Seeing the attendance of one official staff after another, people's expressions gradually changed.

Minister of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, Deputy Secretary-General, Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, Deputy Director of the Research Office, Mayor and Deputy Mayor of Beiqi City...

Many of these people are rare in normal times, and they are also occasions related to major national events when they meet.

But now, they appeared at this awards ceremony.

What all this shows is self-evident.

Some reporters began to stir up trouble: Who is Lu Zi'an? Is there really anyone on it?

Industry insiders who came to watch the awards on the spot were becoming more and more worried.

Is Lu Zian's sudden emergence a good or bad thing for the Chinese architectural world?

They don't know until everything is clear.

They only knew that Lu Zian was not as harmless as he showed.

"Brother Zi'an..." Chen Mange whispered with the slightly leaning back: "You didn't tell me that there would be so many big guys coming..."

God knows that she was really a little scared. The people who could only see on TV before appeared in front of her, and her calves were trembling.

“…In fact, I only know it now.”

Chen Mange remained skeptical about this.

At this time, the host invited Vice Premier Li to the stage to speak, and she quickly applauded with the crowd.

The tide of applause rang out, and then quickly calmed down.

Vice Premier Li walked slowly to the front of the stage in a decent suit and delivered a speech with a smile.

Flashes came one after another, and Lu Zi'an listened with a smile.

"The Pritzker Architecture Award Ceremony was held in China, which is a full recognition of the achievements of China's architectural achievements by the international architectural community.

Architecture is the carrier of history and culture, showing the image of a city and a country.

Architecture must have both local style and national characteristics, and fully absorb the world's advanced concepts and technologies, so that it can have long-term vitality.

Strengthening exchanges and cooperation between China and the world's architectural design industry will help promote the exchange and integration of East and West architectural cultures, promote the continuous development of world architectural civilization, and create a better living environment..."

Although they are all speeches in general, there are few words that are rare.

Although his speech was a little too long, no one felt bored.

On the contrary, because Vice Premier Li said that he would increase his investment in the construction industry in the future, all the designers in the construction industry were in agitation.

What is a prize for one time?

Just as Vice Premier Li said, what they want is the future!

Lu Zian was just a start, and they would step forward at his pace. Next time, the one who stood on this podium might be one of them!

"I found a problem." Chen Mange whispered: "Boss is still a big guy, and this chicken soup is indeed much more professional than others."

He glanced at her sideways with a smile. Lu Zi'an's lips did not move, and he lowered his voice and said, "Naughty."

It just so happened that Vice Premier Li had finished his speech. They applauded with the people, but no one noticed their little interaction.

But it is just that the award ceremony that is highly anticipated is impossible to be too simple.

In addition to Vice Premier Li, there are also Mayor of Beiya City, Lord Palumbo, Chairman of the Pritzker Architectural Awards Evaluation Committee, Hyatt Group, and Hyatt Foundation Chairman Pritzker delivered speeches one after another.

After all the people finished speaking, Chen Mange became spiritual: "Is it going to present an award?"

"Yeah, it should be."

It was not until this time that Lu Zian finally felt a little nervous.

The award ceremony was hosted by the Municipal Government Foreign Office, Municipal Planning Commission and Hyatt Foundation. A total of nearly 500 officials, experts, scholars and architecture enthusiasts from China and foreign countries were invited to participate, including 7 past winners. This is also the award ceremony with the largest number of past winners in the history of the award.

Lu Zian knew that as soon as he turned around, he could see the dark heads behind him.

However, as the award presenter called out his name in an excited and depressing tone, he stood up with a smile.

"The emergence of Lu Zi'an proves that the soil of Chinese culture has nurtured extraordinary creativity. For hundreds of years, Chinese culture has been harmoniously integrated with nature, and Lu Zi'an's works reflect this." The award presenter smiled and showed Lu Zi'an's design works on the big screen to the world: "Lu Zi'an's works are integrated into the traditional Chinese technical mechanisms. This is an unprecedented magical creativity. We have never thought that such innovation can appear in such avant-garde design works. This is a bold breakthrough and a new type of thinking impact on the construction industry..."

After some praise, Lu Zian had already walked in front of him.

"I feel very honored to be able to present awards to such an excellent designer." He carefully raised the medal high.

Lu Zian lowered his head slightly and politely waited for the medal to hang on his neck.

There was a wave of applause from the audience, wave after wave.

He felt like a boat, pushed to the forefront.

"Next, please invite the winner Mr. Lu Zi'an Lu to give his speech on the award."

Under the guidance of the guest, Lu Zian took a step forward slightly.

He smiled and the applause gradually subsided.

Standing on the stage, there was a dark underneath, and Lu Zian could hardly see their faces clearly, but this still put a little pressure on him.

He opened his mouth and felt his heart sinking.

What does that feel like?

It's like a harbor filled with wind, thousands of words are blocked in my heart and my heart is hard to open.

“Dear Vice Premier Li, Mr. and Mrs. Pritzker, Dear Earl Palumbo and all members of the judges, Dear guests present:

Hello everyone."

The applause rang again, and people all had blessing smiles on their faces.

"It feels somewhat unexpected to me to win this award..."

Lu Zian wanted to laugh, but he couldn't.

"Before this, I was just a carpenter. All the foundation I had started with a carpenter. It is precisely because of my background that the architectural design concepts of me and many people were completely different." Lu Zian took a deep breath, and the original speech was wiped out at this time.

He felt a fire burning in his chest, making him feel hot all over.

"Many people do design and do whatever they want, but they never consider what impact this will have on our city.

There are ancient roads, but there are tall buildings standing on both sides. The feeling of being out of place destroys the overall beauty.

My design philosophy has always been: to return to nature, real Chinese architecture!

...

A famous architect, Mr. Wang, once asked the world: In this country where there were only craftsmen but no architects, there were profound civilization conflicts.

This requires architects not only as technical professionals, but also to have a broader vision, more thoughtful thinking, and clearer values ​​and beliefs.

All my architectural designs are related to this kind of thinking and this kind of problem.

How can an architect with craftsman skills survive today?

Faced with huge artificial creations, what is the significance of the great traditional Chinese landscape system today?

In the modern city-making movement that spreads urban and rural areas, if there is no large-scale demolition and construction, how should urban buildings develop?

If traditions have been demolished to the ground, how can new urban buildings accept the memories of history and life in the ruins and re-establish the identity of cultural identity?

In China's profound urban-rural conflict, what efforts can architecture use to resolve this conflict?

Facing the top-down professional system of architecture, is it possible that ordinary people can have power and space for bottom-up construction activities?

Faced with severe environmental and ecological problems, can we find a smarter way from traditional and folk construction?

Starting from the life around you and your personal real feelings, how to build a non-fiction, non-symbolic, non-shining, non-signature expression of architectural culture?

How to adhere to an independent architect's working attitude and method in a strong modern system?”

A long string of rhetorical questions made all the designers present blush.

Before this, they had never considered these factors.

What should be considered in architecture?

They pay more attention to the sense of design, and today's sense of design is generally reflected in its sense of space.

The stranger the shape, the more unexpected the common sense they are, the more they yearn for.

However, few people will start from the concept of architecture and truly consider whether it is suitable for the city and how to integrate it into the city.

“His words often reply to my mind, but I will use my actions to explain my ideas to him!

He often said that every time he designed a building, he was not just designing a building, but designing a world full of diversity and differences, and moving towards a path to return to nature. I deeply agree.

This is the question I was thinking about when I learned that I won the award, and it is also my eyes that stretched out to the future!"
