  • About the Opposite House
    For Immediate Release The Opposite House collaborates with Spanish street artist gerGA Presenting an abstract urban art piece Beijing, 21 November 2018 – The Opposite House is excited to collaborate with Spanish street artist gerGA presenting his distinct urban art piece at the property. Through a 20 meter mural, gerGA shows his emotional conflict and inspiration which Beijing brought to him. “I was born with the first generation of freedom in Spain. I grew up in a paradise island of never-ending sun on a tourist city of new created concrete without soul. I learnt to design big objects in Madrid and Barcelona. I was working for some years in the creative colorful streets of Berlin. Now, in Beijing, I challenge myself to create pocket cities, balancing between different aesthetics and spontaneous energy of the city, creating design without any preconceived goal. They are like organisms moving so quickly till they lose the energy that generates them and become static.” said gerGA. As an architect and designer, gerGA is always fascinated about urban situations, high density spaces, large metropolitan areas and super crowded places with that, he tries to combine all these elements into an aggressive minimal representation of an abstract urban area. Parallel to his work as an architect in large-scale projects in China, he has been developing an art concept inspired on urban densities, and exploring how to represent them in real architectural spaces creating large scale mural paintings. His work for The Opposite House is a spray painted spontaneous creation inspired by the multiple situations that we can daily experience on a metropolis like Beijing.

  • A Study on Fashion Street in Beijing- Through Street Fashion and Its Images
    Journal of Advanced Research in Social Sciences and Humanities Volume 5, Issue 5 (172-184) DOI: https://dx.doi.org/10.26500/JARSSH-05-2020-0502 A study on fashion street in Beijing- Through street fashion and its images YONGLI HAO*, EUN-YOUNG SHIN 1 Graduate School of Fashion and Living Environment Studies, Bunka Gakuen University, Tokyo, Japan 2 Deptartmet of Fashion Sociology, Bunka Gakuen University, Tokyo, Japan Abstract Aim: This study focuses on Beijing, one of the top Chinese fashion cities, especially Guomao and Sanlitun, which draw attention to their fashion streets. Method: To achieve the aim, the scholar analyzed and investigated their fashion street images and the four influential factors which create the images of street fashion: social backgrounds based on bibliographic data, physical environments, surrounding factors, and human and cultural factors from the fashion consciousness survey. Findings: This study shows that while Guomao is grown into an upscale calm fashion street for adults, Sanlitun is developed as a fashion street for trendy young adults. However, both areas have a short history, and it’s hard to say their street cultures were born naturally. Generally, one place creates its unique image based on its street image, but Beijing’s fashion streets were intentionally created according to government policy. In other words, in addition to the social backgrounds, physical environments, surrounding factors, and human and cultural factors shown by many preceding studies, policy factors played an extremely critical role, and they dominated other factors, which differentiate the fashion streets in Beijing from other developing countries’ fashion streets. Implications/Novel Contribution: This study will provide some inspiration for other developing countries’ economic and fashion development.
