12 CONTEMPORARY CHINESE ART IN RELATIONSHIP TO CHINESE ARCHITECTURE AND URBANISM 2010 Working with Zhang Fang – an art curator and writer based in Beijinjg, and in collaboration with some of the leading contemporary art galleries and organizations in China including Pekin Fine Arts, Urs Meile, Boers Li Gallery, White Space, Three Shadows, China Art Archive Warehouse, Platform China, and artists such as Ai Weiwei and FAKE, He Yunchang, and Wang Qingsong, we have been developing a series of topics that expose and describe recent and newly developing relationships within Chinese Contemporary Art and aspects of architecture and urbanism.

The themes and content range from the use of signature architecture as a historical site for collective memory and individual reflection, urban architecture as a narrative site for individual storytelling that interacts with social transformation, and architectural elements as experimental sites for exploring new ideas of self-identity in China.

CONTEMPORARY CHINESE CINEMA AS A MEDIUM FOR EXPOSING CONUNDRUMS OF URBANISM AND RURALISM 2010 American academics and students in the fields of architecture and urban planning have, in recent years, been obsessed with the rapidly changing face of China due to the unprecedented urban development occurring there. The energies of their research and proposals have largely been directed at urban environments because of this focus. Recently, in courses at the University of Michigan’s Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning conducted in both Ann Arbor and Beijing, we have been using contemporary Chinese cinema to expose the equally important and ubiquitous situations and environments of rural China. Even more significantly, we have been using films such as Frozen, Beijing Bicycle, Lost in Beijing, The World, I Love Beijing and Wu Wenguang’s Village Self-Governance Film Project films (and numerous others) to expose the relationships between urban and rural which are critical for understanding China’s urbanism yet have remained largely overlooked by the disciplines of architecture and planning.

SUSTAINABLE PROTOTYPE RURAL HOUSE FOR CHINA P.R. CHINA 2010 In collaboration with the Peabody Essex Museum and with a pending grant from the Earthwatch Institute now in the finalist stages, an extensive project is being undertaken through BASE Beijing to develop a sustainable prototype rural house for Anhui province in China.

In the Anhui village of Huang Cun are found some of the most significant examples of the extraordinary traditional Huizhou architecture. With rapid changes affecting China in recent years, modernization has reached the village. In their desire for more contemporary amenities, and due to a lack of ability to maintain, restore or sensitively renovate the traditional structures, villagers often build new houses while old ones are neglected. The loss and degradation of the traditional structures, combined with the addition of incompatible new houses, is rapidly changing the face of Huang Cun and other villages throughout China. 750 million people currently reside in rural China, and the countless hundreds of thousands of villages are facing these same issues, albeit with differing climates and local architectural traditions and vernaculars.

The goal of this project is to document the changing face of rural China in one specific locale, and to study it in a thorough way so as to be in a position to provide alternatives and possibilities for new and sustainable rural living in the face of the inevitable modernization in the 21st century. This information will lead to the development of a new rural prototype house as well as a series of specific recommendations on how to convert the historic structures to meet modern standards, where possible, without compromising the architectural and historical integrity of these structures, a kind of ‘stealth’ operation. The recommendations will be quite specific, complete with actual design examples that could easily be understood by Huang Cun’s villagers, and be applied to new houses and/or the existing historic structures. The work will attempt to maintain the integrity of the well known exteriors of the houses, but will also attempt to maintain the integrity of the interior configurations and detailing – equally as important.

NEW SOCIALIST VILLAGE P.R.CHINA 2008 – present Work on this project has been done in collaboration with the Beijing University of Technology’s School of Architecture and Urban Planning. BJUT has been appointed by the central government to make recommendations and provide design for the New Socialist Villages in the rural areas surrounding Beijing. Studio Works and BASE have focused their work on one of these villages – Shang Shui Guo – with the 13 intention being that the recommendations made there will be applicable to the other villages in the program. This work is currently being considered, and is a finalist for, a Vinoly research grant.

CAOCHANGDI URBAN VILLAGE Beijing, Chaoyang District P.R. CHINA 2007-present Caochangdi Village is an Urban Village, and is one of nearly 500 such villages in Beijing. One in every ten Beijingers lives in these environments. The urban villages in Beijing operate with economies and physical settings much like rural villages, yet they are surrounded by the thriving contemporary capital city of China.

Caochangdi’s story is both general and particular. Caochangdi has undergone a series of extreme changes since its beginnings as a wild grassland, its subsequent subjection to the forces at play during the imperial and cultural revolutions eras, and now as it has become a heterotopic mix of entrepreneurial farmers and world class artists and galleries. In one recent auction, Sotheby’s and Christie’s sold 63 million dollars of contemporary Chinese Art. Much of it was fermented and produced in Caochangdi village. The artists and the entrepreneurial farmers have produced an informal, mostly illegal, ground up urbanism that is thriving. The Central Party has taken notice, especially after the International Press has taken such an interest in the art culture of Caochangdi, and they have slated the village to be a model “New Socialist Village” to demonstrate one of the key mandates of the nations most recent Five Year Plan. This strange brew of newly arrived rural to urban migrants, farmers turned landlord entrepreneurs, world class artists and galleries, and New Socialist mandates has produced a fascinating situation of an early 21st century urbanism.

Mary-Ann Ray and Robert Mangurian have worked in collaboration with Ai Weiwei and with graduate students to identify, analyze, and document the rapid change that Caochangdi has undergone and is undergoing both in its deep past and in recent years. This change, and the mechanisms and outcomes of this change, are illustrative of the larger phenomena of extensive transformations in urbanizing Asia. The intent of the project is to reveal the forces at work, and document the human, architectural, and urban consequences of this change. The work is being compiled for a book to be published by Timezone8 publishers, Beijing.

HADRIAN'S VILLA - A NEW PLAN and the VIRTUAL WORLD HERITAGE LABORATORY Tivoli, Italy 1986 – 1998, field work 2007 – present, Digital GSI based Archive with the Institute of Advanced Technology for the Humanities, University of Virginia Spring 2009 - Present, Consultant to Archaeologist Marina de Franceschini on her forthcoming book on the Accademia Ray and Mangurian founded the Atelier Italia with the purpose of undertaking a thorough documentation of this ancient Roman site leading nearly 200 graduate students of architecture over the course of ten years of field. A series of drawings are in preparation which will lead to a publication of a folio and book describing the New Plan of Hadrian's Villa. The photographic, textual, and measuring data is in the process of being digitized and integrated into a computer data base that will allow the viewing of all aspects of the Villa in plan or in three dimensions. The Getty Center Photo Archive has acquired 3,600 prints from the Atelier Italia's photo-documentation. Funded by a grant through the Institute for Advanced Technology for the Humanities at the University of Virginia, the field work, drawings and photographs are being archived digitally and organized spatially with a GSI interactive format as a part of the groundbreaking Virtual World Heritage Laboratory.
