National Treasure Artist

Chapter 245

There is a poem that says, "Because of meeting monks in the bamboo courtyard, I have half a day's leisure in my floating life."

After listening to Bai Gongtong's last advice, Kurokawa Yazhi said goodbye to Su Mu, Qianhe, and Banxia and returned to the island country.

Turned down interviews with journalists from all over the world, and ignored invitations to lectures, judges, etc. from all directions
Bai Gongtong only stays quietly in the studio in Shuimu Garden. While waiting for suitable bids or commissions to appear, she either researches and ponders her own design path, or gives pointers to fellow members, or goes to school to give design lessons to children majoring in design. They gave lectures, which was very leisurely.

With the continuation of the Barcelona Expo, the China Pavilion with the name of Davidia involucrata is becoming more and more resounding, and its light is also becoming more and more prosperous, while the United States Pavilion is making progress under this dazzling light.
The capitalists began to gradually realize the superiority of modernist architecture, so quietly, the business volume of modernist architecture around the world began to gradually increase.

Of course, it may be because it is currently mainly based on grassroots construction such as factories and civilian residences, so that all of this has not attracted the attention of classicist masters who are high above and come and go among celebrities and aristocrats.

At the same time, in these days, there are also snowflake-like design commissions sent to Baitongtong from all over the world.

An oil businessman, a world-famous rich man's house entrustment; a real estate owner's large-scale project entrustment; an IT industry leader's commercial office building entrustment
The design fee for each commission is calculated according to the top level in the world today.

But Bai Gongtong rejected all these coveted projects. With his current status, it was naturally not the project that chose him, but him to choose the project.

When designers and artists do this, it can be said that Party A and Party B have lost their identities.

For ordinary designers, Party A is the boss who pays the money. He tells you how to do it, how to do it, and how to change it.

As long as the master is not satisfied, even on the last night before handing over the map, I can call you back.

However, the current status of Davidia involucrata is different. It is the honor and pride of that party A that he designs works for the wealthy party or even the government.

Let Party A dare to point fingers, even if I draw a line, you will never be allowed to make any moves.

And even if this is the case, there is no less money that should be had!

At the end of May and the beginning of June, the temperature is comfortable, neither hot nor cold, and the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant.

Beside the flower bed, Davidia involucrata was lying on a chair, basking in the sun, closing its eyes slightly and humming a little song.

Busy interns passed by from time to time in the garden, and they couldn't help slowing down and lightening their steps when they approached Baigongtong. They looked at Baigongtong with respect and admiration from their hearts.

I saw Ban Xia leaving the gate of the old house holding a document in her hand. She stood in front of the gate and looked around. When she saw Davidia involucrata, her beautiful face showed a sweet smile.

Wearing a clean and elegant white shirt, the slight lace see-through design on the shoulders adds a bit of sophistication and sexiness to it. With shorts, it reveals a pair of white and tender long legs, which looks elegant, fashionable and refreshing.

She walked lightly to Bai Gongtong's side, carefully observed and sized her up, and then stretched out her hand to pinch the latter's nose.

After some laughing and fighting, the two became serious.

"Davidia involucrata."

"This is an art museum commission from an island country."

Banxia stood beside Gongtong, handed over the folder, and introduced, "It's a private entrustment."

"Its client is Mihideko Koyama."

Gongtong opened the folder, collected herself, and began to scan the contents.

Banxia waited until Gongtong read the general content, and continued: "I have checked the identity of this Mihide Koyama."

"She is very famous in the island country, and her status is extraordinary. The outside world's evaluation of her wealth is immeasurable."

"inestimable?"

Bai Gongtong raised her eyebrows when she heard her hand stop, a little surprised.

"Yes, it is immeasurable."

"This Mihideko Koyama is also the leader of a new religion in the island country, the Shinji Hideaki Society."

Ban Xia nodded earnestly, she made detailed preparations, and then introduced: "This god-like Hideaki will believe that the beauty between heaven and earth can change people's hearts from evil, so they are happy to collect beautiful works of art in the world , and store it in a beautiful place.”

"So I want you to design such an art gallery to store artworks."

"In fact, before this, they have invited two masters to design two art galleries, and this is the third one."

Gong Tong expressed her understanding, and looked at the documents and materials in her hand again.

"The project is located in the protected forest area of ​​their island country's Forest Law, the designated area of ​​​​the Sand Prevention Law, and the third type of special area in the prefectural park of the Natural Park Law."

Seeing the introduction of the plot, Gong Tong raised his spirits, with some interest on his face, he said to himself.

This kind of plot has very high requirements for the plan, because not only can you not destroy its environment, nature, and terrain, but you must also meet the island country's legal regulations for special plots.

"It's a bit challenging."

Gongtong continued to look down, but suddenly, her brows frowned: "The construction site is at the intersection of two rivers."

He spread out the document, pointed at the satellite image in the document, gestured to Banxia, ​​and said: "There is a problem here, because we must consider the particularity of the terrain, we have to come down from the mountain to get there. "

"That's very unreasonable."

Gong Tong shook her head, closed the folder, returned it to Pinellia, and said without the slightest hesitation: "Reject them."

"I can feed back my reasons to them."

Banxia looked at Davidia involucrata, a little unresponsive, and then nodded abruptly.

I had something to do, so I got busy without having a few love words with Gongtong.

Gongtong stretched her waist, yawned comfortably, and half-closed her eyes to look at the distant sky.

At this moment, I only felt a sudden blackness in front of my eyes.

Immediately afterwards, he saw the rough guy Zuo Chao standing in front of him with some awkwardness.

"Super, what's the matter?"

Gongtong glanced at Zuo Chao's expression, and knew that the kid was busy, so she asked carelessly.

"Boss, I have some questions I want to ask you."

Zuo Chao said angrily.

"Let's talk about it, what does it look like for a five-year-old and three-year-old man to be coy?"

Gongtong replied nonchalantly.

"and many more."

"Sit down first, good guy, I can't get any light if you hit this stick. I think it's getting dark so early."

Before Zuo Chao could say anything, Gongtong spoke again and again.

He handed Zuo Chao a Mazha and told him to sit down.

"More than three months ago, President Pan of Hongtian Real Estate Co., Ltd. sent me an invitation to design a house in a commune at the foot of the Great Wall."

Zuo Chao gradually narrated the matter completely, Gongtong smiled after hearing it clearly.

Mr. Pan and several professors from Beijing University got the right to use a base at the foot of the Great Wall.

But this base is not close to the urban area, and not even trees can grow. There is no flat and desolate land, and it is almost impossible for commercial use.

So a few of them came up with a whim and wanted to find [-] outstanding young architects in Asia, and let them design their favorite homes on this land, so that this land became an advanced experiment in the architectural circle. field.

And Zuo Chao is one of the twelve outstanding young Asian architects invited!

"Chaozi, yes, they are all outstanding young architects in Asia."

Gongtong laughed.

This is a good project, not for making money, but an attempt and promotion of architecture.

In Gongtong’s memory, there was a similar project in another world, which also invited [-] young designers to design. In the end, this plan won the Venice Biennale’s "Architectural Art Promotion Award", which is very rare. .

"I'm still far behind."

Zuo Chao scratched his head and replied.

He paused, his face was a little gloomy, and he said, "I'm a little at a loss. I have made many attempts in the past few months and deliberated on dozens of plans, but I always feel a little bit wrong."

Among the 11 outstanding young designers in Asia, except for Zuo Chao, the other [-] are all emerging designers from various countries.

They come from island countries, Korea, Singapore, Thailand, etc.
Among these designers, only Zuo Chao is the most unknown and the most questioned, and many followers secretly say that he has entrusted the light of Bai Gongtong's studio.

Zuo Chao experienced high pressure and criticism.
