Chapter 223: Gaudí's Barcelona (Subscription Requested)
This time, Bai Jingtong also didn't take too many people on the trip, but Banxia, Su Mu and Kurokawa Masayuki followed. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Arriving in Barcelona, before the construction of the China Pavilion officially began, Jue Tong was still relatively relaxed, and after a simple rest, he couldn't wait to take Banxia out of the hotel.
Perhaps it was because he finally remembered that he still had the identity of the chief designer of the American Modern Pavilion, and Jue Tong first came to the construction site of the American Pavilion.
In charge of presiding over the work here is Adrian, who has had in-depth exchanges with the dove tree. Smith, the most brilliant young genius of American modernism, has also matured considerably.
"Designer Bai, why are you here too?"
Adrian. Smith, wearing a hat on his head, greeted Bai Juetong respectfully, and then asked strangely.
"There's the location of the Chinese Pavilion."
When he heard this, he shrugged his shoulders and pointed to a plot not far from the American Pavilion: "I'm here to supervise the construction of the China Pavilion." ”
"Hmm... I am also the designer of the China Pavilion. ”
After a pause, he added.
His voice fell, Adrian. Smith was startled at first, his face showing shock, but he quickly smiled bitterly and reacted.
It's crazy that the same person is in charge of designing the national pavilions of the two major countries.
"No wonder."
"If it's you, you can."
Adrian shook his head, but said so, and at the same time he began to have a curiosity about the China Pavilion in his heart.
The design of the China Pavilion has never been taken seriously in the industry.
"How's the project going?"
She looked inside and asked.
"I'll show you."
Hand over the construction hat to Dove Tong and Banxia, Adrian. Smith led the two inside: "The rough framework has been completed, and the details are now being added. ”
"It's amazing!"
The American Pavilion in Barcelona is a simple and unadorned building, using the natural colors and textures of steel, glass and marble to show a simple and elegant atmosphere.
Its main hall is rectangular in plan, and the hall is equipped with glass and marble partitions, criss-crossed, separated and continuous, and some extend out to become a wall, forming a semi-closed and semi-open space that is both separated and connected, so that the space between various parts of the interior and between the indoor and outdoor runs through each other.
At this time, this exhibition hall can already faintly see a rough idea, and there is a delicate and rational temperament revealed.
No one is sure about the future of this very small national pavilion.
It will become one of the initial achievements of modernist architecture since its real development, and will also become one of the representative works of modernism, and will be the cornerstone of countless designers' learning.
Jutong looked around carefully, and then looked up at Adrian. Smith asked:
"What's going on with the rest of the national pavilions?"
"Yes, Designer White."
Adrian. Smith listened, and his face became much more serious: "In many Western countries, the classical school attaches more importance to this exposition than we imagined. ”
"France, England, Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden..."
Adrian. Smith reported them one by one, and said in a deep voice: "Every pavilion is a very prestigious masterpiece. ”
"Some of the older masters who have announced the closure of their pens for many years have also been invited out of the mountain again."
"Each of the masters caused a stir not so long ago."
"Some critics and art magazines have declared that this fair will be the pinnacle of art genres."
"Many masters, all classical schools are bound to compete to become the brightest stars of this feast!"
Nodding slowly, Jutong looked at Adrian. Smith, who seemed to have a worried look on his face.
Barcelona is the capital of the Catalan region of Spain, located in southwestern Europe.
It is a typical western city, and the most prosperous old town is full of Gothic architectural style.
The American Pavilion is the most perfect embodiment in the eyes of modernist designers, but it is unknown whether it will be the focus of the European classical school region under the influence of a classical master with great prestige.
"Don't worry, what should come will come."
Dove patted Adrian. Smith's back smiled freely.
"Keep busy, I'll go and hang out somewhere else."
After that, he waved his hand and pulled Banxia to leave seemingly carelessly.
This European city is a world-renowned tourist destination with Mediterranean scenery and is also a world-famous historical and cultural city.
In the heart of the old town, it was once a Roman fortress village with many Gothic buildings.
The ten fingers of the dove and the ten fingers of Banxia are tightly linked, the expression is tranquil, looking at every scenery under the gaze, there are wide avenues, rows of trees on both sides, as well as large squares and churches and palaces left in the Middle Ages...
Looking at the city, she fell into thought.
He knew that in another world, Barcelona was very unusual, far more famous than the Barcelona of this world, it was unique, it was called Gaudí's Barcelona.
Some people say that 'Gaudí' is the heart and soul of the city!
But the great master of this world, Master Gaudí, like the four standard-bearers of modernism, did not appear.
"In the mid-to-late nineteenth century, the trajectories of the two worlds were the same."
Jutong whispered to herself: "The king of Spain in this world also signed the edict of the complete reconstruction of Barcelona. ”
"The business tycoons are spending huge sums of money on the renovation of Barcelona. They like to be creative when it comes to creating new buildings. ”
"In the Barcelona Eixample of the world, you can still see the style that wanted to break through at that time, which belongs to the Catalan style."
"Unfortunately, at the end of the nineteenth century there was a change."
She shook her head with a sigh and longed for the city, her tone full of regret: "This city has not welcomed the master who really makes it brilliant - Antonio. Gaudí. ”
"Four out of ten Barcelona classics in another world are the work of Gaudí."
"I really don't know how crazy and amazing it must be to have an entire city in its own blood."
The dove keeps bringing pictures of another world about Barcelona about Antonio. Gaudí's picture is presented in front of him: "A master loved by millions of inhabitants of a city, and they are proud of him." ”
"I never married..."
"It's a bit silly and crazy in life..."
"He has a big beard all the year round, and he has a gloomy and unpredictable expression all day long..."
"Sought after by Barcelona high society, obsessed..."
He once shouted that there are no straight lines in nature, and that straight lines belong to man, while curves belong to God. Since then, there are no more straight lines in the work, from the roof floor to the doorknob, all of which are beautiful arcs. ”
Jue Tong's eyes were fascinated, flashing with inexplicable brilliance.
The image of a master master is becoming more and more three-dimensional in my mind, which is convincing and frightening.
His work is difficult to categorize because he never plays according to common sense.
"It's great."
With a long exhalation, when Jue Tong looked at the city in front of him again, he felt as if it was missing something anyway, and he couldn't help but say in his heart:
"Barcelona is Gaudí's Barcelona, and no Barcelona is complete without Gaudí."
