Exploring design works ranging from furniture and temporary art
installations to interior design and architecture by CL3, founded
by William Lim, and related studios Lim + Lu and Open UU, this book
presents a fresh consideration of the essence of contemporary Asian
design and how it has evolved over the past few decades. The
projects selected share a sensitivity to Asian qualities: a deep
appreciation of site and context, craft and design details, with
imaginative architectural responses delivering a reinterpretation
of cultural heritage and traditions. The book includes a contextual
essay by Hong Kong-based architecture critic and author Catherine
Shaw, a foreword by architecture and design curator Aric Chen, and
a chapter dedicated to conversations on the modern interpretation
of eastern aesthetics and the unique experience of designing for a
new Asia between William Lim, Swedish museum director, art critic
and writer Lars Nittve, and Shanghai-based architect Lyndon Neri.
The projects are presented in a clear, vibrant graphic style
designed by William Lim and artist and graphic designer Stanley
Wong, aka anothermountainman, to evoke an Asian quality. Each
chapter includes a text by William Lim and features original
conceptual sketches, photographs, floor plans, and drawings.
The 19th century is drawing to a close, and though Vanessa
Weatherburn is still quite young, she's seen a lot of changes,
particularly as concern the role of women. The stiff, elaborate
bustles that were de rigeur when Vanessa first arrived in
Cam�bridge have given way to less constricting skirts, and women
are finding themselves less constricted in other ways as well.
Vanessa's passion for science and mathematics, once an embarrassing
oddity, is now quite nearly fashionable. And her work as a private
investigator need no longer be presented as a personal hobby: She's
actually been asked to help the police with their enquiries.
The enquiry in question concerns the identity of a pretty young
woman found drowned in the river like the lovelorn Ophelia. Indeed,
Vanessa suspects she may have been an actress, but that raises
questions of its own. Not so long ago, "actress" was synonymous
with, well, a woman with a past. But today it's said that Mrs.
Patrick Campbell, the toast of the London stage, is received in
some of the best houses. Have notions of respectability truly
changed that much? Or are the newfound female freedoms merely a
thin veneer, masking societal expectations that have, in truth,
become no less restrictive?
Andre Fu is one of Asia's leading interiors designers. When his
design for the world-renowned The Upper House hotel in Hong Kong
opened ten years ago, he became an overnight sensation around the
world. As one of Asia's most widely sought-after interior
designers, the Hong Kong-based designer has gone on to create
forward-thinking interiors for other major hotels, restaurants and
leading brands, including Louis Vuitton, The Berkeley (London) and
Waldorf hotels. This showcase of his works to date features
eighteen recent projects around the world and provides fresh
insights into Fu's creative process, including his hand-drawn
sketches and mood boards, as well as an introductory essay that
explores Fu's key influences and the importance of his unique and
highly refined East-meets-West aesthetic. With an illustrated
chronology of all the designer's works to date, this rich overview
presents the award-winning vision of interior design's rising star,
not only in Asia but across the world.
Drawing on a series of conversations and site visits to six recent
groundbreaking projects, architecture writer Catherine Shaw
describes how Beijing-based OPEN Architecture is reinventing and
responding to China s complex and fast-changing cultural landscape
with projects that mark a new era for contemporary Chinese cultural
architecture. OPEN Architecture was founded in New York in 2003 by
Li Hu and Huang Wenjing, while their Beijing office opened in 2008.
From a contemporary art gallery buried beneath a sand dune to a
sculptural open-air theatre in a remote mountain valley near the
Great Wall, co-founders Li Hu and Huang Wenjing re-evaluate
conventional Western assumptions about culture and design as they
base each pioneering project on the needs and plea-sures of
humanity within the context of diverse terrains and climates. In
doing so, they not only consider how cultural architecture looks,
but how it works. Projects are presented with commentary and
contextual information as well as new analyses and archival
material, including outstanding colour photography, plans and
drawings, and exploratory sketches. This book provides a fresh
perspective on contemporary cultural architecture and place making,
hig-lighting the architects sources of inspiration, their
challenges, and their construction methods, showing how each
impactful project responds to China s distinctive context.
Children from abroad who are alone in the UK are vulnerable and at
increased risk of harm without the care and protection of their
parents or caregivers. They may be unaccompanied asylum seekers,
refugees, or victims of trafficking. This book examines the issues
and problems faced by these children, what their needs are, and how
these needs should be met in order to ensure their effective
safeguarding. It demonstrates that these children often receive a
different level of service to children who are UK citizens, and
examines how these gaps in services can be addressed. Chapters
cover the identification and age assessment of separated children,
accommodation provision, private fostering, mental health,
detention and returns, and the role of the guardian. Case studies
and best practice points are included throughout the book. This
important book will be essential reading for all those who
encounter separated children, including social workers,
counsellors, health care professionals and those working in the
voluntary sector.
