Rebirth to 80s: Daughter-in-law is a Bit Spicy

The American Institute of Architects Award, established in 1907, is a lifetime achievement award awarded to architects.

Every year, it selects an individual who has contributed to the construction industry on a global scale, regardless of whether he is alive or not, as long as he is recognized by the board of directors, he will be awarded a "gold award."

For each gold medal winner, his name will be chiseled on a granite wall in the lobby of the American Institute of Architects headquarters in Washington!

AIA was first founded in 1907, but Pritzker's first awards were presented in 1979. AIA was 72 years earlier than Pritzker! However, it has not been 10 years since the Pritzker Award was awarded, and it has swept the architectural circle with very sharp and precise selection criteria...The younger brother who just debuted wants to seize the C position, and the big brother AIA is a bit painful. Everyone is in the United States. AIA does not mean face?

One thing about Pritzker is very positive, is that its awards are forward-looking.

Those who can win the Pritzker Architecture Award are naturally contemporary masters, but when they win the award, their career is not at their peak.

In other words, after winning the award, there are still better works coming out, which will amaze the architecture circle. Pritzker is too good at picking it, too forward-looking!

AIA may be uncomfortable.

Isn't Pritzker forward-looking?

Then let's be more forward-looking!

So there was an attempt at the AIA Supernova Architecture Award for architects under 28 years of age.

After all, it is AIA. Its influence in the global architecture circle is still very large. Its actions like this are enough to attract the attention of the international architecture field.

An architect under 28?

As Kissinger said, it is already very good for people under 28 to get rid of the messenger status in a large office!

New architects at this age may have independent works, but there are obviously not too many independent works that are very eye-catching.

AIA was originally a very tolerant architectural award. The "Gold Award" does not necessarily have to be awarded to Americans. Now this "Supernova Architecture Award" for new architects under the age of 28 is naturally the same.

As long as someone declares.

As long as it is reviewed by the board of directors.

Kissinger thinks this award is a bit interesting, it's not as good as the AIA Gold Award, so no one dislikes winning too many awards, right?

"Xia Xiaolan from GMP New York office won the first AIA Supernova Award for Architecture——"

Who would refuse this honor?

Kissinger directly applied for Xia Xiaolan's theater renovation project.

He didn't have time to tell Xia Xiaolan that with Kissinger's character, it was indeed impossible to show off before the matter was settled.

He wanted to wait for Xia Xiaolan to be shortlisted, and then tell her the news, and at the same time despise her stupid behavior of rejecting the invitation of the GMP firm without hesitation-see, if it weren't for GMP, you, a Chinese student, could have the opportunity to take it. Such an international award?

Mr. Kissinger's careful thought, Xia Xiaolan can see through it at a glance.

She didn't think Kissinger was bad. A good GMP senior partner was forced to be like this by her. It was really embarrassing.

But something went wrong.

Kissinger's show off turned into anger.

This is not only Xia Xiaolan lost the opportunity to win, but also the GMP New York office is to be laughed at!

"...So, as the vice chairman of the jury for the AIA Supernova Architecture Award, Dawson Mond rejected my work as a shortlist because the project was not completed by me independently?"

"Yes, he thinks that GMP is cheating in the application. The theater renovation project is actually led by Lisa. You are just an insignificant intern!"

How could Dawson have trouble with an intern?

This word came out of Dawson's mouth, and no one would doubt it.

Dawson also just said casually: I went to Broadway with my daughter once, and I happened to enter the theater that was being renovated. I had a conversation with the architect Lisa. It was a great design...

Huh?

The refurbishment of the theater directly became Lisa's work!

Xia Xiaolan became an intern who helped Lisa.

GMP pushed an intern out to run for the first AIA Supernova Architect. It was a very stupid behavior. It was the unrealistic GMP New York office that wanted to compete for this honor. It was the intern Xia Xiaolan who cooperated with the firm... In short, Mond Dao Sen said that, Xia Xiaolan was directly disqualified from the selection.

Even if no finalists are eligible, how can they win prizes?

According to Kissinger's idea, rounding up, it is Mond Dawson that has eliminated the AIA Supernova Architect award!

Xia Xiaolan grasped the important point, "GMP won't just leave it alone, right? The award now becomes secondary. With such vague accusations, the reputation of the GMP New York office has been damaged. Lisa, Lisa is What's the reaction?"

Kissinger sneered:

"Lisa acquiesced that the theater renovation was her design. Although she could not run for the'AIA Supernova Architect' because of her age, she now has her own masterpiece. After I talked to her, Lisa chose to resign from GMP. I thought I threatened Lisa and made her wronged-I heard that Mond said in private that it was difficult to understand GMP's choice, and that talented architects should not be buried. He wanted to invite Lisa to Dawson's studio!"

It turned out to be so.

It makes sense all at once.

"No, it's not that Lisa was invited by Mond after GMP's resignation. It was Mond's invitation first. It was because Lisa wanted to change jobs and did so."

Mond’s move didn’t take much effort. He only needed to provide Lisa with a position to exclude Xia Xiaolan from the AIA Supernova Architect selection.

Both Xia Xiaolan and GMP are hard to say, but they are not clear. Now the architectural circle has been preconceived, thinking that GMP is going to be a supernova architect, and then said that the theater renovation is Xia Xiaolan's project.

Xia Xiaolan wanted to prove that she was too difficult.

Mond tied GMP and Xia Xiaolan together, and GMP lost the credibility of the testimony.

One is Lisa, an architect who has been in the business for many years, and the other is an undergraduate from Cornell University. It is self-evident who led the project.

Xia Xiaolan doesn't have that qualification!

The only proof that she has the qualifications is to specify that she must accept the entrustment of the client, it is Mrs. Wilson... Mrs. Wilson is afraid that she would be unlucky, and it would be nice not to step on her feet severely.

This is really ridiculous, even if the design drawings were drawn by Xia Xiaolan, what's the use?

Lisa can still say that Xia Xiaolan is an assistant, isn't it normal for the assistant to draw pictures.

For a large project, there is not just one architect involved, all need a team. Under normal circumstances, a well-known architect leads a team to complete a project, the honor is still the well-known architect, although other people have done a lot of trivial work, it is impossible to jump out and say that the credit is their own--no point out. The industry does not recognize it.

Just like this, if Lisa jumped out and said that the project is self-directed and Xia Xiaolan was an assistant, it would be very ridiculous. GMP could kill Lisa.

However, it was revealed by Mond Dawson, or during the selection of "AIA Supernova Architects". The timing and occasion were chosen too well.

Xia Xiaolan was angrily laughed:

"A Pritzker Architecture Prize winner is so small, it doesn't matter if he won't be awarded. He spilled this pot of sewage on me, so that I will not be able to get involved in the international architecture circle in the future!"
