　　Applied Program: ARCHITECTURE

　　People once asked me: “Why did you choose architecture?” I couldn’t give a simple answer for that. Maybe it was because I like painting and construction since childhood. I also earnestly yearn to create beautiful things on my own and architecture can satisfy my imagination in space, materials, and color. My born interest in this sector is also because of my parents, who are both structural engineer and electrical engineer, influencing me gradually and unconsciously since I was a kid and giving me perceptual knowledge in the field. After my five-year study in the Department of Architecture, and one-year work experience in architectural design, I ask myself this same question. The result is that aside from the factors mentioned above, what really makes me choose architecture is its intrinsic appeal, which is just like the maxim written inside the building of the Department of Architecture: “Architecture is the combination of art and technology.”

　　Perhaps when a person is engaged in what his keen interest blossoms, he will never feel tired, instead he would feel motivated and have an enriching experience. Five years‘ academic study in the School of Architecture and Arts of University of XX transformed my instinctive excitement and imagination about architecture into systematic knowledge and comprehensive understanding. This transformation, first of all, lies in my skills in the fine arts. Differing from my previous mere interest in fine arts, the study of architecture makes me begin to ponder on how to draw using aesthetic elements from fine arts such as color, lighting and composition to apply to architecture. I was so dedicated to such brainstorming and imagination that I would always work around the clock in the studio for days on end. Secondly, the study of basic architectural courses, such as architectural structure, mechanics and materials science, makes me realize that architecture not only gives importance on aesthetics, but also on the more essential functionality and practicality. In that process, I realized that architecture is not only an art, but also more importantly a sort of technology. Five years of college study gives me a deeper comprehension of architecture, that is, architecture is also part of other cultures - it is subject to other cultures‘ influence, and at the same time it influences other cultures.

　　Because of my childhood architectural background, coupled with my lasting keen interest in architecture, I gained excellent achievements in the major courses of my college study, ranked top three in the class, and also received first prize scholarships and many other scholarships for five consecutive years. Besides, owing to my understanding of architecture, I am not satisfied with mere textbook knowledge. I believe architecture is not only a skill but also, more importantly, a combination of creativity and imagination. An excellent architecture designer needs not only solid architectural skills and knowledge, but also needs nourishment from fine arts, materials science, engineering and culture. For that purpose, I read quite extensively, understood the architectural history of different countries - especially European architectural history, learnt from works of modern and contemporary architectural masterpieces, and gained insights on their design conceptions that are full of creativity and connotation. The knowledge I have gained from these forts heightens my interests and my desire for creation.

　　I had the opportunity to put to practice this desire for creation during the last stage of my college study. During the second semester of my fourth year, I interned with XX for half a year where I participated in the environmental design of the XX astronomical station and the conceptual design of the Phoenix Residential Complex in XX. These experiences gave me insights into the relationship between a building‘s space and its functionality, as well as architectural design‘s feasibility, which is an important factor to consider when designing.

　　After graduating in 2002, I worked with an excellent architectural design institute, engaging in architectural design. In the meantime, I participated in the conceptual design and design drafts of the janitor’s room, the main machine hall of XX Company Ltd. I was also responsible for the design of the drafts of the multi-purpose hall in XX , XX and the renovation design of the XX Archives of the XX. Because of my prominent achievements, I was quickly promoted as an exception from draftsmen to designer, and I later got the assistant engineer certificate in a short period of time.

　　The design experiences from these projects made me very interested in creatively applying materials in projects. Meanwhile, I also continuously learned new ideas in architecture from different countries, and especially saw a lot of design drawings of overseas architectural masters. All these experiences have a great impact on me, sparking my intention of studying abroad to learn more in-depth contemporary international architectural conceptions. I especially aspire to get to know in more detail modern western architectural history in the hopes of forming my own architectural conceptions.

　　Besides this, another intense desire of mine is to comprehensively learn the relationship between architecture and culture, and through the study of western architecture, to determine China‘s own architectural style. China once boasted of a developed ancient architecture, while its modern architecture loses the characteristics of its indigenous culture, a great deal of architecture lingers merely on the stage of rough and superficial imitation of western architecture. I hope to form a sort of architectural design conception with characteristics of China‘s traditional culture after extensively absorbing modern architectural theories and technologies. That is what I yearn to do and also what I believe I can make.

　　“Lady First!” I issued this resolutely (the “lady” rerring to myself), not as an invitation, but as an order, to the nine gentlemen who comprised the members of the interning team under my leadership. With this order that sounded with indisputable authority, I climbed into the 50-meter-high cooling tower that was in high-speed operation, with measuring instruments in my hand. To the amazement of everyone present, I succeeded in measuring the working ficiency of the cooling tower.

　　This event happened in May 2002 when I, as the Master’s student from Department of Building Science, School of Architecture, XX University, led a team of undergraduates in the energy-conserving renovation project of the New XX Mansion in XX. As team leader and the sole female of the team, I acted both as engineer and project manager. Whenever challenging responsibilities presented themselves— whether to measure the cooling water volume by groveling on the 15-meter-high water pipe or to test the wind pressure by crouching in the air unit of only 3 cubic meters, I behaved always under this “Lady-First!” philosophy. With my leadership, professional knowledge and indatigable commitment, I led my team with this unique charisma to successfully complete the entire energy conservation project within a span of two months. Our contributions ultimately led to a $40,000 reduced cost in the mansion’s energy consumption. This was just one of the many energy conservation research and renovation projects for buildings that I have participated in over the past three years.

　　From the very outset of my undergraduate career in XX University, I have evolved a unique interpretation of this “Lady-First!” philosophy. For me, it is a constant reminder of self-motivation. In the ivory tower of the School of Architecture, XX University (arguably the best university in China), where the best young talents of the country concentrate, I have always told myself to fight for the best, both in academic study and in academic research. To my satisfaction, I have delivered on the promise that I have made to myself. My undergraduate academic record shows that my GPA in my specialty reached 91/100, ranking top 2 in my male-dominated class. My distinctive academic performance resulted in my acceptance into the direct Master’s program in 2001 exempted from entrance examination, a privilege for which only the best few in a department are eligible. For over 6 years at XX University, I have learned a large number of foundational courses in Building Environment and Technology. My academic transcript indicates that I have excelled not only in mathematics, computer science and English but also in most specialized courses such as Heat and Mass Transfer, Fluid Dynamics, Building Environment, Integrated Building System Design, all scoring over 90/100. In particular, I scored 99/100 in Electrical Science and Electrical Engineering, ranking first in a total of 200 students. Naturally I was awarded a number of major honors and scholarships of the university. Such a solid foundation has endowed me with full confidence for more successful academic undertakings in the future.

　　My distinguished academic performance qualified me for much research work. Under the direction of my supervisor Professor XX(vice-president of our department)even when I was a senior undergraduate, I have focused my research on Indoor Air Quality (IAQ)—an important branch of the science of building environment, and have achieved fruitful research findings on the physical emission mechanisms of VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) which pose serious hazards to IAQ. As a member of XX University’s key laboratory —Indoor Environment Research Group—and under the sponsorship of XX (the best honor foundation in China), I have succeeded in constructing an innovative VOC Emission Model which, by modifying the inaccuracies in the existing mathematic models, have obtained the model’s analytical solutions. I have further calculated the error of other analytical model’s neglects, made the analytical solution dimensionless, clarified the physical emission mechanism, and presented suitable formulae for describing characteristics of VOCs emission from building material). This research project, whose level of difficulty has been commented by my supervisor as comparable to a Ph.D. project, has won credit to my group and myself for their creativity and practicality. At present, I have built up my experiment chamber and will perform experiments on the identification of material properties. Moreover, under the leadership of Prof. XX, the president of our department, I have been collaborating with other researchers in developing a software package (funded by XXX) whose building environment modeling can simulate the heat, humidity, VOCs concentration, equipment operation and zonal model. My performance has been highly rated by the project director and American experts.

　　Based on my research over the past three years, I have published 3 papers indexed by SCI (another paper accepted by journal indexed by SCI will be published soon), 1 paper indexed by EI, 4 papers published in international meetings, and several papers published in China’s national journals (Please rer to my Resume for more details). I was the only undergraduate in my specialty to have SCI publication and I am now legitimately the No. 1 student in my class in terms of the number and the quality of the publications.

　　Without a strong motivation, my achievements in coursework and research would be absolutely impossible. Yes, I am truly interested in Building Science and Technology and their relevant fields. The more I delve into my studies, the more I become obsessed by such questions—how to improve the environmental quality of buildings, how to produce a desirable building environment in an energy and resource-ficient manner, and how to prevent and solve the sick building syndrome (SBS) and multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS)? As a student from China’s best university with a strong background in Building Environment and Technology, I feel I have major responsibilities to perform with the boom of China’s building industry. I see my research and future career as very meaningful because they can facilitate the harmonious co-existence between man and environment and I can be immediately instrumental to the society, of which I am a part. What is most exhilarating about Building Environment and Technology is that it is a science replete with humanistic concerns!

　　By the time I compose this Statement of Purpose, my supervisor has suggested that I proceed onto a Ph.D. program at XX University. However, I have decided to apply for a Ph.D. program in Building Science and Technology at XX because I am convinced that as a leading “research university”, XX can better satisfy my resolution to develop myself into a first-rate researcher in Building Technology by bringing my potential into fullest play with its unparalleled academic environment and research facilities. Your program features 59 members of teaching staff and academic staff, supplemented by excellent visiting faculty, researchers and instructors. I would like to work under Prof. x. x., Prof. x. x., Prof. x. x., and Prof. x. x., because I am interested in such fields as x. x., x. x.., x. x.. Your program also features sponsored research projects, a diversity of studios and workshops, which will expose me to both practitioners and other international scholars working with important issues in their field of interest. Such a nurturing academic environment is precisely what an aspiring student like me desperately needs.

　　Triumph only belongs to those who never stop probing. Human beings never stop probing because the forts to make our life better are infinite. Building Science and Technology is ultimately about making our life better and for this very reason I know that I will never stop probing for the rest of my life.

　　Applied Program: ARCHITECTURE

　　It is once said that architecture is frozen music, and a nice building is a beautiful poem ever composed on the fragrant ground. The artistic glamour and practical applicability make it a perfect combination of both beauty and practicality. In the long history of mankind&aposs development, pieces of magnificent movements have been constantly composed, and scores of exquisite verses have been written. This is rlected in those marvelous structures as from China&aposs Great Wall to the Parthenon in ancient Greece, and from the Great Arena in ancient Rome to Egyptian Pyramids. All these breathtaking and soul-stirring wonders, as a token of human civilization, have blended the most magnificent element in the universe with the inexhaustible creative ability of mankind.

　　As a little girl, I was deeply attracted by these architectural wonders shown on books. At that time, I was frequently perplexed by one question -- "How could it be if these wonders were constructed and erected on the horizon bit by bit by people?" In order to find out the truth, I began to try putting up these splendid buildings with my little and delicate hands, using toy bricks as the materials. It was from that time on that my desire to explore the secret of architecture started to sprout.

　　Along with my growing up, the young sapling of architecture keeps growing in my mind, eventually turning into the direction of my pursuit. In 1990, I was recommended for admission to one of the best departments of architecture in XXX University, thus starting a pilgrimage to the magnificent palace of architectural arts. As far as the five-year study of my undergraduate courses is concerned, I regard it as a process of fundamental education in which architectural theories and approaches to both classical and modern architecture are comprehensively taught. By virtue of my keen interest and diligence in acquiring knowledge, during the five-year studies in the university, I have made excellent achievements in my academic studies as the top four in our grade respecting academic scores.

　　From my point of view, the five-year study is not only a long process of knowledge accumulation, but a continuous and happy spiritual journey as well. I am deeply absorbed in the infinite space for imagination rendered by architecture in the aspects of its structure, form, color and material. No matter what I have learned is about basic cartography, model-making, or understanding the architectural thoughts put forward by both eastern and western masters on architecture through my own practice and experiments, I can always find delight in studies and a passion for creation. In the artistic palace of architecture, I persist in my learning with untiring vigor and take heart&aposs content to roam in the treasure-house of architectural arts constructed by those respectable predecessors in the field of architecture. Meanwhile, I have also learned to enjoy the joys brought about by architectural designing and put my heart into it through my personal practice. Therore, by applying my in-depth studying of theories to practice, I have benited a great deal in my academic studies.

　　Although my remarkable achievements and an excellent graduation dissertation have helped to bring my five-year academic studies to a successful close, my keen craving for the architectural knowledge spurs me on to pursue an advanced and further study for a master&aposs degree. While doing my M.A. programs, based on my previous solid foundation of professional knowledge, I continued to make a thorough and profound probe into theoretical learning on architecture. During this period of time, I have made a systematic study of the architectural thoughts and ideas advanced by Smith, Foster and Zumthor. Such a systematic theoretical study has thus enabled a tentative and personal viewpoint on architecture to take shape. Along with it also goes my deep interest in the development history of China&aposs modern architecture, which results in my final decision to take this subject as the orientation of my M.A. dissertation. After in-depth and meticulous investigation and survey on the development history of China&aposs modern architecture, I have completed my dissertation entitled "XXX". In this dissertation, I have managed to probe into the impact and influences exerted by the western trend of thoughts in modern architecture&aposs development on China&aposs traditional architecture complex, and summarized several development climax in the history of China&aposs modern architecture. Moreover, the present coexistence state of multi-elements embodied in China&aposs architectural industry is also analyzed in the last part of my paper. My supervisor spoke highly of my dissertation due to its unique perspective, and my paper also won the honorary title, "The Excellent Dissertation". Apart from this dissertation, I have also pondered over environment-friendly buildings, and then sorted out my thinking results regarding this problem into a paper which was later published in a domestic periodical"XXXXX"?

　　Upon my graduation, my supervisor had once invited me to retain to work in the university and continued my research on the same subject. However, I realized that I need more practice and experimental experience, despite the fact that I have a fairly solid foundation on my theoretical training. As far as an architect is concerned, experience is the source of inspiration. Bearing this thought in mind, I began to work for one of the best architectural companies in China. During my two years&apos working in the company, I have undertaken many design projects, most of which have been highly appraised. For instance, the scheme of the XXX , in which I have taken part in designing, won the first prize in the Contest of Project Schemes. A large quantity of practice has thus helped to check my architectural ideas. Nevertheless, this has also revealed some weak points existing in China&aposs present architectural industry considering the aspect of its theories, particularly the lack of necessary guidance by applying theory to practical designing. This insufficiency of theoretical guidance will inevitably result in an artistic height hard for the designed buildings to reach. Such acknowledgment has finally facilitated my thought of pursuing an advanced study abroad. By doing so, I hope I can make a thorough and deeper study of advanced theories and methods of western architecture, thus promoting my design ability to a higher level.

　　One essential inadequacy in China&aposs current architectural design is that architects tend to be overly occupied with the external shape and structure of a building. They overlook the application of new construction technology and fail to take into account the properties of new construction materials. For example, steel structures are beginning to be widely applied on domestic buildings, but few architects have developed a sufficient command of the relevant knowledge in this field, resulting in their relatively low designing level when such steel structures are involved. This is an area that a truly well-trained architect can achieve important breakthroughs. Therore, I also plan to concentrate my future studies on this area.

　　As I was coming to the bottom line of this personal statement, I couldn&apost help thinking of the little and delicate hands when I was a young girl, together with the scene of my putting up those toy bricks with those little hands. At that time, I must have imagined that, someday in the future, the once clumsy little hands would sure grow stronger and more creative, and would ultimately write the most beautiful architectural poems from the ground.

　　My scholarly focus has evolved in recent years from the cultural to the intercultural. To my mind, culture, that potpourri of historical, religious, and imagined markers of identity, is no longer a satisfactory disciplinary framework. My research has turned instead to the overlapping intercultural spaces where peoples have always met and exchanged ideas, views, belis, and practices, and, in the process, created architecture. This is the common thread that runs through several of my latest articles, which deal with diverse topics ranging from the shaping of the taste of the Turkish medieval elite, to the conscious appropriation of classical principles in early Islamic architecture, to the changing political meaning underlying the architecture of Hassan Fathy, the father of modern vernacular architecture.

　　In advocating a re-conceptualization of Islamic Architecture as a coherent yet fluid, multifaceted, and open-minded field of study, I formulate three questions: How can we study a culturally dined architectural tradition without reducing it to essential and timeless categories? How can we critique the dominant architectural paradigm without totally discarding the idea of paradigm itself or turning away from its instructive examples? How can we rethink the periodization of Islamic architectural history in a more representative way without cutting it off from a comparative historical framework? These broad programs of research inform my next book project: writing a critical historiography of Islamic architecture, critical not only in pointing out the biases and shortcomings of past inquires, but also in highlighting the theoretical and ideological preconceptions underlying present inquires.

　　My affiliation with the Aga Khan Program for Islamic Architecture taught me to approach Islamic architecture as a scholarly field in the process of redrawing its epistemological and methodological contours in order to become a more active and integral component of world architecture. This view is guided by a personal sense of responsibility toward the discipline and by a beli that those who specialize in a field of study should not only question what they study or how but also why they are studying it. To this end, my lecture courses and seminars present architecture in ways that illuminate its interaction with culture and society and stress the role of human agency in shaping and reshaping that interplay.

　　I also see the Aga Khan Program as a unique vehicle to assess, adjust, and redine our role as educators in a fast changing global setting and to foster academic links with the producers and interpreters of architecture in different parts of the Islamic world today. What I have been trying to organize is a "community of interest" that brings together the members of our small group at MIT —students and faculty— with colleagues across the department of architecture and the Institute as well as in centers of study and research in the US and abroad.

　　This objective has informed my policy in choosing the participants in the three extra-academic programs I supervise: the speakers at AKPIA’s “An Evening With” lecture series, the recipients of our travel grants, and the postdoctoral researchers in our visiting scholars programs. In this intellectual network, the role that I assigned to myself some years ago as interpreter of Islamic architecture and urbanism past and present has expanded in scope and methods but it certainly has not lost its strong humanistic grounding.

　　This document is being submitted in support of my application for admission into your program.

　　Born in June 1974, I grew up in Lanzhou, a city that boasts of a history of thousands of years and a cultural heritage that is as colorful as it is old. Few cities, either in China or beyond, can match it in the richness of architectural styles. Stradding the upper Yellow River that sired the Chinese civilization, Lanzhou prides itself in both her past glory laden in the ancient structures on the north bank and her new found prosperity oozing out of the dazzling high-rises in the south. Although, as a child, I was not always able to articulate my admiration for such striking contrast, I constantly beheld the city&aposs landscape in awe. I began to understand, at that young age, that architecture can be a powerful symbol of culture, a people and the spirit of an era.

　　My first intellectual mentor, one of my parents&apos best friends, was an artist seasoned in oil painting and photography. She often brought me with her when she traveled, and it was on these trips that her creative mind worked in full gear. I thus observed how human hands could work wonders by recreating the beauty of natural scenery in the form of sketches, paintings and photos. What was more important, I got to know that there are professions of creative work that calls for imagination and craftsmanship.

　　Fervent with creative art and fascinated with architectural design, I entered in 1992 into the Department of Architecture of Tsinghua University, China&aposs top engineering school, on the strength of my outstanding performance in the highly competitive National University Entrance Examinations.

　　At Tsinghua, I went through five years of vigorous training and thus acquired exquisite skills in drawing and design. Since I understood from early childhood that inspiration often comes from nature, I traveled far and wide throughout China&aposs vast territory, setting my foot even in outlying Tibet and Xingjiang, both in the country&aposs westernmost interior. These travels allowed me to trace modern China&aposs culture to its different sources, and the variety not only deeply impressed me but also fired my imagination. In my graduation project, Cashi Contemporary Art Museum in Xinjiang, I successfully blended a natural environment into my artistic design by using a system of water circulation to support and sustain the building. As the most significant resource in an agricultural enclave surrounded by desert, water represents hope for both the people and their land. With the water circulation system, the building took on added vitality.

　　In mid-1997, I graduated with my B. S. and took a job as a designer with the Beijing-based "company." My career as an architect thus took off.

　　Once I have settled into the real world of architectural design, I developed my career path quickly, playing substantial roles in a stream of projects. To date, my most significant responsibility has been to work as a main designer in (a key state) project, in which I led a group of my colleagues in meeting a daunting challenge. In addition to gaining a profound understanding of the technical difficulties necessarily attendant to such large-scale projects, I learned to work fectively within a team that also included my clients and colleagues. The teamwork thus not only strengthened my professional competence at conceptual and technical design but also honed my leadership skills that can be put to good use in other situations. As a result, I now feel even more confident of myself than I was bore.

　　My experience in general, and the six years of frequent traveling in particular, has lt an indelible mark on my intellectual development. As I can now readily appreciate a society&aposs cultural, historical and socio-political impact on its architectural styles, I now try to rlect my own cultural and social background in my own designs. These days, I view architecture not just as a career but, more importantly, as an expression of my professional progress, and I fell that it is an view more compatible with Western rather than Chinese pedagogy. In any case, I have already been through China&aposs best school for architectural studies, and I am convince that the further development of my professional qualifications requires more advanced training in a school like yours. I believe that advanced studies under your seasoned guidance will endow me with a broader vision and more profound insights, with which I can make still more contribution to my motherland China.

　　Architecture. The true functionality of art and design. During my life I have always been unable to choose between art and science and affected me to choose a wide variety of subjects whenever I had the chance. I&aposve always been inspired by the built environment around me from a place as simple as my home to the tallest sky scraper to the traditional indigenous structural design of the east.

　　During my work experience at a small architectural firm, I learned so much about the diversity a firm is involved in from remedial admin work to going on-site, meeting various different people never in the same situations. I really did enjoy this and I was more amazed by how, even though a small business was still in touch with their creative side and this was beyond doubt noticeable in their work and final products. Also while there I was given a project which started with bri from a client and led to me being extensively involved in. I aided the design of the house itself and hence gained a lot of experience in a computed aided design package called ArchiCad and in a related programme called Piranesi.

　　Recently I eagerly participated in a summer school at The Bartlett, UCL in which we were given an assignment similar to a typical first year architectural project in which I can only say I thoroughly enjoyed right to the end. I believe this is another motivating factor in me aspiring to architecture. Throughout the 2 week course, (calling it a course doesn&apost sound right because it was so much enjoyable) we started with a task which involved our groups of two going on a journey all over London and were given clues to identify a tribe member in the community we were sent to. After this we collated our findings and translate our interpretations into a series of quick 3D models and collages. We had to consider such things as size, scale colour and composition incorporating the theme of the summer school itself, the London festival of architecture. To be honest we were faced with our fair share of problems but using teamwork and hard work we overcome all these hitches and ended up with a final one-time performance piece. The whole experience flared my creativity to such fascinating new heights. I loved it. To this day I still try and involve to extreme imagination skills I gained from my 2 week course.
