Chapter 823 Success and Fame
Except for students with other purposes, other students are basically busy with classes all week long and have no time to care about other things.
When Huo Yan was in school, he was only a little relaxed at the beginning of the term, but he became busy afterwards.
The students here have a particularly strong ability to get started. If the scores are calculated based on the test papers, Huo Yan will have no problem.
But most of the classes here are practical, which makes Huo Yan a little difficult.
In the past, students in China all had this weakness: they were good at talking and talking on paper, but when it came to actually making things, their abilities were far behind others.
The first architectural model class went very well, and Huo Yan got another B. It seemed that this girl had been skirting the line and just barely passed.
No matter how hard she tried in the first semester, she only got Bs. There was not a single B+ or B-, which was quite average.
During the holidays, Huo Yan followed Professor Ente to help run errands, observing how others did it and how they prepared before and after class.
During this time, I had the honor to go to France with Professor Ente to participate in a symposium with the world's top architectural masters. Although the whole process was in French, which made it difficult for her to understand, she still learned a lot.
S.JK is a very famous contemporary architect, and his masterpieces are well-known around the world.
Before meeting these architectural masters, Huo Yan was wondering what kind of talented people could design top-notch works like the Burj Al Arab in Dubai and the Sydney Opera House in Australia?
They must all have their own unusual ways of thinking and life experiences.
Before a mature work comes into being, it must have been created by the designer after going through the precipitation and baptism of life.
A successful work must have intriguing background and meaning.
On the day of meeting Mr. S.JK, Huo Yan was impressed by the master's demeanor.
You would think that a master who has reached the pinnacle of architectural design must be indifferent and dismissive of others.
But the Mr. S.JK that Huo Yan met did not have any airs at all.
He took the initiative to shake hands with everyone at the symposium. Even someone like her, who was not even a designer assistant and was at most a small role running errands to get information, Mr. S.JK shook hands with her in a friendly manner, which made Huo Yan very flattered.
Many masters attended the symposium, and it was at this meeting that she learned how famous Professor Ente, who brought her there, was.
Do you remember the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center that collapsed during the 9/11 attacks in the United States?
That was the world's coolest tallest building, which was shot down by an airplane. Ten years later, the new World Trade Center was built, and Huo Yan's mentor professor was one of the people who participated in the design of the new World Trade Center.
This shocked Huo Yan. Any professor hiding in various universities in New York was so eye-popping.
Look at these low-key and introverted master architects, and then look at yourself?
What does she have?
Compared with these people, my previous design works are simply child's play.
At first, she thought she was doing pretty well, but now she realizes that she was just making small moves in Kyoto at best.
As a person, you should be low-key.
After returning to the United States from France, Huo Yan began to calm down, looked at a large number of design works, accumulated certain knowledge and practical skills, and obtained the recognition of Professor Ente.
She became the only Chinese assistant in Ente Architectural Design Studio.
Professor Ente's studio is very large, more spacious than that of an ordinary construction company.
You have to know that in a place like Manhattan where land prices are comparable to gold, it is extremely difficult to own your own studio and laboratory.
Moreover, the annual salary of professors at Columbia University is only 50,000 to 60,000 US dollars, so Professor Ente is a very well-off person, but he is still so low-key.
Looking at the talents from various countries in the studios and laboratories, after a deeper understanding, I realized that there are indeed many aristocratic men among them, and two of them are from European royal families. This made Huo Yan's eyes light up.
Royal family?
She cried out in her heart and thanked life for allowing her to meet a real prince in her lifetime!
After staying in the studio for a while, my curiosity gradually faded, and when I looked back at my colleagues who I thought were so cool, my mindset changed again.
When you see someone behind their back, you will think, well, it turns out that noble sons and royal descendants are just like that.
Still a human being, someone who needs to eat and drink just like her.
Huo Yan moved out of the school dormitory in the second semester and shared a house near the studio.
Huo Yan still had a lot of courses in the second semester and was busy every day. Sometimes she envied Juanzi and Ruixue who had already found boyfriends.
But looking at myself again, I still concentrate on learning my own things.
There are many students who study hard in the first semester abroad, but there are fewer who continue to study as usual in the second semester and do not hang out on various dating websites, activities, dances, etc.
In the third semester, haha, those who are still persisting are the elites and talents.
Professor Ente was also very pleased that he had not misjudged this little girl.
Professor Ente had seen Huo Yan's design work. The reason he gave her all Bs in the first semester was to deliberately suppress her arrogance.
In Mr. Ente's eyes, Huo Yan is still too young. Young people are bound to be impetuous. If you give her too much trust, she will easily become complacent. This is the case for even the most simple and unpretentious children.
Mr. Ente has taught many international students, including children from poor families. They were very serious and focused on their studies at the beginning, but later they became lax. It's understandable that people are young and can be dazzled by the flowers.
Huo Yan persevered and after obtaining a master's degree in advanced architectural design from Columbia University, he officially became a designer in Mr. Ente's studio.
Huo Yan was only 24 years old when her first formal work came out.
It is a theater building with a very unique structure and shape. It was built in New Zealand and was originally named "Ivory Tower".
But later on, for some reason, it was changed to "rhinoceros horn", which is more popular and easier to remember.
The Rhino Horn Building helped Huo Yan win the title of the youngest female architect and the first Chinese female architect to win the B·W International Architecture and Structure Award.
This award made her famous overnight and enabled her to join the ranks of world masters.
After the Rhino Horn Building, Huo Yan designed a modern palace for the Danish Princess and a solemn and sacred government building in Belgium.
After the three works came out one after another, she transformed herself into a true female architect.
At the same time, while his own works were being published, he also participated in the design of global buildings such as "The World's First Building" and "The World's First Continent".
Of course, that was just a name. Her design style was too flamboyant and unique, far different from others.
