The time is April 30th, and the opening ceremony of the Barcelona Expo, which has attracted global attention, will be officially held at 8 o'clock tonight. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

All pavilions will open on May 1, the following day.

Barcelona today is home to masters of all classical and artistic schools, and the leaders of many different countries have arrived.

It's afternoon, in the area of the American Pavilion in Barcelona.

President of the American Chapter of the International Institute of Architects. Masson, Seamus. Cevas, Jamie. Derek and Dieter. Rams and several other modernist masters were standing outside the stadium.

Adrian. Smith was beside several masters.

Bai Hengtong also appeared here, and he looked at the American Pavilion in front of him with a smile, feeling a little emotional.

In another world, the pavilion was the national pavilion of Germany, but now it is the American pavilion.

But the role it plays, the history it creates, is the same.

The masters include Milo. President Masson looked at the exhibition hall cautiously, and repeated in his heart what Bai Hengtong had repeatedly mentioned in his lectures: "Less is more theory." ”

The American Pavilion is very simple, with only one main hall, two annex rooms, two pools, a statue of a maiden, and several walls.

But as the so-called complexity is simple, this simplest element made everyone present feel stirred and satisfied.

The pavilion is simple in shape, stripped of all additional decorations, to highlight the inherent colours, textures and textures of the building itself.

It is very elegant, the floor is made of gray marble, the walls are made of green marble, and even an independent partition wall inside the main hall is specially made of gorgeous white agate stone...

The rest of the glass partition walls are grey and green...

The different colors of marble, the carefully proportioned glass, the crome-plated columns, and all the details make such a box-like building not only not monotonous and vulgar, but exudes a noble, elegant and bright atmosphere.

It is far beyond all Europeans' perception of modernist architecture!

The original modernist reinforced concrete and square box works can also be noble and substantial!

"This is the cornerstone of modernism, and it can play an exemplary role for modernist and non-modernist designers all over the world."

Jamie. Master Derek stared, and after a long time, he said in a deep voice.

This American Pavilion in Barcelona was coveted by modernists, even to highlight it, allowing visitors to focus more on the building than on the internal exhibits.

Milo. At great cost, Masson persuaded everyone who could make a choice, and finally the American Pavilion did not display many exhibits, but represented the United States as an architectural achievement.

It's a pavilion for people to see, and it's an exhibit in itself!

"Contemporary expositions should no longer have the design idea of grandeur and market corners, but should step into the philosophical field of culture, and the building itself is one of the main bodies of the exhibits."

Bai Juetong interfaced.

His words caused several masters of the modernists, President Masson, to nod their heads in unison.

Of course, they had to nod their heads, because this was a pro-modernist statement, a satire of the classical genres, whose pavilions were not magnificent.

"In my opinion, the best way to deal with architecture is to try to cut directly into the essence of architecture, such as space, structure, modulus and form, in a plain narrative tone."

Bai Juetong stood with his hands tied, and it was the Tao again.

The American Pavilion in Barcelona is an ideal for the fusion of technology and culture, and it is far more significant to the world of architecture than the Chinese Pavilion.

"Let's go in and have a look."

Bai Jingtong stepped forward and said softly.

The surrounding pavilions have long been mothballed, and there is no one else here except them and security.

Approaching the American Pavilion, I looked more closely.

The American Pavilion is built on a pedestal, and the main hall has 8 metal pillars surmounted by a thin roof.

The marble and glass panels are simple, smooth sheets that crisscross and are flexibly arranged to form a spatial sequence that is both divided and connected, simple and complex.

The indoor and outdoor areas are also interspersed with each other, and there is no clear demarcation, forming a wonderful circulation space.

Shuttle around the pavilion, even if it's Seamo. Masters such as Cevas, who stood at the pinnacle of modernism, only felt that they benefited a lot.

What kind of exhibition hall is this, this is a three-dimensional textbook.

It is the best use of steel, glass, all modernist materials, and it is the most suitable product of this era!

"It will show the world a quality of architectural art that has never been seen in history."

After a long time, everyone walked out of the American Pavilion and saw only Seamus. Cevas exhaled a long breath, his eyes shining.

"I don't know what kind of impact the world architecture field will be set off by this small pavilion from tomorrow."

Dieter. Master Rams clenched his fists.

"Tomorrow may be the beginning of a real revolution between modernism and classicism."

Luigi. Master Kraney looked into the distance and spoke.

Modernism has sounded the clarion call, but it is a pity that the mainstream of the classical school is still immersed in a scene of comfort and prosperity.

The group walked out of the area of the American Pavilion, and before they had taken a few steps, they could see a magnificent, classical building like the Grand Palace in the distance.

"Which country's pavilion is that?"

Everyone stopped and looked at the national pavilion in the distance, and President Masson asked with an inexplicable smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Pavilion of the French Nation."

Adrian. Smith said.

This national pavilion is also next to the national pavilion of the American modernist, and I don't know whether it is intentional or unintentional, but the two national pavilions are far from each other.

Compared to the Grand Palace-like National Pavilion, the American Pavilion is really not magnificent.

"There was a breakthrough."

Jamie. After careful observation, Master Derick said with a smile: "Classical colonnades, symmetry, proportions and other techniques are applied to Dacheng. ”

"And the Grand Palace has clearly learned from our modernists, and the whole building is covered and shrouded in an elegant glass metal dome."

Everyone smiled and nodded.

The Grand Palace of Classicism has indeed learned many of the techniques of modernism.

"Which Old Master is this?"

Dieter. Master Rams asked.

"It's Master Mario."

"Haha, no wonder, it turned out to be this old thing."

"In the orthodox classical school, Mario is almost second only to the master Williams, but I didn't expect this old fellow to despise us as much as the masters of other classical schools."

"Looks like Mario has woken up."

"It's a pity that he is the only one who is still powerless, and more masters are still intoxicated with authority, but I didn't expect that there would be a figure like Bai Designer in our modernists."

......

Several masters of modernism, Milo. President Masson's expression was unprecedentedly cheerful, and his heart was full of hope.
