THE PRODUCTION OF THE AAA AWARDS ISSUE Some of you will have received this special issue of Architecture Asia, featuring the ARCASIA Architecture Awards, at the Awards presentation ceremony cum dinner. The winners would have just been announced, and their awards received on stage moments ago. And now, there you have it, a freshly printed copy of Architecture Asia magazine in your hands while you have your coffee or dessert. How is this possible? Thanks to Internet, and the many people working behind the scenes. First and foremost, you have the ARCASIA Awards Convener and the Awards Committee plus the judges and host country’s secretariat (in this particular instance, the JIA Secretariat) at the front end, organising the Awards from beginning to the end – calling for entries, juries’ selection, receiving and sorting the submissions, judging, deliberating, writing citations and juries’ reports… And once the judging and deliberations are completed, and the winners confirmed, the information is compiled and sent to the publishing team headed by Alex Choo in Kuala Lumpur. At the PAM Secretariat, we have Norazam Victor coordinating the submission materials while canvassing for advertisements to fund the whole production of the current issue. For example, for this issue, we received the first batch of Awards materials from JIA on 11th July and the last on 27th August, and in between the juries’ and Convener’s reports. Production of this issue started way before the materials were received, as page layout templates and other aspects were prepared beforehand. The publishing team also took to preparing all the text – editing and cross-checking names, facts and more, while the editor-in-chief also started the ball rolling for the Editor’s message. The final run included colour proof checks with the printer, and a last check by the editor-in-chief, before the issue finally went to print. Upon the completion of printing, delegates from PAM attending the ARCASIA meetings and conference then helped out to personally hand-carry copies of this issue from Kuala Lumpur to Tokyo. Thanks to these special ‘couriers’, the AA publishing team and the printer, you now have this copy in your hands. Enjoy. And our heartiest congratulations to all the short-listed entries and the winners from the production team!

RADICAL TECHNOLOGIES: THE DESIGN OF EVERYDAY LIFE ADAM GREENFIELD VERSO

Everywhere we turn, a startling new device promises to transfigure our lives. But at what cost? In this urgent and revelatory excavation of our Information Age, leading technology thinker Adam Greenfield forces us to reconsider our relationship with the networked objects, services and spaces that define us. It is time to re-evaluate the Silicon Valley consensus determining the future. We already depend on the smartphone to navigate every aspect of our existence. We’re told that innovations—from augmented-reality interfaces and virtual assistants to autonomous delivery drones and self-driving cars—will make life easier, more convenient and more productive. 3D printing promises unprecedented control over the form and distribution of matter, while the blockchain stands to revolutionise everything from the recording and exchange of value to the way we organise the mundane realities of the day to day. And, all the while, fiendishly complex algorithms are operating quietly in the background, reshaping the economy, transforming the fundamental terms of our politics and even redefining what it means to be human. Having successfully colonised everyday life, these radical technologies are now conditioning the choices available to us in the years to come. How do they work? What challenges do they present to us, as individuals and societies? Who benefits from their adoption? In answering these questions, Greenfield’s timely guide clarifies the scale and nature of the crisis we now confront —and offers ways to reclaim our stake in the future.

MODERN TROPICAL: HOUSES IN THE SUN BYRON HAWES RIZZOLI

Contemporary tropical residential architecture has risen from a geographically specific homegrown aesthetic to a source of inspiration for the world’s great modern architects and designers. Set in exotic locales, with pools, lush foliage, colorful gardens, these homes define a way of life. Frequently elegant and uncluttered, the houses serve as models of smart and beautiful design with lots of ideas for homeowners who do not necessarily live in a tropical or subtropical climate, but who wish to have something of that appeal and sensitivity in their own home. This book presents some of the most innovative interpretations of the genre from the past five years by internationally recognised architects and interior decorators, such as Tadao Ando, as well the work of young up-and-comers of great talent, including German-born, Bali-based Alexis Dornier, and Mexico’s Roof Arquitectos. Selected residences span the globe, from the southern United States, the Caribbean, and tropical regions of Latin America, to Southeast Asia, northern Australasia, and Africa. Modern Tropical explores the exotic material, color, cultural, environmental, and aesthetic choices of some of con-

temporary architecture’s most beautiful residential properties. Each house is introduced with breathtaking interior and exterior photography and orientation plans, giving readers an in-depth glimpse of the rapidly evolving symbiosis between nature and shelter, indoor and outdoor, and rustic and polished, in a definitive examination of tropical modern living.

THE FUTURE OF MUSEUM AND GALLERY DESIGN: PURPOSE, PROCESS, PERCEPTION (MUSEUM MEANINGS) SUZANNE MACLEOD, TRICIA AUSTIN, JONATHAN HALE, OSCAR HO HING-KAY ROUTLEDGE

The Future of Museum and Gallery Design explores new research and practice in museum design. Placing a specific emphasis on social responsibility, in its broadest sense, the book emphasises the need for a greater understanding of the impact of museum design in the experiences of visitors, in the manifestation of the vision and values of museums and galleries, and in the shaping of civic spaces for culture in our shared social world. The chapters included in the book propose a number of innovative approaches to museum design and museum-design research. Collectively, contributors plead for more open and creative ways of making museums, and ask that museums recognize design as a resource to be harnessed towards a form of museum-making that is culturally located and makes a significant contribution to our personal, social, environmental, and economic sustainability. Such an approach demands new ways of conceptualising museum and gallery design, new ways of acknowledging the potential of design, and new, experimental, and research-led approaches to the shaping of cultural institutions internationally. The Future of Museum and Gallery Design should be of great interest to academics and postgraduate students in the fields of museum studies, gallery studies, and heritage studies, as well as architecture and design, who are interested in understanding more about design as a resource in museums. It should also be of great interest to museum and design practitioners and museum leaders.

MARCEL BREUER: BUILDING GLOBAL INSTITUTIONS BARRY BERGDOLL, JONATHAN MASSEY, LUCIA ALLAIS, KENNY CUPERS, GUY NORDENSON, TIMOTHY M. ROHAN, TERESA M. HARRIS, JOHN HARWOOD, LAURA MARTINEZ DE GUERENU LARS MULLER PUBLISHERS

Marcel Breuer (1902–81) is celebrated as a furniture designer, teacher and architect who changed the American house after his emigration from Hungary to the US in 1937. More recently historians, architects and—with the reopening in New York of the great megalith of his Whitney Museum as the Met Breuer—a larger public are gaining new insights into the cities and largescale buildings Breuer planned. Often seen as a pioneer of a “Brutalist mod-

ernism” of reinforced concrete, Breuer might best be understood through the lens of the changing institutional structures in and for which he worked, a vantage developed in the fresh approaches gathered here in essays by a group of younger scholars. These essays draw on an abundance of newly available documents held in the Breuer Archive at Syracuse University, now accessible online.

REGENERATIVE URBAN DESIGN AND ECOSYSTEM BIOMIMICRY (ROUTLEDGE RESEARCH IN SUSTAINABLE URBANISM) MAIBRITT PEDERSEN ZARI ROUTLEDGE

It is clear that the climate is changing and ecosystems are becoming severely degraded. Humans must mitigate the causes of, and adapt to, climate change and the loss of biodiversity, as the impacts of these changes become more apparent and demand urgent responses. These pressures, combined with rapid global urbanisation and population growth mean that new ways of designing, retrofitting and living in cities are critically needed. Incorporating an understanding of how the living world works and what ecosystems do into architectural and urban design is a step towards the creation and evolution of cities that are radically more sustainable and potentially regenerative. Can cities produce their own food, energy, and water? Can they be designed to regulate climate, provide habitat, cycle nutrients, and purify water, air and soil? This book examines and defines the field of biomimicry for sustainable built environment design and goes on to translate ecological knowledge into practical methodologies for architectural and urban design that can proactively respond to climate change and biodiversity loss. These methods are tested and exemplified through a series of case studies of existing cities in a variety of climates. Regenerative Urban Design and Ecosystem Biomimicry will be of great interest to students, professionals and researchers of architecture, urban design, ecology, and environmental studies, as well as those interested in the interdisciplinary study of sustainability, ecology and urbanism.

ARQUITECTONICA ALASTAIR GORDON RIZZOLI

A major new evaluation of the trailblazing Miamibased architecture firm upon the advent of its fortieth anniversary. Arquitectonica is the design firm that put Miami on the map for the cool, hip, very now architecture that was first celebrated on TV in Miami Vice. Since their founding four decades ago, the firm has grown exponentially in stature, and its energies have only increased. Arquitectonica is a major presence on the world architectural stage, with offices in New York, Los Angeles, Paris, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Manila, Dubai, Lima, and São Paulo. Founded in 1977, the firm received critical and popular attention and acclaim almost from its inception, thanks to a bold modernism that was immediately identified with a renaissance in Miami’s urban land-

scape. Principals Bernardo Fort-Brescia and Laurinda Spear continue to this day exploring and pushing the limits of materials and design with their innovative use of geometry, pattern, and color. The first book on this major international architectural design firm since Rizzoli’s own Arquitectonica (2004), this volume is a retrospective of the firm’s forty-year history, considering its earliest projects—the archetypal and hugely influential Pink House and Babylon Apartments—to Regalia Condominium tower, its twenty-first-century masterwork of undulant glass and steel.

FROM OBJECT TO EXPERIENCE: THE NEW CULTURE OF ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN HARRY FRANCIS MALLGRAVE BLOOMSBURY VISUAL ARTS

Harry Francis Mallgrave combines a history of ideas about architectural experience with the latest insights from the fields of neuroscience, cognitive science and evolutionary biology to make a powerful argument about the nature and future of architectural design. Today, the sciences have granted us the tools to help us understand better than ever before the precise ways in which the built environment can affect the building user’s individual experience. Through an understanding of these tools, architects should be able to become better designers, prioritising the experience of space — the emotional and aesthetic responses, and the sense of homeostatic well-being, of those who will occupy any designed environment. In From Object to Experience, Mallgrave goes further, arguing that it should also be possible to build an effective new cultural ethos for architectural practice. Drawing upon a range of humanistic and biological sources, and emphasizing the far-reaching implications of new neuroscientific discoveries and models, this book brings up-to-date insights and theoretical clarity to a position that was once considered revolutionary but is fast becoming accepted in architecture.

THE ART OF ARCHITECTURAL DAYLIGHTING

MARY GUZOWSKI LAURENCE KING PUBLISHING

During the past decade there has been a tremendous growth in daylighting analysis methods, allowing designers to meet ever higher standards. But in relying too heavily on these methods, there is a risk of reducing daylighting design to a quantitative exercise, overlooking the qualitative, aesthetic, and experiential aspects of design. This book reveals how architects have bridged the poetic and practical potential of daylighting to create exquisitely illuminated spaces. In the book, 12 buildings are examined, using photographs, drawings, and plans. Each case study also includes technical analysis diagrams, specially created using specialist software. Featured architects include Renzo Piano, David Chipperfield, and Steven Holl. The Art of Architectural Daylighting will be invaluable for professionals and students alike.

The Arcasia Awards For Architecture (AAA) is an endeavour to raise the standard of the built environment throughout Asia in general and in ARCASIA member countries in particular, in order to encourage and recognise exemplary works done by architects working in Asia. The first three Awards were given every two years, beginning in 1992 during the Asian Congress of Architects (ACA) that was organised by ARCASIA. The fourth Awards was held in 1998 during the 7th ACA held in Colombo, Sri Lanka. From 1999, the Awards were adjudged during the year in which the ARCASIA Forum was held, and conferred in the year in which ARCASIA holds its congress. In 2012, AAA was restructured from a two-year to one-year cycle, and the judging and conferment of Awards to now be within the same year as the Forum or ACA. An independent jury panel consisting of leading architects of Asia is nominated by the ARCASIA Council to assess and determine the winners.

Convener’s Report It is my honour to be appointed Convener of the ARCASIA Architecture Award (AAA) 2018. As the Past President of the ARCASIA, a former member of the ARCASIA Council, a Chair of the ACAE, I have witnessed excellent works of the architects in Asia since 1997. The progress of the architectural profession is phenomenal in Asia, with the region contributing to driving much of the world’s economy in the past quarter century. The infrastructure had to be constructed to run such mega-operation in countries like China, Japan, Korea, Indonesia, India, Vietnam, Malaysia and Singapore. Consequently, demand for architects became high and the educational institutions are producing young graduates each year to enter the profession. The profession, on the other hand, began to mature in many Asian countries. Home-grown architects have spawned in great batches and are producing excellent works across the region. The AAA Awards is run each year to recognise such Asian talent and the quality works they design and produce. This year, the AAA Award programme was launched in March with high hopes to receive quality architectural designs from across Asia region. For the 2018 AAA panel, we have invited a prestigious group of architects from three ARCASIA zones – a principal architect of an award-winning office of SNOHETTA and an internationally acclaimed curator from Japan, who is the Director of a prestigious museum in Tokyo. The jury was headed by Ar S.M. Jahangir Kahn, President of ARCASIA. On the early morning of 30 June 2018, the 2018 panel came together at the JIA Headquarters Building in Tokyo to deliberate and decide the winners of the ten categories of the AAA Award. Although the adjudication was a one-day affair, the members were given one month to review a large number of submissions before arriving in Tokyo. This year, there were 405 projects submitted in ten categories of the AAA Award. Breakdown by countries are as follows: China 184, Japan 44, Thailand 34, Hong Kong 30, Vietnam 26, Malaysia 21, Bangladesh 20, Sri Lanka 15, Korea 15, Indonesia 7, Pakistan 4, Singapore 3, India 1 and Other 1. The contribution of China to the AAA Award programme, with 184 entries, represents the popularity of the AAA, as well as the healthy competitive environment in the architectural profession in China. Looking at the breakdown by the award categories A1(54), A2(30), B1(39), B2(32), B3(141), B4(14), C(20), D(29), E(27) and F(15), we see that Category B3, Public Amenity/Social Institutional Buildings, was extremely competitive with 141 entries. Further, as expected Category A1, Single Family Residential Projects, was second with 54 entries from across Asia region. The jury, headed by Ar Kahn, went through each category of submissions to carefully select the finalists. Most categories had three finalists. Categories A-2, B-4 and F had one finalist each. Categories B-2 and C had two finalists. On the other hand, Category D had four finalists. Every project, selected to be the finalists, are significant quality architecture, symbolising the progress of the architectural profession in Asia in the last quarter century. On 12 September 2018, the winners will be announced at the AAA Awards Dinner to be held in Happo-En in Tokyo. It is hoped that all the finalist will join the Awards Gala to celebrate the sublime of the Asian architectural design and profession.

Situated alongside lake Chuzenji, this shoreline cottage guesthouse was designed with a continuous wrap-around walkway flowing from the approach to the bedrooms. The wrap around design invites visitors to follow the water’s edge, enjoying the various views along the way. At the same time, this wrap-around style creates awareness of various aspects of the lake environment, as the distance to the water changes the sound of ripples, reflections and the influence of the lake on humidity temperatures. Since the whole place – which consists of various elevations – is connected to be a long space, there is no uniform indoor environment. Various areas have differing thermal environments, such as the fireplace area that warms and dries the air.

Visitors wander around, discovering and enjoying spots created by the lakeshore that they find comfortable. Located in an area that requires some heating in the building even during summer, one may find joy in the warmth near the fireplace, while another may relish the area’s tranquillity and coolness. The building is closed during the cold winter season as not to waste energy. BIM was utilised from the design stage, enabling a sequence of line of sights (via windows and other openings) to be carefully controlled, providing beautifully framed views of the surroundings. BIM also allowed for the simulation of the flow of natural breezes.

LT House This small house is located in a new residential area in Long Thanh District. The owners are a newlywed couple with the desire to have their own house, and with plans to open a small coffee shop on the ground floor. With the limited area, the design turns private spaces into shared spaces in order to create more space for the common areas. The furniture is designed simply, and with a tight budget, the owners themselves bought the materials and made all of them. The front and back yards serve as buffer spaces to reduce heat from the outside environment. The front yard, designed as a relaxing area, is perfect for morning coffees. This is the area that wind, sunlight and shadows from the brick walls meet each other. The overall design of the house was not only a response to the tight budget, but also a response to the climate â&#x20AC;&#x201C; with a focus on self-ventilation and natural light in order to adapt to the tropical climate in the south of Vietnam.

2018

This is a residence with a studio for an architect, located by a marsh in Rajagiriya, Sri Lanka. Although located along an urban fringe near a series of high-rise buildings, and close to the main road, the building is designed like a fortification. It is well insulated from the tropical heat via specially designed double screens, as well as from road noise and traffic. Once within however, this home reveals unexpected views of the marsh within a highly permeable setting.

Located on a small footprint of 2,720 sq ft, the building comprises three levels. The ground floor, which houses parking, the kitchen, a model making room and a guest suite, also acts as a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;flood gardenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, in response to the flooding conditions of the marsh. The second floor comprises the lobby and workspaces, while the third floor has a meeting area, lounge, library, and a bedroom with an adjoining balcony and sky bathroom. The roof level comprises a living and an entertainment pavilion. A green building, this residence uses built and landscape strategies in order to create a cooler microclimate, and also features a green terrace on the roof that re-uses collected rainwater to cultivate a spice garden.

The challenges were to recreate their old childhood house, to accommodate large communal activities such as dining for over fifty people, and to create scattered spaces that are respectively conducive for various age groups. A soft court of is situated in the southwest corner of the plot, and the placement of two units on each floor ensures prevailing tropical winds of the coastal region of Bangladesh and light to sufficiently enter each flat.

The Commons is a small lifestyle development in Bangkok, which is composed of mostly food and beverage tenants. The client wanted a place for the community where people of all demographics could feel welcome. Like all other big cities in Southeast Asia, the hot and humid tropical weather results in a lack of open public spaces – it is always either too hot or too wet to be comfortable. The design for this project is an attempt to address this, creating an active open space where people can comfortably enjoy anytime of the year. The project’s outdoor space starts with the ‘Common Ground’, which is a series of steps and ramps inserted with platforms, seating, trees, shrubs and small kiosks. The area is well covered by

the third and fourth floor structure above, providing shade and rain protection to most of the space. This space vertically opens up through big voids on the upper floors, connecting with large public open-air areas on the 3rd and 4th floors. The space vertically and horizontally flows throughout the entire building, inviting natural ventilation from three sides and through gaps between the roof and skylight. Incorporated into a ceiling screen below the skylight are two sets of industrial fans. One set draws hot air out, and the other blows down to effectively increase air movement on extra hot days. This airy semi-outdoor space becomes a single vertical active urban living area, well incorporated with pocket gardens on all levels, and is perfect for strolling and relaxing at any time and in any season.

Choui Fong Tea Cafe Choui Fong Tea Café is located in the area of a tea plantation that covers several huge hills. Instead of locating the tea café on the hilltop as the owner originally intended, the architects decided to lay the building out of the way in order to have unobstructed views, by hiding them just under the hill, with the rooftop still able to take in the views of the plantation. Hilltop views on the roof provide for a 360-degree viewpoint. Here, in addition to the natural atmosphere of the plantation, visitors can observe farming activity and tea leaves harvesting throughout the day. The main building is composed of three buildings; they are floated and reach out to different viewpoints. The functional areas include a dining zone, café, teashop, and a restroom. The structure appears floating as when seen from the foothill, as only one pile appears to bear the entire building. The retaining wall at the back is set into a distance of the building to create an extra space for the green courtyard in order to provide shade and shadow in this area. There is another separated building of restrooms for visitors at the parking lot; this is to alleviate visitor circulation during high season. Same as the main building, this restroom building is also hidden under the hill and is also composed with stone and incorporates a green courtyard for shade.

The Otemachi Tower / Otemachi Forest

Otemachi Tower is an urban redevelopment project in central Tokyo. Prior to the development, two buildings divided both the aboveground area and the cramped basement area, and did not provide a pleasant urban environment. The new development comprises an ultra-high rise building with office and hotel functions as a centre for international exchange and finance. The development also features the Otemachi Forest – a radical departure from conventional manmade plazas – in the most densely populated part of Tokyo. Beneath the Otemachi Tower building, a public plaza that functions as a terminal for five subway lines is provided, and forms the core of the pedestrian network connecting the above-ground and underground spaces. The surrounding area of Otemachi is a vast maze of closed, cramped underground passageways, but the four-story atrium plaza is continuously connected with the forest at ground level. Natural light filters down through the glass curtain walls to create a large space that is bright and open and also functions as a local disaster centre. The Otemachi Forest also mitigates the “heat island” phenomena and provides a green space that connects the greenery of the Imperial Palace with the Otemachi, Marunouchi and Yurakucho districts to the east. Wild birds have been sighted there, and it is expected to become the nucleus for the formation of a green network.

The only building around is a small hotel that offers accommodation and food. The centre supplies training, camping, as well as bath and storage facilities, and has been designed with a series of terraces and spaces on different levels for walking and viewing. To keep costs low, as well as because of the difficult site on a mountaintop, cheap local red bricks were used as the main material, and horses were used as a means of transport. The design features a distinct geometric logic, extending the space to nature while at the same time to also keep a suitable distance.

Lima Duva This project is located on Aow Praw, Koh Samed, Thailand. Koh Samed is a popular destination among modern couples who seek a place for romance, hence the phrase “Pai Samed Sed Took Raii,” referring to the island’s enchanting atmosphere. The design team took on the notion of Koh Samed being a place of love and romance, and thus the design approach was to create a place that serves couples and their activities, while not alienating the family guests. Each unit has its semi-outdoor balcony acting as a divider from the adjacent unit to maximise privacy. All ground floor units have access to the pool and a private Jacuzzi for two occupants. The colour of the pool tiles gradually become darker at the Jacuzzi area to create visual privacy for the guests. Ventilation blocks are used along the corridors to bring in the sunlight in a pattern that varies throughout the day, creating different impressions when walking back and forth. The lobby was designed in a simple white geometric form, and is located close to the main road, enclosing the courtyard and the existing trees. At the entrance, guests need to bend down slightly as the space leads them in, gently revealing parts of the resort. The white box lobby is also used as a screen for films and other media projection, using the courtyard as the seating area.

Baan Nong Bua School

Baan Nong Bua School is a local elementary school in Chiang Rai, Thailand. The school was one of the effected facilities of the earthquake of 2014. Due to extensive damage, the children had to study in a temporary pavilion. The requirements for the new school was to have space for four classrooms and an activity area. More importantly, the new building needed to be earthquake resistant in order to withstand future natural disasters. The initiation of the project started from the non-profit network named Design for Disasters (D4D). In addition, there was also cooperation between local institutions, including The Engineering Institute of Thailand, Thai Contractors Association, and the Association of Siamese Architects. The structure was made out of steel â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the flexibility of steel and the skeleton frame structure made it ideal to help absorb the vibration from earthquakes. Also, the use of steel as well as a modular system helped accelerate the construction process. With a vernacular design, the school itself is also designed to respond with to local factors, including material, ventilation, and weather. The building is designed to be a pavilion-like, with the main entrance connected with the corridor in the middle of the building, and with classrooms on both sides of the corridor. At the front of the building is a veranda that serves as a semi outdoor space. This veranda not only prevents heat from penetrating directly through the wall, but also provides an activity space for the students when needed.

Museum of Traditional Mongolian Medicine This museum is located in the new district of northern Tongliao, Inner Mongolia. In 2013, the government of Tongliao invited several well-known Chinese architects to design a cultural facility to convert the existing Xiaozhuang riverbank into a museum park. This Museum of Traditional Mongolian Medicine is an important hub in this ensemble. Lying at the east end of site, the museum acts as the entrance to the park and provides the first impression of the city. Lying at the frontier in-between urban environment and natural landscape, nomadic civilisation and agricultural civilisation in the broader context, the museum features a design strategy in-between floating and anchoring, underground and aboveground, day and night, just as the intricate balance of the human body as advocated by traditional Mongolian medicine.

Bangladesh Mohila Samity Complex (Bangladesh Women Association Complex)

The Mohila Samity (Women’s Association) is an organisation which started right after the independence in 1971, and the original Mohila Samity building hosted an auditorium; which became so popular among theatre groups that the road it was located on came to be known as the ‘Theatre Avenue’. Over time the activity of Mohila Samity expanded, but the existing premises lost its appeal as it could not meet the modern demands, and theatre groups began to move to other venues. This redevelopment of the Mohila Samity building is meant to address this, with the vision to accommodate present and future needs, including theatres (one with 250 seats and the other one with 100 seats), conference facilities, offices and training facilities for the institution, a primary school, and more.

2018

Hohhot is the capital city as well as the political, economic, and cultural centre of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, and acts as the key junction leading to North China and Northeast China from Northwest China, as well as to connect the BeijingTianjin- Tangshan Region. This long-distance coach terminal serves as a national-level passenger coach centre, a national-level highway passenger transport centre, and a key link for the multimode transport terminals such as highway, railway, aviation and urban public transport, and so on.

The planning and design focused on the urban spatial relationship between the long-distance passenger coach terminal and key buildings nearby. An enclosure was established between the railway station and the front urban square, connecting with the underground space of the passenger railway station, the south and north squares, and the underground urban traffic transfer junction. It was necessary to build an underground slow-spaced traffic system crossing the railways. This underground space is not affected by the ground motor vehicle traffic, and serves to merge the urban spaces, which have been divided by the railways and motor vehicle traffic. This is very important for Hohhot City, which is freezing, windy, and sandy during wintertime. The underground urban space will protect against wind and rain in summer and offer a spring-like place to the users, enhancing the urban conviviality of this area.

This project is a recycling station that sets out to be more than just a rubbish collection point. The Community Green Station, located in Hong Kong East, is a pilot project for promoting green living and the collection of recyclables at the community level. The architects wanted to create a small green oasis that would embody a sense of community, inject the leftover temporary car park underneath the major flyover with vibrancy, and turn the space into a small public urban forum. The concept involved creating a street through the site to connect the surrounding new and old communities. Greeneries of the nearby park are extended to the old district through this urban

intercourse. Through the use of a green wall, bamboo trellis and a courtyard garden, it embodies a sense of community and the feel of an oasis within the city. The Station is divided into small separate blocks along the street that hold exhibitions and educational programmes, as well as a back wing to serve as the recycling workshop at the other end. The street together with the garden embodies a variety of gathering places; creating multiple layers of space from public to private, from open spaces, semi-open spaces to enclosed areas. Although the building is temporary, it aims to embody a permanent cultural value.

Beijing Offset Printing Factory This project involves the renovation of a series of abandoned printing plants into a multifunction creative park. The industrial buildings of the Beijing Offset Printing Factory were built in the 1960s, 1970s and 1990s respectively, each with its different histories. After a half century of trials and hardships, the factories were left in a dilapidated condition. Contrary to current architectural trends, materials and techniques with low precision and more direct construc-

tion methods were adopted during the renovation. Preserving the original shape and specification of steel, removing all unnecessary processes and decoration, the integrality and independence of every piece of material was protected. The joint constructions are made as simple and direct as possible to reveal the beauty of power and essence. As a result, the new buildings have become integrated with the overall historical atmosphere of the place.

Alterations & Additions and Conservation Work to Church of Saints Peter & Paul

ARCHITECTURE ASIA

ISSUE 3

2018

The restoration of this church began in 2013 and was completed in 2016. Apart from addressing necessary repairs to the existing Church structures, the restoration also reinstated several features of the original church, such as ornate encaustic tiles, similar to the ones removed in the late 1960s. Aside from repairing the aging roof structure, technical improvements such as new acoustic ceiling boards, LED lightings and floor mounted air conditioning units were sensitively added.

Notably, to better appreciate the Church building in relation to its very eclectic history, many of the changes introduced in the renovation in 1969 to modernise the church were reversed: the vertical window louvres have been replaced with traditional wooden casement-louvered windows, the badly-planned choir loft at the rear end was removed. A high altar, similar to the one that was demolished, has been sourced from a demolished Church in USA and re-installed at the chancel. The spiral wrought-iron staircase similar to the one destroyed,was fabricated and reinstated.

The Environmental Upgrade of the Five Dragons Temple Listed as a class A cultural relic by Chinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s National Cultural Heritage Conservation Bureau, the Five Dragons Temple is the oldest surviving Taoist temple, and the second oldest timber building. However, this national treasure had been in a deteriorated condition. The project required an innovative solution to restore the temple by means of environmental upgrade and to sustain the temple in the long run by inviting the daily life of villagers back around the temple.

The environmental upgrade of the Five Dragons Temple is centred around two themes. The explicit theme is to create layers of overlapping spaces around the main building to tell the story of the temple history and ancient Chinese architecture. Through this theme, visitors can learn about the knowledge of traditional Chinese architecture to better understand the importance of preserving its heritage. The latent theme is to restore the temple back into the realm of public gatherings of the village.

This project is part of an effort to return the riverside of Huangpu River to its citizens, by creating Shanghai’s longest public open space. Huangpu River has been the originating place of Shanghai. It once served as an important water transportation artery, with numerous factories along the riverbanks that turned shores into production shorelines of great significance to China’s industries. However, with the further development of Shanghai, the city’s industrial structure has changed, and the once industrial shorelines has to be transformed to fit back into the city’s everyday life.

Disappearing Lands: Supporting Communities Affected by River Erosion

ARCHITECTURE ASIA

ISSUE 3

2018

A large part of Bangladesh is a delta in formation with a large number of major rivers and their tributaries. These rivers, before reaching the Bay of Bengal, frequently change their course, thus eroding the riverbanks. According to statistics nearly seven million people have been displaced due to river erosions during the last two decades, and millions of people are directly or indirectly affected every year. The project region is located in the north-western Bangladesh, a highly disaster-prone district, with ongoing riverbank erosion that lead to permanent loss of agricultural lands and as well as homesteads. This project was formally launched in April 2004 by

The studio itself is a beautiful art structure to engage in â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a cubeshaped building with 7sqm of space. Surrounding the studio is a bamboo frame platform that is used for drying out terra cotta products. It is further designed with two big benches for resting, relaxing and having tea. This raised platform also serves as a fence to separate the studio with the area of workshop.

The outermost layer of the studio is made of solid clay bricks, which reminds people of traditional Vietnamese furnaces. The bricks were laid in an interleaved pattern that create holes to help improve wind ventilation. This layer is not meant to be the wall that separates the outside environment from the inside; as such the artist can sense the wind, sounds and smells from the surrounding area.
