Message from Professor Xing Ruan

Dear All:


Congratulations on having completed Project 1: Artifice. I am sure by now you have already accepted these villas as fine architectural gifts. Better still, some of them have been inscribed in your minds. My hope is that your understanding of their artifice will have an impact on your future projects.


I hope you will gain some well-deserved rest, but please make sure you attend the Monday (6 April) lecture on time. The lecture on ‘Project 2: Room and Narrative’ will be in two parts: the architectural musings on window and room, and the design project.


With best wishes,

Xing
