水琴窟
a traditional instruments (or garden art) to appreciate nature in japanese way, through the echoing within the jar it gives out the amazing sound of water droplets. by seeing such an instruments, other traditions from japan came to my mind, and then i figured out every traditional pieces of art, architecture or culture in japan are so amazing that we just want to go there and observe, study or even learn from them. how could they transform every pieces of idea into such a fantastic history and integrate them into everyday life?
i didn't forget that a lot of them are originated from china, and of course the ancient china which was so clever, creative and powerful. while we spent a lot of years having war within ourselves and destroyed as much traditions as we could... the war did not only empty our traditions, but also our soul. we didn't care about our traditional attitude anymore as a man of the 'modern era'.
we are losing our uniqueness, even soon our varieties of language as well because of the ridiculous policies and attitudes. until a day that we are able to reconstruct our traditions and capture the spirit of the chinese history as a noble status in our everyday lives, we are not complete.

revitalization of central police station h&dm


not bad, though no detail design is revealed,
but it's anyway a lot better than the imitation of bamboo scaffolding!
