Topic statement

The exploration of historic preservation regarding sea level rise in Venice, Italy.

Thesis statement

The practice of contemporary heritage treatments is challenged and needs to be more adaptive, especially in the rapidly changing climate; hence, future preservation needs to absorb the environmental context to withstand and evolve with the new cultural context.

FINAL MODEL

Re-imagine

There were 3 questions I asked myself in this project:

1. How does colour define space from the colour legend 21st century Luis Barragan, Mexico?

2. How to revival 20th century Indochine style in the 21st century, Vietnam?

3. How do the new and the old meet?

Jesmond Museum

Time by time, the magical and historical stories of Jesmond Dene slowly become evanescent within society’s memory. To preserve the memory within the urban context, this open-air museum accentuates the journey of experience, and the series of incidents within the landscape.

The journey’s starting point is the underground water streams in St Mary’s Well from West to East. The water is an elixir and the consistent element of all stories. These rooms align to the holy water direction, and a water corridor is devised.

The long corridor is the metaphor of the underground water runway. It is a dark narrow path lightened by the sun; the blue sky above reflects the water - an imaginary spring. The sky is the implication of water, which is observed along the Ouseburn riverside. It is an interpretation of nature impressions into architecture.
