Chapter 147 Report
As the newly appointed dean of the Graduate School of Architecture at Kyoto University, Guo Yi did not have the confidence to bid this time.
All the preliminary preparation materials were in Ruan Xuezhen's hands, and they were all taken away after he left. Guo Yi reorganized the teachers and students to carry out the design. The time was tight and the task was heavy, and the preparation was not sufficient.
Fortunately, when the report was being made, other colleagues left the venue and waited in the next meeting room. Guo Yi was able to speak freely in front of nine leaders and experts.
Kyoto University has a profound history and a traditional understanding of architecture, and the design of its gymnasium is elegant and graceful.
Guo Yi's design theme is: Endeavor.
The flag-like facade and bright red entrance inspire people to work hard.
The head of the expert group was District Mayor Sun Xia. After a half-hour presentation, the experts nodded one after another. After asking a few questions about graphic design, Sun Xia announced the end of the presentation.
During the first bid evaluation, no one knew how to proceed, and no scoring criteria were established. The staff of the bidding office gave the experts several sheets of white paper, asked them to rate each one, and finally discussed and decided on the best solution.
Because this is the first design work and there is no comparison yet, most experts gave Kyoto University a score of around 80 points, in order to avoid being unable to give high scores when encountering particularly outstanding works in the future.
Only Liu Yuanyu gave it a score of 60 without hesitation, and snorted coldly: "How dare you bring out such an outdated design work? Kyoto University has really fallen into decline."
Miao Jing glanced at him and said, "You are a frog in a well! Kyoto University is a famous institution of higher learning in the country. It has trained countless outstanding talents for the country over the years. You are talking nonsense. You draw the conclusion that the university is declining just from the design of a building project. Can I infer that the Liu family is really declining?"
Liu Yuanyu was so angry that he slammed the table: "Miao Jing, you really want to argue with me, don't you?"
Miao Jing said calmly: "You were the one who started the fight with me."
Before Liu Yuanyu could continue to lose his temper, Sun Xia, as the team leader, tried to smooth things over: "You two are the youngest among the judges and experts. You are engaged in management work in the construction field and have a certain international perspective. I hope to hear your pertinent opinions and suggestions for this bid evaluation. It doesn't matter if we have different opinions. We can discuss them together. But I hope we can stick to the facts and not escalate to the level of personal attacks."
Miao Jing and Liu Yuanyu exchanged a fiery look and said nothing more.
——How dare you fight with me, little brat!
——If you dare to provoke me, I will fight back!
The second design unit was Kyoto City Third Architectural Design Institute. The gymnasium has a circular layout and a very eye-catching shape, but Sun Xia was the first to raise objections: the sports function was guaranteed, but the viewing function was insufficient.
Miao Jing and Liu Yuanyu were not interested and were waiting for Tao Nanfeng to come on stage.
Finally, the third design company came in. Tao Nanfeng walked into the venue and stood at the podium facing the conference table. After a brief opening speech, he began to talk about his design concept.
“Our design theme is: Fusion.”
Miao Jing's eyes were bright. For the first time, he was able to stare at Tao Nanfeng so openly, paying attention to her every move, every frown and smile. He didn't want to miss every word and every expression of Tao Nanfeng.
Liu Yuanyu suddenly clapped his hands as if he had gone crazy: "Good!"
Tao Nanfeng was interrupted and stopped to look at Liu Yuanyu quietly. A pair of bright eyes like water, with a cold breath, suddenly made Liu Yuanyu excited.
Miao Jing and Sun Xia shouted at the same time: "Quiet!"
After Liu Yuanyu went crazy for a while, he also felt that he was a bit unconventional, and raised his hand embarrassedly: "Sorry, sorry, Tao Nanfeng's speech was too wonderful, and I couldn't control my emotions for a moment. I shut up, I shut up."
Too exciting?
Tao Nanfeng only said ten words in total, was it so brilliant? You’re kidding!
The other six real experts all cast condemning glances at Liu Yuanyu and said, "Let the representative finish her speech at once before speaking again. Don't interrupt her in the middle."
Miao Jing gritted his teeth secretly. This guy is uneducated and unskilled. If it weren't for his father's reputation, how could he have gotten into the Construction Office? He thought this was a big show or a crosstalk performance, and he wanted to have a "good start"? Fuck you!
Sun Xia signaled Tao Nanfeng to continue, and Tao Nanfeng nodded and spoke slowly.
She has a dignified figure, outstanding appearance, and a deep and soft voice, like the autumn wind blowing through the wheat waves, like the sea breeze blowing the strings of a piano, telling stories slowly and leisurely, bringing everyone into a beautiful world.
Miao Jing was fascinated by what he heard, and the experts also listened very carefully.
“Why fusion?
First, the integration of the new and the old. Unlike new construction, renovation and expansion projects have certain limitations. They must consider both the use of the new site and the functionality of the original site.
Second, the needs of the people are integrated with the city government's planning. Ordinary people hope to have a green space for the elderly and children to play, an ice rink where young people can openly talk about their love hand in hand, and a playground where they can play ball with their children in their spare time; the municipal government wants a performance hall that leads the city's trends, a club and exhibition hall that can accommodate hundreds of companies, and a venue for large-scale competitions. All these functions must be taken into account.
Third, the integration of modernity and tradition. As the times change, people are eager for new things and new ideas. A modern gymnasium is more in line with Kyoto's status as the country's political and cultural center. However, we cannot lose Kyoto’s profound historical heritage and should pass it on. Development and inheritance are not contradictory, but complement each other. ”
After stating these three design concepts in one breath, Tao Nanfeng moved the display board in front of himself, moved his slender fingers slightly, and explained his design ideas in detail while looking at the drawings.
“Based on the theme of integration, we retained the original ice rink and court in the design and simply turned them into indoor activity venues through enclosure structures.
Experts, please look at the picture album. The new stadium is surrounded by red railings on all four sides, and spectators enter the stadium from four entrances in the east and west directions. The hall is equipped with liftable basketball and volleyball stands according to local conditions.
The design preserves the green space on the east side, places the performance hall above the green space by means of overhead means, and uses inclined glass walls to incorporate as much green as possible. The top is decorated with a suspended ceiling lamp, which complements the inlaid cylindrical aluminum lampshade. When the ceiling light is turned on, it looks like a starry sky. The lighting effect is suitable for large-scale concerts or cultural evenings. ”
As Tao Nanfeng spoke, pictures appeared before the experts.
The lighting effect rendered with the marker pen was excellent. When District Chief Sun Xia saw the starry ceiling, his eyes lit up. He wished he could stick his face onto the picture. He nodded repeatedly, obviously very satisfied with the design.
The other three designers like the two-part functional division the most, especially the green space under the 4.2-meter-high overhead layer, which is likely to retain a resting place that is deeply loved by local residents.
The remaining three professors were somewhat confused and talked quietly to each other. From Tao Nanfeng’s narration, we can feel the integration of the old and the new, and the integration of demand and planning. So, where is the integration of modern and tradition reflected?
Miao Jing said nothing, with a smile on his face, not even willing to blink.
It was the first time that he looked at Tao Nanfeng for such a long time and heard her speaking confidently on the stage. It was a pleasure for both his eyes and ears, and there seemed to be a faint sweetness in the air.
Liu Yuanyu leaned close to Miao Jing's ear and joked, "Oh, you said you weren't my little lover, but your eyes are almost on her face~"
Miao Jing glared back at him, but that look wasn't sharp at all.
Liu Yuanyu chuckled, but there was a hint of cruelty in his smile: "You rejected my sister just for this Tao Nanfeng? I heard that she is married and has children. What do you want to do?"
Miao Jing suddenly turned his head and stared at Liu Yuanyu: "I won't do anything, I'll just watch... Is that not okay?"
For some reason, Liu Yuanyu could sense sadness in his voice. He couldn't help but burst into laughter and pointed his finger at Miao Jing: "Miao Jing, you have come to this day!"
Tao Nanfeng's voice on the stage suddenly became louder. Miao Jing and Liu Yuanyu stopped discussing and looked at her at the same time.
“You cannot see the true face of Mount Lu because you were born in it. As architects from Jiangcheng, our team may have a deeper understanding of the heritage and tradition of Kyoto architecture than those of you who live in Kyoto.
Big roof, flying eaves and brackets, roof animals, painted carved beams, Chinese red... If we could select one or two of these symbols of traditional Chinese historical architecture and place them on this modern gymnasium, would it be possible to create an illusion and conflict of time and space?
So our team searched all over Kyoto and recorded some buildings with good historical heritage and unique features. Please see the pictures. ”
Picture by picture, frame by frame...
Everyone's eyes followed Tao Nanfeng's finger and slid across the pictures on the display board. Miao Jing and Liu Yuanyu, two people who were born and raised in Kyoto, seemed to discover for the first time that the cultural heritage of Kyoto architecture is everywhere.
"The gymnasium represents sports and fashion, so overly traditional elements may seem out of place. After repeated attempts, we finally applied traditional Chinese architectural elements to the entrance. The white steps, vermilion railings, and stone carvings at the entrance, do they look familiar?"
It looks familiar. How could it not look familiar? All Chinese people know that this is the entrance to the imperial palace.
“From the entrance of the ancient imperial palace to the starlit hall, it feels like traveling through time and space, completing the transition from ancient times to modern times, from the powerful to the common people.”
Miao Jing stared at Tao Nanfeng in a daze. She looked radiant and brilliant.
No wonder Xiangbei said that Tao Nanfeng's eyes light up whenever he talks about architecture, and said that he will fully support Tao Nanfeng's career. It turns out... when a person is focused, he will shine like the sun.
After Tao Nanfeng finished his statement, there was a moment of silence at the scene.
Liu Yuanyu was the first to react. He stood up and clapped his hands: "Good, good, good, good, you said it better than you drew it!"
Miao Jing pushed him back into the chair and said to Tao Nanfeng apologetically: "Don't pay attention to him, just answer the questions of other experts."
Liu Yuanyu wanted to say something else, but Miao Jing gave him a warning look. He muttered and shrank his neck, and did not continue to make a fool of himself.
Several other experts asked excitedly.
“What is the height of the mezzanine floor? Has the structural safety been considered?”
“Have you considered the cost of your design?”
"There is no problem with the color combination of vermilion and jade white. How do you connect the inside and outside?"
After answering the questions, Tao Nanfeng bowed and left. Miao Jing looked at her back quietly, feeling deeply moved.
She devoted everything to her dream and shined on the stage that belonged to her. But I have been doing nothing and don’t know where my ideal is.
If you can't shine, then follow the sun.
