那时,他是英国一位名不见经传的设计师。除了年轻,他一无所有,但他很幸运,参加了温泽市政府大厅的设计。他运用工程力学知识,依据自己多年的实践,很巧妙地设计了只用一根柱子支撑大厅天花板的方案。一年后,市政府权威人士进行验收时,却说只用一根柱子支撑天花板太危险,要求他再多加几根柱子。 At that time, he was a little-known British designer. Apart from being young, he had nothing but he was fortunate to participate in the design of the Wenzhou City Hall. Using knowledge of engineering mechanics, he used his many years of practice to masterly design a plan to support the ceiling of a hall with only one pillar. A year later, when the authorities of the city government accepted the inspection, they said that using only one pillar to support the ceiling was too dangerous and asked him to add a few more pillars.
