Chronicle Studio has been responsible for the design of seven skyscrapers, three of which are abroad.
In the studio, there were four of the chief designer Xiao Jun's apprentices who were able to hold their own.
Ye Qing navigated to the Zhangjiang High-Tech Park in Pudong New Area. After two laps, he saw a geometric building like a big Rubik's cube, standing on the side of the green belt.
This is the office building of Chronicle Studio, with a total of 54 pieces, each square independent of each other. It is said that it only took two days to build this building.
Ye Qing just stepped into the sci-fi Rubik's cube building, and the chief designer Xiao Jun, who was waiting on the side, got up from the sofa and came over to give Ye Qing a big hug.
"Haha ~ Mr. Ye, the fame of your Monster Heavy Industries is well-known even in our architectural design industry, which has nothing to do with the industry." Designer Xiao Jun patted Ye Qing's arm and said enthusiastically, "Now the architecture is talking about your company's Mechanical Colossus Type I."
"Mr. Xiao is a permanent international honorary member of the Royal Institute of Architects. He is more famous than us."
"It's all empty titles. It's not as valuable as Mr. Ye's Mechanical Colossus Type I." Designer Xiao Jun led Ye Qing upstairs and told the secretary not to let others disturb him during this period.
Xiao Jun's office is very distinctive. The decoration inside is full of ancient elements. Even the office computer is disguised as a bark board.
"Mr. Ye, I heard that you want to build a ninety-nine-story skyscraper?" Xiao Jun took out two unearthed ceramic cups from a shelf made of hollowed out obsidian. While making tea, he said in admiration, "A skyscraper that is more than four hundred meters tall, the cost of construction is over ten billion. Mr. Ye is really generous."
"It's all face work." Ye Qing smiled and took out the USB flash drive from his bag and put it on his desk. "This is the appearance of the building I designed myself. You can take a look at it and see where it is lacking."
Xiao Jun opened the three-dimensional model in the USB flash drive with the computer and looked at it for a moment, then clicked on the desk.
A pure black curtain wall slowly hung down from the glass window behind. Without the natural light, the office suddenly became dark. Then, two projectors flipped over from the ceiling on the east side.
Two projectors projected the image onto the opposite glass wall. Even without the 3D glasses, the image presented was very three-dimensional.
It was a skyscraper that towered over the horizon, seemingly piercing through the clouds.
This was a four-sided building with a rhombus structure. From top to bottom, the first impression it gave was that it was slim, and the second impression was that it was slender.
Many commercial buildings liked to build a large and tall base at the bottom to serve as a business district.
This building did not have one. Xiao Jun admired them to death. They built a building in the center of Zhongyun City that had the most commercial value, but they did not build a business district.
The shape of the building was also admirable. This building had a total of 46 sections, and each section was a quadrangular rhombus. The top of the building was made up of three rhombuses. Therefore, no matter how one looked at it, they would feel that the building was facing them.
Every four-sided diamond was fitted with a silver-white metal frame.
These silver-white metal frames not only played an aesthetic role, but also played the role of fixing the glass curtain wall. From the three-dimensional renderings, these silver-white metal frames cleverly inlaid the glass curtain wall. From a distance, it looked like a slender diamond-shaped sapphire, inlaid with an alloy frame full of artistic and sci-fi flavor.
"It's a very spiritual design. The whole building is so simple that there is nothing superfluous. There is no advertising curtain wall or transmission tower, but..."
Xiao Jun rotated the building through the control panel and looked around carefully. He was not sure: "The design of these silver-white hollow metal strips is very eye-catching, but the size is so huge. Can it be processed?"
"No problem."
"I dare say that just for this shape, it can win the Luban Award." Xiao Jun still had something to say. The more unique the shape, the more difficult the construction, especially the construction of the main and secondary beams.
In the design of a skyscraper, the reason why it was difficult to be original was mainly that the appearance of the building designed by the designer had to compromise with the wind speed.
Just like the shape of an airplane, the design was basically the same mold. This was the case for the third-generation aircraft and the fourth-generation aircraft.
Because the most suitable aerodynamic shape was turned over and over again.
The wind blowing over the surface of the building would produce a load, and then a vortex shedding phenomenon on both sides of the building.
From Xiao Jun's professional point of view, the shape design of this building was very bold.
It was theoretically feasible to use a polygonal design to break up the vortex.
However, the damper of such a building had to be re-designed, and a 1: 500 model of the building had to be made and sent to the wind tunnel laboratory to simulate the actual wind situation of the building.
"The wind tunnel experiment can be done in Shanghai. It just so happens that our studio has a 278-meter-tall building that will be blown into the wind tunnel in three days. I will ask the studio to work overtime to make a model of your building and send it into the wind tunnel together."
Xiao Jun took a sip of tea: "Only when we get the detailed parameters can our studio start the design of the damper of the building. Before that, we can first design the drainage system and the air conditioning system. "
"I recommend you the powerful superconducting water cycle air conditioner, which is the one at the last exhibition. It saves a lot of electricity than similar products."
Ye Qing nodded. The cooling effect of the air conditioner also left a deep impression on him. Although there was a scandal of the support falling off due to resonance, it was not a defect of the product itself. It was a coincidence.
This kind of metal coincidence was impossible for Ye Qing to exist.
There were only three-dimensional drawings in the USB drive, the design of the private living area on the top floor of the building, and the space that Ye Qing needed to reserve for the installation of the building's technology equipment.
The discussion went on for two hours, and then it entered the most important moment.
Discussing the price.
Design institutes or studios charged by square meters.
According to the level and technical difficulty, the price per square meter varied greatly.
Skyscrapers belonged to the type with higher technical difficulty. Designer Xiao Jun held a teacup and walked back and forth for a long time. He wanted to open his mouth several times, but he scratched his head embarrassedly.
"One hundred!" In the end, Xiao Jun put down the teacup and explained to Ye Qing: "This price includes a full set of construction drawings, wind tunnel testing costs, and unlimited free modifications."
The total construction area of the Monster Industries building was more than one million square meters. According to the design cost of one hundred per square meter, the final design cost had already exceeded 100 million.
This price sounded terrifying at first. The design cost of a building could exceed 100 million, which was more money than robbery.
The market was like this. Some design institutes were responsible for the design of terminals and high-speed rail stations, and the price per square meter could reach 500.
In addition to the great reputation of Xiao Jun and the Chronicle Studio, the design of the structure of a building and the construction plan only charged one hundred per square meter, which was quite good.
What's more, they also sent a free construction wind tunnel test.
"Then I wish us a happy cooperation!" Ye Qing reached out his hand and said that he accepted the price.
"When this building was built, it was also the moment when the reputation of our Chronicle Studio went up a level." After taking a fierce order, Xiao Jun was very excited: "Mr. Ye, only your Monster Heavy Industries has the ability to use high-corrosion and high-toughness alloy steel to build the support frame of the building."
