    [EN] Architectural landmarks that represent a culture’s identity are also sanctuaries for cultural heritage preservation. The tallest and oldest wooden multi-story structure in the world, the Yingxian Wooden Pagoda of China is tilting at an ongoing rate that requires an urgency to find solutions to revert the damage. To preserve the evolving humanistic and artistic understandings of ancient Chinese architecture, and to cultivate the scientific reasoning behind ancient Chinese carpentry, new media allows digital and computational methods to replace human users who once manually analyzed data and information from cultural sites and artifacts. This article will exemplify new media tools such as animation via 3D/2D modeling, 3D scanning and virtual reality photography to examine material evidence of the Yingxian Wooden Pagoda of China, and the role new media can assist in its fight to sustain its originality since 1056.Highlights: Examination, documentation, research and education of architectural heritage sites using new media methods.Integration of old archives and digital/computational software to represent the outstanding value of the oldest and tallest wooden skyscraper in the world.Use of 2D/3D modelling and virtual reality photography developing information to increase awareness on cultural heritage sites suffering wood deterioration.[ES] Los hitos arquitectónicos que representan la identidad de una cultura también son santuarios para la preservación del patrimonio cultural. La pagoda de madera de Yingxian en China, la estructura de madera de varios pisos más alta y antigua del mundo, se inclina a un ritmo constante que requiere encontrar solución es urgentes que reviertan el daño. Para preservar la evolución humanística y la comprensión artística de la antigua arquitectura china, y para cultivar el razonamiento científico detrás de la antigua carpintería china, los nuevos medios de comunicación permiten asistencia digital y computacional a los usuarios humanos que analizaban manualmente los datos y la información de los sitios culturales y los artefactos. La evidencia alcanzada a partir de las investigaciones previas unido a que los métodos de documentación clásicos requerían una comprensión sólida de la información realizada por el investigador, conlleva a que los registros se puedan describir como estáticos y anticuados, y que solo pueden ofrecer información tal y como se presenta. Los nuevos medios de comunicación ofrecen a la Pagoda de madera de Yingxian la última asistencia digital para encontrar descubrimientos que no eran posibles de llevar a cabo en investigaciones anteriores usando los métodos clásicos. La ayuda de programas y herramientas computacionales amplía la evidencia ocultada en los sitios patrimoniales. Este artículo ejemplificará las nuevas herramientas de comunicación, como la animación a través del modelado 3D/2D, el escaneado 3D y la fotografía de realidad virtual para examinar la evidencia material de la Pagoda de madera de Yingxian, y el papel que los nuevos medios pueden desempeñar en su lucha por mantener la originalidad de esta pagoda budista de madera desde 1056.Lai, DS.; Leung, AK.; Chan, D.; Ching, SH.

    Better Life? Drawing the People’s 2010 Shanghai World Expo

    This dissertation presents a research-creation investigation of the phenomenon of visitor activities at the 2010 Shanghai World Expo, the results of which later became part of the visual culture of the event in the form of a 200-page drawing folio entitled Expo Daily. Featuring 130 watercolour illustrations (ranging from 25.4 x 30.5 centimetres to 21.9 x 29.7 centimetres) accompanied by field notes, Expo Daily uses primary data gathered over a forty-two day period through observation, drawing, and information gathered from local newspapers. Critical analysis included verification with secondary sources to report and reduce the raw data. The drawing folio subsequently served as the main unit of study for this dissertation by providing graphic (illustrated) case studies of three kinds of visitor activities: visitors preferring to buy counterfeit Haibao toys rather than the officially licensed Expo souvenirs, visitors picnicking on fairgrounds not designed for accommodating sedentary groups, and visitors passing up exhibition displays in favour of collecting souvenir stamps. The findings suggest that many visitors engaged in social practices very different from those anticipated by the Shanghai Expo’s official pavilions, which showcased the theme “Better City, Better Life.” This study argues that these divergent visitor activities speak to China’s issues of class inequality, and alternative narratives of nationality once visitors left the pavilions for the fairgrounds of the Expo. Visitor activities, therefore, highlight the question of “Better Life?” in order to investigate how local Chinese attendees contested the Shanghai Expo’s official programs
