ALLEYWAY HONG KONG T H R E A T R E LA N E

2016 DECEMEBER

This project is to creat a meditation space by modular sculpture.

The designed sculpture and its allocation is coordinate with the surrounding.

Creating different alleyway within a alleyway. Concrete is the cooling agent and sound insulator. Meditation is engaged inside the different sculpture.

Concept Collage of alleyways in To Kwa Wan

SPATIAL ARRANGEMENT/ The designed concrete block communicate with the surrounding alleyway and wall.

The spatial arrangment of unique shaped blocks are tested in order to create different courtyard and alleyway spaces.

Some blocks are craved as a semi open space for activities which allows people to enjoy the silence moment within a noisy area similar to an alleyway space.

LIQUIDISE E X P E R I M E N T AL PROJECT

2017 MAY

This project is to create a space that leading human to keep moving forward by the twisting spatial elements. Before building up own design methodology, I have visited Hong Kong interiority to generate ideas of overlaping, continouity and twisting perception.I have explore my design methodology by using model rather than drawing to illustrate and investigate.

Final Positive Twisting Model Clay

Twisting Model/ The interior space can be observed afrer taking out the positive clay model. There are some line that leading you to move forward in order to create continuity in the space. The final outcome is to create an infinite continous space by using the the twisting line.

Negative Concrete Model Concrete

DRAWING/ Concept drawing of travelling sequence in Hong Kong interiority.

Twisting model exploration/ Twisting line need to be explored through different twisting clay. These are the casting model of exploration.

PERCEPTION RESEARCH PROJECT

2017 DEC

PERCEPTION is a research based project of how human perception alter through specific interiority - lighting and material.

RESEARCH A EXPERIMENT SETTING/ Light source Top | Left | Right | Front 600mm far away the floor 45 angle 2000lux Camera Setting Same angle Spatial Setting Wall and column with dimension Material Mirror | Metal | Plaster | Concrete Card Board box

This project gave me the insight of how different material affect the interior space for example the shadows, interior brightness, envelope brightness. The outcome of the project could be a guildline to create different specific space.

Primary and secondary research were both apply in this project/ The primary research is to observe how important is the allocation of objects/ subjects, materiality and existence of light to create an illusion of reality. Also, how can the existence of light and its reflecting charac- teristics become and essential factor of our spatial un- derstanding and emotional being.

SAME LIGHTING DIFFERENT MATERIAL/

DIFFERENT LIGHTING SAME MATERIAL/

CONCLUSION/ Mirror It provides the greatest interior and envelope brightness no matter any light source.Existing of different layer of shadow Metal Metal reflect the darkest shadow which is solid and rigid.

Plaster It reflect the lightest shadow and low- est envelope brightness.

Concrete It reflects lowest interior brightness.

TOP It provides the highest interior brightness because the light is evenly distur- buted.

LIGHT SOURCE The interior space change depends on the object.

Light source are not the main factor.

The light source close to reflective ma- terial, the reflection area will be bright- er

RESEARCH B SETTING/

The setting will be focus on the interior space. Investigating the light setting, perspec- tive, material, object in the image.

The purpose is to analysis how the space transform, how percetion change and atmosphere of sptial arrangment

CONCLUSION/ Artificial Light Artificial light illuminate on material shows the details and true colors.

It shows the harmony of the space and more evenly distributed lighting.

Natural Light The natural light illuminate on the hight reflective flooring affection user experience The interior space is darker at the daytime.

SECONDARY RESEACH 2

DRUNKARD F I N AL Y E A R PROJECT

2018 MAY

This is an exploration project about the walking stability of being drunk. Discovering how the spatial quality alters when consuming different quantities of beer.

The systematic design methodology will be applied in order to create the diversity of unbalance experience.

The proposed site is located in Kwun Tong Food Market due to low occupation rate and use rate.

Some of the empty stores are connected vertically and horizontally which allow me to arrange a connected space for design.

zoning & circulation/ The designed area are the empty space of the building which enable to divide 7 zone of drunken experience stage. The whole journey start from the rooftop to ground floor with downward sloping constantly.

Drunken experience/ In order to demonstrate the situation of drunk, I have draw out interior environment of consuming each can of beer. Investigating how the spatia elements alter from each drawing.

Sloping exploration/ Making of sloping model required lots of testing because of the characteristic of paper.

TEsting of stability/ Testing of walking stability by using spatial elements which are handrail and floor. There are 6 settings of the experiment.

Upward handrail - Going downward Upward handrail - Flat ground Downward handrail - Going upward Downward handrail - Flat ground Flat handrail - Going downward Flat handrail - Going upward

The spatial elements are restricted to 3 spatial elements which are handrail, floor and wall.

The variation of each stage are according to systematic arrangement.

For example, the handrail and floor sloping angle become steeper from beginning of the journey

SYSTEMATIC DESIGN This is a diagram illustrate the systematic design of spatial elements in each zone.

The section illustrated the data of variation in each zoning. The interior elements alter in a very subtle way from the begining to the extreme setting.

The extreme setting would certainly affect human walking stability.
