MOVEMENT STUDY #1 This series of surfer “movement studies” is a playful reminiscence of this part of my past, an ode to a formative period of my life overlaid on my San Diegan coastal upbringing. There are few things I have experienced in my life that are as pure and total in its disconnection with the world as sitting on a bar of foam on the great rippled plane of our oceans. It is my career’s antithesis. This humorous, almost interactive scribbling of pseudo-mathematical lines and nodes laying out all the nameless surfer’s possibilities represents this tension that continues to define me. ALBERT HONG Albert Hong is a photographer and mixed media artist based in New York, NY. He began his career as an analyst on Wall Street after earning a BS from New York University’s Stern School of Business. Driven by his formative years spent on the harsh, hyper-connected trading floors of the financial sector, his work centers around the curious human need for escape and disconnection, and the intimate role nature plays in its ultimate fulfillment. His work’s driving intention remains to rekindle our fascination for, appreciation of, and above all, a desire to conserve our only home.
The subject of this studies will be based on the Gasshō-style Traditional Japanese Farmhouse. Throughout this report, we will be looking closely at the history of this region and its towns, as well as the Gassho Zukuri Styled homes and their construction. Most prevalent in two villages in central japan — Shirakawa-go in Gifu Prefecture and Gokayama in Toyama Prefecture — The Gasshō-style farmhouse is a rare variant of Japanese Minka and as such, the two villages have been preserved and designated as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. The term minka literally means “houses of the people”, It covers houses that mainly belonged to the non-samurai castes such as farmers, fishermen, merchants etc. As such there are four different types of Minka. The Gassho Zukuri style home belongs to the Sanka group of Minkas which pertains to mountain houses.

Through a series of projects in the arid environment of Western Australia, predominantly built for Aboriginal communities, Kaunitz and Yeung Architecture has proposed a different approach to working with the beautiful, yet harsh, desert environment.
