Beijing, China, the China Organizing Committee of the Barcelona Expo is conducting the fourth round of the China Pavilion Program Meeting.

Starting from the Crystal Palace, the main building of the first World Exposition in 1895, the National Pavilion has been famous in the history of architectural design every subsequent year.

Architectural design has always been the highlight of World Expos, and this year's Expo with world art as the main body is even more so.

However, in the past, the design of the China Pavilion has always been unspeakable, not only the insiders look worried, but even many cultural people and intellectuals outside the industry have kept talking about the wind and cold.

Someone described the former Chinese Pavilion: "That's basically to paint a dragon and a phoenix on the wall, hang a face or something, at most set up an archway, and even the architectural design is not counted." ”

This year's China Pavilion jury is under great pressure, not to mention the expectations of the people, and even the Ministry of Culture and the head of the Ministry of Culture have more or less expressed their concern.

"Lao Wu, Lao He's plan, as well as the plan of the Architectural Design Institute of Shuimu University, are all good."

The conference room was full of dozens of people, and the screen in front of it was still lit, playing one plan after another.

At this time, I saw an old man wearing a Tang costume on the main seat, and said in a serious voice: "What do you all have any opinions?" ”

"A few months ago, after Designer Bai proposed Chinese culture, the effect can be clearly seen."

A capable woman looked up and responded, "In our final selection of proposals, the works of Wu Lao and He Lao are more inclined to traditional Chinese elements. ”

"On the other hand, the work of the Architectural Design Institute of Shuimu University is more towards modernization, and the theme of this exhibition is world art, and I think Chinese art should be the focus."

"So I support Wu Lao and He Lao's plan."

The woman's voice fell, and the judges around her showed thoughtfulness, or expressed their approval or denial.

"Lao Wu's works extract elements from Tai Chi culture, and Lao He draws inspiration from folk life, the Design Institute of Shuimu University..."

The old man in Tang costume analyzed a few words, and then raised his head: "In this way, let's vote first." ”

......

At the end of the fourth round of the program meeting, three proposals were selected from hundreds of proposals from Chinese people around the world, but in the vote, the vote was once again tied with the number of votes for Wu Lao's works and He Lao's works.

Xue Lao sat back in the office, his old face showing some exhaustion.

He stood up from his position, looked out the window intently, felt a little stunned, and said secretly: "The concept and direction proposed by Designer Bai are still too late, and there are still problems with the combination of tradition and modernity. ”

"Even Wu Lao and He Lao still have tradition suppressing modernity, and they have not found the most perfect integration point."

"It's running out of time."

Xue Lao sighed.

At the same time, Chicago, USA.

It's been a few weeks since the lecture at the Great Hall in Chicago, and the enthusiasm of ordinary people in the outside world has gradually subsided, and designers have begun to conduct in-depth research.

Bai handed over the plan for the American Pavilion in Barcelona to President Masson, and then signed a contract with oil tycoon Andrew.

In the city of Chicago, Bai Juetong easily has the most luxurious assistant team, with a scale of hundreds of people, including even four or five designers who have just entered the palace.

The designers of this team are all Mies. Followers on the path of Van der Rohe.

Drawing plans and concepts, assigning tasks to many assistants, Bai Hengtong was idle for a short time.

A spacious office with sunlight falling to the ground through a Chicago window.

In front of the window, Bai Jingtong and Banxia sat quietly on the sofa.

Holding the pen in his hand in the album, he kept sketching, beside him, the afterglow of Banxia's eyes fell on Juntong's face, and a smile finally appeared in his big eyes.

She narrowed her gaze and quietly looked at the book in her hand.

These days, Bai Hengtong is really busy, and this kind of time belonging to the two of them is even more cherished.

Time passed imperceptibly, and hours passed in the blink of an eye.

"What are these?"

Banxia put down the book and approached Jue Tong, her delicate pretty face pressed against the latter's chest, and her eyes looked at the album in Bai Jue Tong's hand.

On the album, the uniform black ink smoothly combined into one picture after another:

"This is the Horse's Head Wall?"

Pointing his fingers to the patterns, Banxia said suspiciously: "This is a hollow flower window, this is a stone carving..."

However, the hand-painted book of Bai Jue Tong is a typical architectural element of ancient China.

"Yes, the horse-head wall is an important feature of Hui architecture."

The brushstrokes in Bai Hengtong's hand immediately paused, changed the pen to his left hand, and stroked Banxia's long hair with his free right hand: "In the village where the Jiangnan people live, looking up from a high place, the undulating horse-head wall gives people a visual sense of 'ten thousand horses galloping', so it is called the horse-head wall, and it is also a metaphor for the vitality and prosperity of the entire clan." ”

"In the villages where the ethnic groups live, the density of residential buildings is larger, and the contradiction that is not conducive to fire prevention is more prominent, and the high horse-head wall can play the role of isolating the fire source in the case of fire in adjacent houses, so the horse-head wall is also called the fire sealing wall."

"What about this?"

"What does this mean?"

Banxia pointed to another pattern, which was the stained window of the wall.

"The mere high walls can give people an oppressive feeling, and the hollowing out of the wall and carved windows will alleviate this feeling."

And these patterns not only play the role of decoration and beautification, but also have the functions of lighting and ventilation, dustproof, and dividing the space. Strive to recreate the contrast between the virtual and the real. ”

Bai Jingtong was not in a hurry, and explained with a smile on his face.

He was also interested, and without waiting for Banxia to ask, he began to explain to her one by one, explaining the origin, aesthetics and uses of these ancient Chinese architectural elements.

"This is our country's enclosed courtyard and courtyard."

Pointing to a small courtyard on the paper, Bai Jingtong said in a deep voice:

"The courtyard is the main form of expression of Chinese architecture for thousands of years, and in the form enclosed by houses, it is loaded with the ideological concepts and aesthetic tastes of the Chinese."

"This kind of introverted and enclosed but warm and comfortable courtyard space has nourished and nurtured the temperament and character of generations of Chinese, so that it has become the most common traditional way of life."

"Enclosure not only refers to physical protection, but also to establish the relationship between people, enclosing to form an independent and complete local space and feel a sense of security and belonging."

Banxia adjusted her posture slightly, so that she could lean on Juetong's body more comfortably.

Then, her eyes looked at the picture again, and her face flushed slightly.

"It's a pitched roof, and it's almost synonymous with our traditional architecture."

Bai Juetong's voice is neither high nor low, with an indifferent sense of rhythm, which is even more obsessive in this quiet room:

"The sloping roof occupies a pivotal position in the traditional architecture, and the shape design of the sloping roof will make the palace, temple and other palace buildings produce a unique rhythm of majestic, upright, noble, flying and elegant."

"It will also give the residential building a sense of intimacy, nature and warmth."

"Of course, it also has many advantages, such as energy saving, heat accumulation on the top in the summer, and no cold indoors in the winter. Because the hot air runs upwards, the top of the slope can gather hot gas at the intersection of the two slopes. ”

"The wind also runs upward, because the wind will converge through the lower windows to the uphill top windows, so that the indoor ventilation will be better; No water accumulation, good waterproofing..."

"It's cornices..."

"This is a wall of blue bricks and tiles..."

"This is a courtyard house..."

The eight elements of ancient Chinese architecture are drawn one by one in the hands of Bai Juetong.

In another world, there are not too many excellent Chinese pavilion designs.

There was once a Chinese pavilion composed of Chinese elements, and the title of the stop was: "The crown of the Orient, the prosperity of China, the granary of the world, and the rich people." ”

But when this national pavilion was built, it was selected as one of the top ten ugliest buildings in the country by the people of that world.

Bai is ready to design the Barcelona China Pavilion in this world by herself.

Therefore, he started from the eight elements to perceive the beauty and classics of tradition.

At this moment, there was a sudden ticking sound in the ears of the two of them.

Banxia and Juntong looked back at the window at the same time, and found that the dripping raindrops began to fall at some point, and they were falling along the edge of the window.

Bai Jingtong looked at it, a light smile suddenly appeared on his face, picked up the pen, and the chic strokes danced quickly.

The black-and-white picture appears in front of you.

It is the beauty in the Jiangnan building, and the scenery is also in the smoke and rain, and the rain forms a rain curtain along the green tiles.

There is a beauty who looks like a half-summer leaning lazily on the seat...

The painting is beautiful, the people are beautiful, the scenery is more beautiful...

It seems that I was taken back to the ancient Jiangnan by the picture, and I saw the elegant woman holding an oil-paper umbrella.
