Chapter 188: The Cornerstone of Modernism (Subscription Requested)
"The Barcelona American Pavilion?"
When Bai Hengtong heard this, his eyes blinked, and his expression was a little strange. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Yes."
"Designer Bai Jue, this Barcelona Expo will have an immeasurable impetus to the development of modernism!"
President Masson didn't notice the strangeness in Juetong's expression, but added more and more seriously.
"Barcelona Fair."
Jutong's face became more and more strange, and he whispered in his heart.
He then looked at Milo. Masson: "President Masson, sit down first. ”
"I wonder if you can give me a detailed introduction to the Barcelona Fair and the requirements of the Barcelona American Pavilion?"
Jue Tong said softly.
Chairman Masson nodded and began to elaborate: "This is a professional world exposition, which will be held in Barcelona, Spain, in 2003, and will last for about 100 days..."
He continued to explain, and as he perfected his understanding, he was surprised to find that the Barcelona Expo that was going to be held seemed to coincide with the Barcelona Expo in his mind.
"I don't know..."
With a strange expression, she interrupted President Masson's words and asked, "I don't know what the theme of this Barcelona Fair is?" ”
"World Art!"
Milo. Masson said in a deep voice.
Hearing this, she finally determined that this Barcelona Fair had been held in the same way in another world, also in Barcelona, and the only difference was probably only the difference in time.
The Barcelona Exposition of the world was held in 1929 and had a great influence!
He first squinted his eyes into the distance, felt the eternal light and scorching temperature, and then looked at the cars and people in front of the building.
"Zhuang Zhou Mengdie, or Mengdie Zhuang Zhou."
Jutong muttered to herself.
At this moment, at a certain moment, Jue Tong even thought that there was really such a high divine mansion in the boundless sky of heaven and earth.
That god's mansion is overlooking all living beings, controlling their fate.
The Shrine brought him another world's heritage and gave him the mission to lead the development of modernist architecture.
Otherwise, why such a coincidence?
He had just pointed out the shortcomings of modernism, and now the Barcelona Fair was delivered to him.
"There are many styles within the modernists, but they are not uniform."
"There is no obvious development context, and there is no effort to make a piece."
"There is no brightest banner erected, no faith leads the way..."
"There is no more basic theory to base it on..."
"And even... Not radical enough! ”
Jutong kept thinking back to her previous words.
He stared slightly, remembering another Barcelona fair in another world.
As he said, the modernist architecture of this world has no flag, the development of the genre is not clear, there is no lighthouse architecture, and there is no basic theory.
And that world, there happened to be such a pavilion at the Barcelona Fair!
It was developed by Mies, one of the four standard-bearers of the modernists. Every. Morality. The design of Master Luo is one of the initial achievements of modernist architecture, representing the foundation, lighthouse and starting point, which laid the cornerstone for the development of modernism!
It's just that the pavilion belongs to Germany, and it is the German Pavilion in Barcelona.
Miss. Every. Morality. Master Luo's greatest achievement lies in the establishment of a new language of steel architecture and the in-depth establishment of a steel building system.
His emphasis on fidelity to structure and materials, as well as his emphasis on simplicity and meticulous detailing, is known as the 'Mies style' by all designers around the world.
Miss. Every. Morality. Luo pioneered a complete style and path, and his ideas have influenced every modernist designer in the world.
In fact, each of the four standard-bearers of modernist architecture in that world has created a clear concept and style.
The entire modernist architecture was developed in the direction they pioneered, and finally swept the world.
The world where Bai Hengtong is located lacks these four masters, lacks the theories and paths of these masters, and lacks the influence of the masters to bring various styles together.
The early morning sun shrouded the white dove through the glass, and he thought and made a decision in this sunlight.
President Masson looked up at the right time, and wondered if it was an illusion, but he felt that the young man in the golden sunlight was unusually tall and unusual, which made people look sideways.
"German Pavilion in Barcelona."
She thought about the pavilion in her heart.
The pavilion was designed to guide modernism and to showcase the design concept.
In other words, it itself appeared in order to show the world a new architectural space effect and treatment method.
Not blindly showing off his skills, everything is extraordinarily clear, and his status in the history of modernist architecture is staggering.
Its important position is different from that of the Sydney Opera House, but in terms of foundation and development.
It's the most basic textbook, and it's just right for today's world!
After thinking about it inside and out, Jue Tong suddenly grinned on his face and showed a bright smile.
He no longer thinks about the so-called divine mansion and fate, but he is willing to take on this mission and responsibility, and he will become the father of modernist architecture in this world!
Jutong stretched out his right hand and five fingers to block the sun in front of him, and slowly held his fingers together, as if to catch the sun.
"President Masson."
She turned around and looked at Mi Luo. Masson, an extraordinarily confident crisp voice, shouted.
The president of the American Architectural Chapter looked at him.
"I would like to accept the position of lead designer of the American Pavilion in Barcelona."
Jue Tong straightened his face and replied in a deep voice.
Milo. Ma Sen looked at the dove and smiled, for some reason, he was inexplicably a little excited in his heart, as if his actions today were really pushing the modernists to the fast lane.
President Masson stood up and walked quickly to the front of the dove tree, their big hands clasped tightly together.
It was a historic scene, but unfortunately no one was able to record this great scene.
In later generations, President Masson will grow old.
On a sunny afternoon, he was interviewed by a British BBC documentary reporter.
When describing this moment, President Masson still had a smug look on his face and said that it was the wisest decision he had ever made.
In the café, the two had an in-depth exchange for a long time before leaving.
That night, President Masson, Adrian. Smith, along with the two masters of the modernists, took the last flight to China.
"Kid, what are you thinking?"
On the plane, President Masson and Adrian Anderson were on the plane. Smith was next to him, and the young designer seemed to have something on his mind.
"President Masson, I don't know if I'm missing something."
"You mean..."
"Before boarding the plane, I was on the International Forum of Architects, where I learned that designer Masayuki Kurokawa had publicly announced that he would be following Mr. Shira.
"Kurokawa Yazhi, designer Bai Juetong will be the leader of his design path."
......
When President Masson heard this, he was dumbfounded.
He shook his head and chuckled, and patted Adrian again. Smith's shoulder: "There is no doubt that the young man is very decisive and intelligent. ”
"But everyone has their own way, and believing in yourself is the most important thing."
