In preparing the new Notebook 5, the Editor was struck by the nuance and difficulty of intentions, myths, and traditions, past, present, and future, all unified in this question: how does one portray the various facets of a school of architecture—its the eternal presence of each work of architecture. “ * A school of architecture curricula, profiles and outputs—in the fast-changing contexts of Hong Kong and China, while offering a collective presence of ourselves in a way that is unbiased yet gives a A school of architecture is not a building; it is a school of thought.

50 In architectural studies, the land 51 and the city are regarded as one unified whole - as the object of settlement. The Land is the beginning and the ground for the material existence of architecture. The City is the most complex work of architecture, which having its own unity, contains all simpler forms of architecture

As an architectural exercise, the Land and the City reveals the relationship between the whole and the part as a fundamental prinicple of form. It is a critical postion from which to begin to see form. This relationship applies to the city and it can be found in the design of a simple object.

Exchange is the predominant mode of social contact in the human community. The market place and the basilica share much in the early social activities and endure to our time in the shape of many public places. The hawkers, the street vendors, the shopkeepers, and the habitation shopping centers have long been the hub of social activity and represent more than the 56 material they offer for sale. In subtle ways 57 they act as training posts, as playgrounds, as places of social gathering, and as various parts of a collective forum accommodating and embodying urban life. They accommodate a way of conducting public life.

The Centre for Housing Innovations (CHI) was established in partnership with the Com- mittee of Science and Technology of the Min- istry of Construction (STC/MOC) of China in The 5th China Urban Housing Conference, 2005, Hong Kong December 1998. It is the result of four years China Urban Housing Conference China Urban Housing Publications Study Airduct Internal Pressure-change of intensive research on urban housing in China at the Department of Architecture of CUHK, with the continual support of the MOC and the Architectural Society of China (ASC). Based on our ongoing research in virtual reality (VR), we are also developing scientific visualization to provide an advanced simulation system for data analysis. CHI has organized four conferences, held at the MOC in Beijing and the CUHK in Hong Kong, respectively. These events drew participants from academia, government, and professional practice to exchange their research findings and views on the develop- ment of China urban housing. CHI is currently organizing its fifth conference in this coming November, with the theme “Human Settlement and Housing Development under Urbanization Process: Sustainable Development and Energy Conservation”. research units research view from the watercourse’s exit• Yingshan village A Case Study of Chinese village Settlement Meibi Village 38 chinese architectural heritage unit 渼陂村 39 Jiangxi Jan 2005 Donglong Village Winnie Chan 東龍村 Cheung Hei Wai Jiangxi Dec 2003 Ho Puay-peng * commissioned by Rural Maggie Hui Committee of Henry Lo Donglong Village Wendy Ng Yuen Ching Yin Yingshan Village 應山村 Jiangxi Dec 2002 Academic Research Consultancy Research Peitian Village The unit focuses on the research of Earmarked Grant Projects 培田村 all aspects of Chinese architecture Fujian Chinese Traditional Buildings and Settlements in Heritage Study and built heritage.

China 84 85 In Gansu province of the Northwest China, the Po River sharply separates a poor village, Maosi. A fragile wood-plank bridge is the only means of connection for children to go to school. During the flooding season, crossing the river is a threat to human lives.

A Bridge Too Far, a charitable project led by a team of architecture professors and students of the Chinese University of Hong Kong , Hong Kong Polytechnic University , Hong Kong University of Science and Technology as well as Xian Jiaotong University helped the children by building a safe and sustain- able bridge.

The bridge is about 90m long making up of 20 sections. It spans across the river with steel tubes and sits on the river bed with steel cage gabions bases. PVC coated steel gabions are used as the foundations. They rest on the river rock bed. They are 1.5m high. The gabions are filled with rubbles and other recycled concrete and brick cores. These provide the tonnage required to weigh down the gabions firmly on the bed. On top, galvanized steel RHS and CHS sections are anchored to the gabions. They form the walking planks. Rope handrail is provided.
