De Hui House Liber Artis Editionis Limitatae

Hic liber artis architecturam stili Hui depingit, unicam scholam architectonicam quae principia designationis Sinicae meridionalis septentrionalisque coniunxit, nunc partem evanescentem sed gravem hereditatis culturalis Sinae. Per innovativam dispositionem paginarum cum fenestris quae transitum ab illustrationibus bidimensionalibus ad immersivum prospectum culturae tridimensionalem stili Hui praebent, particulas architectonicas cum referentia spatiali detegit, deprecationem visualem praebens quae auditores latiores ad conservationem architecturae stili Hui allicit.

Merita, sodales gregis et singula technica a designatore praebita.

Proprietates Singulares: This limited edition art book depicts Hui-style architecture, the only ancient architectural school that fuses southern lofted structures with northern courtyard layouts, a fading heritage in China. The "windows" of each page transform 2D views into a delicate 3D Hui-style panorama, “unveiling” not only architectural details with spatial reference and proportionality but also the research of Hui houses from the misty Huizhou region, an appeal to protecting Hui-style residential architecture.

Technologia Productionis: 3D slicing transforms traditional 2D images into immersive 3D panoramas of Hui-style architecture. The acetate fiber printing enhances the visual depth and clarity, forming interactive "windows" that detail the spatial reference with proportions of Hui-style buildings. Those innovative approaches allow for a dynamic exploration of architectural details and spatial relationships, which offers a unique educational and exhibitive tool for preserving and understanding architectural heritage.
Provocatio Designandi: Research indicates that Hui studies, as one of only three prominent local scholarly traditions in China, face risks due to its inland geographical and historical contexts.

Field research shows that Hui architecture as a crucial cultural heritage is fading: Neglect, poor maintenance, and auctions are causing Hui architectural groups to vanish from the misty Huangshan and collective memory. Also, its construction skills, the core intangible cultural heritage, are nearing extinction.
Investigatio: Hui-style architecture was selected as a focal theme of the Hui cultural heritage conservation project to enhance public awareness and invigorate Hui culture, as it embodies both the tangible heritage of habitats and the intangible heritage of construction techniques. Based on architectural analysis, the Hui style is China's sole architectural tradition that merges southern loft structures with northern courtyards, an increasingly scarce but essential part of the Chinese cultural fabric.
Inspiratio: This project describes Hui-style architecture, capturing the atmospheric visual elements of the Hui region settlements under the mists at the foot of the Yellow Mountains, drawing formative inspiration from the Hui architecture's penetrating layout with white walls and black tiles as structural and style motifs.
Unfolding the layers of artistic and cultural forms and structures of Hui houses, thereby showcasing the minimalist aesthetic but also engaging readers in a spatial learning journey.
Duratio Operis: Launched in Jan 2023 in Boston, prototype bound in Suzhou, China. The project finished in Oct 2023, and was exhibited in HuiZhou Museum, and Bengbu Museum, China.
Cursus Operationis: Upon first glance, a see-through window channel from the cover to the back attracts readers to Hui-style architecture. As pages turn, iconic sections with narratives and extended details lead readers to a self-paced tour through the building. Layered pages allow users to pause between two sections to observe spatial relationships and different perspectives. This interaction makes ancient, intricate concepts accessible and engaging, fostering a profound impact on spreading Hui cultural heritage.
