Rebirth: The Great Designer

Chapter 740 Losing the election and Huawei's new headquarters

"This design project highlights innovative thinking, and the design ideas are unconstrained. It can be called a genius. I will vote for him!" Merwin voted first, and he still admires Su Leqing very much.

"Agreed, and apart from innovation, this design is comparable to top designers in every aspect."

"I personally think that such a design is not enough to show the unique temperament of the ancient East, so I don't think he can represent China to win this award." Some people voted against it.

"I agree……"

"I object……"

"..."

Soon, eight judges had cast their votes, six had voted for it, two had voted against it, and only Grover North had not voted.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Grover North smiled in satisfaction, tapped his fingers on the table and said, "What is our criteria for awarding?"

"One: the spirit of humanistic care across national borders; two: inheritance and in-depth research on a certain culture; three: breaking through technical limitations and creating a new architectural construction technology; four: creating a unique style and art integration. Any two of the above points can become the winner of the Pritzker Architecture Prize, but I only saw innovations in architectural structures, and I can’t even say innovations, because the design concept of this rotating building was not first proposed by him.” Grover North said.

"Although there is no age limit for our Pritzker Architecture Prize, 22 years old is too young. If he wins the Pritzker Architecture Prize, the outside world will doubt our professionalism. After all, this Among the five hundred candidates, there are many highly respected designers who have never won the Pritzker Architecture Prize, so..."

"I vote against it!" Grover North said lightly.

So Su Leqing's final votes were six in favor and three against.

Mervin shook his head regretfully. The three negative votes almost announced that Su Leqing would miss the Pritzker Architecture Prize. What a pity for this talented young Chinese designer.

However, Su Leqing is still very young and still has many opportunities. Maybe after this setback, he will be able to settle down to study design and become a real design master.

Two months later, the selection of the Pritzker Architecture Prize was finally completed. This time, the winner of the Pritzker Architecture Prize is the 59-year-old Portuguese designer Eduardo Suto de Mora.

Grover North's evaluation of him is: In the past three decades, Demora has not only established a system of works of this era, but also responded to traditional architecture. His buildings have a unique ability--at the same time to convey seemingly contradictory personalities--strength and modesty, exaggeration and subtlety, bold public power and intimacy.

After the selection results came out, the official soon announced that Eduardo Suto de Mora would be awarded the Pritzker Architecture Prize in Lismu, the capital of Portugal.

Su Leqing, who has been following the Pritzker Architecture Prize, also saw the news immediately.

Seeing that he did not win the Pritzker Architecture Prize, Su Leqing was a little disappointed. Although he also felt that it would be impossible for him to win the Pritzker Architecture Prize, he still had a little bit of extravagant hope in his heart.

He knows that next year a Chinese designer will win the Pritzker Architecture Prize, but this Chinese designer is not him, but the top architect Wang Shu.

...

Spring goes and autumn comes, time flies, and in a blink of an eye, two years have passed.

After the master architect Wang Shu won the Pritzker Architecture Prize, Su Leqing has been studying his own style. Because of the design plans in his previous life, Su Leqing's design style is very changeable, and he does not have his own fixed style. To win the Pritzker Architecture Prize, he needs to have his own unique design style.

In the past two years, apart from Su Leqing specializing in his own design style, his Qingyue Architectural Design Office has also gradually gained fame. As Su Leqing's unique and stunning buildings appear in various places, Su Leqing's reputation is getting deeper and deeper. ,

Faintly known as the youngest quasi-master.

The reason why he is a quasi-master instead of a master is mainly because although Su Leqing has won various awards in the domestic architectural industry, he has not been able to win an international award.

This is also where Su Leqing's own heart knot lies. To be honest, if he really wants to win an international award, it is absolutely no problem, but such an award does not have the authority of the Pritzker Architecture Prize. If you want to win an award, you have to win the best one. He really doesn't look down on other awards.

In the past two years, Su Leqing has gradually formed his own design style, but he has never had a good opportunity or a good project to prove himself. There is no place to show his martial arts, which really makes him very depressed. .

"Head, good news, good news!" Just as Su Leqing was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows and meditating, a very excited voice came from outside.

"Brother Xiao, what's the rush?" Su Leqing smiled lightly as he saw the person coming.

The person who came was Xiao Xianhong, a doctoral student of Professor Fang Jianrui. Su Leqing wanted to establish Qingyue Architectural Design Institute, so naturally he couldn't be alone, so he found Fang Jianrui, who had a half-teacher friendship with him, and wanted Professor Fang to recommend him. Individuals, and Xiao Xianhong was one of the people recommended by Fang Jianrui.

For Xiao Xianhong, Su Leqing still had an impression of him. He was brilliant, but he was a little arrogant. Fortunately, Su Leqing was famous at that time, and he was no less than some older generation of architects. So for Su Leqing, Xiao Xianhong was still convinced.

"Just now, Huawei announced that it is preparing to establish a new headquarters in Dongguan and invites bids for global design units. Huawei's new headquarters is located in the north of Huanhu Road in the south of Songshan Lake, Dongguan City. They are 6.05 hectares, 38.39 hectares, 21.88 hectares and 60.34 hectares respectively, and it is said that Huawei budgeted 10 billion yuan to build this new terminal headquarters." Xiao Xianhong said excitedly.

"Really?!" Su Leqing shouted in surprise.

He remembered that Huawei did build a new headquarters in Dongguan. To be honest, according to the general requirements, that headquarters is not bad, but compared with Apple's headquarters, it looks a lot paler.

Because that design only highly restored the buildings and towns of twelve famous European cities, namely Oxford, Windermere, Luxembourg, Bruges, Fribourg, Burgundy, Verona, Paris, Granada, Bologna , Heidelberg, Kronov.

However, as a Chinese technology giant, Huawei's headquarters is a copy of European buildings, and it does not have the sense of technology of Apple, so I have to say that it is very disappointing.

Su Leqing didn't know when Huawei designed the bidding before, so he didn't think about it for a while. Now that he heard what Xiao Xianhong said, he immediately knew that his chance had come.

A project of 10 billion is a fatal temptation for any designer, but for Su Leqing, this will be the last hurdle for him to embark on the road of master.

PS: I saw some people saying that I was going to be unfinished. To be honest, I did have the idea of ​​unfinished. Before that, I wanted to win the Pritzker Architecture Prize directly and then end it. After all, this book does not have much royalties, and The things I design are becoming more and more high-end. I need to conceive this kind of design, so that you will think it is very powerful, but it will not feel very fantasy, so this requires me to find a lot of information, but it will definitely be more difficult in the future. But after thinking about it, everyone knows that I'm going to be unfinished, so I don't have any face, so I didn't plan to unfinished, and I designed this last design properly, and then ended it. In this way, no one should Say I'm screwed.
