She was jealous of Xia Xiaolan's "talent", as well as her connections.
If it wasn't for relationships, how could two clients come to the door together, vying to get Xia Xiaolan to accept the commission?
Of course, Lisa was also upset.
The theater renovation project is in the late stage. Mrs. Wilson seems to have fallen out with Xia Xiaolan, but Xia Xiaolan has already left gmp. Mrs. Wilson has made trouble with the firm several times, and also embarrasses Lisa on the spot. Lisa thinks she has suffered a lot of grievances.
She has her own contribution.
She suffered the grievance.
But can't enjoy the glory?
This is the unspoken rule of the architect industry, whoever is the chief designer enjoys the glory.
People will say that a certain award-winning work is the work of a certain architect or a certain firm. The architect accepts the award, and at most it is to thank the team just like those Hollywood stars, standing on the podium, It is a routine to say thank you to the brokerage company and thank you to the broker.
Lisa was jealous.
However, there was nothing she could do.
Watching gmp partner Kissinger send the theater project to apply for the "AIA Supernova Architect" award, the jealousy reached its peak.
The theater refurbishment project was really well done.
After the opening, the audience also affirmed this point.
Even the picky Mrs. Wilson shut up after seeing the popularity of the theater after its reopening.
If Xia Xiaolan wins the aia supernova award, she will undoubtedly become a hit in the international architecture circle She has not even completed her undergraduate studies, so she is not considered a real architect!
Women, are neglected in this industry.
Lisa thinks that her professional experience is a good illustration of this problem. Isn't it because she is a female architect that she can't get ahead in gmp and can't get more opportunities?
As a female architect, she suffered a lot of suppression.
Why is Xia Xiaolan so smooth?
This is so unfair
Lisa did not expect that Mond Dawson, who was the vice chairman of the jury of AIA this time, still remembered the encounter with her in the theater, and questioned the declaration of GMP.
Mr. Mond believes that she is the main designer of the theater and the theater is her work.
When the aia jury asked her to confirm this, seeing the encouragement in Mond's eyes, Lisa admitted it in front of the jury without knowing why!
Kissinger was naturally furious.
Lisa was less frightened.
Because after she submitted a part of the design draft to the aia headquarters, Mond said that he admired her courage and supported her rights protection actions.
"If you lose your job because of this, you are welcome to my studio."
This gave Lisa great confidence.
Mond's studio is no worse than gmp's New York office.
Of course she chose to resign from gmp and switch to Mond's studio.
This kind of behavior can be regarded as confirming her identity as a victim. Her work was almost taken over by others. She exposed the facts and couldn't gain a foothold in gmp. It's a poor person.
What did this "poor" woman lose?
not at all.
She got a better paying job.
Her name was first known to her colleagues in New York.
Although aia maintained face for the GMP firm and did not report the matter to the whole industry, there is no impenetrable wall in the world, so Lisa still received attention.
It's a pity that she is over 28 years old and does not meet the rigid conditions for the selection of aia supernova architects. Otherwise, she could still compete for this award with this work.
Lisa has benefited, so she can no longer retreat After receiving the subpoena from the court, Lisa panicked.
Xia Xiaolan has already left the United States, and she did not expect to be brought to court so soon.
"Mr. Mond, what should I do?"
Lisa rushed into Mond's office, at a loss, and put the court summons on the table.
Then she saw what Mond was holding in his hand, and the AIA headquarters sent Xia Xiaolan's appeal and protest letter to Mond by fax.
"Sir, I, I"
Mond dropped the fax and looked at the court summons again, but he was very calm:
"What do you want to say? Could it be that you didn't design the theater renovation plan, did you deceive me?"
"No sir, it is my work."
Lisa bit her tongue.
She didn't even know why Mond said those words to the AIA jury.
When Mond took her daughter to visit the theater, facing Mond's compliment, Lisa once told the truth-it was not her work, it was another architect of the firm.
She thought Mond had forgotten.
In front of the jury of AIA, Lisa took Xia Xiaolan's design as her own.
Mond didn't expose it, she thought Mond had really forgotten¡ª¡ª
No, it¡¯s not like that, a Pritzker Architecture Prize winner, a well-known architect who can remember detailed parameters, how could he forget such a thing?
Mond knew whose production the theater was from start to finish.
It's just that he and Lisa have never clarified this issue, and the two sides cooperated very well.
Mond's calmness slowly infected Lisa.
Yes, they don't need to talk about it, no matter why, Mond wants this result.
Lisa increased her voice:
"Sir, it is my work!"
Mond finally smiled, "Yes, the aia jury decided that it is your work. Some people want to overturn aia's decision, how can aia agree? This is just a very common copyright lawsuit, you should Be confident in yourself."
Lisa took a deep breath and lowered her voice:
"There is a very important witness. He is another intern who participated in the project at that time, Matthew Carlton, who is also from the School of Architecture of Cornell University. I know that he really wants to stay in gmp."
Mond raised his head, "But he didn't stay, right? In the same batch of interns, there is always one who will be outstanding, and the others will be reduced to a foil. It is also an intern, others can host a project, but he can only help. Do you think he will be jealous? All classmates are fake, in the face of interests, someone will always make a smart choice, you are like this, and so will Matthew."
"You want him to come to the studio¡ª"
Lisa groaned.
This is a way.
What is the difference between being able to go to Mond Dawson's studio, this career starting point, and going to gmp?
The gmp firm has many mature architects, and Matthew is a newcomer. I don't know how long it will take to get ahead.
Mond's personal studio is different.
If Mond is willing to give Matthew more opportunities, the process of Matthew showing his talents will be shortened a lot.
Let's put it this way, gmp can apply for this year's aia supernova architect selection for Xia Xiaolan, and if Mond is willing to help Matthew, Matthew can also become a finalist for "aa supernova architect" next year¡ª¡ª
Mond dropped the summons in his hand:
"If he is not in gmp, he can go to other places. Young people should think more about their own future. Others can afford a lawyer, and a gmp partner can help her. What does he have?" (Remember the website URL : www.hlnovel.com
