Chapter 208: Bai Juetong's Four Lectures (Ask for Subscription)
Half an hour before six o'clock, the Rockefeller Auditorium at the University of Chicago was already crowded. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
In addition to the students of the university, you can see many famous people in the auditorium throughout Chicago and throughout the United States.
There are well-known first-time and first-class masters, famous scholars and professors, and Chicago's top rich...
In a corner, some young students looked at the faces in the auditorium with excited faces wide open, and exclaimed in a low voice from time to time:
"Hey, look at the door!"
"Located in the Midwestern city of the United States, the master of the house, Dieter. Rams is coming, and Luigi. Master Kraney! ā
"As a white dove designer, I have never seen so many masters gather together in my life."
......
Another group of people, the same group of students.
Some students glanced at the top rows of seats, where each position had been arranged earlier, and they could not sit down casually.
"It's a big show, and if you look at the front row, those seats are either masters in the room, well-known scholars, critics, tycoons, and even the president of the American Institute of Architects."
"Wait!"
"Who are those who sit next to the masters, they are so young!"
His gaze wandered over the faces of the masters, and then suddenly stopped.
"I saw Adrian. Mr. Smith, there are a few other Asians who should be members of the team of designers of Bai Juetong. ā
"Strange... Those people are a little familiar. ā
"Shhhhh
"Damn it!"
"That's Emily, and Pete and Anthony!"
"God, how can they sit there!"
......
The atmosphere in the Rockefeller auditorium was scorching.
Compared with the recent lecture at the Great Hall in Chicago, tonight's lecture will have a more comprehensive audience and a higher value.
Not only designers, but also design-related fields have emerged elites.
Little by little, the clock was soon six o'clock.
The lights of the audience suddenly dimmed, and the front row lights of the podium lit up, making the entire podium stand out in the auditorium.
The blackened crowd remained silent, their eyes fixed on the front.
Almost at the same time, Bai Juetong's figure appeared on the side of the podium, shrouded in the spotlight.
He is tall, wearing a suit and a white shirt, his steps are calm and indifferent, and he has his own sense of rhythm when walking.
Even if someone deliberately measures it, they will be shocked to find that the distance of each step taken by Bai Juetong is extremely accurate, and the error is negligible.
Standing in front of the podium, Bai Juetong's gaze roughly swept over the auditorium.
In the end, he first made a slight gesture to the scholars, masters and others in the front row, and finally nodded with a smile to Banxia, Qianhe, and Su Mu.
"Good evening everyone, I'm Bai Juetong."
Bai Jingtong's eyes were bright, and he only listened to his deep voice.
In tonight's lecture, the banner that Bai Jue Tong will wave is also from one of the four masters of another world, Frank. Lloyd. Wright.
Compared to Mies. In the case of Master van der Rohe, the influence of this master in the United States was even wider.
He was originally born in the United States,1 and the direction he pioneered was also centered on American culture, which was born in the United States.
The American Association of Architects of that world once did a survey and came up with an unequivocal answer:
Frank. Lloyd. Master Wright is the greatest architect America has ever seen.
In design schools in the United States, the same results were obtained:
Frank. Lloyd. Master Wright is the architect who is most respected and loved by his students.
"The content of my speech tonight mainly includes seven design concepts and six principles."
Bai Jingtong paused slightly, and then said in a deep voice.
As the words fell, the masters, scholars, critics, and students in the audience who were listening first chuckled in their hearts, and then almost simultaneously showed surprise.
"Isn't it a continuation of the three design principles from last time?"
"Another idea? Principles again? ā
"How is that possible?"
"Could it be another modernist road?"
"Impossible, absolutely impossible, do you think this is Chinese cabbage?"
"So many masters of our modernists are deducing, but we haven't found a unified path so far, how can it be so easy!"
......
There was a whisper of discussion in the auditorium.
Master Jamie, Master Seamus, and Rams and Kranney, who arrived later, also looked moved, and the four top masters had their heads slightly close and didn't know what they were talking about.
For the discussion, Bai Hengtong's eyes were unfazed, and after a while, he stretched out his hand and made a slight downward gesture.
At this moment, the white dove seemed to have unparalleled prestige, and after the gesture was made, the auditorium fell silent at the same time.
"As in the previous round, the core of the project is still space."
I only heard Bai Jingtong say in a deep voice: "And the content of this round is mainly not in commercial buildings or public buildings such as large office buildings. ā
"The focus will be on residential buildings."
"We need to explore the establishment of spatial meaning and its expression, and its context starts from the entity to the space, from the static space to the flow and continuous space, and then develops to the dynamic space of the four-dimensional sequence unfolding, and finally to the dramatic space."
In the auditorium, the camera recorded every expression and every word of Bai Juetong, and some reporters took images from all angles.
Just listen to Bai Jingtong continue:
"The first idea, advocating the architectural concept of nature"
"If our architecture is alive, it should reflect the more vivid human condition here today."
"It is a higher expression of human nature, the greatest record of human literature, and the most faithful record of times, places, and people..."
The first idea was constantly being told in depth, and the audience frowned and fell into thought.
"The second concept is to establish a local architectural culture."
"In the United States, for example, based on absorbing the valuable things of folk traditions, we can create America's own culture..."
"The third idea is that technology should be at the service of art."
"The house should also have the streamlined shape of ships, airplanes, and automobiles, so the structure should show continuity and plasticity, seeking a sense of space for a new era."
"The fourth point is to express the nature of the material..."
......
Seven ideas and six principles pop up one after another.
The master in the audience and all the rest of the audience no longer had any superfluous reactions, and only quickly wrote down the opinions that Bai Jingtong said in the notes they carried with them.
They don't even have time to be shocked at this time, they only feel a tingling on their scalps, they only feel their hearts pounding, but then you have to devote yourself to the lecture with full attention, for fear of missing even a word.
This is another road, not in the direction of high-rise buildings, steel and glass.
This road looks more to the dwellings and to the essential materials of the building.
President Ma Sen swallowed dryly, looking at Bai Juetong a little distracted.
For modernist architecture, residential architecture is undoubtedly a real pillar of the genre's development.
In fact, in another world, modernist architecture began to be promoted in the mass construction of residential buildings
Seamus. Master Chevas's eyes were filled with the figure of Bai Juetong, and the ideas and principles in his ears made his blood boil.
This is the direction he is seeking!
Scholars working on the architectural culture of the United States have fallen into a frenzy...
The audience reacted differently, but most could know that the sky was about to change again, and another system of chaotic modernism was proposed!
