HERO WITH THREE FACES
Supervisor: Ian Nazareth
Is there a universal answer to solve ideology disputes? Is there even an answer? Hero with three faces looks into how architecture represents this ambiguous monumentality, based on the political and religious conflict issues in Tibet, the project grasps certain existing elements and analyse them, define them, tag them and build them. With three sites firstly located, the other two are then being monumentalism and projected back, plugging in to Lhasa Railway station again and this super infrastructure consists of a stall market which is a challenge from civil to religious power. A temple sits on top of Lhasa railway station as the suppression from religion took back its control power again. A nature reserve wetland which looks into how to build architecture from a brand-new ideology which reverses the role of civil and government. With three different faces expressed side by side, the focus then being revealed of not looking for a solution but creating a reversed element to make it even.
