| Review |
- Challenge:
- Chinese medicine is a traditional healing
method , which is contadicts to the liveliness
of a revitalisation project.
- The change of the historical building should
be emphasis.
- How to show the purpose of the revitalised
building?
- How to let people know it is only the first step
to launch the revitalisation process?
- Process:
- Brainstorm what visual images can be used to
signify chinese medicine, healing, revitalising
and launching?
- Different outlines and effects are tried to apply
on the historical building to compare changes
from time to time.
- A planned statue of "a Chinese medical doctor
checking a patient" in the public area of the
revistalisation site is discovered.
- Solution:
- The liveliness of plants canbe adopted to
bridge up the gap between "traditonal" and
"revitalised". Green colour of a plant born
from a nostalgic light-brown-yellow.
- Gradation of the building Lui Seng Chun is
used from the first step stage of inviation to
the stage of ceremony: from simple outline
first (in the invitation card), then from
complicated outline to revistalised photo ( in
the backdrop). Gradation bring attention on
changes from time to time.
- The planned statue of "a Chinese medical
doctor checking a patient" is converted into a
2D traditional Chinese ink illustration to push
the time clock even earlier than construction
of the buliding, to let people think of the
origin of this ancient wisdom.
