Chapter 1952: : Faintly feeling bad (2 more)
United States.
AIA headquarters.
When receiving Xia Xiaolan's personal complaint and protest, AIA didn't pay attention to it. It was more of an anger.
Is a Chinese student questioning AIA's judgment?
What gives the Chinese students the courage, is it Kissinger, a partner of the GMP New York office?
So they notified Mond Dawson.
If the Chinese students and Kissinger want to make things worse, AIA will not be afraid of embezzling other people's designs. It is not AIA who is embarrassed. Kissinger will only lose face if he refuses to admit his mistakes.
Of course, out of caution, AIA asked Mond about this to confirm Lisa's response to the lawsuit.
Lisa is naturally confident, insisting that it is her own work and will not compromise with the "thief", and firmly believes that the justice will give her a fair judgment.
When you get angry, AIA ignored this letter of protest.
AIA is very busy, since it has already decided to go to court, then wait for the court to pronounce its verdict.
But only two days later, AIA received a second letter of complaint and protest.
This letter is much heavier than the first letter-it actually came from the Cornell School of Architecture, and the joint protest letter headed by Professor McCarthy spit out AIA.
The letter stated that AIA's judgment seriously affected Xia Xiaolan's personal reputation and caused damage to the reputation of the Cornell School of Architecture. It requested AIA to withdraw its rash judgment and apologize for it.
Huh? !
What the hell.
The personal reputation of the Chinese students is fine, and it can barely be justified. Although AIA does not think that a Chinese student can have much reputation, it has caused a loss to the reputation of the Cornell School of Architecture?
"Is this a Cornell student?"
"Worked as an exchange student at Cornell School of Architecture for a year."
So, just an exchange student, the Cornell School of Architecture is crazy!
Every year, many students will graduate from Cornell University. Under the aura of prestigious schools, there will still be people who choose to commit crimes. Is it true that every time the school has to stand up and support its students?
So what is the difference between this Chinese student?
The AIA headquarters feels something is wrong.
People checked it and found that although Xia Xiaolan was an exchange student who only spent one year at Cornell School of Architecture, she was not unknown during this year.
She is a student who can deal with the strangest and toughest professors.
Other students can only ask for an A, she got an A+ in the same class!
She led the group to participate in the CW Architectural Design Competition jointly held by the School of Architecture and Wilson Hotel. Although it was only a small-scale competition, considering that she was only a sophomore at the time, it was still difficult to stand out from the senior competitors and win the championship. Of.
This champion made her be recommended for an internship in the GMP firm.
During the internship, she participated in the design of the Wilson Hotel Washington branch and the Broadway theater renovation, which was her second project in GMP.
This is a beautiful resume.
Following this path, she will be able to make her mark in the New York architectural circle in less than two years.
The influence of the New York Metropolis radiates throughout the United States, and the United States affects the world, so this is really a promising newcomer in architecture!
GMP New York office wants to promote this newcomer to become famous at a faster speed
Damn, she is also an "equality fighter". At the college, she insisted on Mrs. Dawson to apologize for discriminating against Chinese students.
Which Mrs. Dawson?
Mrs. Mond Dawson.
Damn it, when I found it, I knew something was wrong.
The judgment of the "AIA Supernova Architects" jury is not so firm anymore. In any case, because Xia Xiaolan and the Dawson family had conflicts before, the few words that Mond said at the beginning may not be so pertinent.
Everyone has their own selfishness.
Mond may just dislike this Chinese student and questioned her professional level.
As the winner of the Pritzker Architecture Prize, Mond has no problem doing this.
In the end, she was disqualified from being shortlisted, and it was determined that the work belonged to the female architect Lisa, but the AIA jury!
This is more embarrassing, AIA may be the back of Mond Dawson.
If a Chinese student who came to work as an exchange student did not have extraordinary talents, and was not so good that the professors at Cornell School of Architecture would love talents, how could they sign the protest letter?
The jury is now a little overwhelmed.
Admit that you are wrong?
Then AIA lost its credibility.
AIA's indiscretion will provoke ridicule.
Mond didn't do anything, it was AIA himself who made a mistake...Even if he pushed everything on Mond and Lisa, AIA would have nothing to face:
"Mr. Mond Dawson, is the Vice Chairman of the AIA Jury."
How does this make AIA choose?
AIA can't wait to hide this for Mond.
I used to think that there was no industry-wide notification, which was to save face for the GMP firm, but now I feel a little bit lucky. If the face is not completely torn apart, there is still the possibility of relaxation on both sides.
"Perhaps Kissinger should be invited to the headquarters to have a talk."
There is no need to go through judicial procedures. How about reconciliation between the two parties?
AIA re-appraised the design ownership of the theater renovation plan. If it does belong to Xia Xiaolan, they can re-enter this work in this years "AIA Supernova Architects" selection... They can give Xia Xiaolan a certain degree of inclination when holding the 2nd Supernova Architects Selection.
Anyway, she is still a few years away from the 28-year-old age limit set by the "AIA Supernova Architects", and she can wait until she is more confident before hitting this award.
There are still heated discussions within the AIA. Before they could find Kissinger to discuss the terms of the settlement, the letter of protest from Huaqing University was delivered.
Refining a lot of diplomatic language, it probably means: Huaqing University, one of the highest universities in China, aims to train professionals in all walks of life. The school never lowers the professional standards of students, and the professional ethics of students. On the other hand, it has very high requirements...
The summary is a bit more concise:
AIA wronged classmate Xia Xiaolan.
AIA must find out the truth and correct this error.
AIA should apologize to Xia Xiaolan and restore Xia Xiaolan's personal reputation.
Well, the School of Architecture of Cornell University has spoken for Xia Xiaolan, and it is not surprising that Huaqing University made such a statement. To be honest, this is not something that can be controlled by personal connections. If a student can be able to speak for her from two schools, her personal qualities are absolutely excellent.
Personal qualities here not only refer to professional competence, but also professional ethics.
If she is a student who is easy to find taint, the school is not full of food and nothing to do, risking to help her out.
Following the letter of protest from Huaqing University, it was the Chinese Architectural Society.
"...He claims to be a director of the Chinese Architectural Society and hopes to speak with the chairman of the jury."
Shit!
Such a bad thing, how can it be called AIA stall.
I had known that when Mond Dawson talked to himself and talked to Lisa very happily, everyone hadn't heard it.
AIA is not a court, why should it decide the ownership of works for others?
AIA just care about the awards!
The works declared by the GMP firm may not be able to win the Supernova Architect Award... Even if they do, Lisa feels that it is unfair and can take Xia Xiaolan and GMP to court.
"Cut the director's phone call here..."
