    The Politics Underlying the Art Movements in China During two key Ten-year Periods: {1945-1955 Liberation} and {1985-1995 Opening} by David Harrison O'Dell [email protected] www.texasdavid.com/export/index.html Under the mentorship of Dr. Janice Leoshko The University of Texas at Austin, Department of Asian Studies Research term: Beijing, CHINA 1995-1997 Written term: Beijing, CHINA 1996-1997 Added revisions / pictures: 2000 to present (Xiao Guo Fu, Morgan) 1 Politics behind the Arts in China – David O’Dell This thesis is divided into two chronological parts that I chose as representing modern Chinese art at its most vibrant. I state now that I don't see the Cultural Revolution as containing much positive influence at all; therefore I saddle my research periods before and after it. In my opinion it seems that more people find the Cultural Revolution, a period of warped societal possession, strikingly interesting, I however do not. I personally find the Liberation period of the 1940's-the spirit that drove a burgeoning young Communist party to fight for China's independence-contrasted with the New Reform period of the 1980's-the time in which the battle for artistic independence is waged while new technologies and new ideas are assimilated into everyday life-to be incredibly insightful and ripe with valuable lessons for tomorrow's China. Part One takes the Chinese art world of the Liberation period, art being a normally "qualitative" entity, and describes it "quantitatively" through the policies issued by the CCP that steered art's path during the years preceding and following Liberation.

    Dynamic Elasto-Plastic Analysis of a Super High-Rise Hybrid Structure

    th The 14 World Conference on Earthquake Engineering October 12-17, 2008, Beijing, China DYNAMIC ELASTO-PLASTIC ANALYSIS OF A SUPER HIGH-RISE HYBRID STRUCTURE JIANG Jun1 HAO Jiping1 HU Ming2 LI Kangning2 LI Yangcheng1 YOU Bing2 1 School of civil Engineering, Xi’an University of Architecture & Technology, Xi’an, China 2 LANTO Consulting Architects & Engineers Co.,Ltd ,Shenzhen ,China Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT : Dynamic elasto-plastic analysis methods can actually indicate the characteristic of structure, and it is considered as an accurate method. This paper is concerned with the seismic performance evaluation of a super high-rise hybrid structure on a background of project by using nonlinear dynamic procedure (NDP). By reasonable selection of input ground motions which include three natural earthquake records and a group of artificial waves, and based on some assumptions and considerations, the nonlinear dynamic analyses are carried out by using CANNY program. Then the seismic responses of hybrid structure under three different earthquake intensities are obtained. Comparing the responses of three levels with preestablished performance objective, the results show that all responses meet the requirements. At the same time, the inter-storey shear drifts are mentioned to judge the seismic behaviors of hybrid structure. Based on the large amount of structural response information, conclusion can be drawn that the super high-rise hybrid structure achieves the earthquake performance objective. KEYWORDS: hybrid structure, dynamic analysis, resorting force model, inter-storey drift 1. INTRODUCTION With the development of performance-based seismic design (PBSD), the more demands for performance of buildings need to be indicated by structural engineers.

    Jazz in Beijing Royal Hartigan I Received an Invitation from the Beijing

    Jazz In Beijing royal hartigan I received an invitation from the Beijing MIDI Contemporary Music School to perform in their 2004 Music Festival on May 1-3. You can imagine how excited I and the members of my ensemble were. Even though I visited the school in 1999 and 2001 during the summer vacation, this time I hoped to not only witness the bustling activities of the music festival hosted by the school but also experience the close interactions among students, faculty, staff, and our ensemble members during our two-week residency from April 27 to May 10. After considerable planning with the MIDI School’s director, Mr. Zhang Fan, the four members of my group were able to arrive in Beijing from different cities and were met by representatives of the school. Ethnomusicologist Weihua Zhang also joined our residency as an assistant and interpreter. I had previously given a workshop in August 1999 on African rhythms for drumset at the school when it was located at Shangti, a northern suburb of Beijing. The students and faculty were very receptive at that time and were interested in my subsequent return to their community. In July 2001 I returned with saxophonist David Bindman and contrabassist Wes Brown, performing in the Beijing area, and we visited the school for an open rehearsal in its new campus near the Fragrant Mountain. It was there that we met Liu Xiaoguang, a composer, saxophonist, and pianist. Mr. Zhang Fan had arranged for Liu to join our ensemble for some of our performances. The Ensemble In our recent visit from April 27 to May 10, 2004, we had a very strong ensemble.
  • Economics Planning of Super Tall Buildings in Asia Pacific Cities

    Economics Planning of Super Tall Buildings in Asia Pacific Cities

    Economics Planning of Super Tall Buildings in Asia Pacific Cities Dr Paul H K HO, Hong Kong SAR, China Key words: economics planning, super tall building, Asia Pacific SUMMARY The purpose of this paper is to study the economics planning of super tall office buildings in Asia Pacific cities. This study is based on the case study of the Asia Pacific’s 10 tallest buildings which are distributed over six major cities. All are landmark buildings with similar functions. From the analysis of the collected data, the floor plate of these buildings is comparatively large, thus achieving a fairly high lettable to gross floor ratio of about 80% and low wall to floor area ratio of about 0.33. The most common lease span is approximately 12m with column-free between its service core and exterior window. The most common floor-to-floor height is about 4.0m. Square or similar plan is the most common geometry in super tall buildings since this geometry offers the same stiffness in both directions against lateral wind forces. Typically the building is in form of a large podium at lower levels with a setback in the overall floor plan dimension in the main tower and a slightly tapered shape at its top floors. The central core approach in which the core is designed as a structural element to provide stability is commonly used in super tall buildings. By using slip-form or jump-form techniques, a 3 to 4-day cycle is achievable for core wall construction which is similar to steel construction.

Richmond, Dean of the College of Music Victor Prybutok, Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Pockrus, Jason. The Saxophone in China: Historical Performance and Development. Doctor of Musical Arts (Performance), August 2018, 222 pp., 12 figures, 1 appendix, bibliography, 419 titles. The purpose of this document is to chronicle and describe the historical developments of saxophone performance in mainland China. Arguing against other published research, this document presents proof of the uninterrupted, large-scale use of the saxophone from its first introduction into Shanghai’s nineteenth century amateur musical societies, continuously through to present day. In order to better describe the performance scene for saxophonists in China, each chapter presents historical and political context. Also described in this document is the changing importance of the saxophone in China’s musical development and musical culture since its introduction in the nineteenth century. The nature of the saxophone as a symbol of modernity, western ideologies, political duality, progress, and freedom and the effects of those realities in the lives of musicians and audiences in China are briefly discussed in each chapter. These topics are included to contribute to a better, more thorough understanding of the performance history of saxophonists, both native and foreign, in China.

One of the most important reasons driven the achievement is the continuously evolvement of structural systems. In this paper, previous classifications of structural systems are summarized and different types of structural systems are introduced. Besides the structural systems, innovations in other aspects of today's design of high-rise buildings including damping systems, construction techniques, elevator systems as well as sustainability are presented and discussed.
