Located in a quiet village on the river side by the River Nakaseki, this house is designed for a retiring dentist looking to spend his retirement life in the countryside. The project aims to be a model case for a small-scale low-cost house in a rural village, to rejuvenate the Japanese rurality, which has seen a widening rural-urban divide. By referencing a traditional Irimoya-style housing which was located on this site, this house relives the traditions in a compacted space which faces the river for a dialogue in thecalm rural lifestyle. site plan 1:250

In the ever densely packed city of Hong Kong, are there any ways to alleviate the limited space and thus incorporate design strategies into it? Through this project under Prof. Patrick HWANG’s research, research was conducted on Hong Kong’s new social housing system, and how it tackle issues brought by the increasing number of subpar housing units Hongkongers see today in cage homes and subdivided housing. In designing a multi-functional furniture, the design process can act as a communal platform, which could bring communities tighter together, through participatory design.

Research includes mock-ups and in-site testing, which culminated in a presentation at the 108th ACSA Annual Meeting, titled SMALL DIMENSIONS BIG IMPACT. comparative plan: subdivided units v.s. coliving units

INITIATIVES

Assorted research drew out these diagrams to further understand the root causes behind Hong Kong’s housing crisis, and how Social Furniture can fit into the puzzle. Social Furniture can ride the wave of the Social Housing initiative, which provides a sense of community between individual residents, which can give design features such as modularity and compactness, drawn from situational limitations in space, and the frequent relocation of residents.

What is the end goal of creating an architecture that invasively takes over a space and uses it for its own purpose? As designers, we should improve the lives of those in the communities we are influencing through our buildings, and not have destructive ulterior motives. But how do you design with the right intention, and know the idea you are proposing is the best for the communities involved? Until we gain all the knowledge in the world, architects should push the boundaries of the known and unknown, to design spaces that improve lives and bring joy to people.

The site is based in Pok Fu Lam Village, in a flat plain besides a mountain, educational institutions, and an apartment complex.

The village is one of the original settling locations of immigrants from the 1800s. To this day, significant traditions and cultures still live there day to day. These include the traditional dragon dance, a circular economy where people all support and are supported by their neighbours, as well as conflict with a large conglomerate housing estate.

15

For the facade system, initial investigations focused on utilising existent aesthetics.

The many corrugated steel plated rooftops were incorporated into the design.

Iterations were then made to vary opening forms, perforations and transparencies to differ the allowed light, view and passage aimed to create different spatial experiences Further changes were then made by layering the plates over to combat weather and precipitation. With more pragmatic functional benefits, aesthetic elements are also brought in.

The final iteration implemented the layering movement in the last iteration, but shaped to resemble a dragon’s scale, reminiscent of the cultural aspects of the villagers of Pok Fu Lam. The various iterations were then applied to the structure, maximising the cost efficiency for its complexity, whilst retaining the conceptual message of the facade. site plan 1:300

The floor plan shows a design of space with complexity and openness. With the use of facade types and open enclosures, transparent spaces are seen mixing and overlapping, based on program.

16

middle facade typology

Different implementations of layering the steel plates was tested, and the result can be seen below; Facade 1 below the floor, Facade 2 the roof, and Facade 3 the sides.

This maximizes efficiency in each of the different designs but also works conceptually. end facade typology

The cap of the layering steel plates sees a convergence in the different facade types.

The resultant curvature embodies a twisting movement of the dragon, emphasising the narrative.

17

18

On the whole, the escalator system allows a physical connection between programs, the village, and the estate. The different facade types also illustrate the spatial experiences one have have inside, and program type enclosed within.

The relationship between the village and the estate can be seen as a intermingling space for both sides, creating a spacious, high-ceiling interior for the community to enjoy, whilst bringing an intimate connecsection 1:300 tion pulling closer together.

19

The escalator system allows for a physical connection between programs, the village and villa. Separating the facade systems shows the three different facade types and their roles in maintaining a space for people to occupy as well as view. The form is expressed as a dancing dragon, weaving in and out of the densely packed village, through culture, history and tradition.

The relationship between the hill, village, estate, and road connect on how each view the roof of this building. Its connection emphasises the fading and renewing of culture and traditions over time, in how the building faces into the mountainside.

Keep calm, its a wrap.

This studio project revolves around the different programmatic and spatial requirements needed in varying conditions, contexts and surroundings. This municipal building defines the entry of the park as a concept, which creates an atrium space in the centre to act as a community link whilst holding programmes of a food court and leisure games area. The circulation spirals this centre space which looks onto the atrium space, creating desirable visual and lighting conditions and connections.

How do we serve a rurality?

This workshop held in Japan in the summer of 2018 consisted of a redesign and reconstruction of an 35 year old bus stop in a rural village of Japan. This was all completed within 5 days, along with 5 architecture students from around Asia.

Given the frequency of 6 buses per day, the bus stop is aimed to open up to the community and serve not only as a bus stop, but also a place of mingling for the nearby residents

Education centre for wood construction Cold climate This studio project explored into climatic design, to incorporate passive design features by taking consideration of the temperate, sun angle, wind directions etc.

Additionally, given the programme of an education centre for wood construction, larger spaces will be required for certain activities and equipment, such as the treatment and modification of the wood.

Based on this, structural form also plays a large part in the design of this studio project.
