073 The tallest building in the world
Because the lease in Weifang Seven Village, near Lujiazui, expired, Ankang decided to live in another place. Weifang has been in this community for some years, and various management has been unable to keep up. Ankang looked for half a month, and took a fancy to a new community that was built a few years ago, just on the edge of Longyang Road Station of Metro Line 2, called Wanbang Urban Garden.
The reason why this community was chosen, in addition to the convenience of taking Line 2 to Lujiazui, there is another reason, which is the starting point of the Shanghai maglev train to Pudong Airport. Shanghai Maglev claims to be the world's first commercial maglev train. It is said that from here, you can take less than ten minutes to Pudong Airport by maglev.
When this maglev train line under construction is opened, it will be much more convenient to travel on business in the future. After getting off the plane, you can get to the door of your home in ten minutes by taking a maglev, and you don't even need to change cars.
The complex is new and so are the rooms. And the layout of this room is also what Ankang likes. The living room is a floor-to-ceiling window, which is similar to Zhou Mingfeng's one in Yanlord Riverside, of course, the area is only one-tenth, and the price is only one-tenth.
The bedroom has a bay window. It must be very pleasant to set up a small table on the bay window, read a book, drink tea, and drink tea.
Although this one-bedroom house of only 50 square meters is much smaller than the one he lives in Weifang Seven Village, the overall living environment has been improved by several grades. This makes Ankang feel very comfortable.
Originally, Ankang planned to solve the matter of moving by himself, but Zhu Xue heard that he was going to move, so he took the initiative to come to the house to help him clean up.
Zhu Xue helped Ankang clean up for an hour and then went to the living room and said to Ankang: "Uncle, your things don't seem to be much, and it's quite difficult to clean up." ”
A friend of Zhu Xue heard that An Kang was only two years older than Zhu Xue, but he didn't believe it at all, saying that he looked seven or eight years older than Zhu Xue. Zhu Xue joked to An Kang, I will call you uncle when you are so old than me.
Now that Ankang heard Zhu Xue call him so to his face, he only felt funny, so he said, "Niece, my things are too miscellaneous, right?" ”
An Kang followed Zhu Xue into the bedroom and was stunned.
It turned out that his bed was neatly filled with the clothes that Zhu Xue had folded for him. Every button of those shirts, including cufflinks, was buttoned up and folded like samples in clothing counters in shopping malls.
"You're not the same architect, even the clothes are so artistically folded. And you're so meticulous that I don't even dare touch these clothes, for fear of messing up the look. ”
"Hahaha. It's because I'm doing architectural design, so I have to take care of everything. How can you do it without being meticulous? That's going to make a tofu scum project. ”
An Kang smiled and continued to cast a praise spell on Zhu Xue.
Such small details gave Ankang a new understanding of Zhu Xue. From the day he met Zhu Xue, he got along with each other in amusement. Zhu Xue is a very assertive girl who showed her mature side at a very young age. Whenever she needs to communicate with adults, she takes the lead. It is this extroverted personality that makes people ignore her beautiful inner qualities.
In fact, Zhu Xue's meticulousness has nothing to do with whether she is an architectural designer or not, it is completely due to her personality. This meticulousness with which she folds clothes is a serious attitude towards life.
Don't be reluctant, don't live unrelentingly.
Ankang leaned against the door frame and admired Zhu Xue at work.
"Do you do it?" Zhu Xue inadvertently looked up and saw Ankang looking at herself, so she asked.
"Learn how my niece works."
"Uncle, you can't learn this. It's all been practiced since childhood. When you were still playing in the mud, I started helping the family with the housework. ”
This is unbelievable. He thought that Zhu Xue was like his sister Lin Mushuang, in addition to studying and having fun, she was just stretching out her hands to eat and open her mouth. After all, everyone has only one child, and all the children in the city are spoiled like princesses.
Of course, Ankang, a child born in the countryside and raised in the countryside, cannot have such treatment. Even if you play with mud, it's after you've done the farm work and housework.
For no reason, Ankang had a sense of pity for Zhu Xue.
Zhu Xue didn't seem to feel like this, she folded the last piece of clothing taken out of the closet, put it neatly on the bed and said, "Okay, the bedroom is all cleaned up." What's next? ”
Ankang said: "There will be nothing to do next. Packing is good to go. Sit down and drink some water. ”
Zhu Xue thumped her waist and walked to the living room to sit on the sofa and said, "The old waist is about to break." ”
"Let you rest, you won't rest." An Kang handed a glass of Coca-Cola to Zhu Xue.
"I like to do things all at once." Zhu Xue took a sip and said, "By the way, I'm going to come to Lujiazui next month." ”
"There's a project over here?"
"Hmm. It is a landmark. Construction started a few years ago, but then it was stopped due to investment problems, and now it is ready to redesign. ”
"Redesign after construction?" Although Ankang does not understand architecture and design, he has been with Zhu Xue and Lin Mushuang for a long time and knows the production process of some construction projects.
"Yes. Originally, this building was going to be the tallest building in the world. After several years of work stoppage, there are two buildings under construction in Taiwan and Hong Kong that exceed the height of this one, so we want to design the building to be taller. ”
"How can this be?"
Ankon understands that architectural designs are subject to change for various reasons, but he cannot understand the practice of changing the height of the design because it cannot be the tallest building in the world. However, since it is to be built as a landmark, the shape and the like are different opinions, and may not be unanimously recognized by people, only the height is irreplaceable and difficult to question.
Otherwise, why do people only know Mount Everest, but not the Chogori Peak and the Shisha Bangma Peak, which are known as K2?
"Uh-huh. There are a lot of things like this in our industry. Since it's a landmark, there must be something different. Height is one thing, styling is another. When you see this building, you can think of Lujiazui, and when you think of Lujiazui, you can think of Pudong and Shanghai. Puxi in Shanghai represents culture and heritage, and Pudong represents the future. Then the building built on Lujiazui, the pearl of Pudong, cannot be designed in the antique style of the Beijing Imperial Palace and Suzhou Garden, nor can it be designed in the style of the Greek Parthenon and Roman Gothic like the Bund in Shanghai. ”
"What will this Lujiazui look like in the future?" An Kang asked.
"Not later. Now Lujiazui is very good-looking. Have you ever seen a photo of New York seen from the sea? ”
"Well, there's a lot of tall buildings behind the Statue of Liberty."
"That's how you feel when you look at Lujiazui from Hongkou District." Zhu Xue said.
"Isn't it supposed to look this way from the Bund?"
"The angle is different, the feeling is completely different. From the Bund, Lujiazui is flat, and from Hongkou, Lujiazui is three-dimensional and more layered. You can go back to the riverside in Hongkou and take a look. ”
Ankang smiled: "I didn't expect to pay so much attention. ”
"Hmm. Of course, I didn't study this undergraduate for nothing. ”
"Look up for a long time, look up for a long time." An Kang quipped, "After you came to Lujiazui, did you still live on the construction site?" ”
"I've been living on the site for a long time. used to be a little hairy head who had just graduated, and he stuffed us casually, no father, no mother, no one loved him. Nowadays, companies usually rent houses near the construction site. If I do this for a few more years, I won't have to be on site. ”
"You're going to become an internationally renowned designer Luo?" Ankang quipped.
"Morning!"
