Back to 1980: Please Love Me Again

Chapter 148 The Third Generation Skyscraper

Yangcheng, Shamian Island.

"Mr. Zhao, can you tell me in detail?"

Mo Bo also suddenly became interested.

Mo Bo, who has already passed the year of knowing his destiny, can be regarded as half a Chinese hand, and he is very fluent in Chinese.

He was not dissatisfied because Zhao Wenmu questioned his design.

A young man who made Rongren full of praise.

One can easily name the young people at the Chrysler Center.

Naturally, it won't be an idiot talking nonsense.

Rong Ren's eyes lit up when he heard the words.

Regarding the appearance of the building, the design team has revised it many times, but he always felt that something was missing.

Perhaps Zhao Wenmu could really have a different idea.

This is also the main reason why he invited Zhao Wenmu over.

"Mr. Mober, the Empire State Building and the Chrysler Center are miracles of building materials. Their heights are more than 300 meters. This height alone has a natural majesty and style, which makes people feel fear and admiration. Their height The towers enrich the overall shape of the building.”

"However, the height of the Yellow Swan Hotel is less than [-] meters, and the tower on the top is only a symbolic existence. In this case, the overly simple appearance will reduce people's expectations and imagination of the hotel."

What Zhao Wenmu said caused an uproar in everyone's heart.

Zhao Jing, Zhao Wenqiu, Rong Xinyi and Zheng Xiaowen were shocked by the height of the Empire State Building and Chrysler Center.

More than 300 meters, what kind of concept is this!
Rong Renyi and Mo Bo were also shocked by Zhao Wenmu's familiarity with architecture.

"Besides, our country has just started reform and opening up. In order to set a benchmark, the Yellow Swan Hotel must be eye-catching even if it is a bit rustic!"

Zhao Wenmu lowered his voice and said.

Higher, bigger and more magnificent is the pursuit of this era.

This means advanced in China today!

The Yellow Swan Hotel can't expand its height and area, so it can only write about its style.

Naturally, such a simple design cannot be adopted.

Rong Ren thought for a while, then nodded.

Mo Bo also thought about it, and nodded after a while.

"Mr. Zhao, you are right. It was my mistake on this point. Architecture should consider the user's feelings, not just focus on the designer's vision."

"Then do you have any suggestions?"

Mo Bo also looked at Zhao Wenmu and said seriously.

"Mr. Mober, you should be familiar with the Seagram Building. I suggest that you can learn from the design concept of Mr. Mies van der Rohe and use glass curtain walls to enhance the high-end sense of the building."

"I can only think of the general direction, and I can't tell the specific details."

In the previous life, there were several skyscrapers in the CBD of Beijing, among which were the works of Zhao Wenmu.

All are just involved in the construction as one of the investors.

But he is no stranger to this kind of "glass box" architecture.

"Ah, Mr. Mies van der Rohe, the Seagram Building he designed is an architectural marvel. Let me see, let me see, glass walls."

Mo Bo was also thinking about it, and took out his notebook to write and draw.

"Mr. Mies van der Rohe combined the logic of architectural design and machine production, and used various industrial materials such as crafts and glass that can be reproduced in batches to build houses. His philosophy constantly emphasized that "small is big" and fully paid attention to the functions of buildings. Let the building be more transparent and pure, which is the so-called 'inner transparency'."

While Mo Bo was revising the design draft, Zhao Wenmu introduced the characteristics of the new architecture to Rong Renyi and Zhao Jing.

"Imagine, a few years later, there will be row upon row of skyscrapers. At night, every office building is brightly lit, and in every window that shines through the lights, there are unknown laborers. How wonderful is this kind of city lights. !"

Zhao Wenmu described the night scenes of the Beijing CBD and the Bund in Shanghai to everyone.

Everyone is unconsciously immersed in imagination.

"so beautiful!"

"Yeah, so beautiful!"

Even Rong Renyi couldn't help feeling emotional.

He has seen this kind of building with inner beauty.

Will there be such a day in the Mainland?

he thought to himself.

There will be.

"Wow! Third brother, how do you know so much!"

Zhao Wenqiu finally issued a soul torture.

Zhao Wenmu said too many unreasonable things today, and too much knowledge is beyond their reach.

Zhao Wenmu rubbed her head.

"Little sister, these things have been available abroad for decades. If you have a chance, remember to go out and have a look."

He did not answer Zhao Wenqiu's question.

But he expressed his expectations.

He expects everyone here to go out and have a look.

Take its essence and discard its dross.

"Mr. Zhao, what do you mean by the internal disclosure you just mentioned?"

Mober also said suddenly.

"The glass curtain wall replaces the traditional exterior wall, which will make the appearance of the building the most concise, and the vision of the building users will be the widest. At night, the internal lights give the building an unparalleled sense of transparency, and the skyscrapers will show the beauty of lightness. This It is the aesthetic meaning of introspection.”

"I think the classical skyscrapers that pursue height and the modern minimalist skyscrapers that also pursue height can be called the first and second generation skyscrapers, while the third-day skyscrapers should pursue the beauty of nature and harmony, and height is not so important .”

Zhao Wenmu thought for a while and said slowly.

"Good! Great!"

"Mr. Zhao, you speak so well! Listening to Jun's words is better than studying for ten years! You should be my teacher!"

Saying that, Mo Bo would also bow down to worship.

Zhao Wenmu hurriedly dodged sideways.

"Mr. Mobo is too good! How dare I be your teacher, my ability and knowledge are not enough for you to be a student!"

Zhao Wenmu is very humble.

"No, Mr. Zhao, there is an allusion in ancient China about a word teacher, and a word can be a teacher. Your inspiration to me today is definitely not just a word teacher!"

Speaking of which, Mo Bo also bowed respectfully.

Zhao Wenmu had no choice but to quickly return the gift.

This paragraph of discussion about the three generations of skyscrapers is like enlightenment, which also benefited Mober a lot.

After returning to China, he carefully sorted out the history of skyscraper development, and even more recognized Zhao Wenmu's point of view.

As a result, articles about skyscraper development stages and future prospects continue to appear in relevant periodicals and magazines.

This series of articles did not trigger too much discussion at the time, but in the following decades, its forward-looking and scientific nature has been continuously verified.

So it was gradually regarded as a standard in the construction industry.

It was only then that people noticed that Mober also clearly mentioned in the article that it was a Chinese named Wenmu Zhao who first put forward the theory of the development of skyscrapers in three generations.

Back to the present.

"Mr. Rong, I just took a general look. The glass curtain wall plan is feasible and will not involve changes to the main body of the building, but there is bad news."

Having said that, Mober also paused.

When Rong Ren looked at him, he felt a faint pain in his liver.

"cost?"

"Yes, cost!"

Mober went on to say:

"The glass curtain wall needs to take into account the local climate in Yangcheng, at least to ensure that there are no problems in typhoon weather, and to avoid light pollution to the river. In addition, the privacy and safety of the guests must be guaranteed."

"Back then, Mr. Mies van der Rohe once designed a villa with all glass curtain walls for a lady. However, because the sunlight penetrated the glass and caused serious damage to the human body, he paid a large sum of money and his career was depressed for several years. "

"Therefore, the glass used in the hotel needs to be custom-made special glass."

Mo Bo also said, Rong Renichi's complexion became more and more gloomy visible to the naked eye.

After a pause, Mober also expressed his own conclusion.

"It is expected that the cost will increase by 500-800 million."

This is not a small amount. Rong Renyi donated to build a hotel in Panyu, and it only cost 300 million Hong Kong dollars, equivalent to less than 500 million yuan.

Rong Ren thought for a while.

He hesitated for a while.

"Just do it!"

He said firmly.

After bidding farewell to Rong Renyi and Mo Bo, Zhao Wenmu led the crowd to wander the streets of Yangcheng.

Compared with the north, the proportion of girls wearing skirts and high heels in the south is obviously higher by more than an order of magnitude.

No matter what age, the slender and vigorous calves of young girls are a beautiful scenery.

The tram passed by, and the young and beautiful girl squeezed into the car like a wind, and disappeared at the end of sight.

"Ah Jing, can I buy you a short skirt like that?"

Knee-length skirt, generous and elegant, yet playful.

It must be suitable for Zhao Jing.

Zhao Wenmu imagined Zhao Jing's appearance in a short skirt in his mind.

"Well, which skirt?"

Zhao Jing asked seemingly casually.

"That girl just now"

Having said that, Zhao Wenmu stopped abruptly.

Not good, murderous.

"Uh, it's the one we saw at the night market last night."

Zhao Wenmu hastily changed his words.

However it was too late.

"Oh, isn't it the one worn by the girl who just got into the car? It's really pretty!"

Zhao Jing put her hands on Zhao Wenmu's waist with a smile.

Make a twisting motion.

"What girl? Yeah, I didn't notice."

Zhao Wenmu tried his best to cover up.

Fortunately, at this time, a new discovery on the street saved him.

Someone is selling flowers.

Zhao Wenmu saw someone selling flowers for the first time.

Some kind of yellow flower, with branches that look a little like roses, just laying on the ground.

A nylon bag was spread underneath.

The stall owner is a woman in her 50s, sitting on the curb.

The flowers were spread out in front of her.

Zhao Wenmu flashed over immediately.

A flower costs 3 cents.

He asked for nine flowers.

The stall owner carefully cleaned up the dead branches and miscellaneous leaves, and seeing that they were foreigners, he reminded them intimately:

"Take it home and put it in a vase, change the water every day, it can last for five or six days!"

While Zhao Wenmu was waiting, some people came to buy flowers.

They all bought one or two flowers. Judging from the familiar tone of the stall owner and the Cantonese that Zhao Wenmu couldn't understand when they spoke, they should be residents nearby.

The south is really exquisite!
People also buy bouquets of flowers to put in their homes.

The flowers that Zhao Wenmu gave to Zhao Jing every day were either picked from everywhere, or found in his own yard, or found on the mountain.

It takes some work every time.

If only northerners were this refined.

A bouquet of beautiful yellow flowers was handed to Zhao Jing.

You don't have to worry about peeking at other girls.

snort!
