20.2 Fig. 20.1 Javier Ruiz, Y4, Dragonfly Colony. The residential project is sited over the Red Hill Peninsula, South of Hong Kong Island. The modular housing typology, developed through variable/iterative systems, focuses on circulation strategies for housing schemes. Fig. 20.2 Thomas William Hopkins, Y4, Coast Line Thresholds. Using the study of thresholds to question conventional notions of space and challenge traditional distinctions between public/private and natural/built environments this housing project develops around a mangrove ecosystem along the coastline of Hong Kong, suggestive of a more porous and permeable architecture. Fig. 20.3 Joanna Pawlas, Y5, Sonic Morphologies, The Compact Accommodation Tower. The proposal investigates ways of analysing and inhabiting the urban 248
soundscape of Kwun Tong to generate controlled sonic environments through creation of site-specific, parametric geometry of reflective surfaces and levels of sonic permeability by means of natural acoustics.
