This underground maze and the setting of the entertainment area could be considered a combination of carrot and stick.
The entertainment district was a soft approach. They would think of ways to lure the employees to the entertainment district so that they would be caught up in all kinds of fun things, so that they would forget to go back to work.
If the entertainment area was on the side of the transportation hub, the employees would definitely pass through the entertainment area and be tempted by all kinds of things.
However, he could not rule out some special circumstances. For example, what if the employees drove to and from work?
As Tengda's headquarters building, it was impossible not to build a parking lot.
Pei Qian's attitude was not only to build a parking lot, but also to build a lot!
After all, the parking lot was not office space. The more parking spaces and the bigger the size, the more money would be spent.
Moreover, the investment in parking spaces was basically a waste of money. He could not miss such a good thing.
However, if the employees drove to work and went upstairs directly from the underground parking lot, wouldn't the design be a waste?
What's more, Tengda's benefits were so good, and there were so many underground parking spaces. There must be many employees driving to and from work.
That was why Pei Qian came up with such a solution.
Liang Qingfan also recorded this point seriously.
At the same time, as Boss Pei's requirements increased, a brand new design prototype began to appear in his mind.
Pei Qian thought for a moment and added. "There's one last point. We have to divide the building into different areas. On the basis of the existing holidays, each area will arrange additional holidays regularly."
"However …"
"This division has to be reasonable, do you understand what I mean?"
Pei Qian felt that Tengda's employees still had too few holidays.
The System was quite strict in giving holidays. Otherwise, Pei Qian would have changed Tengda's working hours to two days a week and five days off.
However, within a certain limit, holidays could still be adjusted.
For example, give employees two more days of paid annual leave, or find a reason to take a day or two off during special holidays. It would not be a problem.
Pei Qian wondered if he could use this building as an excuse to think of a way to get more holidays from the System.
These holidays had to be long-term and institutionalized. It would be more valuable than temporary holidays.
Liang Qingfan quickly recorded it down. After a moment of silence, he said, "Boss Pei, according to your requirements, my previous three plans are completely not in line …"
"It's no different from redoing it."
"However, don't worry, Boss Pei. I suddenly had a general idea!"
"There's a style that's especially suitable for your requirements."
Pei Qian was very happy. "Oh? What style? "
Liang Qingfan said, "The Taiji Diagram."
As he spoke, he drew a simple sketch and explained it to Pei Qian.
"Boss Pei, look. The Taiji Symbol is a circle with the Eight Trigrams around it. In terms of floor area, the circular floor area is the largest, which is very much in line with your request to flatten the building. "
"At the same time, the work area and the entertainment area are separated, but the two areas have to be in contact as much as possible. This is very consistent with the black and white structure of the Taiji diagram. White is Yang, which is the work area. Black is Yin, which is the entertainment area. "
"The trigrams around the Taiji diagram can also correspond to the eight directions according to the specific trigrams."
"These divinations can be seen as the eight entrances to the building. Four of them correspond to the work area, while the other four correspond to the entertainment area. The four entrances to the entertainment district happen to be on the side of the transportation hub, so employees have priority access. "
"The S-shaped arc in the middle can maximize the contact between the work area and the entertainment area. The two yin-yang fish eyes can be designed as elevators. The one in the work area is a regular elevator, and the one in the entertainment area is a sightseeing elevator."
"At the same time, this S-shaped arc can also be used as an atrium, just like in many shopping malls, connecting from the bottom to the top. On one hand, you can see the different floors. On the other hand, you can increase the lighting, so that the interior of the building is more illuminated. "
Pei Qian tried to imagine the shape of the building.
If he looked down from above, it should be a huge Taiji Symbol. What's more, there would be a clear separation at the boundary between Yin and Yang. It would be like a crack used to increase the lighting inside the building.
Liang Qingfan continued, "Boss Pei, as for what you said: it's convenient to go to the entertainment area, but it's more troublesome to return to the work area.
"First, at the center of the entire Taiji Symbol, where the waist of the yin-yang fish meets and the center of the atrium area, we will make a landscape waterfall and divide the entire floor."
"After that, we will make the arc of the yin-yang fish's head into two connected areas. We will arrange the gates and escalators in this place."
"But regardless of whether it's a gate or an escalator, it's a one-way street. From the work area to the entertainment area, you have to take the gate to the same floor. From the entertainment area to the work area, you can't take the gate. You can only take the escalator to the next floor."
"The escalator connects the yin-yang fish of different levels. It also symbolizes the harmony of Yin and Yang and the endless cycle of life.
"This way, it would be very easy to go from the work area to the entertainment area. However, it would be more troublesome to return to your original workstation."
Pei Qian continued to think hard.
Make a landscape waterfall in the middle. It would be like the city's circular island diversion vehicle, leading everyone to the yin-yang fish's head.
From the work area to the entertainment area, you could go directly through the gates to the same floor. However, from the entertainment area to the work area, you would have to take the escalator. You could only go up or down.
In other words, it would be easy to go to the entertainment area, but you could not go back.
Hmm, that sounded good.
Liang Qingfan focused his gaze on the underground area of the building. "As for the parking lot … according to the previous plan, the traffic hub and the main road are close to the entertainment area. Therefore, the normal parking lot is below the entertainment area. After parking here, you can directly take the elevator to the entertainment area. It would be more convenient.
"The lower part of the work area would be transformed into an underground maze. After parking, employees would have to enter the maze to find the elevator in the work area."
Pei Qian nodded slightly. This was very much in line with his previous expectations.
Liang Qingfan continued, "As for Boss Pei's suggestion of dividing the building into several areas, I also have a preliminary idea."
"According to the position of the Eight Trigrams, we can divide the twenty-four solar terms.
"These twenty-four solar terms can divide the entire Tai Chi diagram into twenty-four small fan shapes."
"Of course, according to this division, half of the solar terms will fall on the entertainment area. These solar terms can not be on holiday, but they can also be transferred to the work area. The specific arrangements are up to you, Boss Pei."
At this point, Pei Qian said without hesitation, "Of course, we have to transfer the solar terms in the entertainment area to the work area. That way, everyone would have two solar terms each year, and the interval between them would be exactly half a year."
There were twenty-four solar terms a year. Every solar term, one-twelfth of the employees in the building would be on holiday?
That was awesome!
Just the number 24 alone made Pei Qian very happy. He felt that it had exceeded his expectations.
The most important thing was that this setting could be related to the traditional solar terms. It could also be related to the building in the shape of the Tai Chi diagram.
That way, the possibility of convincing the system would be greatly increased. After all, this was promoting and inheriting traditional culture so that every employee could benefit from traditional culture.
Pei Qian nodded slightly after listening to Liang Qingfan's new plan.
"Yes, this plan is more in line with my requirements.
"However … I have two small problems here, or rather, suggestions.
"First, the entrances that are located around the building, representing the eight directions. From an overhead view, they should be squarish. Even if their height cannot reach the height of the main building, they should not be too short.
"If these eight buildings are only used as entrances, it would obviously be a little empty. We have to think about what else we can use them for other than office purposes.
"Second is … the Tai Chi diagram and the Eight Trigrams. It might be more in line with the concept of traditional culture, but it feels like it is suppressing something …
"Isn't it a little strange?"
Pei Qian could not wait for this building to suppress his luck a little and make the entire Tengda's luck a little worse. That way, the difficulty of incurring losses should plummet.
However, he was afraid that it would be like what Liang Qingfan said. Yin and Yang would be balanced and endless, and it would directly condense luck. Wouldn't it be a scam then?
Pei Qian might believe in science but he had to consider metaphysical factors sometimes.
Liang Qingfan nodded. "Yes, Boss Pei, what you said makes sense.
"The first question is about the use of the surrounding buildings. I have to go back and think about it carefully. However, don't worry, Boss Pei. Tengda's headquarters is so large and can carry many functions. I will definitely be able to think of additional uses for these eight entrances after straightening out the functional divisions of the entire building.
"As for the second question, you don't have to worry about it.
"I definitely won't just throw a Tai Chi diagram on it. As an architect, I will try to add some technological and modern elements to the appearance while retaining the Tai Chi elements in the general structure and layout, so that traditional and modern elements can be combined."
"In other words, this building will definitely not give off an old-fashioned and old-fashioned feeling on the outside. It will be a very beautiful, modern building with a rich sense of technology.
"Perhaps only when you look down from above would you realize that it is actually a standard Tai Chi diagram.
"I think this can also show Tengda's philosophy to a certain extent: the integration of traditional culture and modern technology. It will not be conservative and refuse to change, but it will not blindly throw away tradition and lose itself. "
Pei Qian nodded. "Yes, alright. Let's improve this plan.
"The main thing is how the internal divisions should be, how many floors should the building be built, how large the area should be, how much the overall price should be … and so on."
Liang Qingfan nodded. "Alright, Boss Pei. I'll go and refine the plan now!
