Chapter 192 The Future Cannot Abandon the Past (Subscribe)

Regarding his own question, the old man surnamed Xue actually didn't hold much hope in his heart.

After all, this problem cannot be solved by one or two people. It is the direction that generations of Chinese designers have worked hard to open up.

For so many years, Chinese designers have been looking for their own positioning, but they are still drifting after so many years.

They either imitate various Western architectural schools, or learn from American modernism.
However, no matter which direction seems to be able to obtain the recognition of the international design circle, this is also the reason why Chinese designers have always had a low status in the world.

Mr. Xue seemed to just mention it casually, but his expression was actually focused on Bai Gongtong.

For him, although he is not hopeful, even a faint hint is enough to surprise and excite him.

The other three masters at the table also listened attentively.

These old people are really concerned about the road of Chinese architectural art, and they are the earliest pioneers.

Gongtong was stunned when she heard Mr. Xue's question, and then lowered her head to express her thoughts.

After a while, he glanced at the old man, and said in a deep voice, "I have some humble opinions on this question."

"If it's not right, I hope seniors don't blame me."

Gongtong paused for a moment, then became more serious, and said word by word: "I think what domestic designers need to do most now is not to study some classical genre."

"It's not about studying modernism."

"It's not about imitating the path taken by architects in other countries."

Gongtong's three words in a row caused old Xue to frown, but the old man didn't say anything, but leaned forward and listened more carefully.

These three roads are the main roads that domestic designers are following. Who would have thought that they would be rejected by Bai Gongtong.

It would be fine if Bai Gongtong's assertion was just nonsense, but if it was true, it would be a big deal. It would mean that the general direction of their entire design circle in China is wrong?

Although the three old men who had entered the hall did not look at Bai Gongtong, they listened without saying a word. They looked serious and focused.

Even in order not to let Bai Gongtong notice, Lan Lao and Wu Lao specially picked up the teacups and sipped one after another.

"What domestic designers need to do is to establish a local architectural concept, a Chinese architectural design concept."

Bai Gongtong glanced at the three old people, and then turned his gaze back to Mr. Xue: "The future of Chinese architecture must not abandon its past."

As soon as the words fell, you could clearly see that Mr. Xue trembled suddenly, and a gleam of light shot out of his seemingly cloudy eyes.

The blue old three were also shocked in their hearts. Several old people looked at each other, and they all saw the ecstasy and suddenness in each other's hearts.

This is not a sign, this is a compass pointing directly in the direction!
Bai Gongtong doesn't know who Mr. Xue is, but he also hopes that his words can pass through the hands of several old people, so that the domestic design circle will avoid detours.

He said again: "What belongs to the nation belongs to the world!"

The four old people at the table only felt a 'buzzing' in their minds, and there were no other words in their hearts, and they kept thinking over and over again: "The nation belongs to the world!"

"The future of Chinese architecture must not abandon its past."

"Is this probably the reason why domestic designs are not recognized internationally?"

Gong Tong saw a few old people who were lost in thought and didn't bother them. He closed his mouth, picked up his cup, and turned his gaze to the podium in front of him.

Bai Gongtong didn't know, but there were countless people behind him who had been watching him since he sat down.

In the eyes of those people, from the beginning of the meeting, Bai Gongtong was ignorant and defiant. Not only did he not listen to the report summary seriously, but he kept talking non-stop.

In the eyes of those people, the wrinkled brows of the four old seniors, with serious faces, just showed the limit of dissatisfaction with Bai Gongtong.

In the eyes of those people, Mr. Xue, Mr. Wu, Mr. Lan, and Mr. Mo turned their backs to Bai Gongtong with sullen faces, which meant that they were ashamed to be at the same table with Bai Gongtong!

I was already jealous of Bai Gongtong in my heart, but when I saw such a scene, my face showed a coldness and joy.

"Old Wang, old Wang, that Bai Gongtong made Xue Lao and his seniors completely angry."

"Isn't it?"

"Can I still lie to you? If you don't believe me, look ahead and see if Mr. Xue and Mr. Wu are sullen?"

"Oh, it's true!"

"What's going on here?"

"Hey, I've been watching it all the time, let me tell you."

One by one, the bosses and experts in the middle and back of the banquet hall glanced at the table where Bai Gongtong was.

Although each of them didn't know what happened, they believed in the sound transmission, and there were faint smiles on their faces.

"Looking at the appearance of the fourth elder, this is not lightly angry!"

"This kid is still too young. He doesn't know the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth. He must be neither serious nor serious. He doesn't hide his words, so he angered several seniors."

"He has suffered a lot. With the prestige and connections of Mr. Yang and the others, it is enough to express a little dissatisfaction."

"What is Bai Gongtong afraid of? He doesn't often hang out in China, he is always popular in the world!"

"Xiao Li, you don't know this. No matter how famous he is internationally, he can't get rid of domestic influence. You must know that duckweed without roots is doomed to fail in the long run!"

"Hey hey, brother said yes."

Showing the demeanor of watching a play, he immediately vented his dissatisfaction with Bai Gongtong sitting in the circle of the first-generation seniors, and felt comfortable all over.

With a smile in his eyes, he looked towards the podium.

On the podium, page after page of projections and rounds of summaries passed quickly.

Soon it will be the awards ceremony, the highlight of the party!
The experienced chief engineers and professors in the room restrained their emotions and sat upright one after another.

This circle is a circle of seniority ranking, so how to improve this qualification?
However, winning major domestic awards undoubtedly plays a huge role in the channels for improving qualifications!

There are not many awards issued by the China Architecture Art Yearbook, only three:

China Architectural Art Yearbook Design Award;
Academic Award of China Architectural Art Yearbook;
And the last ancient village and traditional dwellings protection award!
Although there are few awards, it is precisely because of the small number that it has a high gold content. This award is not recognized outside China, but it is highly valued among senior designers in China.

The bosses, experts and scholars who have plans and project competitions wait and see each other, and their eyes are faintly confronting each other, but they say modest words from time to time:

"Professor Zhang, it seems that this year's academic award cannot escape you."

"Haha, where, where."

"Mr. Li, your art museum plan in the past year is really good, and this year's design award is definitely yours!"

"No, no, Mr. Wang's and Mr. Yu's plans are better than mine."

"Mr. Ma, this ancient village and traditional dwellings protection award can only be given to you. In the past year, you alone have made achievements in this area. Your renovation of Baozhen Fortress in Wansheng County is amazing!"

"Where, where"

The atmosphere in the banquet hall gradually became restless.

Bai Gongtong took a sip of tea and finally became more focused, but she didn't really care much about it.

However, in his opinion, this award ceremony must be more exciting and lively than the previous summary with no progress.

The four old Xue also suppressed their thoughts for the time being, concentrating one after another. They will need to present this award in a while.
