Paradoxical Boundary<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Artifact<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n The methodology of this thesis is mapping. My thesis focuses on the boundary of different regions and take the Hong Kong & Shenzhen as an example. It is concerned with the paradoxical situation of confrontation and cooperation based on the politic, society, economy and architecture. With proper study, plan and design, my thesis aims to rethink the boundary with frontier closed area and propose the new \u201cparadoxical boundary\u201d with ambiguity in some aspects as well as distinctness in other aspects.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n WHAT?<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n The site is located at the frontier closed area between Hong Kong & Shenzhen. The background contains the condition of boundary with frontier closed area and the situation between two cities. I will research on the economy, history, urban planning of Shenzhen and Hong Kong and propose integrated system with different scales. The research and design scale comprises region, urban and architecture. And the thesis will also deal with the issues of politic, economy, society, architecture.<\/p>\n Paradoxical : Distinctions: <\/p>\n <\/p>\n
\nThe relationship between Shenzhen and Hong Kong is not only about two cities, but also about Mainland and Hong Kong. The two parts have many distinctions leading to confrontation as well as demanding communication. This kind of paradoxical condition offers a perfect background for the design research on the boundary.<\/p>\n
