Location: Shenzhen, China

Architect: Rushan Hu

Date Built: 2021

Typology: Hotel

Social Value:

In the phenomenon of urban village renewal that has attracted much attention in recent years, the Youxiong Hotel in Nantou Ancient City, Shenzhen, designed by Neri & Hu, is undoubtedly a typical case. The ancient city area where the project is located reflects the collision between history and the present in the process of urban spatial change in Shenzhen, and the boutique guest house transformed by the self-built residential houses in the urban village also challenges the inherent typology of traditional hotel design from site selection to spatial organization.

Through the design of the building, the relationship of "seeing" and "being seen" between the hotel visitors and the original residents is equal and interactive: the hotel visitors become the "other" of the village life in the city, spontaneously paying attention to the panorama of life in the community; The village's indigenous people can also perceive life in the hotel's public space without obstacles and examine the changes that urbanization has brought to their own lives. As the lead architect Ruen mentioned in the interview, the most special achievement of the project is its community participation and positive impact on the daily life of the surrounding neighborhood.

Reasons:

a. Hu Rushan is my favorite designer.

Ms. Hu was selected as one of the 40 outstanding young designers under 40 in Greater China by the prestigious design magazine PERSPECTIVE Magazine.

b. This building is a good example of the coexistence of old and new.

In her book "The Future of Nostalgia," Svetlana Boym defines two types of "Nostalgia," "Reflective Nostalgia," which favors "miss" over "old," It is not a restoration of the past home and life, but a utopia with the nature of exploring the future. This discourse also provides a theoretical basis for discussing Ruen's practice in Nantou Ancient City. First, urban renewal aims to pursue higher quality of life, spatial efficiency and economy. Secondly, the community network and collective memory of urban village life should also be treated well and cherished. Therefore, Youxiong Hotel provides a phased reference for the spatial upgrading of urban villages, rather than the end of individual self-renewal. Architecture should integrate into the community with an open attitude and adjust itself according to changes in the external environment. Compared with the more static transformation of historical buildings or industrial relics, the environment of urban villages in Shenzhen is dynamic and full of tension. If the revitalization of traditional historical architecture emphasizes the transformation of "old" to "new" and "self" to "other" values, then the spatial practice of Nantou Ancient City reflects its connection with the past, present and future of the city, showing the unity of subject and object values. If we look at the temporal and spatial changes of the ancient city from a more macroscopic perspective, the effect of "self is other" is more obvious: the community is slowly changed because of the spatial activation of the individual buildings, and the individual buildings also reshape their own personality because of the integration of the community.

c. This building presents a design approach that allows outsiders and indigenous residents to communicate well.

At the base position, the public parts of the hotel sit flat to blend into the background of the urban village. However, the juxtaposition of coarse wood concrete, smooth stone and metal creates a defamiliarization of the perceptual level, which is the most skillful material strategy used by Ruen. The benches at the entrance outwards reflect the characteristics of "urban furniture" and create a space for dialogue between the visitors and the villagers through the openings and Windows. In the middle layer of the hotel, Ruen handles the space in the most controlled way, and the corrugated perforated aluminum sheet material is wrapped to bring a semi-transparent visual experience. On the top floor, a metal structure bar is added to emphasize the upward dynamic force to increase the building's visibility to the site. The open treatment of the roof helps to alleviate the cramped urban village experience. In addition, community rooftop life, which is connected with each other but with different personalities, is an important way to reconstruct the value of public space in urban villages.

Casa Museo Nivola

# data[].attributes.body
Location: Shanghai, China

Architect name: Wenjing Huang

Date built: 2019

Typology and social value: Art Museum, a public art space, a new cultural landmark in Shanghai

Reason for choosing/selecting this building：

1. This art museum was transformed from an abandoned aviation fuel tank. The process of transforming industrial heritage into cultural spaces reflects the participation and influence of female architects in urban renewal.

2. In the era when aviation fuel tanks were built, women could not even receive education universally. However, in the 21st century, this aviation fuel tank was transformed by a capable woman with a good educational background, highlighting the changes of the times. Women have been allowed to receive education for only a few hundred years, yet they have achieved so much.

3. Historical and Educational Value: The reuse of industrial heritage provides a case study for discussing the role of female architects in preserving history and education.

The three core issues that make this a modern building：

1. Functional innovation and spatial transformation: Tank Shanghai transforms industrial sites into cultural spaces, reflecting the innovative reuse of old structures in modern architecture.

2. Environmental Responsibility and Social Culture: The center emphasizes harmonious coexistence with the environment and serves as a platform to promote social interaction and cultural diversity, showcasing the social responsibility of modern architecture.

3. Progressiveness of technology and materials: The Oil Tank Art Center uses modern technology and materials to improve the functionality and aesthetics of the building, while providing visitors with a better experience.

Location: Xi'an City, Shaanxi Province, China

Architect name: Jinqiu. Zhang

Date built: Completed on 06.20.1991

Social value: It is the first large-scale national museum with modern facilities in China. Shaanxi History Museum is a high platform and group combination building built according to the layout of the palace courtyard.

Reason for choosing: Shaanxi is of great historical significance as the ancient capital of more than 13 feudal dynasties in ancient China, and the cultural relics unearthed here are of high cultural value. Jinqiu. Zhang, as the first female academician in China, demonstrated her deep understanding of Chinese culture and Chinese architecture in such an important project.

Architect Name: Alison Brooks (Alison Brooks Architects)

Date Built: 2021

Typology and social value: The Mesh house is a single-family residential dwelling. However, it differs in the design where it is more complex compared to a typical residence. This can be seen through the focus on sustainable and biophilic design principles. The house conveys how homes can embody environmental responsiveness alongside visual originality with fulfilling residential needs. The house combines contemporary design while also appreciating local architecture traditions. This can be seen from its lattice-like façade.

The Mesh house portrays a commitment to low-impact living where it supports rising awareness of how homes can blend with nature, rather than disturbing it. Passive colling and natural materials are integrated to promote sustainable living.

Reason of selecting: I have chosen this house as it is a influential example of eco-conscious design where it shows how harmony can be achieved between architecture and the environment. It also acts as an inspiration for future residential design setting a standard that will support human comfort and ecological health.

Three core issues:

1 – Aesthetics is combined with functionality in the woven façade that acts as a functional shading device

2 – Materials and forms that reflect traditional architecture are used while also implementing modern construction techniques

3 – The house incorporates biophilic design in which natural ventilation and large windows are integrated to create a connection to the nature outside.

Location: Qinhuangdao,China

Architect name: OPEN Architecture

Date built: 2018

Typology and social value:

The UCCA Dune Art Museum is carved into the sand, where it gently disappears. The reason why the art museum is created underneath the dunes was the reverence for nature and desire to protect the vulnerable dune ecosystem, because in light of the museum, these sand dunes will be preserved instead of leveled to make space for ocean-view real estate developments.

Reason for choosing/selecting this building:

OPEN Architecture was founded by female architect Wenjing Huang and Hu Li in 2003. Her work has always had a special style. Her design is very delicate, and she can pay attention to the society, the environment and many factors. The museum, located in a special sand dune setting, has a striking design concept and outcome.

The three core issues that make this a modern building:

1. Simplicity: The Dune Art Museum is in unique style with simple shapes and lines.

2. Open space: The internal space is continuous and airy, with introduce of natural light.

3. Environmental friendly: The design of the art museum is mainly considered of the protection of the natural habitat if sand dunes in Qinhuangdao.

Location - city and country: Lagos,Nigeria

Architect name: Tosin Oshinowo

Date built: December 2017

Typology and social value

The Fowóralé House is a beautiful example of modern architecture that doesn’t shy away from cultural values. This building is a private beach house, therefore provides a sense of privacy, allowing for intimate family and community gatherings, creating a separate space from the densely populated city of Lagos. As such, the house becomes a vessel through which memories and bonds can be created. This level of privacy is representative of the social status of the client.

As a private space, the building is therefore a symbol of the social status and identity of the clients. Situated in Lagos the design displays subtle motifs and traditional patterns, taking these aspects and adapting them to modern living requirements. One such example is the stepping stones across the infinity pool, to emulate rocks in a village stream. By incorporating elements that resonate with the local community, the house promotes pride in Nigerian culture.

The building demonstrates the harmonious relationship between indoors and outdoors, showcasing a core value in Nigerian culture. The structure frames the vertical and horizontal views of the calm beach environment (Which remain largely undeveloped) making use of many arches and pathways. In addition to this, the building features an open floor plan, leading into terraces and gardens, embracing the environment. By embracing the environment, the building becomes a role model for future urban development in the area.

Reason for choosing/selecting this building

I chose this house as it is a prime example for how traditional forms and Nigerian heritage can enrich contemporary architecture.  Also, by choosing this building I would be highlighting an underrepresented voice in architecture, that of a black woman. The building shows the potential for urban development in Lagos. An issue with urban development is the lack of respect for heritage and culture, and so the building ends up as a carbon copy of buildings found in western cities.

The three core issues that make this a modern building

Fowóralé House is a remarkable example of modern architecture in Nigeria. Many aspects of the building classify it as a modern building. One of which being its integration with the environment. First evident in its passive design features, like natural ventilation, and water harvesting. As well as this, the building highlights the environment framing it, using a series of arches and openings within the open plan of the building.

Another feature is the functional flexibility of the building, evident in the open floor plan, making it easy to use spaces for different functions. As well as this the building is heavily connected to outdoor spaces, blurring the boundaries between the internal and external spaces, making it easy to use for different gatherings.

Finally, the minimalist design aesthetics, utilising clean lines and hard edges. Common to modern architecture, the house utilises clean edges and finishes. This aesthetic enforces the modernist ideal of simplicity in design. To achieve this minimalist aesthetic, the building utilises modern materials, such as concrete, glass, and steel, creating a sense of solidity. The choice of these materials also enforces the modernist notion of avoiding aging of materials.

Location: Reading, England

Architect: Katie Duggan

Date Built: October 2021

Typology: Church Redevelopment for local community.

Reason: I clearly remember the church before, having visited several times, and remember the full construction process. Also, the community has ties to the scout group I was part of and as such I know several members of the community at the church.

3 modern aspects:

Material choice of the extension provides a modern contrast with the original flint walls of the church. These materials also have a high thermal mass, allowing the building to keep on maintaining a more constant temperature inside and improving the comfort of the occupants.

The function as a cafe and bookshop alters the function of the church to more of a community hub, than solely a place of worship, a feature that modernizes the use cases of the building.

The new south-facing glass-fronted seating space acts as a means of increasing direct sunlight into the spaces of the church and will improve thermal energy gain, which will help to heat the large spaces within the church.

Building's name: Maryland Mall

Location (town, City, Country): Ikeja, Lagos, Nigeria

Architect name: Tosin Oshinowo

Date Built: 2016

Typology and Social Value: This is a commercial building, featuring entertainment facilities, office space, jewelry stores, clothing stores, restaurants, pharmacy, cinemas and other retail outlets. Over years, this building becomes a community center that has encouraged both small and large businesses a substantial increase in the economic growth in Lagos State.

Reason for choosing this building: The Maryland Mail reflects ideal blend of the Modern African Design and the functionality. It combines high to Lagos advancement in becoming a grown urban and global city while persevering local cultural heritage with it modern facilities. This building draws attention to how can be useful for both economical and social impact in Nigeria.

The three core issues that makes the building modern:

1. Minimalist design/ aesthetics through the use of glass facades and clear building lines,

2. sustainability through the use of local sourced materials, efficient energy system and it concern to human comfort and architectural consciousness

3. cultural relevance, still maintaining Lagos identity designs while suiting people’s needs.
