Ando was one of the first architects to respond to the "9/ 1 1" terrorist attacks in the United States in 2006. He strongly opposed the construction of any building on the ruins of the World Trade Center, but submitted a design called "Tomb of the Soul", hoping to commemorate the pain of the city with a slowly rising blank. But his plan was rejected. Ando further confirmed that the era of America has passed. He said: "The United States is an interest society, and certainly still hopes to build on the original site and earn wealth again. In the past, the United States was the center of the world, and now the Asian era has arrived. "
It is 10, and Europe and America are experiencing a serious crisis, which makes Ando more confident when talking about "Asia". Sitting opposite him, you can clearly see the confident light in his eyes and feel his lofty sentiments. What best represents the "energy" that Asia currently has is undoubtedly Shanghai. Ando did not hesitate to praise the prosperity and vitality of Shanghai and Lujiazui on the day of the interview. This is also the reason why he has visited frequently in recent years and accepted many projects entrusted by Shanghai. Even when asked whether the scene of excessive demolition and a large number of new buildings during Japan's high-speed growth period is being repeated in Shanghai, he just brushed it off with a sentence "Don't forget to maintain the inherent things", and did not show the sharpness when he slammed Tokyo's "great destructive power" in the past. When he explained the spiral staircase of the Sinian Museum, he even said: "The staircase winds upwards and the field of vision is getting wider and wider, which symbolizes that Shanghai is the center of the universe."
From 201February 17 to April 17, Aurora Museum will put into trial operation and hold special exhibitions such as "China Ancient Artifacts Exhibition" and "Bulgari 125 Italian Classic Design Art". After that, the museum will enter the second phase of renovation and officially open on 20 13 and 10. By then, the Aurora Museum, located next to the Aurora International Building in Fucheng Road, Pudong, will become a professional museum integrating exhibition, research, collection and promotion.
