Rebirth: The Great Designer

Chapter 746 The Essence and Soul of Modern Chinese Architecture

Ningbo, with a rich cultural heritage and a long history and culture, is a typical Jiangnan water town and seaport city, and is the southern end of the Grand Canal in China.

It was two months ago that Su Leqing proposed marriage. After the proposal was successful, Su Leqing and Lin Mengyue started their long-prepared travel, and Lin Mengyue made a travel route early, and took the lead in going to The best place is the place where their class organized a tour—Pearl Spring.

Su Leqing and Lin Mengyue felt a lot about this place. It seems that this is the place where Su Leqing confessed to Lin Mengyue for the first time, and then came the Jiangxiang Village Scenic Spot in Changshu City. When they arrived here, Su Leqing naturally took Lin Mengyue with him. I visited Secretary Chang. After so many years, Secretary Chang has retired, but he still remembers Su Leqing clearly. That night, Secretary Chang led the villagers to hold a grand welcome party, and seeing Lin Meng It was rare for the old secretary to jokingly ask him if he still remembered Bi Qian, the accountant in the village.

Su Leqing directly pretended to be stupid and said that she didn't remember, but Lin Mengyue was very interested in Su Leqing's experience and pestered the old secretary to talk about it.

I learned from the old secretary that after he left, Bi Qian waited for two years, but did not see Su Leqing coming. In the end, due to family pressure, she chose to marry. Su Leqing could only express regret for this. Qian is a girl with the same kind of gentle personality as Lin Mengyue, but it's a pity that the two of them just met by chance and have no fate.

After leaving Jiangxiang Village, the two went to the capital again, visited the Forbidden City, climbed the Great Wall, and experienced the magnificence of the Great Wall...

Xi'an...

Chengdu...

Kaifeng...

hangzhou...

Suzhou...

In two months, the two of them can be said to have turned half of China around, and Su Leqing also experienced the characteristics of the buildings in each place. The north is open and closed, majestic and magnificent, and the south is beautiful, ingenious and picturesque.

In the past, Su Leqing always wanted to travel around to see the characteristics of the buildings in various places, and this time he finally got his wish.

And their last stop was Ningbo, and Su Leqing's destination was the Ningbo Museum, which was built for two years. Designed by Shu.

This Master Wang Shu is also considered a madman, because his mother is a librarian, so he started reading some books translated from foreign countries since he was a child, and even read all kinds of books when he was in college.

At that time, the Cultural Revolution had just passed, and there was a serious shortage of talents in colleges and universities. This caused the teacher's level to be inferior to Wang Shu's, and he himself said that what the teacher said was superficial, naive, conservative and old-fashioned when compared with what he read. He was able to preview three days in advance, and he was able to silence the teacher's questions in class. At that time, he was young and frivolous, and such words were always on his lips.

And he also paid the price for his youthful arrogance. In his dissertation, he directly put forward a three noes theory, saying that China has no modern architectural theory, no modern architects, and no modern architecture.

Although the thesis was unanimously approved by the tutor judges, it was beeped in the hands of the thesis review committee.

After all, those thesis review committees are all modern architects in China. As a result, your paper says that China has no modern architects, no modern architecture, and no modern architectural theory. Isn’t this a slap in the face for them?

So Master Wang Shu failed to obtain a master's degree in the end.

And this master Wang Shu is also arrogant. At that time, it was in 1988, the climax of the reform and opening of houses. Designers at home and abroad were gearing up to show their strengths, but he retreated bravely and chose to live in seclusion in Hangzhou, working with construction workers. Life, at that time, Chinese architects were only thinking about quickness and money, and nothing else at all, but Master Wang Shu was thinking about what kind of road to take. During the ten years of retirement, he had almost nothing. The architectural works that can be obtained, but it is such a person who won the first and only Pritzker Architecture Prize in China in 2012.

After ten years of sharpening a sword, you will show your sharpness once in a while!

Overnight, Wang Shu became the most famous architect at home and abroad.

For this master, Su Leqing still admires him very much, but it's a pity that he has never been able to meet him.

During these two months, he naturally did not do anything. After reading the base information given by Huawei, he has been brewing design plans in his mind, but although there are many plans, they lack the ultimate plan. The core idea is how to build Chinese modern architecture.

Before that, the modern buildings he designed could only be regarded as foreign modern buildings, but if he wanted to win the Pritzker Architecture Prize, he could only design modern buildings with his own national characteristics, that is, Chinese-style modern buildings. architecture.

This seems to be a very simple proposition. As long as the building is mixed with some Chinese elements, it can be called modern Chinese architecture, but this is only the most superficial and superficial. If others see this without Chinese elements The architect will immediately know that this is a modern Chinese-style building, which is the essence and soul of modern Chinese-style architecture.

And there is no doubt that the highest achievement in this aspect must be Master Wang Shu, so Su Leqing is going to come to visit the Ningbo Museum to see if he can learn or comprehend something from it.

Le Qing, why is the top of this museum slanted? Lin Mengyue asked as she walked under the museum.

Su Leqing looked up and down and said: The architectural form of Ningbo Museum is designed with mountains, water, and oceans. The first floor is a whole, but from the second floor, the building begins to split and tilt to form a mountain shape. In addition, the water area in the north of the venue , the whole building looks like a boat going ashore.”

This architectural pattern reflects Ningbo's geographical shape and the characteristics of a port city. The walls of the museum are decorated in two ways. The first way is to use millions of Ming and Qing bricks and tiles collected by the people to build tiles by hand. The wall embodies the characteristics of the south of the Yangtze River and the concept of conservation. Another way is to use bamboo strips to add concrete to show the texture of bamboo on the surface, reflecting the concept of environmental protection.”

And you didn't notice that when we walked under the museum, the two sides looked like the alleys of Jiangnan water town? The whole building doesn't have many Chinese elements in it, but it can make people feel a strong Chinese style. This kind of Youming The hand-built tile wall with clear bricks and tiles gives people a heavy sense of history, and the green bamboo next to it is the finishing touch. It really deserves to be a master, and it’s no wonder that it won the Pritzker Architecture Prize.” Su Leqing looked at it Said in admiration.

At the beginning, he failed to win the Pritzker Architecture Prize, and he was a little unconvinced in his heart, but he was really convinced after seeing this, and only such a master can win such an honor.

Come on, let's go into the museum. Su Leqing took Lin Mengyue's hand and walked in.

As soon as he entered the museum, Su Leqing felt that the atmosphere was not right, because there were too many people inside, and there were even many reporters. Su Leqing went over and saw the person walking in front.

Isn't this Master Wang Shu? Su Leqing was overjoyed.

Yes, this is the first time Master Wang Shu has returned to the Ningbo Museum after winning the Pritzker Architecture Prize. The reporter next to him replied while taking pictures.
