Who is the hotel designer in Paris who is supported by only one pillar?

At that time, he was still an unknown British designer. He had nothing but youth, but he was lucky enough to participate in the design of Wen Ze City Hall. He used the knowledge of engineering mechanics and skillfully designed a scheme to support the ceiling of the hall with only one pillar according to his years of practice. A year later, the authoritative department of the municipal government said that it was too dangerous to support the ceiling with only one pillar, and asked him to add more pillars.

However, this young designer is very confident. He thinks that only one strong pillar is enough to ensure the safety of the hall. He insisted on his perfect design and rejected the suggestion of the project inspector. His stubbornness angered city officials and he was almost taken to court.

Under various pressures, he fell into a dilemma: sticking to his own ideas means openly opposing the government; Give it up, it's against your own standards. After a long period of contradiction, he finally came up with a plan to kill two birds with one stone to prove the rationality of his design.

He added four pillars to the hall, but they didn't touch the ceiling. They were just decorations for those ignorant but willful people.

Time flies, years change, and this is 300 years.

In 300 years, municipal officials have changed batch after batch, and the pillar supporting the ceiling above them remains the same. It was not until two years ago when the municipal government was preparing to repair the ceiling of the hall that the secret was discovered.

The news spread like wildfire overnight. Architects and tourists from all over the world come here to admire this magical pillar and call this city hall "a building that mocks ignorance". The local government made no secret of this, and specially opened the museum as a tourist attraction at the arrival of the new century. Many people lingered in front of that pillar, daydreaming.

The young designer's name is Christopher Wren, a very strange name. There is very little information about him today, but what he said at that time is recorded in the only remaining information: I am confident, confident at least after 100 years, when you face this pillar, you can only be speechless or even dumbfounded-I want to make it clear that what you see is not a miracle, but my little persistence in confidence.

At that time, some people laughed at his ignorance, but what is the reality today?

Isn't 300 years of history enough to explain all this? Christopher Wren, this is still a strange name. However, I believe many people are afraid to make a sound when reading his name. Because 300 years ago, maybe only God heard him say: You can hold your dream to the height of heaven by relying on the pillar of self-confidence. And such a pillar doesn't need much decoration, just one is enough.
