  • The Environment and Feng Shui Application in Cheong Fatt Tze Mansion, Penang, Malaysia
    Eco-Architecture VII 1 THE ENVIRONMENT AND FENG SHUI APPLICATION IN CHEONG FATT TZE MANSION, PENANG, MALAYSIA AZIZI BAHAUDDIN & TEH BOON SOON School of Housing, Building and Planning, Universiti Sains Malaysia, Penang, Malaysia ABSTRACT Feng Shui, literarily translated as wind and water, forms part of the Chinese traditional architecture theory. The philosophy aims to achieve harmonious equilibrium among nature, buildings and people. It continues to be used in dwelling site selections and layout of buildings as well as in the environmental planning, especially in the Form School Feng Shui school of thought. It focuses on site analysis, landscapes and building placements with emphasis on designing with nature and the environment. This Feng Shui approach can be traced in the building design of the Peranakan style architecture of Cheong Fatt Tze Mansion, a unique architecture in George Town, Penang. It is a mix of Chinese, Malay and colonial building styles. Unfortunately, this mansion has not been verified with the Feng Shui approach in relating the architecture with nature, despite a claim that was made of its application and for other buildings of the same style. This study addresses the cultural sensitivity of this architecture as a case study in embracing nature for its Feng Shui application. Qualitative analysis was employed to determine whether the design of this mansion corresponded well with favourable architectural conditions placed in the environment as stated in the Form School approach. The method applied included measured drawings, ethnography study of the Peranakan culture, interviews with identified Feng Shui masters and the mansion’s owners. The mansion’s architectural design conformed to the philosophy adapted from the Form School approach, especially in the architectural language.

While en route to the Western Ocean between 1405 and 1433, a fleet led by an envoy of the Ming dynasty, Admiral Cheng Ho, visited several times the Malacca Sultanate, which was centred in the modern-day state of Malacca, Malaysia. As a result, some Chinese chose to stay back in Malacca and married the locals.

    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Repository@USM 2nd INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON BUILT ENVIRONMENT IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES (ICBEDC 2008) PILOT SURVEY ON THE CONSERVATION OF HISTORICAL BUILDINGS IN MALAYSIA Kamarul Syahril Kamal¹, Lilawati Ab Wahab¹ and Assoc. Prof. Dr. A. Ghafar Ahmad² University Technology MARA¹, University Science Malaysia² [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] ABSTRACT: Historic buildings basically represents the single most visible aspect of our past history and culture. Like most other countries in the world, Malaysia has a rich legacy of historic buildings with outstanding craftsmanship and architecture quality. They form an impressive historic features and heritage of the past work of man. It is important to conserve and preserve historic buildings because they provide a sense of identity and continuity in a fast changing world for future generations. However some of these buildings are at risk from defects and are not being well cared for due to lack of technical knowledge and high cost of repair and maintenance. The purpose of this paper intends to highlight the existing conditions of historical buildings in Malaysia with the main focus on the conditions of building defects and conservation approach to these buildings. To do so, a pilot survey has been conducted on several heritage towns and cities based on the existing heritage trail in Malaysia. The broad objective of this pilot survey is to examine the level of building defects and the location of building defects that normally occur at various types of historical buildings in Malaysia.

  • Culturing on the Borderlands—A Critical Ethnography On
    CULTURING ON THE BORDERLANDS—A CRITICAL ETHNOGRAPHY ON TAIWANESE AND CHINESE TRANSNATIONAL PRACTICES Hsin-I Cheng A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 2006 Committee: Alberto González,, Advisor Robert M. Buffington Graduate Faculty Representative Bettina Heinz John T. Warren Copyright 2006 Hsin-I Cheng All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Alberto González The U.S.-Mexico border has long been a site for cultural intermix and struggles as the global territories become more connected for capital flows. Such a space has drawn researchers from various disciplines to understand the impacts of the high as well as unequal volume of traveling. This ethnography critically examines the everyday communicative activities enacted and cultural identities (per)formed by a group of Taiwanese and Chinese transnationalists who arrived to the borderlands of El Paso and Juárez in the beginning of the 21st century. Rather than viewing culture as static, this research approaches it as an active creature which changes and grows through communication—traveling and dwelling on the border. This dissertation narrates daily interactions where space such as El Paso is (re)constructed during daily interactions in relations to places of Taiwan, China, Mexico, and the United States. Moreover, these relationships are ordered hierarchically, thus places are fixed in to ranked spaces. This spatial hierarchy then serves as the logic determining which communicative activities are to be engaged in on the El Paso/ Juárez border. Drawing mainly from S. Hall, H. Bhabha, and G. Anzaldúa, cultural identities are understood as processes of hybridizations.

  • The Co-Creation and Circulation of Brands and Cultures
    The Co-creation and Circulation of Brands and Cultures: Historical Chinese Culture, Global Fashion Systems, and the Development of Chinese Global Brands Submitted by Zhiyan, Wu to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Management Studies in October 2010 This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. Signature: 吴志艳 1 Abstract This dissertation is a study of the possibilities and processes of constructing strong Chinese brands in the global marketplace. It investigates conceptual and strategic relationships between brands and cultures, focusing specifically on the issue of the unprivileged position of Chinese brands vis-à-vis that of other famous global counterparts. Accordingly, it deploys three illustrative cases from the Chinese context – Jay Chou (a successful Chinese music artist), the 2008 Beijing Olympics opening ceremony, and Shanghai Tang (a global Chinese fashion brand). In so doing, it moves away from the general trend to study the managerial aspects of Western brand building in Chinese contexts, and instead examines how Chinese brands express cultural aspects of their own well-known brand development models in the global marketplace. In short, this study uses a Chinese vantage to examine the emergence of cultural branding (using historical culture and global fashion systems to develop global brands), and its capacity to function as a useful complement to existing models of brand globalisation and global brand culture.

  • Cheong Fatt Tze Mansion
    54 Chapter 2: Policy Measures @ Heritage.Conservation Section 3: Experiences of Adaptive re-use in Mainland China and Overseas Chapter 2: Policy Measures @ Heritage.Conservation Section 3: Experiences of Adaptive re-use in Mainland China and Overseas Introduction “Adaptive re-use” is not only an important concept in Hong Kong’s heritage conservation policies, but is also given due regard in the heritage conservation work of cities all over the world. The experiences of adaptively re-using historic buildings on the Mainland and overseas have their respective and distinctive characteristics and are therefore good references for Hong Kong in carrying out heritage conservation. This chapter focuses on one Mainland case and three overseas cases, namely the Suzhou River Warehouses in China, the Tate Modern in the UK, Bushell’s Tea Warehouse in Australia and the Cheong Fatt Tze Mansion in Malaysia, to explore how the local government, organisations and the public make use of the concept of “adaptive re-use” for different types of historic buildings. These international examples reflect the importance of heritage conservation in the enhancement of both the sustainability of a city and the quality of life in the community. Here are the cases in brief: Hong Kong Heritage Liberal Studies Teaching Kit 55 Case 1: Suzhou River Warehouse Location: Nansuzhou Road, Shanghai, China Basic information Historical background: • It was previously a grain warehouse, built in 1933. • In the 1920s and 1930s, Suzhou River (originally called Wusong River) was part of an important transportation and logistics network linking China and the rest of the world. As the transportation and logistics industry prospered, clusters of warehouses and factory buildings were built along the riverbanks.
