You can see the documentary of the architect's soul, and I will watch it again and again.

Mr. Lu Kang has few works, and he is stubborn in communicating with clients. The contrast between Mr. Pei's works is more tolerant and patient, and the contrast is strong, but they have the same goal. I believe that their hearts are the same. Adhere to the artist's ideal without compromise, so that it can win the trust of the client, it is a perfect relationship between the architect and the client, Mr. Bei admits that he does not have it, but the road has it, and the same as the architect's background, they are all or The heart is an artist, but the price of an artist can be paid by some but not by others.

Lu and his younger son once drew a music hall boat, which was assembled with the prototypes of biscuit toys. Later, Lu met a musician client and perfectly realized the musician boat. Twenty years later, the musician still In using him, still admiring its perfection, there can be no better design even if every detail is the best. This can really be said to be the friendship of Boya Ziqi.

There is also the building on the other side of the Nepal River in India. It seems to float on the water from the river. It is really wonderful. When interviewing the citizens who walk here all the year round, their admiration for architects has not changed over time. That is I really liked it. When interviewing a local architect, he learned that this was the last ten minutes of Lu's documentary, and he was so emotional that he held back tears, protesting that you can't treat Lu's building like this, and neglect its greatness, because that junior Every time I come here, I can feel the spirit of Qiwei and Lu.

Another architect said his first architectural work was a tribute to the road.

There is also the person in charge of Philadelphia's urban planning. The old man is still facing the camera and the road in his mind is still on the bar. It is the rational plan that he did not give way and put into practice, but in his honest and rational struggle, you can Seeing his whole-hearted trust in Lu at first, and the fact that after parting ways, he still didn't underestimate Lu's design.

The best footnote in Lu's life is probably his death. He died in the train station that was tossing around the design site. He was really designed to die. He erased the address bar of his passport, making it impossible for the world to confirm his identity. What does a movement represent? Lu has three partners who have given birth to three children for him, but he can never seem to find a home and convert. He is always on the road, on the road of his design. We don't need to feel sorry for such an ending, maybe we should envy his purity and happiness.

My Architect quotes

  • Louis Kahn: A work of art... is not a living thing... that walks or runs. But the making of a life. That which gives you a reaction. To some it is the wonder of man's fingers. To some it is the wonder of the mind. To some it is the wonder of technique. And to some it is how real it is. To some, how transcendent it is. Like the 5th Symphony, it presents itself with a feeling that you know it, if you have heard it once. And you look for it, and though you know it you must hear it again. Though you know it you must see it again. Truly, a work of art is one that tells us that Nature cannot make what man can make.

  • Louis Kahn: When you want to give something presence, you have to consult nature. And there is where design comes in. If you think of brick, for instance, you say to brick, "What do you want, brick?" And brick says to you, "I like an arch." And if you say to brick, "Look, arches are expensive, and I can use a concrete lintel over you. What do you think of that, brick?" brick says, "I like an arch."

    [Students laugh]

    Louis Kahn: And it's important, you see, that you honor the material that you use. You don't bandy it around as though you said, "Well, we have a lot of material around. We can do it one way, we can do it another." It's not true. You can only do it if you honor the brick, and glorify the brick, instead of just shortchanging it.
