Reference for Yi Huizhong To Whom It May Concern:
-ACADEMIC-
It was my pleasure to teach Yi for her third year AD3:Explorations Unit at ESALA, an investigation of the links between cinematic techniques and architecture. Her passion for design and work ethic were consistently evident and resulted in work that continually surprised and challenged. She was able to move comfortably between physical modelling, manual drawing, and computer work, evidence of her strong spatial sensitivities and fluency in the language of architectural representation. It should be clear from Yi’s portfolio that she has tremendous ambition and raw talent. I have full confidence that Yi will make a diligent addition to a design driven studio and apply herself fully to the work. Please do not hesitate to contact me should you require further information. Kind regards, Michael Lewis Visiting Teaching Fellow ESALA E: michael.lewis@ed.ac.uk T: +44 (0)131 651 5786

Places are registered in memory, and the power of those memories in turn infuse designs with special qualities. In studying the community past that informs the landscape of Prestongrange industrial heritage, a consistent growth and decay of buildings and infrastructures as well as shifting boundaries in working and living areas has been found. Restoration of former workers bathhouse built in 1950s to an performing arts centre attempts to reactivate the disintegrated industrial site with a whole field of theatrical events. The processes fabricates modern existence to traces of heavy industrial life cycles, aiming to re-establish connection between land and people, local community and visitors, body and memory. New memory-scape patches up into its everyday landscape nostalgically and poetically, reminding of our personal past and intensity of movemnts on this fractured land. The constrain and support of existing concrete frame and brick wall structure informs the tectonics of new construction by decomposing it into fragmentary features and
reorganizing it into a total living organism with rhythm of growth beyond the silhouette of the past. Decay has been treated as positive norms and becomes part of temporary patterns of inhabitation. Gap between old and new are deliberately left for accelerated decay and open publicness. Other existing walls representing materials of memory are rearranged into permanent inhabitations, reminding the past of industrial history. Mud and modernity, natual and unntural, memory and oblivion, smooth and rough, base and spirit are conflicts in the characteristics of concrete. The material is better described as an unpredictable non-static building process that fuses and constantly associates with speed, dynamism and energy. Limited spaces and intimate platforms on roofscape engages physical movment and visual extension beyond the boundaries of walls or frames, from inside and from afar, providing pleasure for its inhabitants and passerby. As Superstudio stated, ‘The only architecture is our lives.‘

The land was used to filled with noise, sound, sweat air from dawn to twilight, as if it has went into long sleep, into dreaming. The surrounding landscape, their custom and dresses, the daily routine, the ceremonial dances are the narrators of their collecitve memoryscape. The pictures, contracts, payslip, personal timetable, equipment and devices evokes emotional responses and reminds reconnection to community continuity. We imagine the truth of living, from daily and ceremonial routine of colliers that lived on this land. Where the bathhouse is an essential transition place between living and working identity and nourishing the bodily memories in community inhabitation.

The ancient ruins near Basilica di San Nicola in Carcere (41.890753, 12.479411) is an extraodinary multiplicity layers of stories and architectural typologies telling past glory of Roman civilisation. The other building of Thetro Marcello that defines the site were once the second stone theatre in Rome, long served as a social stage in educating and entertaining illeterate citizens in the forms of theatre plays. Now, after two thousand years of civilization, within weathered and eroded walls, live the descendants of the Roman writers and performers. The theatre library is an architectural manifestation of its new layer of these stories. It redissolve new public space into the field, a pause nested yet detached from the ruin ground. Literature expression runs in parallax with theatrical performance in response to specific questions of our identity or existence, in contradiction, in equivocation, or in indecision. One is positioned into intimate engagement with the particularities of individual situations and circumstances, seeking actual or possible structure of the world, to which the body belongs. The programmatic drive of the theatre library choreographs plays, film, philosophy, religion and art into resonate space. If writing is deemed to be a precarious and perniciuous drug, performance would be delimited in space and so to assign place and role in visualisation of books. In this process, its oscillation echos across space between bodily encounter, or conversely, cerebral thinking involves memory and imagination simultaneously.
A theatre of spectacular foyer, rhythmical columns, centralised footlights, spatial intervals, multidirectional stage navigates us through suspended times of serene, tragic, serious and satire

IN MAKING OF THE PLAN A ruin could be described as a half remembered form, a building under assembly is a ruin in reverse. The construction process metaphorically and literally floating in time and space, weaving the building with the ground brutally and accurately, raw and sensuous. The ruin then recedes into landscape, margins with the ground.
The theatre is the last forum where idealism is still an open question. Aristotle summarised six elements for plays - plot, character, thought, language, music, spectacle. Within one evening, within one act, sometimes within one single movement, holy and rough immediately intertwine. 0

NARRATOR-MEMORY, HAVING A WORLD AUTUMN 18 YEAR 3, CINEMATIC SPACE / CINEMATIC TOPOGRAPHY
Film born in the end of 19th Century almost had synchronous developing with modern architecture. Film and modern architecture were having all sorts of ‘dubious’ relationship since 20th century and reach its climax in 1990s. Films narrates broader world and infinite possibilities of happenings. Architects are surrendered to the seduction of film. It is like mirroring our limits and restrictions in reality, for things we are incapable to achieve. Such indulgence is a pity for ourselves and jealousy for their opportunity of having a world. - 12 -

Visual Narrative of Soy Cuba Opening Long Shot Negotiation in subjective camera language coordinate with space, complexity of spatial choreography Made in 1964, directed by Mikhail Kalatozov, Soy Cuba is a collective celebration of Communism, mixing Slavic solemnity with Latin sensuality and decadence. Its acrobatic cinematography set dramatised spatial experience and anticipation through multiple descending layers, from rooftop stage into swimming pool, in a single shot. In hectic associated sequence of high angle shot, wide panning, low angle shot, full shot, close shot and follow shot, the film clip set up character and palce relationship in subjective view under coastal city urban context. In its untimate climax, the tension was released by unprecedented action of vertical drop and subsequent underwater shot.
Spatial Narrative Navigating through Interactive Environment
Above visual reinterpretations scaling from whole to part became an overlaid matrix of spatial choreography and connections. Architecture and film both create space for human inhabitation where film could transcend the boundary of space and time. Cinematic analysis guides architectural design not based on function, but on
choreography of atmosphere, character circulation, pace, centre of attention, focal distance, materiality and consiousness (sound, temperature, shadow) into physical reality. The recording of body and memories is the cornerstone of cinematic space, as well as partial reflection of the true characteristics
of the world. Cinematic architecture is potentially a fictive existence perceived differently from spectator’s subconscious personal memory or ambiguous emotions. The inhabitation of such space is overlapped with narrative time and thoughts, expressed in symbolic images.

Projection: British National Grid
In response to the aging population in Edinburgh Scotland, the Crematorium project rooted in holyrood national park set a memorial space for the laid to rest. Humid prevailing wind from southwest whistles across surrounding urban fabrics of residential, institutional and commercial buildings, reaches the crematorium in serenity, in completed life cycle of local community. Secluded from everyday life, defamiliarised through views and unwrapped in memories, visitors are inevitably confronted with irrevocable death and solitude. Life without death is incomplete. An insomnia pause from daily mudane is perhaps the only glimpse we are permitted to eternity. The experience meander like unstopable river of life, constantly reminds us of a sincere state of living.

Land Area: 23,759 m2 Construction Area: 70,239 m2 Building area: 190,948 m2 (66,933 m2 above ground) Located in west bank of Jiaozhou bay semi-island, Qingdao West Coast New District (with 2,096 square kilometers land area, 5,000 square kilometers of sea area) is the ninth national New District responding to economic development strategies for marine industry coordinaiton and urban integration. Land area for the civic centre project is 105.36 acres (62.36 acres on northside, 43 acres on southside). The project requires design for civic and administrative facilites including Museum of Art, Museum of Science and Technology, Public Library, Public Resources Trading Centre, Administrative Examinations and Approval Centre.
Basement plan for supporting facilites and equipment rooms
Westside of site is residential area arranged in strips, northside of site is local government building arranged symmetrically in axis. From west to east, the urban scale and building correlations increase gradually. Concept for the winning proposal is based on research analysis from Collage City, as traditional city planning value urban space and architecture equally while modern cities merely put landscape as backdrop of buildings. By decreasing the emphasis on building and balancing its relationship with public spaces, the civic complex keep spatial continuity in architectural arrangement. The enclosed city gardens of tranquil atmosphere make up urban pictureque. Rendered arieal view

WALKING THROUGH H I S T O R Y The camera, is actually the perspective box of Durer in front, replicating time and emotion perceived in certain ground and space. The western and oriental interpretaions of tranquility and theatricality in varied building typologies are responses for different timeframe, aesthetic culture, and civil context. The variety in representations is what is being seeked in my journey. Le Corbusier stated that “Architecture is the masterly, correct, and magnificent play of masses brought together in light. Our eyes are made to see forms in light and shades reveal these forms.� Photography responds to architecture in its basic elements of lines, planes, space, surface light, ambience light, detailed shadows from brightest to deepest under filtered sunlight. Architecture transcends its role of inhabitation by richness of material and manipulated human behavious, providing unique angle for social, historical, cultural and personal interpretations. The architecture journeys reveiled the fact that building come from architectural concpets, but grow from the touch and labour of many hands, in trading with time. Through transition and treshold of doors, we anticipat the world beyond, a world of different emotions and scents, or series of worlds in coexisted time. Body being contained in space is the best measuring tool for direction, angle, speed, odor, airflow, touches, voice, weight, atmosphere, perfection or imperfections. Sensuous experiences suggest that buildings are 'real'. Pragmatism in tectonics express ideas from drawings to reality, through the details of door frames, window frames, door handles, walls or openings, treatments and textures.
