The installation is a combination of low-tech, low power, thru a series of resonating movements creates an unexpected combination movements that is temporal, ethereal, and ephemeral, enabling a immersive meditative environment for the visitor to reflect, and enrich the inner being. Which created a minimalist pattern that is actualized by the presence of visitor, where a focused light source would actualize the intensity of the movements

Urban Development and Renewal have been rapidly transforming cities throughout this decade. The Central-Mid Level Escalator System, which forms part of the urban fabric, is home to diverse street life and culture. However, the ongoing urban development is posing a challenge, such as, the introduction of new structures is destroying the local street activities and culture. Consequently, the bottom-up activities that define the area is at risk of disappearing. This thesis aims to explore strategies for safeguarding and preserving the unique events and activities found along the walkway system in this fast-paced city.

By blending different level and dimensions of the staircase. Users and pedestrian can have a suitable intensity of sport by circulating in the building by their health conditions. And trying to mix the therapy process into this daily routine.

plAnTing proToType uTilizing THe underneATH spACes in urBAn AreA High density and land scarcity is challenging local farming in Hong Kong. However there are lot of neglected opportunities to promote urban farming and community based food production. The project is exploring the possibility of food production underneath bridges by transforming wasted voids, and structure, in to farms.
A light weight modular system is being explored to suite number of different scenarios and crops. These systems will be tested in relation to the given site under the bridge. The frame is a extensions and addition of the bridge as a experiment for producing foods along the bridge showing that farming is possible in such challenging conditions.

Bearing a baby requires immense bravery and love for one’s family. Expectant mothers prioritise the health of their baby above their own. A secure and warm environment can make them feel comfortable and relaxed throughout their pregnancy. The design parameters of the project revolve around the level of privacy and openness required for various program areas.

The Green Link project aims to enhance human-nature connectivity in North New Territories through a multi-scale design approach. At the district level, horizontal mixed-use blocks replace tall towers to maximize greenery coverage. Residential, commercial, and community spaces are seamlessly integrated with farmland, parks, and gardens to provide abundant natural spaces.

A pavilion is a temporary space for the transients in definition. It provides a place for interaction with the surrounding neighbourhoods for daily activities. Adapt and reuse the wood material and construct bookshelves and shading devices with the modular by gird system to re-form the plaza for social interaction and cultural intersection.

The street view is captured, yet softened, with only a blurred glimpse of the interior visible—a deliberate design that define the boundary between the hustle outside and the quiet within.
At the sink, the city fades into faint silhouettes, encouraging a shift from external distractions to inner thoughts. The mirror reflects not just a face, but a deeper presence, inviting awareness of self.

Within these walls, water and reflections merge, presenting a hazy image that echoes the often-hidden layers of emotion. Here, the space invites a private dialogue, where the self is explored, feelings are processed, and calm is reclaimed.
In today’s fast-paced urban life, the search for peace is a journey through fragmented routines. In this pursuit, a rest room space emerges, offering not just relief but a moment of introspection. A place to step away from the world, to reconnect with the inner self, and to find a brief, yet profound, respite in the midst of a busy life.

THe imAginATive pursuiT of THe endless House
The concept of the 'never-ending house' is not about the continuous physical enhancement or renovation of a building, but rather about the unceasing pursuit of turning a house into a personal home, a place of belonging. Throughout history, people have consistently imagined and sought a space that truly feels like their own, where they can cultivate a sense of home. This desire for a home, a place that resonates with one's identity and offers comfort, is a timeless pursuit. Even though the future may be uncertain and ever-changing, the human longing for a sense of home remains constant and never-ending.
