Chapter 417： shortlisted
The third update today, please recommend, please subscribe.
Tuesday, December 10.
This is just an ordinary day, no awards ceremony, no high-profile movie release, and no crazy gossip, but this day ended because of the third round of public voting for the reconstruction of the World Trade Center building in New York. Much attention.
At 0:00 on October 10th, the public voting for the ten finalist designs of the bidding competition officially opened: at 12:00 on December 9th, the voting officially closed after two months.
More than 15 million American citizens voted before and after, and the voting results will be officially announced at 9:00 this morning.
At the press conference where reporters gathered, the other nine shortlisted candidates all arrived at the scene, but Evan Bell, the focus of everyone's attention, was missing. Everyone is speculating about the reason for Evan-Bell's absence, and there are different opinions. Those who think more deeply, such as Sean Hall, he is guessing that Evan Bell has a conflict with the New York City government and becomes the first person to be discarded among the top ten: the more normal thinking, such as William Wood , he thought that Evan Bell should have returned to the "Pirates of the Caribbean" crew, so he couldn't be there. However, this is after all the focus of widespread social concern, not an entertainment event, so the reporters are just curious, and will not cause an uproar because of Evan-Bell's absence.
Who would have thought that at nine o'clock, Evan Bell was walking on the campus of MIT, walking unhurriedly on the way to find Teddy Bell. And when the mayor of New York City announced the final vote results, the Bell brothers were on their way back to New York from Boston.
By the time the Bell brothers returned to No. 11 Princes Street, it was almost noon.
There were several reporters cruising at the door of No. 11 Prince Street. Because they couldn't get in touch with the two Bell brothers, they wanted to come over and contain Catherine Bell to see if they could find some clues. However, Catherine Bell seemed to be busy. Although the door of Eleven Design was open, she never showed up. In fact, the reporters were lucky because the Bell Brothers' familiar BMW 66 pulled into the parking lot behind 10 Princes Street. Before the reporters surrounded them, they saw the Bell brothers talking and laughing and walking out.
"Evan, what do you think about being shortlisted for the final round?"
"Evan, the American people have given the highest evaluation to your design, how are you feeling?"
"Evan, what do you think if your blueprint is selected last?"
"Evan...Evan...Evan..."
A group of reporters was like a big bad wolf who saw a little sheep, and they rushed over in a swarm. There were only five or six reporters, but they forced out a lot of dust and smoke, as if thousands of troops were sprinting. Before the person arrived, the sound had already surrounded him.
"Stop, stop, stop!" Evan Yibel stopped several reporters from moving, but fortunately there were only six reporters, otherwise the scene would be uncontrollable. "Who can explain to me what happened? ?"
The reporters looked at each other, but looking at the expressions of the two Bell brothers, they were really confused. This is an oolong, everyone is acting in vain here, and the parties involved have no self-consciousness at all.
"Evan, today is the day when the bidding results of the design drawings for the reconstruction of the World Trade Building are announced." A reporter kindly reminded.
Di Yibel patted his head, "I just said that there is an important thing today, and I have been thinking about telling you, but I forgot." The two brothers forgot to check the notepad while they were talking. Teddy Bell thought he had said everything that should be said, but he forgot the most important one.
Evan-Bell was not too surprised, he just said with a smile, "I've been too busy recently, so I forgot about this." Well, the reporter was still speculating about the reason for Evan-Bell's absence from the press conference. People simply forgot. I wonder if the mayor of New York City will play the game of changing dragons when he hears this answer.
"What was the result of the bidding meeting, and who won?" Anwen Yibel asked with great interest.
The reporters looked at each other again. Looking at Evan Bell's expression, this expression is more of inquiry and curiosity. As for the so-called expectation, I searched over and over again, but saw no signs.
"Evan, don't you think you have a chance to win?" a reporter asked.
Evan Bell glanced at Teddy Bell, and the two brothers couldn't help but smile, "Am I asking for the result?"
Being ridiculed by Evan Bell, the reporters felt that there was no interest, as if the suspense had been broken. "You entered the final runoff. Congratulations." Then, the reporters' congratulations rang out. stand up.
Although Evan-Bell is confident in his own design, who can say with 100% certainty about the public opinion? Therefore, Evan-Bell was a little surprised when he heard that his work actually entered the final election. Teddy Bell immediately gave his brother a hug, "Bei, congratulations." Unlike the scattered congratulations from reporters, Teddy Bell's words were simple and simple... The joy in the words was much deeper.
At this moment, seeing the bright smile on Evan Bell's face, the reporters felt a little better. If Evan Bell had been so calm, the reporter would not be able to move. Now that the Bell brothers are also very happy with the result, the reporters' enthusiasm has been mobilized again.
Under the explanations of the reporters, the situation in which the voting results were announced in the morning was restored little by little.
After some polite remarks, the mayor of New York City also briefly explained the final result of the bidding meeting: "The works shortlisted for the final public selection this time have been widely recognized by the citizens.
However, since this reconstruction work requires not only the approval of experts, but also the approval of the citizens, it also needs the support of finance, urban planning, and other aspects to be implemented..." In short, the top ten are selected by experts and the citizens vote. After the last two works are selected, the New York City government will weigh them and select the final winning bid. "So, as a result of the public vote this time, the last two works will be selected, and we will discuss with the author of the design drawings. At the same time, it also accepted suggestions from the citizens, revised the design drawings, and selected the final design before the arrival of 2003. "In other words, two works are selected for confrontation today. In the last month of 2002, the design drawings will be revised and evaluated according to the wishes and opinions of the citizens, and the most suitable New World Trade Building in New York will be finally selected. Design drawings.
Hearing this, Evan Bell knew that it was tricky. In the past life, the final selected design was in the so-called "citizen proposal", and the New York City government made many unnecessary modifications to achieve political goals. This led to the fact that the original designer of the design drawing was given an overhead right, and the design drawing was greatly changed to build a "brand new" [Freedom] Tower. In fact, the last month was not so much about continuing to revise the design drawings as it was a focus of the city government's political goals and the midterm elections of political parties. Otherwise, it would take another month to evaluate the last two. After screening by experts and voting by the public, the final design can be released today.
Thinking of this, Evan Yi Bell couldn't help but feel helpless. He was capable of designing such a blueprint as "〖Freedom Tower No. 3", but he was incapable of confronting the political needs of a country. After all, it was a state machine. It is the center of various interests.
After some explanations, the mayor of New York City announced the final results. In the vote of the 15 million American people, Evan Bell's "Freedom Tower Three" won 20% One vote, won the first place with a strong advantage, and won the title of the most favorite design drawings of the American people.
The one who won the second place was not the "Freedom Tower No. 1" in Evan Bell's memory, but another dark horse "Independence Tower". The "Independence Tower" selected by the famous "Skidmore, Merrill and Owings Architects (ll, OM Architects in Chicago received 16% of the votes and also won the the hearts of many Americans.
m Architectural Design Office is one of the largest architect and engineer firms in the United States. It is known as the "thinker" in the architectural planning and design industry. This time they have two works in the top ten, one is Daniel Libeskind The "〖Freedom〗 Tower No. 1" and the "Independence Tower" designed by David Childs shows the strength of m architectural design firm.
In the end, Evan Bell's "Freedom Tower Three" and David Childs' "Independence Tower" became the two sides in the runoff also made the media boil again. As a rising star in the architectural design world, Evan Bell brings surprises time and time again. Especially in this vote, the names of the designers were not announced. The American people simply voted based on the design drawings, design concepts, and design instructions, and did not know who the designers belonged to. Evan Bell’s "〖Freedom〗 Tower No. 3" won the championship with an advantage of five percentage points over the second place, which is a supreme affirmation of Evan-Bell's strength.
No wonder today's reporters were so excited, as if they had taken high-stimulants.
After figuring out the ins and outs of the matter, Evan Bell gave a meaningful smile, making the reporters confused. Others don't know, but Evan-Bell does. It is estimated that the New York City government finally made such a move because they were worried that they would be too aggressive and would not be willing to compromise. They had to revise the design by themselves. just opt out. Then the New York City government will lose face. So, in fact, the choice of "Independence Tower" may be just in case.
Although Evan-Bell thinks this way is a bit self-flattering, and it can only be said to be guessing, but Evan-Bell can't help but feel that things are getting more and more interesting.
The outbreak is still going on, and there will be an update later, please subscribe. ! .
