Although many experts argue that the twenty-first century should be counted from 2001, the celebration began on December 31, 1999, from east to west in the countries of the Pacific.

Wang Weidong ignored these things, and he and Ou Xiaojun went to Beijing to review the university design sketches commissioned by the architectural design institute.

Now the country is increasing the scale of infrastructure to boost the economy, driving the whole country to be in a hurry to carry out construction, highways, railways, airports, hydropower stations, subways, high-rise buildings rise from the ground, all kinds of new and strange buildings blind your eyes.

This wave will continue to soar for 20 years!

Although Vice President Liu of the Design Institute who came to the Xiangyang Electronics Headquarters Building claimed that this was the result of the design by the elite soldiers they sent to the building, Wang Weidong still suspected that these design sketches were done by a few fledgling hairy boys in the Design Institute, because now the design institute is too busy!

It is not difficult to cobble together the main teaching buildings, libraries, stadiums, dormitory buildings, etc. of different universities.

A big copy of the eternal article, a large copy of the eternal graduation project, why can't the construction design be copied?

It's up to you to see if you can copy it!

"The gate of this school is antique, shaped like a dragon gate, and entering the university is a dragon gate." The young man who came with Vice Dean Liu looked at the drawings spread out on the table and said.

The university gate on the sketch is shaped like a lying rainbow, from low to high, and then from high to low, the highest point is more than 20 meters high from the ground, like a dragon arching its back, looking at it is very imposing.

"This gate looks very wide, what are its exact dimensions?" Wang Weidong asked.

"One hundred and one meters! This has the meaning of the renewal of the Chinese tradition of one-dimensional renewal! College is a new beginning in life. The young man replied.

Vice President Liu sat next to him smiling, Chinese, no matter what you do, you must pay attention to a meaning!

Architecture is the language of design, and it must express a profound meaning.

He was pleased with the performance of the young people.

However, Wang Weidong, Song Yuou, Xiaoyang, and Ou Xiaojun were all stunned, and the gate of a university was actually one hundred and one meters!

How spectacular!

"Have you estimated the cost of the gate?" Ou Xiaojun asked.

"This gate is all made of white marble and marble, and the preliminary estimate is that it will cost about nine million!" The young man replied.

Wang Weidong and the four of them didn't speak, and they were shocked by the number that one gate needed nine million.

"One gate costs nine million, and poverty limits my imagination!" Song Yu muttered.

Vice President Liu found that the situation was not right, and he hurriedly explained: "A gate is designed like this, and the cost of nine million is not much!" As far as I know, there are many new universities and merged universities, and there are many doors designed by more than 10 million in the universities under construction! ”

"No, no, Lao Liu, this thing must be modified, we can't spend all the money on this!" Song Yu said.

Among these four people, Song Yu is the most radical, and even he doesn't agree to do this, and of course the others can't.

Then he began to review the other buildings on the campus, and the more he reviewed, the more ugly the faces of the four became.

"How do I see this stadium looking like the Sydney Opera House?" Ou Xiaoyang asked.

He had just returned from a trip to Australia with his wife, where they celebrated the arrival of the new century, and the shell-like building left a deep impression on Ou Xiaoyang.

"The stadium also has the function of holding cultural events, so we borrowed from the Sydney Opera House to a certain extent." The young man replied.

Then the young people began to explain the design of the main building, which, if completed, would give people the feeling of an all-metal shell.

Wang Weidong thinks that it is very good that the main teaching building is not designed as a White House building, and of course, the small dilapidated building of the White House cannot accommodate many students in class.

And the main teaching building designed by the design institute for them is very futuristic, like a UFO moored on the ground with silver glitter and ready to take off at any time!

When the solar system is about to be destroyed in the future, and human beings are going to go on an expedition to the stars and the sea, they will definitely use this main teaching building!

When the entire design was introduced, Wang Weidong and the other four people did not look good.

"Vice Dean Liu, you go back first, we have to discuss it again." Song Yu said.

Vice President Liu's face also became ugly, and it seemed that Xiangyang Electronics would not let this design project continue.

After sending Vice President Liu and the two young people away, there was a temporary silence in the conference room.

Song Yu broke the silence and said: "You can't do this, if you build this university completely according to this design, I don't know how much money you will throw into it, at least one or two hundred million more than the budget!" ”

"Yes, we don't pursue eyeballs and political achievements, we pursue practicality, and such a building is not suitable for our original intention of building a university." Wang Weidong said.

"Now the domestic architectural design style is like this, the higher the bigger, the better, the more novel and peculiar the better! I miss the old style of architecture. Ou Xiaojun said.

Wang Weidong understood the meaning of Ou Xiaojun's words, and built a lot of Soviet-style buildings in the Northeast from the 50s, which was a calm style.

There are several universities in the Northeast that are actually in this style.

Of course, there are many such buildings in the capital, and there are such styles in the top ten buildings of the year.

"I can get in touch and find a few designers from the big northern countries to help us design this university." Wang Weidong said.

Now it may be cheaper to find a designer from a large northern country, a country that has rarely had new buildings in recent years. “

In the car, the young man said to Vice President Liu anxiously: "Vice President, we haven't done a good job in this matter, it looks like they won't use us to continue designing." ”

Vice President Liu said: "I am also responsible for this matter, when I gave you the task, I forgot that they were the bosses of private enterprises, and they naturally deducted and searched for their own money!" But it doesn't matter, we have a lot of design business now, and it's not bad for them! It is more enjoyable to cooperate with state-owned enterprises and local governments! ”

"Vertong, I have now entered the government work, I will do the things you entrusted me with immediately, find a few people from the Moscow Institute of Architecture to go to China, it is about to be winter vacation, they have time."

When Wang Weidong called Goncharova, Goncharova said.

"Didn't you just work in the government?" Wang Weidong asked.

"I mean into the government agencies that are higher within the country." Goncharova replied.

"Congratulations, Miss Goncharova, you're on the top again." Wang Weidong said.
