The first thousand one hundred and thirty-five chapters marvel of the architect
There is no doubt about Mr. Pei's ability. He considers this building to be his proudest work, worthy of being recorded in the annals of architectural history.
Most of this building is still covered. People nearby know that there is a "China Town" here. The height of this city is average, and the highest point is only more than 30 meters. You must know that a large number of buildings have been erected in the capital in recent years.
From now on, each building is over 100 meters, and there are even buildings over 200 meters. Thirty meters is really not high.
Although it is not high, this building is really long enough to cover a station, nearly one kilometer. Apart from the Great Wall, it is probably difficult to find another building with such a long length, at least among commercial buildings it is too rare.
Buildings have been under construction over the years, and ordinary people can occasionally see two city gates with a corner exposed. At first, everyone was still amazed, but as time went by, it was just the same.
In fact, the most beautiful thing about this building is the polishing of details. Some places are in the Western minimalist style, which makes people feel relaxed and happy, while some places use the ancient Chinese mortise and tenon structure, which makes people feel...
There is a feeling of ingenuity, and the most amazing thing is that the two styles are integrated into one. This is Mr. Pei's ability to turn decay into magic.
Integrating different styles is Mr. Pei's forte. Seven years ago, Mr. Pei designed a pyramid entrance for the Louvre Museum in Paris. This design also gives people a breathtaking feeling, but now "Chinatown" is more
That pyramid gate is much more complicated.
Liu Lang met Mr. Bei in the capital. The old man was over seventy years old this year. He was similar to Xiong Huaizhi. Mr. Xiong's body was still strong, but his body could not bear it due to years of hard work. But Mr. Bei
He is in very good health and cannot tell that he is seventy years old at all. In fact, he
He originally wanted to "retreat from the world" a few years ago, but after seeing this project of the Huo Family, he couldn't help but come out again. After all, this building that combines Chinese and Western civilizations made him feel that it was challenging again. In his design
The design of "China Town" turned out to be a building that he was proud of.
This is the first time Liu Lang has met Mr. Bei, and of course, Mr. Bei has also seen Liu Lang for the first time.
Liu Lang studied architecture in his previous life, and he had read many of Pei's works during his college days. Naturally, he was an unattainable figure in Liu Lang's heart. However, Liu Lang was also a legend to Pei, and he himself had won several awards in the United States.
He has many honors, and even U.S. President Ronald Reagan awarded him the Presidential Award ten years ago, so he is also a celebrity in the United States, but there is a gap compared with Liu Lang. Not that
His achievements are not as good as Liu Lang's, but his fame is in the construction industry. Not many people know him outside this industry. But Liu Lang is different. The entertainment industry is the most well-known industry, and both men, women, and children are more or less familiar with it.
When you come into contact with this industry, you will be affected a little even if you don't like it. Liu Lang has long become a well-known figure in the United States through Shengtang Company, and his popularity is much greater than that of Boss Bei.
And Liu Lang himself is legendary. He is definitely the best representative of the Chinese people today. Besides, the original idea of this "China Town" came from Liu Lang. No matter which aspect, Mr. Pei is very fond of a
The little ones are very important to each other and have already regarded each other as equals to themselves.
"Ha, Liu Lang, your name is so thunderous! I have long wanted to pay a visit to you, a world-famous person, but because you were too busy, I never had the chance. Today you are finally here!"
Mr. Bei, who was in his seventies and full of energy, saw Liu Lang striding over.
"Mr. Bei is joking. You are a senior. I have always wanted to visit you. It is my honor to meet Mr. Bei today!"
Liu Lang was telling the truth. In his previous life, he was a god-like being in the architectural design industry. Who do you think he was?
Of course, this life is no better than his previous life. Liu Lang is destined to be brilliant in this life, which cannot be compared with others.
The old man and the young man started chatting when they met. Mr. Bei felt that Liu Lang had some research on architecture, but it was definitely not to a professional level, maybe he just had an understanding. His design was purely a whim, but Liu Lang was very interested in him.
His works are treasured in every household.
"Bei Lao, the Xiangshan Hotel you designed is really an outstanding work of Eastern and Western culture, especially the "Meandering Water Sink" Liuhua Pond. There is a small bridge in the center connected to the platform. It is completely imitated by Wang Xizhi's "Orchid Pavilion Preface"
The meaning of "Meandering Water Drinking Cup" gives people a feeling of traveling through history."
Liu Lang immediately mentioned the other party's favorite work, and the Qu Shui Shang Shang is also the highlight of the Xiangshan Hotel, which can be said to be "hit the mark".
The Xiangshan Hotel was designed by the state when the country invited Mr. Bei to design it when the reform and opening up had just begun.
Based on his consistent thinking, "the more national, the more global", he painstakingly visited Beijing, Nanjing, Yangzhou, Suzhou, Chengde and other places, looking for inspiration, collecting materials, and finally adopted a series of irregular architectural styles.
The layout of the courtyard integrates the Xiangshan Hotel with the surrounding water, mountains and towering ancient trees, making it a building with a strong Chinese style. The Xiangshan Hotel is not large in scale, but it embodies the essence of Chinese national architectural art.
Of course, his design was perfect, but not many people in the country knew that Liu Lang blurted it out, which surprised them.
"And the pyramid entrance you designed for the Louvre in Paris was criticized by many people at the beginning. However, after it was completed, it made this building that clearly seemed to be a manifestation of ancient culture burst out with a sense of future modernity. Only one who can do this
You are a master!"
Liu Lang "bragged" again.
Mr. Bei was even more surprised. Is this little guy also an architectural genius? Otherwise, how could he make sense?
Yes, the entrance pyramid design of the Louvre in Paris was Pei Lao's most proud work. At first, no one could understand it, and even thought it was a bit nondescript in the world palace of the Louvre. However, after it was completed, it was discovered that this design
This historic museum is immaculate and modernist
The combination of style and style makes people feel that this is not only a historical museum, but also a modern building full of fashion. This kind of expressiveness is really amazing. It is definitely one of the top designs in the world. With this design, Mr. Pei has also been recognized by his peers.
They are respectfully known as the masters of modernist style.
Of course Liu Lang knows this. He has studied all the designs of Mr. Bei in his previous life, and clearly remembers the evaluations from all parties. Even some of the evaluations may not even have been thought of by Mr. Bei himself when designing, just like later
People evaluate Lu Xun’s articles the same way.
Liu Lang "suppressed" Mr. Pei as soon as he opened his mouth. Many of Liu Lang's views on architecture made Mr. Pei nod frequently.
"Liu Lang, it's a pity that you went to study architecture... If you had received systematic study, I'm afraid you would be a world-renowned designer in the future. Others say I am a master of modernism, and you are a master of futurism.
