Chapter 855 Dreams come true
Chapter 855 Dreams come true
Huo Yan had experience in giving academic lectures, but that was abroad. He had also given one at Columbia University.
But now that I’m back in Kyoto, the feeling and meaning of giving lectures are different. Before going on stage, I felt like my throat was choking when I spoke, probably because I was nervous.
The presentation was prepared last night, with only minor revisions. I've done it before, so I didn't prepare much this time. The biggest difference is that it will be presented in Mandarin.
The lecture was held in the Great Hall of Kyoto University. It was packed with people. The corridors and aisles were full of people. Except for the leadership seats in the first and second rows, the seats behind were basically crowded with people, and many seats had two people sitting on top of each other.
Huo Yan took a look on the stage, feeling a bit of a headache, and said as he stood on the stage:
"This won't work, students. It's too dangerous. Can we split into two groups? The lecture is about two hours long. Let's do it again at 4:30, okay? Are all the teachers here? Teacher Hu? Teacher Wang?"
Huo Yan spoke as she looked at the people in the audience, her eyes searching for her teacher in the crowd. Her aura was relaxed and tense, and she had the demeanor of a great man.
Only at times like this can you see the changes in this girl.
She remained calm and composed in the face of danger, and her gentle and peaceful smile revealed an overwhelming power. No one could help but take a second look at her.
His clothes were not very particular, but he looked very refined. Wherever he stood, his whole body seemed to be shining with gold.
The school leaders responded very positively. They immediately called the class teachers and separated the students from the four grades. There were really too many people. The huge auditorium that could accommodate thousands of people looked like it was being squeezed out of human meat.
After the head teacher asked the class committee to count the people, one class after another left the auditorium, and there were not many empty seats left.
Because many students from the two grades were squeezed outside before, now there are seats, and the auditorium is full again when they come in.
Huo Yan's impression of the country is that there are too many people, too many, very many.
It would be impossible to have so many people attending a lecture at a foreign university. Of course, it was probably because the teacher had organized it, which gave her enough face.
Huo Yan talked about modern architecture and the scene of his first class when he went to Columbia University. He also threw questions from his mentor to the students and opened the lecture with what is modern architecture.
Huo Yan talked about her more representative works in several stages in recent years. She did produce many good works during college, but the most important one was her graduation project that year.
She said that her graduation project was her first successful work, which brought her glory, opened the door to her design career, and allowed her to go further and further on the road of design.
When we talk about the design of that time now, we will be more objective, more rational, and have a neutral perspective as an observer.
"The work we create at every stage of our lives is incredibly meaningful. For example, my graduation project, Eden at Sea, is available in pictures. It's now complete, but it's a private park closed to the public, so you can only see the pictures. Fellow students, please take a look at the design from that time. Whether it's the style, the colors, the functional systems, or the meaning, every aspect exudes a girlish feeling. Doesn't it feel like a dream?"
She said, "I am very honored that my dream has come true..."
Huo Yan briefly explained the original idea, which was indeed a girl's dream. The villa on the island was a real fairy tale. The glazed palace, crystal palace, etc. inside were things that could only appear in a fairy tale world.
However, everyone's thoughts are different at different times.
She will not deny her original design techniques, design ideas and immature works just because she is now mature and has a broader vision. Those are also of great personal significance.
As she said, she was grateful that her ex-husband made her dream come true, which was the first milestone in her career.
She has been persisting on this path, and when explaining her design works, she also promotes the spirit of perseverance and conveys positive energy.
Her current representative work is "Rhino Horn Building", so the entire lecture focuses on this work.
From the design concept, design techniques, style, color, materials, etc., everything is described in great detail.
Of course, the achievements and awards received were only mentioned in one sentence.
However, what caused the most sensation were the international awards she won for her words.
Finally, I briefly talked about my recent works. The Royal Palace can be regarded as another masterpiece after the Rhino Horn Building.
Because it is a royal palace, due to the royal family's requirements, the publicity efforts are weaker than previous works, but after the building was completed, it still attracted attention from the industry.
Zhuang Zhoucheng was also in the auditorium. Just like every time she received an award, he sat quietly in the back, the most easily overlooked position, looking at the radiant woman, her confidence, her calmness, and her ease in controlling the atmosphere and rhythm of the scene.
There were no embarrassing moments or accidents during the two-hour process.
So dazzling, so charming.
Huo Yan said that in addition to his own works, he also had to mention modern design, elements, trends, and technology, which will be the direction of innovation in the construction industry.
After the lecture ended and there was a fifteen-minute break, the second group of people came in one after another.
Huo Yan subconsciously touched his throat. Only then did he truly realize how difficult it was to be a teacher. It was so damaging to his throat.
He kept drinking water and couldn't go to the bathroom because there were so many students outside. Huo Yan walked to the door, then turned back, scared.
As soon as she stood up, a leader came forward and asked:
"Do you need anything?"
Huo Yan quickly shook his head and said with a smile:
"Just look at how many students are still sitting down. Make sure you pay attention to safety."
When the leader heard this, he immediately called the class teachers together, counted the number of people, and asked them to enter quickly.
Huo Yan felt a little at a loss as to what to do, which made her feel quite embarrassed.
After another lecture, it was almost seven o'clock, almost time for dinner.
At the end of the meeting, the school leaders immediately asked the teacher to take Huo Yan out for dinner and booked a table at Haiyue Restaurant, which made Huo Yan even more embarrassed.
She hadn't thought about the reception that would follow, and she felt uncomfortable all over.
Some important leaders, leaders of the Department of Architecture, and Huo Yan’s two teachers were waiting for the car at the main gate.
If you count them carefully, there are more than twenty people, and each one of them is indispensable. They treat Huo Yan as a first-class VIP guest of Kyoto University.
Huo Yan was talking to the head teacher and Teacher Hu.
Although the teacher also teaches this aspect, his knowledge has always remained at that level. He is still very curious and asked Huo Yan about things like current architectural technology.
As they were chatting idly, Zhuang Zhoucheng pulled the child and walked over through the crowd.
