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 contemporary

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.

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.

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.

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-

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.

t u r e

Objectives of AAA

The aim of AAA is to acknowledge

exemplary architectural work, and in

doing so, encourage the sustenance

of the Asian spirit, the development

and improvement of the Asian built

environment, and enhancement of the

awareness of the role of architects in the

socio-economic and cultural value of

Asian countries. The AAA also intends

to demonstrate that good architecture

is a major component of the positive

influence on the human environment,

and that physical development in Asia

need not be in disharmony with cultural

values, national identity or the natural

environment of countries in Asia.

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.

On the Water

18


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 –

with a focus on self-ventilation and natural light in order to adapt to the

tropical climate in the south of Vietnam.

Studio Dwelling at Rajagiriya

24


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 ‘flood

garden’, 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.

This multi-storey residence is a project to house all eleven

siblings in a family – each with their own flat, and with an extra two

flats for common usage. 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. A large indoor space that serves as a

multipurpose community hall was designed in the north rooftop,

which is able to accommodate large groups of people, complete

with a large kitchen, toilets and a washing area.

A small dormitory for family, friends and visiting relatives in the

south part of the rooftop was designed with a water court full of

aquatic plants and fish, with an evening terrace stressed endlessly

to the horizon. Among the two common flats, one has been

placed on the ground floor that opens to the courtyard, while

the second common flat is located beneath the roof top community

space. Each flat is approximately 150 sqm, and houses

three bedrooms, three toilets, a kitchen and four verandas. The

flats all share a common spatial sequence – a free-flowing livingdining-family

living space that is connected to the courtyard and

social interaction space, with rooms connected to semi-outdoor

verandas.

The Commons

28


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.

Star Camp Service Center in

Located in Zhangjiajie Forest Park, the Star Camp Service Centre is a base

for outdoor enthusiasts. The site is on a mountaintop that is in the core scenic

area in the park. 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.

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.

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 – 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’.

SECTIONS

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.

Hohhot East Coach Hub

Terminal, Inner Mongolia

46


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 Beijing-

Tianjin- 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.

Hong Kong East

Community Green Station

48


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 construction

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

58


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 China’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.

Demonstration Section of

Yangpu Riverside Public Space

66


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. The once isolated

industrial blocks that occupy the waterfronts are

now intended to be reconnected and transformed

into the longest linear public open space.

The Demonstration Section of Yangpu Riverside

Public Space is the initial stage for the public space

development project of the area. It is highly important

for it is a benchmark not only for the area, but

also for the entire 45km long riverside restoration

project. The project covers the public spaces and

comprehensive environmental remediation projects,

with a total area of about 3.8 hectares and a length

of about 985 metres.

Disappearing Lands:

Supporting Communities

Affected by River Erosion

70


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

Practical Action Bangladesh to help the communities, which are

affected by flood and river erosion in this area. Two major components

of the project were to develop cluster villages and some

multipurpose shelters for the vulnerable communities in the region.

The project also focused on food security and alternative employment

generation for the erosion affected and displaced resource

poor communities through different innovative strategies based on

disaster risk management and vulnerability reduction, adaptation

to climate change issues and building awareness about social,

civil and political rights.

Bangprathun Community

Learning Center

Bangprathun canal was originally a gardening community in

Thonburi since the Ayutthaya period. However, because of an

economic change, social change, and city development, the canal

has decreased in importance from being the main transportation to

becoming simply the city’s drainage. In 2011, a community initiative

saw to the formation of the ‘Rak Bangprathun’ group, which means

to conserve Bangprathun. Part of the initiatives has been to setup

up this project, a community learning centre.

The centre serves as an area to improve the community’s vernacular

knowledge, to create learning activities for the youth in the area,

to be a gathering area for everyone in the community, to house an

agricultural product flea market, and to be a symbol of inheriting

traditional knowledge and livelihoods of the canal gardening community.

The studio itself is a beautiful art structure to engage in – 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.
