National Treasure Artist

Chapter 144

The lecture continued until after eleven o'clock in the evening.

Gongtong pointed out the contradictions caused by more and more new demands born in contemporary society and the failure of architectural forms to keep up.

The full house audience went through a whole mental process, from questioning, to hesitation, to being conquered by Davidia involucrata later!

The auditorium of Shuimu University is the building with the most glorious history in the school, and the influential lectures in it have gradually endowed it with the representative meaning of "innovation"!
Tonight, the lecture of Davidia involucrata was held here, which once again put on a more dazzling halo for it.

Later generations, in the history books describing the development of modernist architecture, in every textbook, the auditorium of Shuimu University has left a strong and colorful stroke, which is a milestone that must not be bypassed!

Every year, countless tourists from all over the world rush to the auditorium and the site of Baigongtong studio to visit and pay their respects!
"Thank you for listening, my lecture is over."

On the stage, Gongtong bowed deeply to the audience, and then said in a deep voice.

After he finished speaking, he went straight down the stairs without stopping, stepped on the red carpet and walked out the door.

The full audience just watched in a daze, and the five points that Gongtong finally summed up continued to echo in their minds:

"First, it should be emphasized that architecture should develop with the times, and modern architecture should adapt to industrialized society."

"Second, it should be emphasized that architects should study and solve practical functions and economic problems of buildings."

"Third, we should actively adopt new materials and new structures, and give full play to the characteristics of new materials and new structures in architectural design."

"Fourth, it should be advocated to resolutely get rid of the shackles of outdated architectural styles and let go of creating new architectural styles."

"Five, we should advocate the development of new architectural aesthetics and create new architectural styles."

The loud voice played over and over again in my mind.

They kept chewing, but the more they chewed, the more frightened everyone became.

I just feel that each of these words contains great wisdom!
When Gongtong entered the auditorium, he was greeted with warm applause.

When Davidia involucrata left, there was silence behind him!
People often say that beautiful women love heroes, and Davidia involucrata at this time is really obsessed.

Jingmo, the rich lady who has been bluffing and carefree for more than 20 years, is really about to fall, and she looks at the back of Davidia dove, with a strange light shining in her beautiful eyes.

One thing she did was to do whatever came to her mind, without any hesitation, she immediately got up and chased after her!
The two left the auditorium one after the other.

Bai Gongtong dropped a deep-sea bomb on the design field, and walked away like this, leaving behind a group of stunned students, teachers, professors, and practitioners.
It's nothing more than that if you think about it and go away to hide your merit and fame.

After a long time, the audience in the auditorium gradually recovered from the shock.

Clap clap clap!

The applause finally sounded!

The students and professors slapped their hands red.

The entire auditorium exploded, and the rococo-style designer Miao and the romantic-style designer Mo left in a hurry.

They took out their mobile phones, and they didn't know whose number they dialed.

Designer Meng, the designer of the functionalist building, was still sitting in his seat with a solemn expression. He kept recalling the words of Gongtong in his mind, and his eyes shone with an inexplicable light.

After the applause fell, people still did not leave.

They showed excitement, kept discussing, kept sharing with friends and strangers around them, and explored their own knowledge.

They got together and recalled the words in Davidia Davidson's lecture word for word.

Among the audience were old professors from the Department of Architecture, designers from outside the school, and even editors of architectural design magazines.
With trembling hands, they dialed one after another domestic or foreign numbers.

At this time, I don’t care what time difference you are in, no matter whether you are in the early morning or noon, whether you have something important or free
I don't know how many big bosses were woken up from the bed, and I don't know how many big bosses temporarily terminated the ongoing meeting.
The audience at the scene repeated passages of Gongtong's words to the phone.

On the other side of the phone, there are classicism, baroque style, eclecticism, etc., and the masters of each genre range from carelessness, to frowning, to anger, and even vague fear in their hearts!
Revolution, revolution is coming!
"There is no way to use in our architecture the forms of bygone ages. Even with the highest artistic talent, it will fail!"

"We can't go back and forth endlessly!"

"If the building does not move forward, it will die!"

"It should be advocated to actively adopt new materials and new structures, and give full play to the characteristics of new materials and new structures in architectural design."

"It should be advocated to resolutely get rid of the shackles of outdated architectural styles and let go of creating new architectural styles."

"should claim"

Gongtong's words spread crazily among the bosses.

The president of the International Institute of Architects, Greater China Xiangjiang Branch, Xue Laoben had already fallen asleep, and was woken up by a phone call.

He sat back in the quaint study and wrote down a sentence passed on the phone with a pen on the paper.

President Xue, who hadn't smoked for a long time, lit the cigarette again, looking solemn, looking at the words on the paper in silence.

"A path has been chosen."

"Modern architecture."

"This is to be the standard bearer!"

Time passed by little by little, and for a long while, only Xue Lao sighed.

The actions of Davidia involucrata are completely beyond the imagination of the old man. He thought that Davidia involucrata would either follow the path of revival of traditional national architecture or the path of modernist architecture.

It’s not bad to be sure now, it’s not bad to take the path of modernist architecture, but it’s too crazy, crazy beyond the limits of everyone’s imagination.

It is to overthrow the architectural form of the world for thousands of years!
The president of the American branch, Milo Mason, left a meeting in a hurry.

He answered the phone, listening to the description on the phone, his body trembled.

"Good! Good! Good!"

"You send more detailed information to my computer immediately."

After hanging up the phone, Mason walked back and forth in the office, and he could hear his rapid breathing.

He repeated the five viewpoints of Davidia involucrata over and over in his mouth, and he became more excited and excited every time he read it.

"This lecture is God's best gift to modernist architecture!"

"These views will be our bible!"

"I must present it in its entirety to modernist architects across the United States."

Sitting back in his seat, Mason made a decision.

The largest architectural magazine issued by the American Architectural Branch has been printed, but it has been returned and re-edited
If Davidia involucrata can really be the standard bearer, then designers all over the United States will immediately become his followers!
Shi Potian was shocked, and the uproar had just begun.

But the instigator of the incident, Bai Gongtong, was walking alone in the campus.

In other words, he was not alone. Feng Jingmo followed him from a distance.

Feng Jingmo was about to approach, but at this moment, Gongtong took out her phone and dialed a certain number.

Feng Jingmo stopped and looked around curiously.

"The lecture is over, is it going well?"

Ban Xia's gentle voice sounded.

"Of course it went well, and I don't even look at who my buddy is!"

The corners of Davidia Davidson's mouth raised, and she answered in a very relaxed and stinky manner.

His voice fell, and he said with a little show:
"Let me tell you, buddy put forward a few new points of view this time, which shocked all the audience who came to the lecture!"

"There were three designers who wanted to make trouble. I was so shocked that I didn't dare to say anything during the whole lecture!"

Davidia involucrata beamed with joy, eloquently:
"Hmph, it's not just like this, just watch, wait until tomorrow, the whole world will be shocked by my buddies!"

On the other end of the phone, Ban Xia listened with a smile.

After a while, after Gongtong finished speaking, Banxia responded: "Hee hee. Anyway, bragging and not paying taxes, you go ahead bragging, I'll listen!"

Gongtong laughed without explaining what she said.

Behind him, Jing Mo blinked and watched, feeling that she had never seen this appearance of Davidia involucrata.

She guessed the person on the other end of the phone, and she was very envious.

In this way, in this ordinary and extraordinary night, one person is in front and the other is behind, time passes quietly.

"Yo, it's almost twelve o'clock."

"Well, it's just a few minutes until the new year."

"Let's celebrate New Year's Eve together!"

"it is good!"

"What are you doing? What's delicious for dinner?"

Sitting down on a stone bench on campus, looking up at the sky and continuing to chat on the phone.

Jing Mo also sat down not far away
"Today's night is really nice, where are you?"

"It's beautiful, the moon and stars are rare."

Ban Xia sat on the table by the bay window in the room, looked out the window, and replied softly.

"New Year's Eve, New Year's Eve!"

"Ten seconds left"

"eight seconds"

"seven seconds"

"Six five. Four. Three."

"two one"

The two looked at the sky together and counted down together.

The clock is turning, the new year is here!

"Happy New Year!"

"Happy New Year!"

"Hey, I seem to have heard the sound of fireworks at your place. Are there fireworks?"

"Well, my ears are very good."

"is it beautiful?"

"It's beautiful!"

Congratulations on the phone at the same time.

"Happy New Year."

On one side, Jing Mo looked at the sky with a calm expression, and said softly.
