CHINA 1. MAY – 14. MAY 2016 The 11th day we traveled from Guilin to Shanghai with China Eastern Airlines. We went from Guilin Liangjiang International Airport to Shanghai Pudong International Airport. When we got to Shanghai, the first item on the program was to walk on The Bund along Huangpu River. The promenade is built above street level. There are a number of tall buildings near The Bund. This one is called Tomorrow Square, and is the 8th tallest building in Shanghai. Here is decorated with flowers. A group of uniformed men are also out walking. Some pictures along The Bund. Across the river is a series of tall buildings. This district is called Pudong, and is the city's financial center. This image of Pudong's probably taken one of those rare times that the air is clear. Air pollution is normally very high in Shanghai and other Chinese cities. The building has a kind of hole in the top. It is Shanghai World Financial Center. The highest is Shanghai Tower, This is Oriental Pearl Tower. It is 468 m high and is which is 632m and the tallest building in China and the Asia's tallest and the world's 3rd tallest tower. second tallest in the world. A section of wall around The Bund is decorated with creepers. This bull is called The Bund Bull. Next stop was at the hotel that we would stay on unti day 14. It's called Hotel Equatorial Shanghai. We stayed on the 20th floor. View from our room. This is the sun at midday. In an intersection just below are the cars in line for a red light. Same day as we came to Shanghai, I got a heavy cold, and I found it best to stay in our room all the time. Traffic below the hotel. Luckily they had room service with many dishes on the menu. We saw a bit on Chinese television. Here they show movie about Kermit and Miss Piggy. This is a small temple just beyond the hotel. There is a lot of light in the evening..

China Megastructures: Learning by Experience
AC 2009-131: CHINA MEGASTRUCTURES: LEARNING BY EXPERIENCE Richard Balling, Brigham Young University Page 14.320.1 Page © American Society for Engineering Education, 2009 CHINA MEGA-STRUCTURES: LEARNING BY EXPERIENCE Abstract A study abroad program for senior and graduate civil engineering students is described. The program provides an opportunity for students to learn by experience. The program includes a two-week trip to China to study mega-structures such as skyscrapers, bridges, and complexes (stadiums, airports, etc). The program objectives and the methods for achieving those objectives are described. The relationships between the program objectives and the college educational emphases and the ABET outcomes are also presented. Student comments are included from the first offering of the program in 2008. Introduction This paper summarizes the development of a study abroad program to China where civil engineering students learn by experience. Consider some of the benefits of learning by experience. Experiential learning increases retention, creates passion, and develops perspective. Some things can only be learned by experience. Once, while the author was lecturing his teenage son for a foolish misdeed, his son interrupted him with a surprisingly profound statement, "Dad, leave me alone....sometimes you just got to be young and stupid before you can be old and wise". As parents, it's difficult to patiently let our children learn by experience. The author traveled to China for the first time in 2007. He was blindsided by the rapid pace of change in that country, and by the remarkable new mega-structures. More than half of the world's tallest skyscrapers, longest bridges, and biggest complexes (stadiums, airports, etc) are in China, and most of these have been constructed in the past decade.

Email: [email protected] Citation: Cheng H, Worrall J, 2021, Unfolding China’s Urban Development: The Implementation of Public Art in Beijing and Shanghai. Journal of Chinese Architecture and Urbanism, 3(1): 1025. http://dx.doi.org/10.36922/jcau.v3i1.1025 ABSTRACT During China’s speeding urbanization, creating a unique city image to achieve economic growth draws the attention of property developers, urban planners, and city administrations. Through activating urban spaces and creating dynamic urban culture, public art plays an effective role in leading modern urban creative capital investment into China’s urban development. In order to understand the implementation of public art in Beijing and Shanghai, this research aims to analyze the resonance between public art and urbanization in Chinese megacities through selected case studies. The study reveals public art guided by urbanization policy and strategy in metropolitan China, which further unfolds the discontinuous and fragmented relationship between public art, public sphere, and urbanization policies. Through discovering the imbalances between public art investment, implementation, and post- implementation management frameworks, the study provides several approaches to boost China’s urban development for achieving the resonance between public art and urbanization.

A Letter from China 21 July 2014
A letter from China 21 July 2014 Interesting things to do with skyscrapers Much work has been done on Shanghai’s architecture during the 1920s & 30s. I refer interested readers to the beautifully illustrated work of Tess Johnston. Less has been written on the boom in skyscraper building that we have seen over the past 25 years. The vast creation of private wealth here, combined with a government willing and able to make grand architectural statements, has led to a sustained exuberance in the design of tall buildings. It all started here. This unlovely building, the Shanghai Union Friendship Tower, was the first skyscraper of the modern era, completed in 1985, just off the Bund. (The more imaginative building in the background with the leaf crown is the Bund Centre, built in 2002.) Before then, Lazlo Hudec’s Park Hotel, alongside Shanghai’s race Shanghai Union Friendship Tower track, had held the title of the city’s tallest building since its construction in 1934. It was from this vantage point that your correspondent watched President Reagan’s motorcade when he visited Shanghai in April 1984. That’s the Park Hotel to the left, its 22 floors now overborne by the 47-floor Radisson New World (2005), with its “the Martians have landed” motif. This is a late example of the revolving-restaurant fad. In the West, revolving restaurants were a thing of the 1960s and 1970s. But at that time China was busy with its own Cultural Park Hotel/Radisson New World Revolution. So the 1980s was China’s first chance to build something so cool.

A Battle Between Moral Rights and Freedom of Expression: How Would Moral Rights Empower the "Charging Bull" Against the "Fearless Girl"?
THE JOHN MARSHALL REVIEW OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY LAW A BATTLE BETWEEN MORAL RIGHTS AND FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION: HOW WOULD MORAL RIGHTS EMPOWER THE "CHARGING BULL" AGAINST THE "FEARLESS GIRL"? TZU-I LEE ABSTRACT The Fearless Girl statue that stands in front of the iconic Charging Bull sculpture in Manhattan’s Financial District has drawn attention since an investment company first installed her for International Women’s Day in 2017. The Fearless Girl alters the context and meaning of the Charging Bull to a symbol of gender oppression in the workplace and provokes tensions between copyright and freedom of speech. The Fearless Girl also leads to a scene where a small girl funded by Wall Street is standing up a large bull created by an artist with his own money. This comment discusses how artists can rely on “moral rights” in preventing their works from intentional distortions like the Fearless Girl case under the Visual Artists Rights Act (VARA). With the reputational externalities and the freedom of expression theories, this comment proposes that VARA should extend to protect against objectionable contextual modification of a work of art. The clear global trend is towards greater recognition of artist’s moral rights for a broad range of protection. The protection against objectionable contextual modification also reveals unequal power relations and empowers artists in the complexities of cultural production and consumption under globalization. The contextual protection is valuable for the artist and the public interest.

Cities of the Future September 11, 2009 in Shanghai, urban China by The China Beat | 3 comments By Anna Greenspan The future is by definition modern – Carol Willis Modern means Shanghai – then and now – Ben Wood At the Skyscraper Museum in Battery Park, where lower Manhattan meets the water’s edge, Shanghai is currently on display. Though the museum only occupies a small space, the design by architectural firm SOM gives the illusion of height, and the show is packed with content (including maps, floor-to- ceiling photographs, architectural models, video, and a 20-minute floating streetscape by Shanghai- based photographer Jakob Montrasio). For those who can’t make the trip to New York, much of this material is now available online at the museum’s superb website. In the coming months, this should be supplemented by recordings of a fall lecture series on the Shanghai skyline, which features architectural talks from many of the most notable firms working in the city (Portman, Gensler, SOM, KPF etc).
