    Falling of the Great Wall
    Falling of the "Great Wall": A Storybook Freedom is so fragile, so is equality. The ghost of racism and unprovoked hatred is wandering in every corner of the world. Nature — a hurricane, earthquake, or contagion — can so easily destroy the balance of human society. The recent coronavirus outbreak led to a fictitious allegory of a future Chinatown based on current circumstances. Threaded throughout this story are sparks of humanity appearing during a gloomy time of fear. As so often has happened in history, architecture reveals the will to adapt and human resistance along with the reactions of a community facing political and social instability. In the story, architecture and people are gradually “healed” through the re-adaptation of individual and urban spaces.
