P1: The Purpose: Extreme INTERIORS Time disruptor Lamma Island Our task is to journey into Extreme Interiors and arrive at a serious, considered and critical position on the Architectural Purpose of your own education you will over the course of the 5 weeks develop a range of skills in the production of architectural artefacts. From Animation, Photography, From Photoshop to Publishing.

Utilising ethnographic methodologies you will engage in a vertical project at the beginning to uncover a communities and reimagine architectural solutions.

It’s interesting that I exploring the concept of time through different environments on Lamma Island. The way we perceive time can be influenced by our surroundings.The feeling of panic in a dark environment can make time seem longer because we’re more aware of the passing of each moment. On the other hand, being in a vast open space where we can see the road ahead can make us feel like time is in our control because we have a sense of direction and purpose.

It’s also worth noting that our perception of time can be affected by physical distance as well. Even though some places may seem close, the time it takes to get there can be longer than expected due to various factors like terrain, obstacles, or distractions. This can be frustrating, but it’s also a reminder that time is a precious resource that we shouldn’t take for granted.

Overall, my observations show that time is not just a fixed concept but can be perceived differently depending on our environment and circumstances. Keep exploring and discovering new perspectives on time!

My narrative is a person from Central who went to Lamma Island for bird watching

Antitheses

Aim OVERWORKED Employees are overworked and unhappy in their jobs. The average worker spends more than 44 hours at work every week.

So they especially cherish the holiday time. I hope that the family can relax and get away from the troubles of the city.

In order to further understand their background, we collected different materials, about most of the lifestyles of people in Central, and studied why they would go to Lamma Island during their holidays. In fact, most people in cities are under heavy pressure. Working hours in Hong Kong are very long. So they will cherish the time of vacation, leave the urban environment they think, and relax in Lamma Island.

The Programme EXPENSIVE HOUSING Hong Kong has a booming economy, wellknown for its skyscrapers and considered to be a perfect example of the modern city. A huge centre for culture and a fast adapting urban environment make Hong Kong one of the most expensive places to buy property.

Urban places are densely populated with few wide open spaces

PRESSURE Hong Kong is a bustling metropolis with a highly competitive and fast-paced environment, which can create a significant amount of pressure on its people. The city’s high cost of living, competitive job market, and densely populated living conditions can all contribute to stress and anxiety.

We will be challenged to creatively and divergently design a mixed use Temple of Antitheses, which examines sensory and social condition of the Hong Kong Seaside settlement.

Final Free play-P2: Element 1

The source of inspiration was when transient was photographing birds and imitating their movements on Lamma Island Bird have always given people the feeling of freedom, they have wings to fly, and they don’t have to follow the human path You can see the picture of Central, when people are in a dense environment, birds can fly high as if they are out of the denseness of the city Enjoyawiderspace,awayfromsomenoiseandawayfrom some density, you can choose a relaxing space by yourself How can a person replace a bird and find a relaxing space of his own For example, when a bird is flying at high speed, some very tight lines can be some soft curves for them.For example, in the wide view in the air, what you see is not a route, but islands archipelago.

Finally, I stand in the first person’s position. The natural environment of Lamma Island was used as the base map. The angle is like standing under many tall buildings and looking at the sky. The tall building began to twist, like a bird about to get out of its cage. form some spatial structures!

Project requirement One of the benefits of experiencing bird sensory is the ability to connect with nature on a deeper level. By simulating the sensory experience of birds, individuals can gain a greater appreciation for the beauty and complexity of the natural world. This can enhance their overall bird Watching experience and encourage a greater respect for the environment and the creatures that inhabit it.

In addition, experiencing bird sensory can provide a sense of calm and relaxation that is beneficial for mental health and well-being. Studies have shown that exposure to nature can reduce stress levels and promote a more positive mood. Bysimulating the sensoryexperience of birds , individuals can tap into this calming effect and let go of the stresses and pressures of daily life.

Another advantage of experiencing bird sensory is the opportunity to learn more about different bird species. By listening to bird calls and songs, individuals can become familiar with the unique characteristics of different bird species and enhance their identification skills when out in nature.

In conclusion, experiencing bird sensory is a unique and exciting way for bird watchers to connect with nature and appreciate the beauty of different bird species. By simulating the sensory experience of birds, individuals can gain a deeper appreciation for the natural world and experience a sense of freedom and relaxation that is often lacking in our busy lives. This project offers a new way to take a break from the hustle and bustle of daily routine and immerse oneself in the beauty and wonder of the natural world.

Site analysis -2023

The sun shines into the building from the seaside.

From 12:00 to 15:00, the first floor of the new building will be blocked by the buildings next to it.(2023)

Yung Shue Wan Ferry Pier is located on Lamma Island, Hong Kong. To get there, you can take a ferry from Central Pier 4 in Hong Kong Island. Here are the steps: Take the MTR to Central station on Hong Kong Island.

Proceed to Pier 4, which is the one on the far right.

Board the ferry when it arrives and enjoy the scenic 30-minute ride to Yung Shue Wan Pier on Lamma Island.

Once you arrive at Yung Shue Wan PierIt takes about seven minutes to reach the destination.

Project scope Bird watching is a beloved pastime enjoyed by many, offering a chance to connect with nature and observe the stunning beauty and unique behaviors of different bird species. However, what if bird watchers could experience this joy from the perspective of birds themselves? idea behind a new project that aims to provide bird watchers with a sensory experience that simulates the perspective of birds during the bird watching process.

By providing sensory cues such as bird calls, bird songs, and even scents that mimic those found in nature, individuals can immerse themselves in the world of birds and experience nature from a bird’s perspective. This unique sensory experience can provide a sense of freedom and relaxation that is often missing in our daily lives.

An Outline Zoning Plan is a statutory plan prepared by the Town Planning Board under the Town Planning Ordinance. It shows land-use zoning and significant road systems for each planning option area.

According to this floor plan, the site involves two areas.

The “G/IC” and “OU” mean government, institution or community zones, and other specified uses. Because our project is not a private residence, there is no need to apply to the government for land use change.

Birds survey

August 2020 120 species recorded, 63 are migration species, 51 are native, Lamma Island is important for birds in seasonal migration.

Species found on Lamma Island are all species in Hong Kong two-thirds of the amount.

ATTRACT FINCHES QUALITY SPACES

Food: Finches are seed-eating birds, so they need access to a variety of seeds in their habitat. This can include grass seeds, flower seeds, and weed seeds. You can attract finches to your backyard by providing a bird feeder stocked with sunflower seeds, thistle, or nyjer seeds.

Vegetation: Finches prefer habitats with plenty of vegetation, such as trees, shrubs, and grasses. Providing a variety of plants in your yard can create an attractive habitat for finches.

Mardavij Pigeon Tower Shelter: Finches need places to roost and nest. They will use natural shelter such as trees and shrubs, but you can also provide artificial nesting boxes to encourage breeding.

Water: Like all birds, finches need a source of clean, fresh water for drinking and bathing. Providing a bird bath or small fountain can be a great way to attract finches to your yard.

Climate: Different species of finches have different climate requirements, so it’s important to choose species that are suited to your local climate. In general, finches prefer temperate or subtropical climates.

To attract finches, you should provide a variety of seeds, clean water, shelter, vegetation, and consider the climate.

Sustainable development When it comes to bird conservation, the sustainable development of architecture should take into consideration the impact that buildings can have on bird populations. Some ways to design architecture that supports bird conservation include: Using bird-friendly design elements: Incorporating design elements such as bird-safe glass, visible markings on windows to help birds avoid collisions, and nesting boxes can help support local bird populations.

Minimizing light pollution: Bright lights can disorient birds and interfere with their natural behavior. Designing buildings with lighting that minimizes light pollution can help support bird conservation efforts.

Avoiding sensitive habitats: When planning and constructing buildings, it’s important to avoid areas that are home to sensitive bird habitats, such as wetlands or grasslands.

Incorporating green spaces: Designing buildings with green spaces such as gardens, parks, and green roofs can provide important habitat for birds in urban areas.

Using sustainable building materials: Choosing sustainable building materials and construction methods can help reduce the impact of buildings on bird populations and their habitats.

By taking these steps, the sustainable development of architecture can support bird conservation efforts and help protect bird populations.

Let’s take a look at the snippet first This clip is a video of some birds flying Birds are often associated with freedom because of their ability to fly. As humans, we are bound to the ground and limited in our movement. Birds, on the other hand, have the ability to soar through the air, allowing them to explore the world from a different perspective.

Adjusting the texture of the metal frame to blend with the staggered main body can help to create a cohesive and harmonious design that is visually appealing.

Recessing the metal frame can help to highlight the central theme of the building and create a sense of depth and perspective.

Using a metal frame as the main support for the building can provide a strong and durable structure while also allowing for unique design opportunities.

creative vision Staggered ramp and a two-way roundabout pedestrian ramp on the lower floor are a unique design feature that allows for smooth and free-flowing movement throughout the building. By creating an open and dynamic space, users can move around the building effortlessly, similar to the flight of birds.

This design approach can also create a sense of freedom and creativity, which can be especially beneficial in public buildings or spaces.

Feriorro There must be height restrictions over the flight route of the aircraft The buildings in the area are mainly residential buildings, ranging from old tenement buildings over half a century old on Ma Tau Kok 13th Street to single-family mansions in Kadoorie Hill and Kowloon Tong. In addition, Ho Man Tin and Hung Hom Bay are the newly developed high-rise luxury residential areas in the area. Kowloon City, Kowloon Tong, Ma Tau Wai and Ma Tau Kok used to be within the statutory airport obstacle height control area of Kai Tak Airport. Although the buildings in the area were built in the 1980s or 1990s, they were also affected by height restrictions. Buildings rarely exceed 16 storeys, and in urban areas, the average height of buildings in the district is significantly lower than in other urban areas. However, with the closure of Kai Tak Airport in 1998 and the subsequent urban redevelopment, many single-family residences higher than 16 storeys have been built in Hung Hom, To Kwa Wan and Kowloon City.

vertical mixed society (population growth)

Introduction In recent decades market-oriented politics has marginalised the construction of public and social infrastructure, especially housing, and turned the necessity of housing provision (the home, shelter, the right to housing) into a commodity form to be bought, sold, circulated and exploited toward maximum financial gain (exchange-value supersedes use-value). Instead of the collective social function of housing in the city there is a commodification process of housing and a narrative of individual desire and a perpetual cycle of consumption.

Flat old building

Pin-in buildings

The picture shows that the old building used to be the same height as if it was f lat

The building site area is small but the building height is disproportionately high

As the population grows, the more space is needed, so it develops upwards

Pin-in buildings are usually more common in old districts, because in the past, neither the tenement buildings nor the dwellings were so high.

(the building below the runway is only six stories high Buildings constructed in the 1980s or 1990s were also affected by height restrictions, with the tallest buildings rarely exceeding 16 storeys

As one of the old buildings was acquired Therefore, all the area of the old building will be used to build high-rise buildings.

Old buildings will go down the street if they want any entertainment. Above is the living space.

Compared with new buildings, podium will have more uses, such as clubhouse dining.

There are many common areas between the house and the ground People can relax and live in this building one day The new building is far from the ground where people live

Kowloon Walled City was a densely populated and largely ungoverned area in Hong Kong that existed until it was demolished in the early 1990s. The unique qualities of the space of Kowloon Walled City included: 12:00

Ethical relations: Despite the lack of formal governance, the residents of Kowloon Walled City developed a system of self-governance that was based on mutual trust and cooperation. This led to a strong sense of community and social cohesion among the residents.

Human movement

Interconnected rooftops: The buildings in Kowloon Walled City were built so close to each other that their rooftops were often connected. This created a unique spatial experience where people could move between buildings without ever touching the ground. This also facilitated social interactions between residents who might not have otherwise met.

High and low visibility: The densely packed buildings of Kowloon Walled City meant that residents of different floors were often able to see and interact with each other. This created a sense of connection and interdependence between residents on different levels of the buildings.

However, when the Hong Kong government decided to redevelop the area, the old buildings were replaced with highrise buildings, which fundamentally changed the nature of the space. The high-rise buildings reduced the visibility between residents, which led to a decline in ethical relations and social cohesion. Additionally, the loss of interconnected rooftops meant that the unique spatial experience of Kowloon Walled City was lost. human movement

narrative That’s a great idea to encourage artists to come together and document the reconstruction projects in Kowloon City. many artists are based in the area, and their perspectives and creative expressions could provide a unique and valuable contribution to recording the city’s changes.

Artists have a keen eye for detail and can capture the essence of a place through their artwork. By documenting the reconstruction projects, they can bring attention to the changes happening in Kowloon City and provide a historical record of the area’s transformation.

Additionally, art can serve as a medium for communication and discussion. By showcasing their artwork in exhibitions and events, artists can engage with the community and raise awareness about the issues surrounding the reconstruction projects in Hong Kong.

Overall, encouraging artists to participate in documenting the changes in Kowloon City can help preserve the history of the area while promoting creativity and community engagement.

perspective of key interior space Sustainable development It’s true that historically, Kowloon City was a densely populated area with many residents living in challenging economic circumstances. Similarly, many artists in Hong Kong have also faced financial struggles due to the city’s high cost of living and limited support for the arts.

However, the lack of support for the arts in Hong Kong has also led to a sense of resilience and resourcefulness among local artists. Many have found innovative ways to create art despite limited resources and have developed unique styles and techniques that reflect their experiences.

Regarding the reconstruction projects in Kowloon City, it’s admirable that the aim is to create a space that is environmentally conscious and energy-efficient. By utilizing natural ventilation and avoiding luxurious designs, the project can help reduce energy consumption and promote sustainable living practices.

Moreover, the use of interior design to create a mood that reflects the history and character of Kowloon Walled City can be a powerful way to connect people to the area’s past while also promoting artistic expression and creativity.

Overall, the project has the potential to showcase the resourcefulness and creativity of both the Kowloon City community and local artists in Hong Kong. By highlighting the historical and cultural significance of the area, the project can help promote greater understanding and appreciation of Hong Kong’s rich cultural heritage.
