All about Shadow Puppetry


PiYingXi (shadow puppetry) Shadow play which is also known as shadow puppetry is an ancient form of storytelling and entertainment which uses flat articulated cut-out figures (shadow puppets) which are held between a source of light and a translucent screen or scrim. The cut-out shapes of the puppets sometimes include translucent color or other types of detailing. Various effects can be achieved by moving both the puppets and the light source. A talented puppeteer can make the figures appear to walk, dance, fight, nod and laugh. Shadow play is popular in various cultures, among both children and adults in many countries around the world. Currently there are more than 20 countries known to have shadow show troupes. Shadow play is an old tradition and it has a long history in Southeast Asia; especially in Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand and Cambodia. It has been an ancient art and a living folk tradition in China, India and Nepal. is also known in Egypt, Turkey, Greece, Germany, France and the United States.

raising local problem Guidebook collections

MINI GUIDEBOOK REGENERATE PERFORMACE SPACE AS A COLLECTION OF URBAN CULTURAL INFORMATION During our initial site investigate it was observed that there was a large collection of cultural institutions surrounding the site. Most of the cultural institutions were never heard off and it’s almost hidden from the public. Through this I began to develope a theory that there were too many cultural institutions within the Sydney CBD creating a sense of confusion. I continued the investigation via mapping out the cultural confusion and conducting questionaires to testify my theory. Through the questionaire it was clear that the public was only aware of 2 - 3 / 55 of the cultural institutions. Hence, my design intention was to create a mini-guidebook that can represent the cultural pattern of the city to help visitors understand the cultural background of the Sydney CBD.

Phase 2 focus on the reasearch about precedent, sillberog art museum, design by John Utzon. Also, try to understand the concept, anchor points in this project.

Precedent

spacial connection

CONNECTION between plan and section

CONNECTION between line and circle

This drawing is utilised to show the relationship between the section and the plans of the building. The drawing shows the connection of circular spaces in different levels of the building and how the circular spaces influence its surroundings.

Utzon uses linear space to intensify the feelings of circular space.

MATRIX LAYOUT 1 based on grids of plan


Precedent Status quo

extract information from grids (conclusion) connection [1] The matrix layout can be pieced into the plan of the building, which connect to Utzon’s concept of part and whole.

1. confused geometry 2. complex space 3. lack of linking

continunity [2] combine two small square grids, to form a real geometry in this design, it can actually give us a feeling of continunity. Thus, boundary,(eg. wlal) is used to create order in this disordered form.

location [3] utilizing 3 different levels of circle, to show the spacial location in different height, to get the relationship between circular space and wall.

plan [4] cut this design into five times, which would provide readers a clear plan in each level, which is able to show how circle related to each other in each level.

section [5] five sectional drawings are able to give readers a sense of how space overlap, also, Utzon utilized these circular space to make sure the continunity.

influence [6] the shape of the wall, is related to the three circles, which can be regard as anchor points, affecting the entire building design utilizling anchor points to keep the continunity of space, also, create a potential connection.

PHASE 3 Mapping Analysis

phase 3 applied those points learned from Utzon by reanalysing the CBD map.


Site Analysis

mapping Location Analysis That site has been chosen sit on the edge of city, which can be divided into cultural rich or poor part(based on the amount of cultural institutions), also, one side is for business, the other side is for resisdence. Thus, this edge could be regarded as a buffer zone, but, due to its location, it might be lose governance, which might create some disorder situation

Site Photos (disorder situation) [1] hard to control them, might hurt innocent pedestrian.

homeless

dim lighting

[2] dim lighting situation might increase the crime rate in site.

[3] broken pieces would increase the feelings of disorder, whichmight lead to vicious circle.

broken pieces

messy space

[4] Keeping messy space in the Domain allows bed bugs to thrive.

[5] dirty infrastruture might push people away from this space.


Site Analysis

problems solving process Cultural confusion in CBD cultural institutions could affect their surroundings in a certain distance, however, it might create some confusion if there is too much information at one time, which might create some disorder situation.

Finding anchor points mapping out those cultural museums in CBD, treating them as anchor points, thus, other cultural institutions could be understood by knowing those anchor points first, which might decrease disorder situation in some way.

Site Analysis

concept : compressed screen

Search for possibility When the various iterations are placed onto the site, it failed to make any sense. There were no clear conditions for choosing the correct iteration, hence there were no relationships formed. Further, utilising the cities pattern to generate a architectural form failed to make any architectural sense.

An alternative Method was utilised to compress all the information into a miniguide book. This is presented in the form of a 2D screen. The 2D screen acts as a miniguide book to clean up the cultural disorder and thus arise the conceptual framework of the project; Compress screen.

Meanwhile, cultural information could be showed in this way, through their transporation or living stytle. Thus, it could be regarded as a sample of how to compress 3D information into 2D, also, do not lose any important information for people to understand the whole city culture.

Acknowledgement

The completion of the portfolio owes to my instructor, Jennifer Mcmasters, for her valuable criticism of my works and great support. I sincerely appreciate my friends, Junyan Huang and Rongrong Zhang. Their comfort and encourage help me to get through those difficult times during final weeks. Besides, I also want to express many thanks to Dr. Rizal Muslimin, Dr. Fancois Blanciak, and Dr. Matthew Mindrup, they let me know how important following the calling of my destiny and being myself even in the darkest hours. Also, thanks to all those companions and friends who have been working with me at the University of Sydney for three years. Finally, I would like to express my deepest thanks to My parents, for their selfless sacrifice, patience, and understanding.
