PONZ's interview at the History Museum in Changzhou, China.
A news interview from Changzhou, China in which I explain finding the Qing Dynasty scroll commissioned by the Kangxi Emperor which depicts his visit to our Sister School's city. I was surprised and honored to receive a reception and award of thanks from the city at the new history museum. It was amazing to see how they used the image to create the various museum displays.

News Story: Receiving Honors at the Changzhou History Museum, China
News story from Changzhou, China covering the visit of our delegation from Oak Hall School to their new history museum. I was being honored for discovering an ancient Qing Dynasty scroll which depicted their city and presenting an image of the scroll which the museum used in several displays. I am happy the people of Changzhou were so excited by this and honored by their show of appreciation. It is in Chinese, but listen for Ponze, Oka-Hall, Changzhou Fu, and Kangxi (Emperor) and you'll get the gist.

studio505: Wujin Lotus Park, China
The Wujin Lotus Park project is a commission that extends studio505's design from the Lotus Exhibition Centre, to bring the entire park into the cultural precinct. The design establishes a clear and active programme of functions, including a new Museum of Contemporary Art, an entertainment and restaurant venue, and an underground pedestrian connection to the galleries and functions of Phoenix Valley.
The park is approximately 3.5 hectares of water, landscape and gardens, designed to be occupied throughout the year with festivals and functions through day and night. The themes of environmental sustainability, education, recreation and community focused arts programmes are key to the establishment and success of the park programme.
Amazing Building in China. The Wujin Lotus Conference Center
Designing An Inhabited Sculptural Form: The Wujin Lotus Conference Center, Changzhou China
In Hindu, Buddhist and Egyptian religions, the Lotus is considered a sacred flower as it symbolizes the potential of awakening, spiritual growth, and enlightenment, and the flower grows from subterranean mud toward aboveground warmth and light. Many believe that humans are like Lotus flowers: the conditions producing life are not always ideal, but those circumstances do not stop the Lotus, and should not stop the person, from rising through adversity, opening its essence to the sun.
With those ideas in mind, The Wujin Lotus Conference Center is constructed in the image of a Lotus flower. The building is situated on a 30,000 square foot artificial lake, close to an eight-acre park in the city of Changzhou.
The Lotus Conference Center was conceived, according to the architectural firm, as an inhabited sculptural form, emerging naturally from the lake. It is home to public galleries, and conference facilities.
Geothermal energy pile foundations are an alternative energy source for heating and cooling needs. Year ‘round, this geothermic heat exchange system reduces air conditioning costs for both the Lotus above and the two-story building beneath the lake. The lotus is also naturally ventilated and utilizes evaporative cooling from the lake’s surface.

studio505 - Forestry Tower, Wujin, China
studio505 were invited to offer an architectural proposal for the Wujin Agriculture and Forestry Bureau. Research into the local culture and the requirements of the department in charge of 'Agriculture' and 'Forestry' resulted in this new and exciting project. studio505's concept utilises key design metaphors such as farmland, forestry, wells and gardens which are closely related to agriculture and forestry. Our first response to the brief led us to the notion of harvest and that the people who work the land, grow and cut the timber, gather and stack the produce bring order and harmony to the community.
The generation of the form has come from a desire to create a building that correlates to the many manners in which the harvested natural product is cut, gathered, stacked and stored at the hands of the people who work the land. Inspired by the notion of harvest and the stacking of timber and produce, the floor plan has been configured and developed into a form and series of stacked blocks.
Our concept aimed to provide a sustainable design proposal for the Wujin Agriculture and Forestry Bureau with a strong Chinese cultural sense. The individual tower blocks were treated as carved seal stones, or chops, symbolic of the scope and charge of the Wujin Agricultural and Forestry Bureau. studio505 studied ancient Chinese characters linked to crops and land remediation, using them in the facade design and shading system ensuring that the product and project were in complete harmony. The pattern detail of the facade was partially sourced from an abstraction of timber grains and from the depth found in a crystallised jade or stone carved seal.
