Please read the file labeled concept statement first, and then use the subsequent information to understand the following graphics. The two graphics labeled "Concept Sketch" are graphic representations of the concept.

The files labeled under the titles "Existing Journey" and "Completed Proposed Journey" are graphic representations of the existing road on the southern bank, which has the potential to be completed to create a more cohesive identity for the Qing Cun.

The two diagrams named "Cultural Dist" are a study of the existing cultural amenities and their distribution in relation to the Old Town, the proposed diagram looks specifically at the importance of the vacant site in regards to surrounding cultural institutions.

The series of perspectives (labeled numerically) are a representation of the duality of the Journey. The yellow expresses the connection to the water. It is clear to see the difference between the connections while on the northern side of the canal vs. the southern side.

The file labeled "Sun Section" was an exploration as to why this condition may have come about (as in buildings forming the water's edge on the north and road on the southern side).

The file labeled "Section Existing Villas" is a study of the response to the waters edge in the existing villa development on the southern bank to attempt to gain a better understanding of what may be to come with the new development proposed. The study was conducted to look at the failures of the response as it interrupts the "loop" expressed in the concept as well as not allow for a collective access and use of the water.

The last two files labeled under "Access to Journey" and "Access to Journey - Existing" are a study of the existing urban fabric to the north of the site to understand how one would access this journey off of the main road. What was discovered was the possibility to introduce more avenues of access. One, which was particularly of interest to me, was the access through the government complex.

The last file labeled "Journey Urban Condition Diagram" looks at the edge conditions of the main canal.
