creates interventions that use interaction to create moments of memory. It addresses key pain points in airport experience centered around three moments of respites: - the security line- the gate- the baggage claim.

Through making and telling the story of a magical realism story – that the ghosts of the 19th century tigers are haunting the city – I hope to activate the invisible and the underprivileged communities, which include but are not limited to the migrant workers and the homeless, to share their stories and therefore trigger public awareness and further actions in responding to the often neglected social issues. In this project, the invented urban legend is a mechanism that disembodies the issues of injustice and reconnects them to the everyday life of Singaporean. The installation takes place both online and offline: the online form is an interactive wed map that shares and collects the incidence of the haunting tigers, while the offline form is a series of fabricated urban scenes serve as the evidences of the ghost tigers. The origin of the haunting tigers <img width="645" height="460" width_o="645" height_o="460" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/8e6268a78e923f85e7be494975bbe6e5d8d2ff663f82126025e68ba6b55d86c8/print.jpg" data-mid="62061061" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/645/i/8e6268a78e923f85e7be494975bbe6e5d8d2ff663f82126025e68ba6b55d86c8/print.jpg" /> Inspired by William Gibson’s commentary on Singapore that the city-state is a Disneyland with the Death Penalty, the project is built upon the ‘fabricated’ and the ‘fairytale-like’ aura of the contemporary Singapore. The story of the haunting tiger is based on the anecdotes of the tiger hazard in the mid-18th to early 19th century in Singapore. According to records such as the Singapore Chronicle, tigers were found in areas of Bukit Timah, Choa Chu Kang, and Pulau Ubin during the period. As plantations expanded, the conflicts between humans and the tiger increased; people were attacked and killed by tigers and tigers were trapped and killed by people. The concept of the ghost is contextualized and unfolded: people revere ghost as it stands for their ancestors; people worship ghost as it is believed to protect its followers; people avoid ghost as it also represents extreme obsession that death cannot reconcile. The urban legend of the haunting tigers is a twist of the Singaporean fairytale: these 19th century tigers were threats to the locals as well as the victim of the rapid urbanization. The ghost of tiger is a reminder: it reminds us that the marginalized and the eliminated ones have always been co-existing with us; it also reminds the privileged that their Disneyland is built upon the sacrifice of the underprivileged. Strategy and engagement approaches The forms of the ghost are implicit: they are the roaring sound coming from the forested park, they are the little flyers on the street suggesting the incident of the tiger, they are the crushed bushes implying the crossing of the tiger. The physical installations are these implicit scenes that are set up to provide evidence of the ghost. These scenes are constructed through minor alterations of the existing sites, such as placing the black and yellow stripy fur at the target sites and installing speakers that play the roaring sound of a tiger at the selected places. Engagement is a key component of the project and it is achieved through the digital installation. An online interactive map of Singapore is a collective digital exhibition that showcases all the stories and ‘evidence’ created by the invisible and the underprivileged. This map is also a storytelling platform. The forgotten past of the land can be recollected and reconnected to the present on the map. The lineage of the ghost tiger is depicted through place-based storytelling. The map will also work as the disseminators that spread the story and raises people’s curiosities. Fabricated images that visualize the ghost at the targeted sites will be added to initiate the story. Articles will be posted illustrating residents’ encounters with the ghost tigers. This map is a map of the social-geographical conflict in disguise. . https://xinruliu.cargo.site/Fabricating-Hair Thu, 13 Apr 2023 17:32:28 +0000 Xinru Liu https://xinruliu.cargo.site/Fabricating-Hair Hair!

Xinru Liu https://xinruliu.cargo.site/Transformation Transformation 2016, Thesis Project The project Transformation is driven by my curiosity of the content-form relation in finding how form relates to content and whether there is a derivative relation in between. Strongly influenced by contemporary critical thinking and philosophy, I juxtaposed language with architecture, comparing the semantics-syntax relation to content-form relation. In the process of finding what is the “being” of architecture, I encountered the concept of &nbsp;“Différance” developed by Derrida and adopted this concept in an experimental process of making architecture, which became the project Transformation. <img width="2890" height="1903" width_o="2890" height_o="1903" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/2635b40699c6a17619cf3f6406647378bbee790d3bd902195b9e803ff6e73df3/xin-thesis01.jpg" data-mid="12257814" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/2635b40699c6a17619cf3f6406647378bbee790d3bd902195b9e803ff6e73df3/xin-thesis01.jpg" /> Language and Architecture breathing form from Xinru Liu on Vimeo. water_wave from Xinru Liu on Vimeo.Form Exploration <img width="4928" height="3264" width_o="4928" height_o="3264" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/0dfb2f9b122d30263ade5deb635dc2b5963ced54d4bd8974b2a4b7020b7da1c4/Thesis_2016Spring32.jpg" data-mid="149103899" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/0dfb2f9b122d30263ade5deb635dc2b5963ced54d4bd8974b2a4b7020b7da1c4/Thesis_2016Spring32.jpg" /> <img width="4928" height="3264" width_o="4928" height_o="3264" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e26c104a00dd82c2610a7dae96d68b5fa79533e834b09116c06a2ec0f0567a89/Thesis_2016Spring29.jpg" data-mid="149103938" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e26c104a00dd82c2610a7dae96d68b5fa79533e834b09116c06a2ec0f0567a89/Thesis_2016Spring29.jpg" /> <img width="4928" height="3264" width_o="4928" height_o="3264" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/0185f7cb549566f4467bb9a39fa0b699e2a1affcb0fd456b365941634bb26391/Thesis_2016Spring39.jpg" data-mid="149103966" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/0185f7cb549566f4467bb9a39fa0b699e2a1affcb0fd456b365941634bb26391/Thesis_2016Spring39.jpg" /> <img width="2847" height="1186" width_o="2847" height_o="1186" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/5fd65c2877df0d618c7cdf69ed670c7ad8e892f390c1302fcde4d2c7454367df/section_morph.jpg" data-mid="12257813" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/5fd65c2877df0d618c7cdf69ed670c7ad8e892f390c1302fcde4d2c7454367df/section_morph.jpg" /> <img width="3266" height="1244" width_o="3266" height_o="1244" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/66a7ee553c0c00b6bc1527e7ec5eb6e52a0e12bef4c444c13fc19f8a1dd5412c/Screen-Shot-2022-07-29-at-1.32.17-PM.png" data-mid="149103989" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/66a7ee553c0c00b6bc1527e7ec5eb6e52a0e12bef4c444c13fc19f8a1dd5412c/Screen-Shot-2022-07-29-at-1.32.17-PM.png" /> Glacier as the Site Glacier arrives as a perfect incarnation of &nbsp;“Différance”;

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Moving climate to the center of culture, ethics, and public life” is the core mission of the Climate Museum Launch Project. The challenge of this project will be unpack the complex set of issues surrounding climate change, identify the public who want or need to learn more about what our changing climate means to them, and to develop architectural projects that will demonstrate resiliency, innovation, urgency and common purpose in understanding the role climate plays in our lives. The proposed Climate Change Museum aims to create space that expresses the complexity of the issues of climate change meanwhile communicating to the visitor about the relationship among different topics through its spatial connection. The design goal is achieved through an unconventional typology that allows separated spaces to be physically or visually connected by a core space.

In this case, my museum proposal became a manifesto of my critique to the present oversimplified approach to the issue of climate change; different exhibit rooms are arranged in juxtaposition to each other around a central circulation core, breaking through the traditional linear and hierarchical spatial arrangement via the the strategy of view framing, moments of the concurrence and divergence of different exhibit spaces are captured. <img width="2700" height="1800" width_o="2700" height_o="1800"

studio proposes to relocate the local minor league baseball park at downtown area. The challenge is to appropriate the program in limited land and to rethink the connection between the ball park and the city. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; My solution, after examing the site, is to maximum the public use of the ball park by creating multi-scaled pokect space along the pedestrian path with a modular system that can elevating most of the programmed space. This modular system is the bone of the project and all the programs are the flesh. &nbsp; Concept Diagram <img width="2498" height="2800" width_o="2498" height_o="2800" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/b595894dd6ec3b8ee9b1b9dbe92c3f83f53cb3866ef57436b6827ac37a30f3c2/concept-diagram1-2.jpg" data-mid="12352068" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/b595894dd6ec3b8ee9b1b9dbe92c3f83f53cb3866ef57436b6827ac37a30f3c2/concept-diagram1-2.jpg" /> <img width="2498" height="2800" width_o="2498" height_o="2800" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/8cfa0a7bb5c891e2a9b069bdc51ce4f38d8d030ea6e4dbd28c61bba772a1054a/concept-diagram2-2.jpg" data-mid="12352069" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/8cfa0a7bb5c891e2a9b069bdc51ce4f38d8d030ea6e4dbd28c61bba772a1054a/concept-diagram2-2.jpg" /> <img width="2498" height="2800" width_o="2498" height_o="2800" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/31b8b2f6769375749c85b1c83e84bedb096c1d5c07a76604ceade57306e57296/concept-diagram3.jpg" data-mid="12352070" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/31b8b2f6769375749c85b1c83e84bedb096c1d5c07a76604ceade57306e57296/concept-diagram3.jpg" /> <img width="1000" height="820" width_o="1000" height_o="820" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e9988a7d82cdb1d4a7aec89ceb08c9defc321da9b8fc3160fab4c29c58ceba07/diagram1.jpg" data-mid="12304194" border="0" data-scale="71" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e9988a7d82cdb1d4a7aec89ceb08c9defc321da9b8fc3160fab4c29c58ceba07/diagram1.jpg" /><img width="1060" height="720" width_o="1060" height_o="720" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/20869c69fd590e4a90399e33255f99c3489bf44a2076741f16c87440b315c4de/diagram2.jpg" data-mid="12304195" border="0" data-scale="86" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/20869c69fd590e4a90399e33255f99c3489bf44a2076741f16c87440b315c4de/diagram2.jpg" /> <img width="1728" height="648" width_o="1728" height_o="648" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/3b1712338b1d0e6511b2ba87bb3423ab6c3a48f0559622b2c4c32e10aeb7d564/1-copy.jpg" data-mid="12304190" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/3b1712338b1d0e6511b2ba87bb3423ab6c3a48f0559622b2c4c32e10aeb7d564/1-copy.jpg" /><img width="1728" height="711" width_o="1728" height_o="711" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/bcb5e33f245b9ad89ac6e7fe72e32911731de107c0b61495089f0c3fb9547f4f/2-copy.jpg" data-mid="12304191" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/bcb5e33f245b9ad89ac6e7fe72e32911731de107c0b61495089f0c3fb9547f4f/2-copy.jpg" /><img width="1728" height="842" width_o="1728" height_o="842" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/7b663d350a09dc3dcd9d6a585127b057f81e15a346580b7b8fe392160c1b56dd/3-copy.jpg" data-mid="12304192" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/7b663d350a09dc3dcd9d6a585127b057f81e15a346580b7b8fe392160c1b56dd/3-copy.jpg" /><img width="1728" height="810" width_o="1728" height_o="810" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/f57f5ba0d40481091d0a4527562c95706b6234a96534207dc4dbdadf1a4479a4/5.jpg" data-mid="12304193" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/f57f5ba0d40481091d0a4527562c95706b6234a96534207dc4dbdadf1a4479a4/5.jpg" /><img width="3000" height="900" width_o="3000" height_o="900" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/4ca15ccaf9b88b2fee6a7d3a546f77ce5ffc629388a9ed468abbb5a65e7a6674/section_1_16-copy.jpg" data-mid="12304198" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/4ca15ccaf9b88b2fee6a7d3a546f77ce5ffc629388a9ed468abbb5a65e7a6674/section_1_16-copy.jpg" />
