Chapter 758： grand building
"I mean, there's a new project here, so you should join in too." Richard Wendy had to repeat his words when he saw Evan Bell's surprised look.
"What project? I've been very busy recently, and I don't have time. It is estimated that I will have to wait after August. When will the project be submitted?" Evan Bell didn't even think about it, he just told the truth. If other students are faced with this kind of project that can participate in the bidding, it is natural to ask for it, but Evan Bell's reaction, although somewhat unexpected, is not surprising to Richard Wendy.
"No! This project will be bid in August. You have to submit the first draft at the beginning of July at the latest, and the final draft will be released before the end of July." Richard Wendy is usually a mild-mannered son, but in fact, he is stubborn. Hearing Evan - Bell's words, he said directly without even thinking about it.
"July? It's so fast, how can there be enough time!" Evan Bell is not a master who is easy to give in, so he pushed back directly.
"It's only in March, and I'm doing a design in four months. You haven't struggled for so long with your graduation project!" Richard Wendy knew this disciple best. In fact, if Evan Bell was willing to concentrate on the design, he would A month or two is enough. The most important thing is the issue of creativity and ideas. As long as the creativity and framework are determined, the actual design time does not need to be so long. Evan Bell's graduation project has been delayed for a long time, or because he is not doing his job, there are too many things, just simply calculate the time for his graduation project, which is only two weeks.
Evan Bell couldn't help laughing bitterly. Didn't this force him to focus on this inexplicable and unexpected design recently. "Richard, I've been really busy lately, and I know that I never talk nonsense. What is the project, and why is it so unplanned?"
Generally speaking, for a large project, it is normal to collect design proposals eight months in advance and one year in advance. For example, the "Freedom Tower" was tendered for more than a year in advance; for example, the main stadium of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games was tendered nine months in advance, and the construction of the "Bird's Nest", which finally won the bid at the end of last year, has already started.
Although there are still five months before the August bidding, which logically is within the normal range, it is still a little urgent after all.
Richard Wendy sighed, "You think I don't know that you are busy, and watching those media can't wait to broadcast you live twenty-four hours a day, every second, how could I not know. Your recent affairs If it’s not so urgent, just push it back a little ten days and a half months, I think you can calm down and do this project, which is at most a month’s time.”
Evan Bell is really busy recently, and the recording of "Mysterious Skin" and the album is enough for him to toss, but these are not so urgent, and it is indeed possible to delay a little bit, including the script adaptation of "Brokeback Mountain". .
Originally, when Evan Bell went back to school this time, he planned to be busy with school while doing the later stages of "Mysterious Skin". Just returned from Muller-Lance, Evan Bell intends to work on the thesis first and then revise it recently, so if Richard Wendy attaches so much importance to this project, it will not conflict with Evan Bell's original plan. .
"What kind of project is it? It seems that you value it very much." Evan Bell couldn't help but get serious, and didn't talk about it any more.
"Actually, this project was announced at the beginning of February. The first batch of submissions was in mid-July and the deadline was early August. The bidding date has not yet been set, but it will definitely not be in September. I also wanted you to try it before. But it’s okay if you’re too busy. After all, you need to look at opportunities when you are engaged in architectural design. If you miss this time, there will be another time.” Richard Wendy briefly explained the matter, “But let’s go It should be the second or third week of the week, which is the few days after the Oscars. The organizing committee of this project called me to ask if the program selected by Harvard this time has your design in it, and they would like to see it. your design."
Evan Bell's identity as an architectural designer is not currently affiliated with any architectural firm, but is still classified under the name of Harvard University, so it is understandable for the other party to call Richard Wendy. It's just that Evan Bell can't help but wonder. In the architectural design industry, his only work is the "Freedom Tower". Although it is well-known all over the world, it is definitely not enough to invite others by phone.
Richard Wendy saw Evan Bell's slightly raised brows and knew his suspicions, "Hehe, if you know who the decision maker of this project is, you won't be wondering why they specifically mentioned you. ."
"Who?" Evan Bell turned around in his head, but he really didn't think of a special person.
"Dubai government." Richard Wendy didn't give a shit, and gave the answer directly. "This project has also been approved by the vice president of the United Arab Emirates and the new emirate of Dubai."
When it comes to Dubai, you will think of the oil kingdom with an inch of land and a lot of money, the world's first seven-star hotel, and the world's tallest building, the Burj Khalifa. Before the rebirth of Evan Bell, Dubai became synonymous with luxury. . When young people joke, they will even say that Dubai is surrounded by deserts of gold.
In the 1950s, Dubai was still a simple seaside town on the Arabian Gulf. After the 1990s, Dubai has undergone a reborn change. Row upon row of skyscrapers rise miraculously on the River Hall, making people feel as if they are in New York. Like most cities in the Middle East, Dubai is rich in oil, but oil certainly isn't everything for a new city with big ambitions to make a splash. As a result, Dubai has vigorously developed tourism. Due to its high-quality environment and rich and colorful culture, tourists to Dubai are always dominated by models, artists, businessmen and other high-income groups.
The seven-star sailing hotel put into use in 1999, as well as the world's largest shopping mall and the world's largest indoor ski resort, have gradually made Dubai a world-famous tourist destination.
Richard Wendy said that this project was initiated by the Dubai government and approved by the new sheikh of Dubai, which shows that this project is no less concerned than the "Freedom Tower" before, and because of Dubai's special environment , I am afraid that this project should attract the attention of the world.
Evan Bell naturally thought of the world's first building, the Burj Khalifa!
Dubai has long been the epitome of the economic boom of emerging cities in the Gulf region. In the past century, some cities in North America and Asia have experienced economic prosperity, and the Gulf region, which is a popular economic development in the Middle East in the 21st century, is eager to show its success and vitality to the world. Skyscrapers are one of the ways to show it.
Rejecting the ordinary Dubai government, they came up with a plan for the Burj Khalifa complex. They plan to build one of the tallest buildings in the world. At present, the world's famous high-rise buildings include the Empire State Building in New York, the Jin Mao Tower in Shanghai, and the Sears Tower in Chicago. , Kuala Lumpur's Petronas Twin Towers, and the Freedom Tower, which has just started construction, will also stand up. The current tallest building is the 452-meter Petronas Twin Towers. Therefore, Dubai, which is eager to build a world landmark xìng building, proposed a plan to build the Burj Khalifa.
The Burj Khalifa is only the central building, and also includes the surrounding 500 acres (200 hectares) of use space, and the investment is expected to be as high as 20 billion US dollars!
If Evan Bell remembers correctly, the Burj Khalifa in the last lifetime finally reached a height of 2,716 feet (828 meters), making it the first building in human history to exceed a height of 800 meters. Also included in the Guinness Book of World Records. Evan Bell knew that the entire development had enormous commercial value and that the Burj Khalifa was in the annals of history, but the real value of Burj Khalifa was that it was the "biggest urban promotion" Dubai could come up with.
The Burj Khalifa can also be seen as an advertising business promotion plan, taking the construction of the Burj Khalifa as an opportunity to spread the name of the city of Dubai all over the world. In fact, this project costing more than 20 billion US dollars, although the Dubai government took on a huge debt during the economic crisis in 2009, the government finally came over and successfully promoted this promotion to the world.
If the greater significance of the Freedom Tower lies in its commemorative value and symbolic significance, then the greatest significance of the Burj Khalifa lies in its commercial value. It is a landmark building established in the eyes of all people around the world!
Of course, Richard Wendy still does not have enough understanding of the far-reaching significance of the Burj Khalifa project, because the height of the Burj Khalifa building, including the surrounding development plans, were all confirmed by the Burj Khalifa design, and the entire team discussed it together. The result was a massive business plan But Richard Wendy knew that this was a project that was highly recognized by the United Arab Emirates and should not be underestimated.
And Dubai would want Evan Bell to join the project, and the reason couldn't be clearer: as long as Evan Bell participates in the bidding, they can hype, and whether or not Evan Bell wins the bid in the end, they can use the Today Evan-Bell operates with global influence. After all, in the architectural designer industry, there are only a handful of designers who have such a huge influence like Evan Bell. Even Ieoh Ming Pei and other design masters cannot resist Evan Bell's comprehensive Popularity.
"I think this is a very good opportunity. Apart from other external factors, this time Dubai is bidding for the entire project planning, not only the main building, but also the design of the entire park's architectural planning, which is regarded as a building complex. It's definitely a challenge for you." But not every architect has the honor to challenge the design of a building complex, just like designing a garden, this is a much larger project, similar to designing a building. more difficult and complicated than.
After Richard Wendy finished speaking, he pointed to the workbench next to him and smiled, "This time, I am also going to participate in the bidding."
No wonder Evan Bell was not allowed to see it just now...! .
"What project? I've been very busy recently, and I don't have time. It is estimated that I will have to wait after August. When will the project be submitted?"
