Super Tong

My MArch thesis uses Los Angele’s Chinatown in the United States as a case study to examine how to culturally reinterpret Chinatowns when juxtaposed with its physical socio-cultural decline in the greater host society. Both quantitative and qualitative research was done on site to substantiate the possibility of retaining L.A. Chinatown in-line with overall metropolitan development by transposing the conventional horizontal enclave settlement pattern into a densely-compacted vertical tower encapsulating Chinatown. A new building typology called “Super Tong” is presently proposed, serving to agglomerate Chinese benevolent associations and Tongs into one high-rise tower sitting in the heart of the existing Chinatown zoned for commercial use.

Super Tong The Re-imagination and Re-representation of Los Angeles Chinatown This thesis uses Los Angele’s Chinatown as a case study to examine how to culturally reinterpret Chinatowns when juxtaposed with its physical socio-cultural decline in the greater host society. Both quantitative and qualitative research was done on site to substantiate the possibility of retaining L.A. Chinatown in-line with overall metropolitan development by transposing the conventional horizontal enclave settlement pattern into a densely-compacted vertical tower encapsulating Chinatown. 150 years ago, the first Chinese pioneers arrived in California. An enclave of Chinese immigrants was formed in the then burgeoning downtown of 1880s L.A., acting as the heart of mutual social support for newly arrived Chinese immigrants in a strange and foreign land. As more immigrants arrived, various regional and familial-based benevolent associations were formed. At various times, the aggregated L.A. Chinese community was large enough that 5 different areas were known as Chinatowns. Nationwide demographic shifts however diluted the Chinese presence and receding Chinatown’s physical settlement across the continent. This exodus out of and gradual disappearance of the physical ethnic enclave, left only some keystone buildings and hollowed-out associations that attested to a former vibrant Chinese centric ethno-cultural hub. A new building typology called “Super Tong” is presently proposed, serving to agglomerate Chinese benevolent associations and Tongs into one high-rise tower sitting in the heart of the existing Chinatown zoned for commercial use. Through vertical and horizontal re-expression, the Super Tong will manifest Chinatown’s prior boisterous Chinese culture and history again, re-interpret visual and social order, and be a civic nucleus for the Chinese-American community.

The city market is the largest Pre-WWII wholesale produce distribution market operated by the Chinese community serving the whole county. Almost 80% of the produce consumed in LA was grown and distributed by Chinese merchants. Restaurants, groceries, pharmacy and etc were developed in the area.

East Adams was one of the first Chinese American suburbs before San Gabriel Valley emerged due to a lack of residential units in the city center and restrictive housing policy to immigrants. Its primarily residential especially filled with single family house due to the bachelor society.

Developed by social activist Christine Sterling, China City was planned and developed as a tourist spot serving white visitors. Rickshaw rides, movie sets from “The Good Earth” are part of the Chinese countryside themed park that stood for 9 years before it is destroyed by a suspicious fire.

Peter Soohoo was the initiator of New Chinatown, a new Chinese business center serving the Chinese community and operated by Chinese merchants. The area was expanded from the central plaza to western plaza, bamboo plaza and further away in the following decades.

Since suburbanization that happened in the 70s, the New Chinatown has shrunk largely in size and experienced dramatic demographic shifts. Now, majority of the population has been replaced by blacks and Latinos while others have moved to San Gabriel Valley.

D TOWN

LOS ANGELES CHINATOWN history Los Angeles Chinatown has transformed from only 2 Chinese men to 20,000 Chinese residents over 150 years. The Old Chinatown area that was developed along Alameda Street since 1880s has long been a home to Chinese immigrants for over 50 years until the development of the Union Station, the city’s major ground-transportation center. Due to limited land supply and increasing number of immigrants, East Adams and City Center was developed as a residential area and commercial wholesale market respectively in early 20th century. In 1938, New Chinatown and China City was planned as a business hub by Dr Peter Soo Hoo, a Chinese-American and as a tourist spot by Christine Sterling, a Caucasian targeting different users. While the latter was destroyed and never rebuilt in 1949, New Chinatown has continued its development till today. Starting from the 70s, however, large number of inhabitants have moved away to San Gabriel Valley due to suburbanization and new Chinatown has since then experienced diminishing importance to the local Chinese-American community.

LOS ANGELES CHINATOWN history The History of the 5 Chinatowns The 5 Chinatowns were located in different areas and developed very differently in Los Angeles Downtown characterized by thier nature. Old Chinatown being the earliest to emerge is a purely residential ethnic enclave for newly arrived Chinese immigrants to reside and offer mutual help. It was located at the heard of downtown where the present Union Station situated and where Little Italy was. Least amount of Chinese ornamentations were found and their settlement pattern was mostly linear with a large majority being tenants. Due to the huge population, people soon moved to East Adams in 1920s also mainly as a residential squad quite far away from downtown benealth little Tokyo. It was believed to be the first “suburb” in LA where Chinese still remained as tenants due to limitations caused by the federal laws. As business grew, city market, China City and New Chinatown was developed in 1900s and 1930s respectively to cater for Chinese merchants and businessman. While the former successfully developed into a wholesale market while Chinese owners start to own their business and land, both the later were in competition upon demolition of Old Chinatown and developed as a tourist spot and commercial center respectively.The later were located at the present Chinatown and remained a focal point for oversea Chinese for a long time.

ajority of the land in Chinatown today is destined to commercial purposes, especially towards the east. Differ from common believe, majority of the buildings present in Chinatown today purely conduct commercial activities or have mixed residential-commercial purposes. The remaining Chinese that resides in the area mainly elderly or new immigrants that could not afford to move to nearby suburbs. The poor and cramped living conditions have caused majority of the Chinese to move to suburbs in search for higher living standards, better living conditions, and better infrastructure and amenities.

L.A. chinatown development plans Recent & Planned Developments in 50 Years Time According to the Los Angeles City Council and Curbed LA, the whole Los Angeles Downtown area will undergo treamondous redeveopment and remake spanning across 20 to 50 years time from now. The Civic Center District tops the agenda by nailing down a redevelopment master plan that includes 6 phrases spanning from 2017 to 2032. Recent completion of the SOM-designed Los Angeles U.S. DIstrict Courthouse and the forthcoming First and Broadway park by Mia Lehrer + Associates and OMA marked the embarment of the master plan. The plan aims to convert the purpose-built bureaucratic and administrative quarter into a “Civic Innovation District”and establish City Hall as the visual and conceptual locus for an area that would stitch together the nearby neighborhoods and the Chinatown area. The current Chinatown is now also seeing a surge in interest from developers including high reise commerical and residential projects that will fill in vacant lots and redevelop old, torn down buildings.The lots near the LA State Historic Park is one of the area of focus. 1

enevolent Associations in Los Angeles Chinatown have existed over 150 years, even before the founding of the Old Chinatown in 1880s. The organization and categorization of associations reflect the complexity of economic system, urban life and contemporary politics in America. They are end-products of the interactions between Chinese and American society and directly derived from the principles of the Chinese community, such as kinship, dialectal similarities and secret societies. While some societies are shaped by political events, others were formulated initially to provide mutual help and support among overseas Chinese.

SUPER TONG

The Design

The Vertical Evolution inspired by Charles Jenck Site Strategy & relations with surroundings Agglomeration of Benevolent Associations Allocation of Associations & Programs

he meaning of the project, “Super Tong”, is threefold. While it represents the agglomeration of benevolent associations, also called Tongs by many Chinese-Americans, into one single tower, “Super” also revealed hidden meanings of the Chinese, or China in general, as a rising super power, where the tower is situated at the center of Chinatown, just opposite to the power of focus of the federal government. The name also made referenced to the author’s surname “Tong” which contributed to a triple meaning in the naming of the project. The project takes the assumption that the initiator of the project is the president of the CCBA and would like to search for a new location and new building for the headquarters for his association. CCBA is currently managing 27 associations while others are operating on their own. The current 5-storied CCBA headquarters was completed in 1952 and floors are either rented out as temporary venues for holding offices or office spaces for CCBA members to work and handle daily matters. Due to redevelopment plans of the overall Los Angeles downtown area, the whole Chinatown is expected to be redeveloped and relocated. The project will accommodate all the remaining buildings and headquarters for the associations and serve as a reminiscence of the then-relocated or diminished Chinatown, and eventually, create a new building typology.

02 The First project in MArch involves the central harborfront where all students in HKU participates. My platform, ecologies, deals with problems related to the ecosystem, the water system, vegetation and etc along the harborfront. Inspired the fragmented nature of land along the harbour, my project looked into differences in materiality of pavings that exist in HK due to ownership and maintenance problems. I later narrowed down the project into looking at spontaneous vegetation that occurs and grow in pavements which in turn provided opportunities for architectural intervention through passive and active addition, subtraction and modifications. Several parameters were set to focus the project into an architectural intervention.

- Especially Masonry Facade and Stone Walls - Decay of Limestone cliff foster develompent of spontaneous vegetation

Junction between Building Facades & Pavers

- Different compostition of different materials may foster different chemical reactions, erosion and decay to occur

Collision of Materials

- Oil from cars, nutrients and moisture available can react to foster occurence of decay and erosion of materials

oncrete requires minimal intervention, while paving blocks require moderate intervention and media strips required highest intervention. These two types of paving are the most common in Hong Kong as both footpaths and carriageways while median strips are everywhere in viaducts and highways. Along with the master plan, these diagrams and photomontages serve as an imagination or prediction how controlled spontaneous vegetation growth will eventually end up with, with the harbourfront being the starting and testing spot.

Toilet revolution (Partially collaborated)

03 Toileting is the essence of human existence since as far as 5000BC. The form and location of public toilets reflect the way humanity treats its own body. The Toilet Revolution is a government campaign introduced by the Chinese government in 2015 aimed at improving the sanitary conditions in Mainland China and improving the social image of both urban and rural areas. From 2015 to 2017, over 68000 public toilets were constructed in China. However, many parts of rural China still suffer from poor sanitary conditions and millions are still unable to enjoy a clean private cubicle for themselves. The project therefore targeted at a primary boarding school in Lianghe, Yunnan where a dry toilet product, the DehTiet Ecological Sanitation System, is accommodated in different toilet design schemes.

his design proposal is based on a linear toilet system: where toilets are arranged in a linear manner according to gender, privacy, location of the washing basin, water treatment plants and etc. The design is based on 3 concepts - Dry VS Wet Programs within the toilet, Wet VS Dry areas within the school area and Adjacent Village VS Primary School . The play of gender, dry and wet, agglomeration and seperation have made this toilet arrangements very unique in terms of spatial qualities.

Reviving yuen long hui KAHEI TONG PORTFOLIO

04 The project is under the studio of cultural dispersion where it explores different forms and scale of cultural dispersion in HK with West Kowloon District as the center. Rather than choosing urban sites such as Kowloon Tong and Central, the project chose Yuen Long as the site of intervention given its long historic and cultural background dating back to the Song Dynasty. Markets existed as early as the 17th century where locals trade local produces to one another in the now Narm Bin Wai. This tradition has passed on centuries and centuries until the over-population and over-crowding situation became more and more serious. Today, the only place that locals can shop is confined to shopping malls and an old building. This project sought to trace back Yuen Long’s cultural roots through establishing temporary market areas in the Kau Hui area.

eveloped in the Song Dynasty and started flourishing in the Ming Dynasty, Yuen Long is one of the oldest and earliest developed district of Hong Kong. Originally swamped with farmlands and fish ponds, Yuen Long now contains the youngest population of Hong Kong with more and more young families moving in to the nearby Kam Tin area.

DEVELOPED SINCE THE MING DYNASTY Established in Late Ming Dynasty. The market for villagers to sell their crops, produce, daily necessities and etc was moved north to Yuen Long Kau Hui in Qing Dynasty. Shophouses, inns, houses and tempers with street sellers clustered along the streets and villages with walls are formed. The market was later moved north to the area near the present day MTR station in1915. Yuen Long New Town was developed in mid-1970s.

Primary Industry

he long tradition of going to a “Hui” (market) that has developed since 1669 (Ming Dynasty) for locals to sell local daily produce have long been forgotten. The shift in scale and location of the “Hui” from the extensive open space between Narm Bin Wai and Sai Bin Wai (Kau Hui) in Ming Dynasty to Hop Yik Market in the Castle Peak Road in 1914, to the single-block Hop Yik Plaza in 1960s has perhaps signified the diminishing importance of going to a “Hui” today.

Pre 1840 Back in the Song Dynasty, the Tang Clan first settled in this plot of land and established their walled villages. More halls, temples, pagodas, ancestral halls, fishing villages were established in late Ming Dynasty as more villagers move to the area.

1950s

The colonization of Hong Kong h sively transformed the district in even after the lease of NT to Government. However, the popu in the post-war period caused m and houses to be built.

The government started to develop Yuen Long as a new town in 1970s. Designed as a compact city, shouphouses and buildings were packedly built in the city centre. Land reclaimation took place in 1980s to provide more land for future developments.

As buildings in the city centre were mostly developed in the 60s and the problem of overcrowding is getting more and more serious, redevelopment started to took place along the periperhy of the downtown through massive residential and comemrcial developments aiming to regenerate the district.

For instance the Mongolia elective in 2018 summer have gave me experience in doing real life constructions of constructing a Ger in Mongolia with bare hands, wood and primitive wood cutting machines. Other electives such as landscape related and urban planning related ones have also gave me opportunities to get in touch with areas that I am not familiar with but interested in. I have also explored widely into BIM, especially Revit during my days in BArch, where nearly all 3D models were builtt out of Revit including structural analysis.

Building happiness KAHEI TONG PORTFOLIO

06 “Art must contribute to mental health, power and pleasure” said John Ruskin in the Seven Lamps of Architecture. In my final year graduation project, I was to construct a building that could last for 2000 years in Ouseburn Valley in Newcastle, UK. The project explores the way of achieving social sustainability in the long now by constructing a building that brings people together, develop inter-personal relationships and react with the tnature in Ouseburn. The building consists of 3 vital natural elements that could last eternally, namely water, greenery, sky. Their existence supports the continuation of human life.

Interactive Bird Hide

The project is to design a bird hide in Washington Wetland Park, Durham that could lasts for 200 years. The unique-shaped interactive bird hide has an undulating surface comprising of different sizes of pentagons and triangles. Triangular bamboo panels act as a strong support favoring its long time frame, while pentagonal tilt-able panels are large in size and encouraged interaction between users and the nature. This installation allow users to freely tilt wooden panels at any degrees and create different views according to their desire. It is also easy to install, repair and replace, favoring the long time frame that it will exist.

Living on the edge KAHEI TONG PORTFOLIO

07 The project is to design a foyer along Lime Street in Newcastle’s Ouseburn Valley, which is an integrated learning and accommodation center providing safe and secure housing, support and training for disadvantaged young people. It is hoped that youngsters could make a positive contribution to their local community and regain self-confidence through education, training and support from one another. The building includes a residents’ flats, tutors’ flats, an exhibition space and a glassblowing workshop. The main feature of the design is that different zones were separated by “connectors” located in the middle part of the building, acting as a connecting agent to delineate different zones and provide diversifying experiences.

Prospect and Refuge KAHEI TONG PORTFOLIO

08 The project is to design an educational building to be used for Newcastle University in the harbor town of Amble. It would be a community building providing learning, employment, and gather people together. The major constraint is the building could only be in cubical form. I was largely inspired by SANAA’s Zollverein School in Essen with numerous square-shaped windows throughout the building, creating an illusion that people from the outside could harldy distinguish the floors. The facade openings were designed according the amount of daylight and privacy required in different spaces, which in turn creates a geometrical language of its own.

In collaborations with structural engineering students, a temporary busking shelter located in a quayside chare [a narrow alleyway of stairs that date back from medieval times to link the Tyne River to the city center] in Newcastle that is physically feasible in reality was designed. Working in plan was not allowed and everything had to be presented in sections and models. The final output is an exhibiton with two videos that could portray the atmosphere by using music, large scaled models and drawings.The Lattice canopies that were suspended were designed to define the space without physically and visually affecting the site.

urban delights KAHEI TONG PORTFOLIO

11 Urban Delights involves designing a cookery school, demanding three dimensional manipulation and emphasising the experience and qualities of space. The project was divided into two sessions, the feast and the design of the cookery school. The feast is a group project that students create a feast after attending artist-led workshops, learning ways of exploring forms and qualities of space. Students have to design the space including incorporation of different eating utensils for users to have different eating experience. It is a primer. Whereas for the design, students were not allowed to use any computer software but hands for representations. Small and large scaled models were also required to explore qualities of spaces.

experience hpa

12 My 9-month year out experience in ho & partners is short yet rewarding. Although I was not laregly involved in large scale projects like high-rise buildings or infrastructre, I designed small scaled district level projects that heavily engage with locals and local representatives and the government. Designing parks and covered walkways from scratch to tendering and thus construction is quite a unique experience to me as I seldom do such small scale projects in school. Other than project design, I was also heavily egaged in project management including communication with government officials and do presentaitons in district council monthly meetings. I was also involved in other projects that involve presentations and meetings including a high-rise fashion building .
