[Infrastructure] Rose kissed Barcelona

"Are you crazy, Antonio!" Joey was dumbfounded.

She thought she knew enough about the brain circuit of the person in front of her, until it refreshed her cognition again.

Just as Mrs. Bennet's nerves are Mr. Bennet's old friends, Joy really feels that Antonio's brain circuits are about to become her old friends.

Just now, Antonio told her in a straightforward and calm tone that he agreed to the exchange terms of Abbas and his son-the Fernandez House project he designed will be signed and registered as the work of Boaba, and will be selected as a gift for Catalan youths. Architectural Design Grand Prix.

In return, the Abbas and his sons will pay him double the bonus money—that is, 100 million pesetas.

In today's Barcelona, ​​100 million pesetas can buy a pretty decent single-family house.

"Uh..." There were so many things, she didn't know where to start, "What do you think? Why did you agree to give up the right to sign?"

That's your first solo work!It will become a famous work of world cultural heritage in the future!

Antonio took it for granted: "100 million pesetas, don't want it for nothing."

"Are you short of money?" Joey couldn't believe it.

I, the future super rich woman, am by your side!

The person in front of him shrugged awkwardly: "Although there is not much shortage, it is 100 million pesetas after all."

He thought for a while, and happily added: "It can be used as the design fee for this house—it's pretty generous, isn't it?"

Joey was literally choked.Well, she knew that she shouldn't delay other people's design fees.

As expected, the mean Party A will be punished.

Calm down, the taboo of quarreling is being led away by the other party.Stick to your own rhythm and logical framework.

"You can't be so short-sighted." She said persuasively, "You have to think like this. The first work is a stepping stone, and this house will definitely win the big prize, right?"

"That's true." Antonio nodded without humility.

"Then you'll be famous, and what follows is a steady stream of new orders and design fees?"

Antonio was lost in thought.

Joey was overjoyed, the master is about to realize it!

Then, Antonio frowned slightly and said, "Too many design orders is annoying. I don't want to accept a building I don't like, and I don't want to be so busy that I lose myself."

Joey was speechless.

It was the first time she had seen laziness so fresh and refined.

It was necessary for her to point out the introverted nature of society to someone.

"Antonio, you have to be aware of the cruelty of reality. You give up the right to authorship, and Boaba will definitely become famous with this work, then he will take away the opportunity that originally belonged to you—do you know that the Chinese have There is a proverb, 'Learning is like sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will fall back', and this is also true in the design market!"

"You are really cultured." Antonio raised his eyebrows, "but this metaphor is untenable. There are so many houses to be built or remodeled in Barcelona alone, and there are many opportunities; besides, I don't think he can take away my opportunities. .”

Here we go again, confident kid.

"——unless he pays double the price to buy out every work I design in the future." A teasing smile appeared in Antonio's eyes, "This seems to be a good deal."

He patted Joey's head reassuringly: "This house is not perfect, and I will have better designs in the future. It's just a house, let it go."

It's just a house!Joey covered the little flowerpot hat on his head angrily.

She also wanted to say, it's only 100 million pesetas!

But she couldn't say it.That's a lot of money indeed.

take a deep breath.There is no way but to resort to the last trump card.

"You just gave away the right to sign the house design. Have you ever thought about the wishes of me, the homeowner? I don't want to!" She said aggressively.

Antonio blinked, obviously not thinking about this level yet.

Afterwards, he waved his hands resignedly: "Then there's nothing you can do. After all, they found out what I did to the roof pillars of the Earl's House. If I don't accept it, you'll have to find another architect."

"The Earl's House? What does it have to do with the pillars on it?" Joey's ominous premonition intensified again.

Damn it, she seemed to have seen her old friend was about to jump out again, shouting "Surprise".

Sure enough, Antonio put on an expression of "it's already like this anyway", "That's right. That roof doesn't need additional support—didn't you also prove it?"

"So?" Joey seemed to have guessed the follow-up development.

Oh, God.If she could turn back time...

Antonio curled his lips proudly: "So I built a few decorative fake columns to fool the city hall, but they didn't actually touch the roof."

He leaned back on the back of the chair, flicked the fringe of the lampshade on the incandescent lamp comfortably with his fingers, and made a crackling sound: "By the way, I also left a message for the city hall on the top of the pillar."

alright.Joey didn't need to ask any more, and knew what he probably left.

After all, similar words had already been engraved on the corner of the outside of her house.

"...Didn't you think that this would definitely be discovered?" Her brain was overheated and shut down, and now she only relied on logical instinct to support the conversation.

"Of course I have to be discovered, otherwise what am I going to do all this trouble for?" Antonio looked at her like a fool, "...Of course, the time of discovery was a little earlier than I expected."

Before Joey spoke again, he cut off the conversation very quickly: "Well, anyway, this is the situation now. If I don't accept it, I will directly revoke my qualifications as an architect in Barcelona-this time it cannot be revoked. "

Joey: "..."

The raw rice was cooked, and she couldn't help breaking the pot: "Antonio, I remember the last time you confronted the city hall, didn't you say that you don't care about the qualifications of architects in Barcelona, ​​and you can be an architect anywhere? You said at that time The one is very chic, why are you eating everything you said now?"

Antonio's hand rested on the folder and was stiff, and unexpectedly he was speechless for a moment.

He then rubbed his messy hair a little irritably, and then waved his hands: "Anyway, I signed the agreement, and it's useless to go back. Don't worry about it. It's good, after all, it's 100 million pesetas."

Joy: ...She never wants to hear about a million pesetas again.

At this moment, little Mary in a light blue dress passed by with a book in her arms.Antonio asked casually: "What do you think, Mary?"

"Why do you bring children into the topic..."

"I agree."

Unexpectedly, the little girl who has never been involved in gossip took up the conversation very naturally.

Joey looked over in astonishment.

"After all, it's 100 million pesetas." The little girl smiled.

Joey: "..."

"Since the design of Mr. Gaudi's house is finished, it's all in the past tense. Anyway, he will definitely design a more amazing house in the future, won't he?" Mary said it as a matter of course, as if what the guy gave up was just a random build A building block.

The architect who got a strong teammate laughed: "That's right, it's just a work. I'm still here, and there will be plenty of works in the future. If you are not happy, I will design another house for you."

Whoops, another house?

Sorry, Joy is shamefully flattered happy.It's like seeing lambs take the initiative to come up and ask for wool.

Well, it seems to be acceptable...

Under the double critical attack of one big and one small, Joey finally gave up his attempt to recover the design signature of the Fernandez House.

After calming down and thinking about it, this is the lesser of two evils.

If they do not accept the request of the Abbas and his sons, and they expose the matter of the roof pillars of the Earl's House, Antonio's qualifications as an architect will be permanently revoked.

This also means that he is not qualified to be the architect of her house—the Fernandez House must be transferred to a qualified architect, otherwise it will be an illegal construction, and I am afraid it will be stopped immediately.

Other architects come to revise the design of the house halfway?She refuses!

It was a picture she worked so hard to draw herself.

... But she doesn't want an unfinished building either.Help.

On the contrary, if he accepts it, Antonio's qualifications as an architect will be preserved, and he will earn a net profit of 100 million pesetas.

In such a comparison, it is quite cost-effective.

Joey once again realized a sad truth-man is indeed an animal with no bottom line.

She sighed and comforted herself: Forget it, if the green hills remain, I am not afraid of running out of firewood.Just keep an eye on some unsettling architect in the future.

At the same time, she also realized another thing - if Antonio was allowed to personally supervise every detail like building her house, he would not be able to leave many works in his entire life.

After all, architecture is a big guy, and it usually takes a few years to mobilize a lot of teachers.What's more, here is the nineteenth-century Spain that does not pursue speed.

In Europe in the [-]th century, people were still accustomed to an architect as a team, responsible for almost all the affairs of a whole building.

One person checked the information, designed, calculated the structure, reported the budget, made plaster molds and knocked on sculptures, supervised the work every day, and even moved bricks by himself.

How can human life be wasted with stones!She also pointed out that relying on her own spurs, the master can produce a few more works and contribute to mankind.

So Joey had a new idea.

The concept of division of labor in modern architectural design teams should be introduced.

Designers should do what designers should do, and for specific construction, teams of structural, plumbing and electrical engineers should be arranged separately.

Architects are responsible for artistic design.

The structural engineer is in charge of angrily cursing that the architect doesn't know anything about doodles, and the things designed can't be realized on the earth with normal gravity.

Ahem... no, they are responsible for turning the architect's designs into a viable reality on Earth.

Although this is bound to introduce a bad relationship between architects and structural engineers who don't like each other early, there is no way, this is a structural contradiction, and it will appear sooner or later.

This is called the inevitability of history.

The first experiment of team management innovation, Joey intends to apply it to the rose milk tea shop on La Rambla.

The building originally rented by this now famous store is old, and a piece of wall slag collapsed not long ago, scaring the crowd queuing next to it.

Although the city hall said that this is just a normal phenomenon and does not affect the use, Joey always feels that the results of the building quality inspection report in the [-]th century may not be credible, not to mention that the design of this store does not match the reputation of the brand now, it is time to change it Brand new look again.

Therefore, this has become the second building that Antonio will design for her.

In the following period of time, Joy continued to be busy in the cause of popularizing electric poles and transmission systems, while her house became famous in another circle.

The waiting time is always anxious.

Finally, when the violets in the noble manor bloomed against the spring breeze, it was time for the completion of the House of Fernandez, a strange building that had already attracted many eyes.

A few days later, the Catalan Youth Architectural Design Competition, which had been open for nearly a year, finally closed for registration.

The "Barcelona Daily" reported it enthusiastically.

"A total of 30 works designed by young architects under the age of 67 participated in this competition - the rising stars of the entire Catalan architecture world have submitted their most proud works!"

"Because the judging and the submission of works have been carried out simultaneously during the registration period, the results of the competition will be announced in a week. According to the news that our reporter learned from the competition organizing committee, this year's works are brilliant and the competition is extremely fierce!"

"However, according to insiders, other rankings may still usher in close battles, but there is no suspense for the champion of this competition."

"Ladies and gentlemen, we have reason to believe that this city is witnessing the rise of an epoch-making star."

The author has something to say: The allusion to "Mrs. Bennet's nerves" comes from Pride and Prejudice:

"My good sir, you are trying to irritate me, to please yourself. Can't you be considerate of my frail nerves?"

"You have really misunderstood me, my dear lady. I have great respect for your nerves, which have been my old friend for many years. I have heard you refer to them with seriousness, at least for the last twenty years."

I really like Mr. Bennet's complaints hahahahaha.

Antonio: "It's just a house, let it go." (The author had a "letitgo~" in his mind and couldn't find a translation that fit the original meaning, woo~)

Thanks to Shuiyan, Bianhuhu, and Zhang Wushan for mine~Thanks to the little angels for their nutrient solution!

Cough, don't worry too much... as the old saying goes, it's not that you don't report, it's not time yet. (Then the author who tried to spoil the story was arrested by the God of Jinjiang
