Includes bibliographical references (p. 127-129). A possible resolution to prevent a strong tight-knit ethnic community from diminishing is through a reawakening to the heritage of the people. In this thesis I propose the creation of a CULTURAL EMBASSY to instill pride and arouse self-awareness of the well-educated Chinese first, and eventually the Chinese of all social levels in Boston to revitalize the entire Chinatown. Architecturally, this proposed building will carry a uniqueness of its own: a kind of cultural form and vocabulary containing the expression of today's technology and embodiment of the perpetual Chinese ideology in a Boston context. The appropriate "Chineseness" will be identified through the use of cultural vocabularies of the Chinese architectural language. by Horacio Y.W. Chin.
