PROLOGUE

My passion for architecture study originates from a kind sense of responsibility. I think that architects should assume their own sense of social responsibility and create architecture to bridge the historical rift in the long human society development. Although architecture is a materialized way of expression, the connotation contained is a virtual bond linking the history and culture of a nation and its future development. This kind of self-identity recognition bolstered by the feature of architecture helps ethnic groups trace back to their origins and establish their own value systems, which are vulnerable to the mainstream value system in the wake of globalization. The history and culture of one ethnic group can be reflected in architecture. However, ordinary people often fail to realize the significance of self-identity.

I have studied architecture's influence on urban and rural area especially in ethnic minority areas development for a long time. Therefore if I have a chance for conducting a research project, I will choose to study Wuhan. I will explore the architecture influence left by Wuhan's history of colonization by recording and researching the architectural form and layout of Wuhan's old neighborhoods. I am also going to finish site interviews for understanding old residents' perception of self-identity and their city, as well as new residents' desire of this city. I will summarized the shared feature of the space typology of Wuhan old city's traditional street and alley, and formulated a repair plan for the existing urban street space to awaken the Wuhan citizens for their own identity.

In addition, I wish to investigate the relationship between architecture and culture in the minority areas of Hubei, China. Unlike some of China's cities, which are the product of public policy, the development of the countryside is mostly the result of natural development and therefore the structure of the rural areas will be more reflective of the cultural and historical traditions of the ethnic group. By studying the historical development of the countryside and the factors that have influenced its formation, I hope to find the core culture that belongs to this minority region and to help China overcome its existing rural dilemmas through new interpretations of traditional culture using new technologies.
