Chapter 477 The design draft of the three buildings
Han Xuan was still suspicious of what happened at night.
I always felt that it was true, all the details were like seeing it with my own eyes, and I didn't say much to the doctor, so I made up my mind to go home and jump into the sea and try again.
Armed with a variety of vitamins and trace elements, he left under the caring words of Dean Friedman and flew north in a helicopter.
The Gambo Sea Ranch is on the south side and is now flying in the direction of San Francisco.
He happened to be here, and he was going to see the blueprints of his own buildings, and what they were looking like, when he had just finished calling Director Merrill of SOM Architects.
Large-scale engineering design drawings, the production cycle is calculated on an annual basis, I know that I haven't done it yet, but I'm anxious, and I finally helped Brother Lan Lan finish brainwashing and get a "building protection talisman".
But I'm still a little worried, what if the little brothers who pull the lamp don't know the World Trade Center and hit their own building......
And Iron Man's Stark Tower and Hope Tower, also known as the Candle in the Wind Tower, can already be put on the agenda, and construction will begin when the design is completed.
SOM Architects is located at 335 Powell Street near Union Square, San Francisco.
Han Xuan borrowed the apron on the roof of the Hilton Hotel, and after asking the hotel waiter, he learned that it was only two streets away from the SOM office, and he didn't need to rent a car, just use it.
It's past eight o'clock, which happens to be the rush hour for work.
Countless people wrap themselves in cheap suits, sandwiches or hot dogs with cheese in their hands, and rush to settle breakfast problems.
The proximity to Silicon Valley and the economic development of the city have led to more job opportunities, and everyone who comes here feels like they can be reborn in San Francisco.
But they can't, they can only be themselves.
Whether you like it or not, that's what it is......
The black sign of SOM Design Office stands out, and Han Xuan and his bodyguards sit in the 24-hour convenience store across from it, eating butter chicken breast sandwiches made in their food processing factory.
The store is under construction with a Starbucks sign.
The clerk waited for the arrival of the shift change time, stayed up all night, in a trance, and didn't recognize Han Xuan, from the conversation between the French-born bodyguard Garjanon and him, he could hear that the business of this store was not bad.
There are six tables in the lounge area, and several Indian guests who have come to travel are resting on the tables because they have not found a hotel to save money.
It's not racial discrimination, the smell on their bodies is really not very good, causing Han Xuan to lose his appetite after eating half of it, and quietly waiting for the arrival of nine o'clock.
With the lazy nature of the designers, no one is sure to be there now, and the host is not ready, but the guests come early to disturb them, which in itself is also an impolite behavior.
The sos convenience store, which is very stylishly decorated, has the smell of bread and hot dogs in the air, which is ruined by the curry smell of these Indians.
I managed to stay up until nine o'clock, looked at the floor-to-ceiling windows to see what I was wearing, and crossed the street into the five-story building of SOM Office.
When he pushed the door open, Han Xuan smelled the art......
More than 20 design workbenches are placed in the spacious hall.
The designer is in charge of the design, and the assistant is helping to build the model, and before the advent of 3D printing technology, the production can only be done completely by hand.
One of the models is particularly conspicuous, a few meters long and wide, which contains the entire Manhattan building, and others, such as the Empire State Building, are relatively simple to make.
It used to be a landmark, but now, no one looks at it anymore.
A golden spiral tower, two empire buildings tall, stands abruptly over the city buildings of Manhattan Island.
Even if you want to look somewhere else, your eyes will be attracted to it unconsciously.
Next to the model plate, there was a short young man.
When he saw Han Xuan coming in, he immediately bent down, put his hands on his legs, and said in English with a Japanese flavor: "Hello, I'm Junno Ishigami, and I like your books very much." ”
"Hello, did you do this?"
"No, there are others to help.
Hear Mr. Merrill say that this spiral building is your brainchild, and there are two other buildings, which are really ...... It's great!
I just graduated from the Department of Architecture at Tokyo University of the Arts, and I came to the United States to study, and my English is not very good. ”
"That's pretty good, you're from Tokyo?"
"No, Sapporo, Hokkaido, what's wrong?"
"I want to travel, but it's hot in Tokyo." Han Xuan smiled evilly.
"Hot?"
Junno Ishigami bowed his head slightly, showing respect, and stood with his legs side by side, standing straight, not knowing what this sentence meant, "Summer in Tokyo is indeed hot, and the maximum can exceed 35 degrees Celsius.
If you want to travel, you can go to Hokkaido, and now we are holding a snow festival in Sapporo, and the snow festival is ......."
"No need to explain, I know what it means, what about Mr. Merrill?"
"He's on the second floor, please come with me.
Our SOM Architectural Design Firm has not received other orders recently, and we are busy with your three buildings.
Among them, the first draft of the design of the Marvel Stark Tower has been completed and is in the final revision stage, and the simulation construction is about to be carried out to test the sturdiness. ”
Junno Ishigami led the way in front, walked to the staircase, stretched out his hand to signal Han Xuan to go up, and bent down again: "Sorry, I still have work to do, just go upstairs and enter through the door on the left." ”
"Okay."
When he left, George looked at Junno Ishigami's back, "Why does he like to bend over so much?" ”
"That's the custom, I spend more than 10 million dollars, of course I will be polite to my employer." Han Xuan replied to him.
The design cost of the SOS Spiral Tower was $8 million, the Stark Tower was $2.7 million, and the Candle in the Wind Tower was $4.5 million, for a total of $15.2 million.
Typical three years do not open, open for three years.
This is still a discounted price, and SOM Architects wanted these buildings to bring glory, and after a meeting of partners across the United States, they directly waived 30% of the design fee, otherwise it would be more than $20 million.
They will be busy until the whole building is completed, and they will also take a certain amount of money when they build it, about 3% of the total cost.
Director Merrill was holding a meeting with the employees, and his assistant Owings, who I saw last time, was also here, and when he saw Han Xuan coming in, he hurriedly strode over: "Good morning, it's coming so soon!" ”
"Just around the corner, you continue to be busy, I'll wait here."
"It's okay, it's fine.
You see, those two are the first drafts of the Stark Building and the Candle in the Wind Building, what do you think? ”
Han Xuan walked to the front of the two model plates.
Stark Mansion is more like the previous Disney and is ready to be incense. The one built in the Iron Man theme park in Hong Kong.
On the other side, the golden four towers form a whole complex, Han Xuan reached out and touched it, metallic texture, this thing is really not good for handmade models.
On the wall behind the model disk, there are also two imaginary drawings made by computers.
On the Stark Building, the scene of Iron Man flying out of it was depicted, and Han Xuan understood that this was done by Director Merrill for himself.
After looking at it carefully, he asked, "Can it be built with the current engineering technology?" ”
"These two are fine, the SOS spiral building is a bit difficult.
The engineer has not yet done a good job of simulating the rotation angle of the spiral building, and you said before that you are not in a hurry, so the resources have been concentrated on these two buildings recently.
Japan Mori Building Co., Ltd., a few years ago, bought a piece of land in Lujiazui, Shanghai, China, and announced in the first half of the year that it would build a 492-meter World Financial Building.
Recently, they heard that the plan was delayed, and they were ready to raise it higher. ”
"More than my building?"
“…… Of course not, they don't have that much money to invest and intend to go beyond 550 meters.
The first thing that could be done was the Stark Tower.
Its shape has not changed much from the previous building, and it should be finished before Christmas. ”
"Okay, let's get the news out to the media and get this Stark Tower blueprint out there.
I'm going to start construction next year and build it in downtown Los Angeles......"
