2002 to 2004: YUHU ELEMENTARY SCHOOL EXPANSION PROJECT

The Yuhu Elementary School Expansion Project in the UNESCO World Heritage site in , China, is a community service project. The project is undertaken by Dr Li Xiaodong (Li Xiaodong Atelier) with the National University of Singapore. Yeo Kang Shua was the project architect.

 

This project was intended as a response to the local vernacular architecture through the basic comprehension of environment, social and building conservation. Appropriate to the unique site and the complexity of the subject matter, the investigations were conducted through multidisciplinary collaboration, probing into spatial conceptions in the domains of folklore, materiality, geomancy, ecology and finally architecture.
