Qi Youxin frowned and closed the forum.
As an engineer in the School of Architecture, although he could not compare with rich and famous architects like Tao Ji, Qi Youxin felt that his future prospects would not be much worse. He always believed in his abilities and aesthetics, both of which were excellent.
After hearing about the show "Dream Builder", Qi Youxin immediately became a viewer.
After all, this is a variety show for his profession. Not only can he see the top level of his peers, but he can also express his professional opinions when talking to others and enjoy the admiring gazes of others.
He was speechless until he saw Master Tao's works.
Is this the level of a professional architect?
He is also a foreign student. I'm afraid that this Tao spent all his time abroad in the red-light district.
Then he saw Xu Shang's works.
This made Qi Youxin astonished, and for a moment, Qi Youxin even felt that he had found the direction for his future life struggles.
But Qi Youxin was completely confused by the public opinion on the Internet.
Although many people laughed at Master Tao in the beginning, these "common people" were soon laughed at by a large number of highly educated people. Under the attack of these highly educated people showing off their academic qualifications, incomes and luxury houses, the voices of the poor guys seemed to have no confidence.
These intellectuals quickly praised Master Tao's work to the sky and belittled Xu Shang's architecture as antiques, feudal dregs, and some even said it was worthless.
What Qi Youxin couldn't understand was that many ordinary people had gradually joined this group of highly educated people, like ducklings that had just hatched from their shells, blindly following the first life form they encountered, mechanically repeating "ah, right, right, right".
Could it be that I am the one who is wrong?
Qi Youxin even began to doubt himself.
He turned on the TV and prepared to watch another program related to architecture, which was "Cultural Travel" produced by CCTV.
The central bank that most people know is the one from the bank. But besides that one, there is another central bank that is equally impressive, and that is China Television.
The quality of CCTV programs is naturally beyond words. Today, Qi Youxin wants to watch a program launched by the Cultural and Educational Channel. The speaker of this program is from the pinnacle of Chinese architecture - Huajian Academy.
This person can no longer be described as a master, he should be called a dean!
After turning on the TV, Qi Youxin was stunned. Why did this building look so familiar?
"Cultural Travel" is a niche program, but because it is produced by CCTV, even if it is a niche program, the number of viewers is quite considerable. It is natural that there is an intersection with the audience of the program "Dream Builder".
Audiences who have just watched "Dream Builders" feel more and more that the house in the show is so eye-catching.
That thing behind Li Taidou...isn’t that the house built by Xu Shanggai?
Are these two programs linked?
At this time, the host explained to the audience: "I believe everyone has discovered that the building we are looking at in this episode is the work of architect Xu Shang in the program "Dream Builder" that we just saw on TV. Academician Li, can you give us an evaluation of this building?"
Li Taidou, who was standing in front of the camera, looked at the building in front of him and said with emotion: "I haven't seen such a good imitation Tang Dynasty building for a long, long time!"
The audience was stunned... Didn’t those knowledgeable people on the Internet say that this was outdated?
Why is Li Taidou’s evaluation completely different?
The host quickly asked, “Do you think so highly of this building?”
Li Taidou smiled and said, "Very high! If this wasn't an imitation of a Tang Dynasty building, I would probably rate it even higher. Of course, this doesn't mean that this architect can't do it. His work is just a better choice!"
“Can you give us a detailed introduction?”
"certainly!"
Li Taidou came to the front of the house and said, "The most authentic Tang-style architecture is made entirely of wood. This building seems to be the same, but in fact... knock on it and see!"
The host knocked on the wall. It was not the sound of knocking on wood, but a very steady sound.
"It looks like, it just has a layer of wood siding on the outside?"
"That's right, so this is just an imitation of Tang Dynasty architecture, but it is undoubtedly the best choice!"
Li Taidou asked again: "What do you think are the characteristics of the climate here?"
"The climate here is pretty good, relatively warm, and maybe a little humid!"
Li Taidou smiled and said, "Yes, the main disadvantage of wooden buildings is that they are easily damaged by fire, termites, and rain. Once the dark and damp foundation is corroded, the whole house will have to be renovated. And here, the air is poor and there are many insects and ants. Obviously, concrete is more suitable for the base structure."
"Also, the wood used to build a house is very expensive. This is especially true for wood that is resistant to corrosion. If all wood is used, the overall cost will definitely be much higher than reinforced concrete."
“So that’s how it is!”
The audience also widened their eyes. As the saying goes, laymen watch the excitement, while experts watch the details. From their perspective, their evaluation of Xu Shang's building can be summed up in just three simple words.
Really beautiful!
If we have to add some polish to these three words, it seems that only.
Oh shit, it looks so good!
It turns out that I am uneducated and can only say "fuck" to everyone.
After hearing that this leading figure from Huajian Academy spoke highly of Xu Shang, the audience opened the forum again and read the comments of those highly educated people, and suddenly they felt enlightened.
They felt that their brains must be filled with Wu Dalang's sesame cakes, which was why they believed the nonsense of this group of people.
But then again, is Xu Shang's imitation Tang-style building really that good without any flaws?
The host seemed to have heard the audience's voices and asked, "Academician Li, according to what you said, the lower floor of this building seems to be just an ordinary reinforced concrete structure. It is just covered with a layer of wood. Why do you give it such a high evaluation?"
Li Taidou shook his head slightly and said, "It's not that this architect can't create a completely retro Tang-style building. He just made some improvements to the building based on the local environment!"
"In fact, this building's carved windows, eaves, rafters, and other aspects are all the most authentic and top-level Tang Dynasty architectural aesthetics. Come, come with me and take a look!"
Li Taidou pointed to the eaves. The host also looked over there. Although he had participated in many programs, as an outsider, he couldn't help but ask curiously: "What's so special about this?"
"Believe it or not, no nails or glue were used in all the wooden structures of this house."
The host was stunned: "Not a single nail was used? Not a single drop of glue?"
