After the completion of Guanghua Building, the tower part will be an office area, and the central connector of the tower will be a data reading and exhibition area; the podiums on the east and west sides will be reception, conference, and teaching areas, each with separate entrances and exits, and each part will be connected into one. They are independent and can be divided or combined.
In addition, on the premise of meeting the functions of office, teaching, conference, reception and other functions, the design of Guanghua Building also considers the setting up of more communication and leisure spaces.
First, Li Zexuan designed a two-story shared space on the second to third floors in the middle. Go up the large steps from the main entrance and enter the shared space, extending the dignified, solemn and rigorous academic spirit to the indoors, with a large scale and magnificent momentum.
Then he designed an atrium in the middle of the fourth to sixth floors of the central main building, with a semicircular glass ceiling on top for lighting. The skylight and cloud shadows linger, reflecting the desire for close contact with nature in high-rise buildings. There is an inner courtyard on the roof of the podium building on the east side, and a roof garden on the podium building on the west side.
Many people may think that it is impossible to build such a tall building using ancient construction techniques. In fact, this is not the case.
Never underestimate the wisdom of the ancients. According to historical records, the earliest "skyscraper" in the history of our country was built by Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty.
In 115 BC, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty built the "Shenming Platform" in the Jianzhang Palace in Chang'an, the capital city, which was more than fifty feet high (one foot in the Western Han Dynasty is about a little more than two meters today). , a copper "dew plate" with a circumference of one foot and seven feet, on which an immortal holding a jade cup is cast.
In 109 BC, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty built the "Tongtian Tower" in Ganquan Palace, which was said to be more than 100 feet high.
But this is not the highest, or it is "watery" in terms of numbers. By the beginning of the 6th century AD, Emperor Xiaoming of the Later Wei Dynasty built the Yongning Temple in Luoyang, the capital, which included a nine-story pagoda with a height of ninety feet;
The height of this tower is called "one hundred feet", which is an exaggeration. According to archaeologists' research, it should be 137 meters today, but it is still higher than the tallest existing wooden tower in Yingxian County, Shanxi Province (67 meters) in my country. It is twice as tall as today's 40-story high-rise buildings. It is the greatest pagoda in ancient my country, the tallest building in ancient my country (and probably the world), and the well-deserved first "skyscraper".
Therefore, never underestimate the ancients. Some ancient architectural arts amaze even modern people.
Besides, in order to enhance the stability of the building, Li Zexuan plans to spend the next few days studying cement! If he could study it, it would be foolproof. If he couldn't study it and think of other methods, he wouldn't believe that even with the two masters of construction, Yan Lide and Yan Liben, they couldn't build a ten-story building!
The second object that Li Zexuan wanted to plagiarize was the Red Building, the administrative building of Sichuan University. This can be regarded as the most famous building among all universities in modern China. He planned to transform the Red Building into a library for the Yanhuang Academy in the future. For students to read books.
The Red Building is used as the administrative building of Sichuan University. It is an antique-style building with Chinese characteristics. The eaves are carved and elegant, and the red columns and blue bricks complement each other. It is a fusion of foreign culture and local culture.
The building adopts a three-section Western classical composition pattern in the vertical and horizontal sections to construct the middle part of the building. It uses a large number of Chinese classical elements such as the double eaves and gable-shaped roof of traditional Chinese architecture, ancient Chinese auspicious patterns, and traditional Chinese red beams and columns. The overall architectural shape is thick and dignified, the composition is well-proportioned, and the solid appearance of the platform forms a solemn and elegant style.
Judging from the appearance, it can be said that the style is completely different from the Soviet-style buildings that were popular at the time, such as the Science Building of Sichuan University, which was built at about the same time. In addition to looking like a palace from the front, it is similar to the new Chinese-style building at West China University. Viewed from a high place, the entire building looks like a large airplane, so some people call it the "airplane building."
Many people once said that the designer of the Red Mansion was Mr. Liang Sicheng, a famous architect. However, this statement can only be found in the recollections of Wang Rui, then general manager of the local state-owned construction company in Chengdu, and there is no official official written record. It was later confirmed that the designer of the Red Building was Mr. Gu.
However, judging from the majestic overall architectural style and the exposed traditional Chinese elements, it does have some flavor of beam architecture.
Next is the Beigong Building of Peking University. Li Zexuan plans to use this building as the auditorium of Yanhuang Academy.
The modern Beigong Building faces east and west, located on the east-west central axis of the original Yanjing University. It is a magnificent palace-style building. It is now the office of the party and government organs of Peking University. The splendid auditorium on the second floor can accommodate 600 people. The school Important meetings and foreign dignitaries visiting Peking University to deliver speeches are all held here.
There are teaching buildings, office buildings, libraries, and auditoriums. Compared with a complete university, it only lacks laboratory buildings, dormitory buildings, canteens, bathhouses, and some supporting facilities.
Experimental building... With the existing material conditions of the Tang Dynasty, there are not many experiments that can be done. Li Zexuan just planned to build a random building. He drew the drawings for a long time and already had some knowledge about architecture. If you have a certain understanding, it is still possible to design a building by yourself.
As for dormitories, cafeterias and bathhouses, they are mainly used for sleeping, eating and bathing. There is no need to build them in a fancy way. In the past universities, no university deliberately built dormitory buildings, cafeterias and bathhouses to be outstanding. Basically They are all similar, so this one also depends on his improvisation.
In addition, he also designed some distinctive and smaller buildings, which were reserved for future use. Of course, in order to keep up with the schedule, these buildings will not be built immediately. The most important ones at the moment are teaching buildings, dormitories, Canteen and bathhouse.
After finishing the main architectural drawings of Yanhuang Academy, Li Zexuan began to draw the macro layout of the entire academy. How could supporting facilities such as sports fields, groves, ponds, rockeries, gardens, etc. be missing?
Under the rapid sketching of the pencil in Li Zexuan's hand, the blueprint of Yanhuang Academy was officially formed. Looking at the half-foot-high drawings stacked in front of him, Li Zexuan took a long breath. No one could have imagined that it only took him less than an afternoon to complete it. He could draw such a large academy at the speed of a humanoid printer.
"Squeak~!"
"Ms. sir, you've been tired all afternoon, it's time to eat! My father and mother are waiting in the front hall~!"
At this moment, the door was pushed open and Han Yuxi walked in. She looked at Li Zexuan and said with a distressed look on her face.
"Well~! It's already night~! Let's go~! Let's go eat~! What delicious food did the lady cook tonight~!"
Li Zexuan stood up, took one last look at the layout of the academy, then took Han Yuxi's little hand and went out, but he always felt that something was missing!
