

Jue Tong's expression immediately became solemn and saluted the judges slightly.

After straightening up, I saw Jue Tong turning sideways and raising his hand.

There are projections that fall at the same time as the gestures, and a picture of about four open sizes, with blurred tones and dreamy colors, is displayed in front of everyone's eyes.

It is the blue sea, the blue sky, the headland, the white sails with layers of elegant posture...

There seem to be seagulls flying in the sky...

The light is sprinkled on the picture, and the light flows faintly in the painting...

Even the masters in the audience were stunned.

At the level of six masters of the art who have entered the room, they can undoubtedly judge that this is a very high level of painting, and the use of light in it is unique even in the field of painting.

Can... What's the use of that?

This place is the final stage for the competition design of the Sydney Opera House!

Everyone looked at Bai Juetong with doubts.

In their eyes, Bai Jingtong was upright and straight, with a serious expression, like a spear.

"Hmm..."

Jue Tong opened his mouth, but what he gave was not the explanation that everyone thought.

"This painting was completed by my daughter-in-law after staying up for two days and two nights, don't forget to return it to me when the competition is over."

I saw that Jue Tong instructed very seriously.

Ooh!

As soon as these words came out, the audience was dumbfounded.

"This kid is still a warm man!"

There is humanity.

In the waiting area, Banxia sneered and laughed, her face was very seductive.

What no one expected was that because of Huang Tong's words today, because of the status of this Sydney Opera House, and because of Banxia's superb skills, this painting was auctioned at a sky-high price in later generations.

"Sydney City is full of low-rise small houses, and most of the houses are made of red bricks."

"This lays down the whole tone of Sydney City, which is slightly dim and doesn't have enough light."

After a while, Jue Tong spoke again, still without a direct explanation, only listening to him: "And not far from the headland is the exaggerated giant parabolic steel structure of the Gangwan Bridge, and the thick pillar piers on both sides. ”

"In my vision, the project should have a white long-span building in the middle of these ordinary residential buildings based on red bricks, like a huge white sail in the sea showing its light and shadow changes in the sunset."

As he spoke, his gaze turned to the masters:

"It also needs to be connected to the parabola of the Harbour Bridge to create an overall urban landscape, so that the form of the Harbour Bridge is not too abrupt."

"In this way, the forms of these two monuments will appear to complement each other and echo each other."

Bai is analyzing his views on the competition project, the venue, and his own design philosophy.

The masters nodded their heads when they heard this, and they looked thoughtfully at the projection painting.

"That's right, this watercolor painting behind me is my representation of the opera house in the venue."

Jue Tong nodded in response.

At the request, the staff zoomed in on the angle of view, and the picture became clearer and condensed to the white mass on the headland.

The reason why it is called a mass rather than a building is precisely because the layers of white sail-like volumes have no details, only a general outline.

"Designer of Bai Jue Tong."

Modernist master Seamus. Chevaste raised his hand and asked in a deep voice, "This white volume is your opera house?" ”

Jutong nodded: "Yes sir." ”

The brief conversation fell, and the masters looked at each other with much more serious expressions, watching the picture carefully.

Gradually, they went deeper and became aware of the meaning of the painting.

They first saw the relationship between the building and the headland, and then saw its relationship with the harbor bridge, the relationship with the sea, and even the relationship with the city...

The masters became more cautious and continued to observe.

The gaze fell on the layers of blocks, there were no details and only blocks, which was a problem for the average judge, but enough for the masters.

As the saying goes, you can see the leopard in the tube, probably so.

"It's a huge shell roof."

There is a master whispering.

"It's too fanciful that an opera house can use such a curvilinear form?"

There are masters who question.

"But will such a form make people gradually ignore the feeling of vertical support from the senses, and change along the curve, and the curve will be as beautiful as a musical note?"

There is a master and another way.

Each master only felt that the more he watched, the more shocked his heart became, and this was just a manifestation of coming out of the body.

In the eyes of the masters, the figures on the picture have long been erected.

The opera house is so light and elegant in shape that it is completely integrated into the natural environment with the city and the sea as the background.

It successfully links the horizontal space and the large platform connecting the city with the towering roof into a whole, and reduces it through the repeated gradient of the units, weakening the huge volume of the individual roof, and forming a shocking whole with the Harbor Bridge!

"In terms of dealing with the momentum of the sea, the technique used by this opera house is also very amazing, revealing the wisdom of the Orientals."

Masayuki Kurokawa, a master of the island country, said in a low voice: "Miss Kelly's work is like a boulder that exists forever, and I stand still despite the raging waves. ”

"But the designer's treatment of this point reminds me of the philosophy of the ancient Chinese."

"Their ancestors once said that it is better to control the water and block it, than to sparse it."

"In the face of the waves, the opera house designed by Bai Juetong chooses to ride the momentum and step on the waves!"

"Like white sails about to travel away, carrying hope and time!"

The three heavenly prides were stunned and swallowed dryly.

Is this really an opera house?

The opera house is supposed to be old and elegant, why is it like this?!

It shatters the perception of the trio!

The reporters in the corridor looked at the pictures with wide eyes, but their reactions were completely different from the former, they could not understand, they only felt that the pictures were beautiful but could not see through the buildings.

The six masters and the three Tianjiao looked at it for a long time, and their faces were solemn.

But soon, the masters didn't know what they remembered, they suddenly appeared, shook one after another, and let out a long breath.

The two modernist masters showed regret, the two classical masters showed their happiness, and the two world-class masters of the island country became calm and indifferent.

Adrian, Kelly Neleski, and Masayuki Kurokawa looked complicated.

The Sydney Opera House only showed a corner and amazed the master and Tianjiao, causing their hearts to be shocked and shaken, and repeated and repeated.
