Chapter 244 Bai Gongtong, the spiritual leader of the island country (for subscription)

'Boom dong dong'

Still thinking about something, there was a knock on the office door.

Bai Gongtong raised her head, looked towards the door, and said at the same time, "Please come in."

The door was opened, only to see Masayuki Kurokawa walking in.

"Yazhi, what's the matter?"

Gongtong looked at Kurokawa Masayuki, with a smile on her face, and asked gently.

Counting the days, Masayuki Kurokawa has been by his side for a year. This young designer leader of the island country, the young man who looks like a nobleman is unexpectedly unassuming, and he has already mingled with everyone in the studio. He is a real member of Baigongtong Studio.

As the leader of the young generation of the island country and regarded as the head of the future design circle of the island country, when Masayuki Kurokawa made the decision to follow Bai Gongtong, the pressure on his shoulders was unimaginable to anyone.

But even so, the seemingly indifferent young man in front of him never wavered a bit. He was stubborn and determined in his bones, and he also had the arrogance of a nobleman.

"Designer Bai."

Masayoshi Kurokawa walked up to Bai Gongtong, but didn't sit down. He shouted seriously, and then bowed respectfully.

"what happened?"

Gongtong looked at it suspiciously.

"I am very grateful to Designer Bai for his care and teaching these days, Yazhi has benefited a lot!"

Masahiro Kurokawa straightened up, looked at Davidia Davidson, and said, "I'm here to say goodbye to you. My father called me back not long ago."

After he finished speaking, he closed his mouth, waiting for Bai Gongtong's words.

"That's it."

"I understand."

Bai Gongtong nodded, and he said to Kurokawa Masayuki with a smile: "You sit down first, I happen to have something to say to you."

Reaching out, he took a chair for Kurokawa Masayuki and placed it directly opposite him, letting him sit down.

"I should thank you."

Gongtong looked at Masayuki Kurokawa, paused, and continued: "You have worked hard these days, and you have helped me and the studio a lot."

"Whether it is in the design and construction of the American Pavilion or the China Pavilion, you, the second designer, are indispensable."

"Yazhi was never stingy when giving advice to Fatty and the others."

"I see all of these."

Bai Gongtong praised.

"Master Ji Zhang must have something important to call you back, so I won't keep you." Bai Gongtong said, although there was some reluctance in his tone, but the smile on his face was extraordinarily bright, with blessings in it.

After a while, I heard Gongtong say in a deep voice: "We will always regard you as a member of Baigongtong's studio!"

Hearing this, Kurokawa Masashi's expression was unknowingly moved, and he followed him and nodded vigorously.

The atmosphere between the two became very good, Bai Gongtong gave a few more instructions to Kurokawa Masayuki, and then looked at the latter seriously.

Seeing Bai Gongtong showing such a serious look, Masayuki Kurokawa immediately straightened his body, quietly held his breath, concentrated his attention, and looked at the former without blinking.

I followed Bai Gongtong for a year, and witnessed Bai Gongtong's miracles.

Masayoshi Kurokawa deeply understood what kind of talent the young man in front of him, who was about the same age as him, had, and he also understood more clearly what it meant when the young man was serious.

When Bai Gongtong designed the American Pavilion, he was so serious.

When Bai Gongtong published the four pillar theories of modernism in the Chicago Auditorium, the University of Chicago, Harvard University, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, he was so serious.

When Bai Gongtong designed the American Pavilion, he was so serious.
Masayuki Kurokawa knows that Bai Gongtong is usually a little lazy, but whenever he is serious, it is when he changes the world.

"Yazhi, you're going back, there may never be such an unrestrained, gaping moment between you and me in the future."

Gongtong said.

Masayuki Kurokawa was about to say something, but saw Gongtong wave his hand, and said in a deep voice, "I don't know what kind of parting gift I should give you."

"Just talk to you about the design path of this island country."

Hearing the voice clearly, Kurokawa Masashi suddenly trembled, and looked at Davidia Davidson in disbelief.

He grasped hard with his hands on his legs before slowly releasing them.

China's design path was far behind the world's design circle, far worse than that of island countries, and it was at a stage of confusion with no direction.

It was Bai Gongtong who personally pointed it out and corrected it, so that it has become famous in the world today.

Masayuki Kurokawa completely saw this scene in his eyes and remembered it in his heart.

Now, Bai Gongtong wants to talk to him about the road of this island country, how can he not be excited?
As for parting gifts?

What gift could be heavier than this one?Even more valuable!
"You say!"

Masayuki Kurokawa said hastily.

"The development of the island nation's design path is very clear."

Bai Gongtong nodded, unhurriedly, and said calmly: "I divided it into five stages."

Hearing Davidia involucrata's words, Masayuki Kurokawa kept thinking.

"The first stage, the initial stage, is called imitation."

"Since the Meiji Restoration in 1868, the architecture of island countries at that time began to imitate Western Europe, and gradually changed from the original wooden structure to the 'Western style architecture' of brick and wood or masonry structure."

Bai Gongtong paused for a moment before continuing: "It was built in strict accordance with Western proportions and construction methods, and has pure Western origin."

Hearing the words, Kurokawa Masahiro nodded in agreement.

"The second stage, the initial stage, is called accumulation."

"Before the end of the 50s, the post-war economic recovery stage of the island country was severe, and a large number of constructions began. This stage is the accumulation stage of the island country's construction volume."

In the office, Bai Gongtong showed the design development history of the island country in front of Masayuki Kurokawa.

Masayuki Kurokawa's heart is extremely complicated. On the one hand, he is shocked, because Bai Gongtong has a deeper understanding of the island country than any islander, and on the other hand, he is surprised, because these remarks are likely to really bring the design field of the island country into development. fast lane.

"The third stage of the island nation, which is the stage of development you are in now, I call it the integration stage."

Bai Gongtong said: "Architectural creation activities are abundant, architectural thoughts are active, excellent works and new theories appear frequently."

"A group of island country designers headed by your father want to open up a new direction."

Glancing at Masayuki Kurokawa, Gong Tong said slowly, "I want to find my own position in the blending of each other, and integrate the culture of the island country into my works."

"This is a very correct direction. In fact, you are all doing a good job."

"What I mainly want to tell you is the fourth and fifth stages that the field of architectural design in the island nation should develop."

Bai Gongtong's voice sounded, and Kurokawa Masayuki had already reduced his breathing as much as possible, and there was no unnecessary movement in his whole body, only Bai Gongtong was in his eyes.

The island country is currently in the third stage, and the next two stages are obviously the real guidance.

It may save one or even two or three generations of designers from the island country from taking countless detours!
Bai Gongtong looked at Kurokawa Masaki's nervous reaction, reached out and patted the latter's shoulder, and then said:
"The next stage is stage four, which I think is a very important stage for island nations."

"The consolidation phase, I call it the innovation phase."

"It requires you to make bold explorations in using new materials, inheriting traditions, creating new forms, and gradually find a unique creative path, which will eventually make the architectural field present a pattern in which a hundred flowers bloom."

From the moment the first word was uttered, Bai Gongtong's words became the voice of God in Kurokawa's ears.

Masahiro Kurokawa was ecstatic, and his worship of Davidia involucrata reached the highest level.

He is regarded as the successor of the next generation by designers all over the island, and he can naturally distinguish the rationality and accuracy of Bai Gongtong's theory.

It starts from the real situation of the island country, and it is a real development cheat and direction!
It is to let the design circle of the island country enter the development path of modernism, and it is to break through the path of modernism.

In the year he followed Bai Gongtong, Kurokawa Masanoyuki had long believed that modernism was the general trend in the future, and he would vigorously promote the reform of modernism after returning to China.

But it is clear that Baitongtong's introduction is more advanced, and it can save the island country an astonishing number both in terms of time and economy.

"Phase five, the innovation phase, I call it regression."

"At this stage, you need to reflect and settle down, and start to truly return to your own national spirit."

"At this time, the island country will truly become an important member of the world's design circle."

After returning to China, Masayuki Kurokawa took up the banner of the design circle of the island country as a matter of course, and led the island country to a new direction.

Masayuki Kurokawa has a pivotal position in the history of the island country, but this big cow insists on calling himself a student of the designer Baigongtong on any occasion.

When others call himself the spiritual leader and guiding light of the island country, he always waved his hand and denied it, saying that Master Bai should be the spiritual leader and guiding light of the island country's design circle!
