World-class infrastructure maniac

The National Institute of Design has been responsible for the country's large-scale infrastructure construction, has won numerous domestic awards and recognition, and has been giving lectures at top domestic colleges.

But it was the first time to receive an invitation letter from the Royal Institute of British Architects.

Founded in 1834, this association gathered countless outstanding architects during the peak period of British architecture, created architectural research results that were admired by the world, and eventually became one of the most authoritative associations in Europe and the world.

The RIBA is not responsible for teaching good architects, and there is no standard by which to judge it.

Because it is the judging standard of Western peak architectural art!

The office carefully checked the seal of the invitation letter, and even compared the contact address and telephone number published by the Royal Institute of British Architects with the contact information attached to the invitation letter.

confirmed its authenticity.

"Do you think this invitation letter is Yin Zhili..."

He didn't have to say it all, the people around him immediately showed clear approval.

The Wuqueshan Bridge designed by Lufeng has just set off a frenzy of anticipation for bridges in China.

All the media who pay attention to this bridge are detailing how difficult it was to get approval and the ingenious design of Panshan.

Everyone is amazed at Lufeng's whimsical ideas, so facing the sudden invitation letter, it is easy for them to think of Lufeng's teacher - Yin Zhili.

As a Chinese, Yin Zhili has become an honorary senior member of the Royal Institute of British Architects by virtue of his extraordinary architectural attainments.

He can occupy a place in the sacred place of Western cultural expression, which has always made architectural practitioners feel extremely proud.

Because the Royal Institute of British Architects is born with a unique aristocratic attitude, full of the arrogance of Western architectural art, and once criticized Chinese architecture.

And it is the old man over seventy years old who wears various architectural honors, and with his highly artistic architecture and unique creative expression, modern Chinese architecture has regained the favor of the world's architectural authorities.

He has gray temples, exuding the elegance and easy-going style of a Chinese literati.

No more awards and praises are needed, his name stands for the highest level of modern architecture.

Yin Zhili proudly talked about the greatness of ancient Chinese architecture at the exchange meeting more than once.

And he said bluntly: China's modern architectural level is rapidly making up for the absence of 100 years, and they will soon emerge in the architectural field and shock the world.

Such a person is undoubtedly lonely in the architectural world dominated by the West.

If it weren't for the buildings he designed, which are full of the beauty and heritage of Chinese classics, and re-polish the glory that should belong to China, the expectations he said would only become a laughing stock.

Now that the Wuqueshan Bridge has been approved, the Royal Institute of British Architects, where Yin Zhili works, has sent an invitation letter. How can they not think too much about it.

The people in the office sighed and sighed, and quickly put away their thoughts of watching Li Feng.

Immediately reported this solemn invitation letter to the dean.

Comrade Li Zhengye, who had been excited about the Wuqueshan Bridge for several days, suddenly felt that the future was bright and sunny when he saw this invitation letter.

Countless buildings have sprung up in China, but there has been a lack of international recognition.

At this time, how could it not be exciting to be invited by the top European architectural association.

He made a decisive decision and said, "Hurry up and gather all the institutes! Let's have a meeting!"

It was the first time that many presidents and persons in charge of the National Academy of Design gathered together to study an invitation letter from the UK.

A copy of the letter was distributed in front of everyone, and everyone looked happy.

"The Royal Institute of British Architects... this must be an invitation from Mr. Yin, right?"

"No matter who sends the invitation, we must participate! Our Chinese architecture is so powerful, how can we miss this kind of exchange!"

"What are the specific requirements of the association? Do you want Lifeng to talk about the new design of the Wuqueshan Bridge, or—"

They are excited as much as hesitant.

Lufeng is Yin Zhili's student, and it is not impossible for the teacher to use his own relationship to give the student a face for the bridge he just designed.

However, when Li Zhengye heard the words, he said with a smile: "The office has already contacted the other party, saying that they hope that we can select the most representative buildings, bridges, and municipal road planning in China, and then have a face-to-face meeting with outstanding international architects. This is the meaning of the national council members of the Royal Institute of British Architects. Although Mr. Yin Zhili proposed, but...without our country's famous and outstanding buildings, they would not send such a solemn invitation letter."

Li Yuan's words completely dispelled the doubts present.

The atmosphere of the meeting suddenly became lively. The person in charge of each institute could name the most representative modern buildings in China, and was fully prepared to participate in international exchanges.

go with!

We must also make serious preparations and select the achievements that best represent the country's modern architecture!

The Architecture Branch selects landmark buildings that focus the eyes of the world.

The municipal planning and congestion removal intelligent solutions involved in the road branch.

The Bridge Branch carefully selected the excellent bridges designed by them, and locked the Qushuiwan Bridge that shocked the world two years ago and the Wuqueshan Bridge that was about to start construction.

The trip to go abroad was prepared in the warm and low-key atmosphere of the State Council.

At the Monday regular meeting of the Bridge Branch, Wu Yingqi finally announced to all the staff——

"Let's welcome the newly recruited Comrade Lu Feng and give an induction speech."

There was thunderous applause in the meeting room, and Li Feng stood up from his seat and walked to the podium with a somewhat... embarrassed expression.

He can stand on the podium, explain his design freely, and express his views on the bridge without hindrance.

But he is not yet used to speaking his insignificant aspirations in front of the vast number of Chinese bridge builders.

When he learned that he was going to prepare a speech, Lu Feng seriously applied to Wu Yingqi, "Can I not give a speech?"

"How can that be done!" Courtyard Wu said with a straight face, "It's a tradition in our college. Newcomers stand on the podium, talk about their future plans, and talk about their own personality, so that everyone can get closer."

As a result, Lufeng got an outline for "closing the distance", and wrote a speech with a length of [-] words according to Wu Yuan's request.

In Wuyuan's kind and friendly comments, revisions, and ardent expectations.

When Li Feng stepped onto the podium, the speech in his hand became...

Three thousand six hundred words.

Standing on the podium, Li Feng faced the designers who were almost familiar with him, lowered his eyes and said:

"Hi everyone, I'm Li Feng, a new bridge designer. Standing here today, I finally realized my long-cherished expectations. I was finally able to come to the Bridge Branch of the National Academy of Design and become a member of the Chinese bridge people."

The conference room was extremely quiet, and he could still feel the focused eyes of everyone staring at the speech.

Li Feng talked about his experience when he was studying in the UK.

It tells the process of returning to China and studying the cross-river bridge in Quanxin Architectural Design Company.

He came here to contribute to the construction of the bridge that the motherland needs most with the bridge people who have the same goal.

Also because——

"I like...every bridge on the land of China."

China is the hometown of bridges, and there are bridges on both sides of the mountains and rivers.

Only when talking about his love for bridges did Lifeng's voice fade away from its initial jerky and reserved voice.

The deep valley bridge stands majestically above the gravel valley.

The Ten Lines Mountain Bridge stands in the nature reserve and blends with the scenery.

The Yuchuan Super Bridge runs through the north and south banks and maintains the rapid passage of high-speed rail.

and also……

"The Qushuiwan Bridge made me want to go back to China."

When Lufeng mentioned the name of Qushuiwan Bridge, his voice became soft and nostalgic.

He believes that the staff of the bridge branch present here will understand his feelings and understand why he returned to China for this unparalleled bridge in the world.

Because it broke through the international understanding of Chinese bridges, and created a new miracle of Chinese bridges.

Everyone in the bridge branch is proud to have participated in the design of this steel arch bridge across the river standing in Qushui Bay.

Now, Lifeng has finally officially become a member of such a proud group.

And use your own hands to create new pride for the collective.

Wait until the speech says the final "Thank you all."

The applause in the conference room was louder than before, and every face of them showed sincere excitement and excitement.

Li Feng stood there, watching them from a distance, and instantly understood the meaning of Wu Yingqi's insistence on him giving a speech.

Only by speaking out what is in his heart truthfully, can he find the same resonance here.

After the regular meeting, Lifeng has his own formal office.

The computers and materials that accompanied him in the meeting room for a long time were piled up in a brand new office.

Before he could reorganize the design drawings of the Wuqueshan Bridge, Wu Yingqi came over.

Wu Yingqi said: "Don't be busy, the courtyard will give you a holiday, go and busy yourself with your own affairs."

"Huh?" Lu Feng had just experienced a speech of determination, and he wished to contribute to the country immediately and work overtime until dawn.

When he suddenly heard the vacation request, his first reaction was to refuse.

He said: "I don't have to take a vacation, and I don't have any personal affairs to be busy with."

The answer was straightforward and cold, but it made Wu Yingqi laugh out loud.

"Who says you're not busy with personal affairs?" Wu Yingqi said, "The institute will soon accept the invitation of the Royal Institute of British Architects to go to London for more than half a month of exchanges. Among the people traveling in the Bridge Institute, your name is on it. Your vacation is to let you go back and prepare the materials needed for the visa."

"You can also contact your friends in the UK in advance, and meet them between meetings and exchanges."

After listening to it, Lu Feng was stunned, not at all the expression Wu Yingqi imagined.

He also thought that when Li Feng heard the invitation, he would definitely feel a kind of excitement and pride of going back to school. He excitedly accepted the holiday, and went home happy to prepare to go to England.

Who knew, there was only astonishment on Li Feng's face.

Wu Yingqi looked at Lu Feng in confusion, frowned, and asked, "Why? You don't want to go."

With mixed flavors, Li Feng replied, "No. I want to go, but..."

He prefers to stay at home and study his favorite bridges.

However, Lufeng hooked the corners of his lips helplessly, and said: "It's just the design drawing and modeling of the Wuqueshan Bridge project, and some changes can be made. It doesn't take much time to prepare the documents for the visa, so I don't need to rest."

"I knew you would say that, so I came here in person!"

Wu Yingqi kept a straight face, as if Li Feng had made some heinous arrangement.

He said, "When the Wuqueshan Bridge project starts next year, it will be impossible for you to rest. This time I invite you to participate in the architectural exchange meeting. On the one hand, I hope that young people can participate in international conferences to gain experience. On the other hand, it is because of you. In the past six months, I have basically never rested, and the guards know that you get off work at two o'clock and go to work at six o'clock."

"So, giving you a vacation is not a choice, but an order from the organization!"

Wu Yingqi's words were serious.

Li Feng got used to his toughness with softness, and it was the first time he personally felt the legendary "dean's coldness".

The words of justification rolled in his throat, and he wanted to say but dared not.

He didn't get off work at two o'clock every day and go to work at six o'clock...

Which doorman brother is exaggerating? !

"Did you hear that?" Seeing his silence, Wu Yingqi asked in a deep and solemn voice.

Li Feng was startled, and quickly nodded, "I heard it."

So, that afternoon, the whole court knew that the lawyers who liked to work overtime and made the court their home, finally stepped on the off-duty bell and left the branch court on time.

The chat group instantly skyrocketed to 99+ chat records. A group of designers who are keen to fish without a project expressed their gratitude: Thank God, the overtime madman is off work.

"To be reasonable, I have observed the lawyer carefully for a long time, and he has never left work before eight o'clock."

"Before the feasibility study report of the Wuqueshan Bridge was handed over to the superior, we made a special gamble to see if Li Feng would leave work on time because the project came to an end... Fuck, I put all my money on time, and lost everything! "

"Hahahaha, don't you deserve it? Like when I saw lawyers working overtime, I didn't dare to slip away early. Every time I heard the bell ringing for the end of get off work, I thought: What's going on? I still have so much work to do." What? Why are you off work?"

Li Feng was walking on the way to get off work, and felt the crowded rush after get off work for a long time.

As soon as he took out his mobile phone to check the news, he found that in the bridge branch group he just joined, everyone was talking about him.

Looking at the text description, it seems that Li Feng has seen a devil, pushing back the hairlines of social animals with his own power.

When they were hotly discussing that Lifeng should need a warm family, Lifeng finally couldn't take it anymore and came out to refresh his sense of existence.

"?"

A question mark landed on the screen, instantly interrupting the smooth conversation.

The colleagues who were still laughing and playing just now burst into laughter. Even if the surroundings were full of noisy sounds during the rush hour, they couldn't cover up the volume of the text.

However, when Lifeng officially joined the job, he was a family member of the Bridge Branch.

This group of sunny families did not feel embarrassed at all.

He continued to say happily: "Oh, I forgot that you have joined the group today hehehe!"

"Remember to commute to and from get off work on time from now on! Lawyer!"

Seeing their enthusiastic exhortations, Li Feng remained silent.

In the end, he laughed helplessly and put away his phone without replying.

It turned out that working overtime was not just his business. It was the first time I heard the voices of my colleagues, and I suddenly felt——

No wonder Courtyard Wu forced him to go back to rest. The pace of work he was used to brought so much pressure to his colleagues.

Seems a little sinful.

After getting the long-lost rest, he went back to the apartment after dinner.

Unexpectedly, I couldn't adapt to such a quiet environment and an empty room for a while.

It was rare that he didn't have to think about the bridge, so he turned on the computer, ready to pick up the "Shanshui Xiaoyao" that was still eating ashes in the computer, and make a new part, and show it to the senior brother.

Lu Feng's mind was full of Yin Yiqiao, but when he opened the long-lost video site, he found a person he had forgotten.

Zotel's news filled the text box.

It has been almost seven months since he handed over to Zotel the modeling of the Civic Center of "Shanshui Xiaoyao".

This well-known musician is still waiting for his response at the rate of one greeting per day.

Zottel: "God! Come and listen to my new music for the Civic Center, you'll love it! [link]"

Zottel: "Okay, if you don't reply for three days, I'll treat you as a happy social animal 24 hours a day."

Zottel: "Two weeks...are you busy, or did you forget your account number?"

Zottel: "On X, X, the weather was fine. Today, I am returning home, and I am still busy with my daily affairs, busy with business, and have no intention of surfing the Internet."

Greetings turned into diary entries.

Yesterday's update was——

"It rained heavily in Australia today, and I suddenly had a new inspiration. I don't know if it can match your landscape city in the rain."

Li Feng felt extremely guilty and shocked.

Such a persevering person is still thinking about his "Shanshui Xiaoyao".

He, the creator, was suddenly set off as cold-hearted.

Li Feng hurriedly typed and apologized sincerely.

"Sorry, I've been really busy in the past six months, so I didn't mean not to go online on purpose."

From his preparation to sign up for the recruitment of the National Academy of Design, to perfecting his portfolio, to going to practice in the academy.

Lu Feng devotes himself to the bridge project and is busy day and night working on the Wuqueshan Bridge.

Apart from occasionally chatting with Yin Yiqiao about Shanshui and the city to relax his mind, he never thought of an international friend with a Chinese level [-] who made the soundtrack for "Shanshui Xiaoyao" and loved the design of this concept.

Lu Feng carefully read all of Zotel's emotions, and found that this musician has stepped into the embrace of nature through "Shanshui Xiaoyao".

He walked into the deep mountains and said: This place has mountains and water, and it feels very suitable for building a building with mountains and rivers.

He walked to the beach and said: I don't know your concept of landscape, does it include the ocean?

He walked to the broad grassland and said: I really can't imagine what kind of buildings can be built on such a flat grassland.However, I have a new inspiration.

In the chat history, Li Feng saw the natural scenery of Australia with him.

Dedicated musicians seem to especially like to find inspiration in these natural places.

Lufeng opened Zotel's video homepage and found that his works after "Shanshui Xiaoyao" all had beautiful landscape photos, which showed the change of his artistic conception.

Lifeng found the second video of "Shanshui Xiaoyao" half a year ago. While listening to Zotel's soothing music creation, he wrote again in the chat box:

"Your music makes people feel relaxed. If you have something to contact, you can add me on WeChat."

After he finished sending the message, the phone vibrated not long after.

Friend Request: Zottel.

Li Feng was amazed at Zotel's swiftness.

After he passed through his friends, Zotel's news jumped out.

Zottel: "QAQ So, does God like my new soundtrack?"

His little expression seemed to erase half a year in one stroke.

Li Feng replied with a smile: "I'm listening."

The civic center located by the water reappeared on the computer screen of Lufeng, but it brought a sound close to nature.

As soon as the progress bar moved, he clearly heard the fluttering of bird feathers flapping its wings.

Then, the grand and tall gate of the Civic Center came into view.

He switched with the familiar lens, and heard the rustling of leaves and the rustling of grass.

After the chirping of insects and birds, not only the sound of the waterfall hitting the water, but also the noise of people's voices came to the ears.

The pleasant and leisurely sound of the piano came faintly.

Not a piano, not a violin, let alone any Western musical instrument.

It is the unique string sound that is produced only when the fingers pluck the slender strings.

Ritsu listened to the music in amazement, clearly aware of Zotel's change.

He remembered that Zotel made the soundtrack of "Shanshui Xiaoyao" for the first time. He used a passionate and high-pitched symphony to artificially create a sense of auditory shock.

Now, the sound in his ears is exactly like the roar produced by this landscape building.

Even the faint sound of the strings is like a hermit living in the mountains and rivers outside the picture, playing the piano with his legs crossed every day, playing the strings.

There is no deliberate choreography.

Just 1 minute, not long.

But he could feel that Zotel's understanding of "Shanshui Xiaoyao" is more accurate.

The natural sound becomes the main character, the human voice is loud and gradual, and the faint sound of the piano becomes the main line running through the entire video.

Even after half a year, it can't hide Lifeng's love for the soundtrack of the Civic Center this time.

It turned out that he didn't hate the soundtrack, he just didn't want the music to overwhelm the audience.

He replied to Zotel from the bottom of his heart: "It sounds good, thank you. It fits my definition of Shanshui Xiaoyao very much."

Zotter replied very quickly, "As long as you like it. I have no way to describe the inspiration your modeling brings to me. You don't need to say thank you. I should thank you."

The Internet has narrowed the distance between the two of them. Zotel's narration is refreshed on the interface, and Li Feng is filled with emotion.

It turned out that before discovering the video of "Shanshui Xiaoyao", Zotel had already fallen into the bottleneck that musicians often have.

His musical skills, orchestration ability, and he can't satisfy himself.

Even if the orchestra he cooperates with is excited and excited about his new creation, it can't erase the melancholy and emptiness in his heart.

Zottel: "Your "Shanshui Xiaoyao" seemed to have life, and brought me into another world. There is no reverberation, no noise, and the pure and simple sound made me find a new self."

The civic center of "Shanshui Xiaoyao" is not popular with fans.

Because they believe that this is not music, this is just a patchwork of natural sounds.

However, Zotter was very satisfied, and happily ran to nature, writing a new music melody.

Although it is a music world that is unfamiliar to Lifeng, he can feel everything Zotel said.

Just as he fell into the predicament of architectural design and couldn't break free, a bridge appeared, breaking the invisible shackles on him and making him more free.

what.

Li Feng couldn't help laughing, raised his hand and typed quickly.

"Congratulations!" Perhaps no one knows such happiness better than him, "I believe your music now must be more beautiful than before!"

The chat between Rifeng and Zotel crossed the boundary between music and architecture, and communicated freely and without hindrance.

They were able to talk about 99+ from different viewpoints on the same topic, even Lifeng himself felt incredible.

Because they are strangers to each other, he can speak freely without worrying about whether Zotel can understand, or whether Zotel has any other whimsical ideas.

The thoughts entrusted in "Shanshui Xiaoyao" have become another kind of soul comfort, sweeping away all the exhaustion of Lifeng.

They chatted late into the night.

Zotter said: "If China can build such a beautiful city, I must come to China."

Lu Feng smiled and said proudly: "Friend, you can write Chinese characters and speak Chinese, why don't you know—"

"Even without "Shanshui Xiaoyao", China is a place of breathtaking beauty."

Mountains and plains, ocean hills.

People live here forever.
