Anomaly / Innovation
Innovation has been our way to unlock new value and accommodate it. It might not be that necessary for a pressing purpose, but we have been all benefited as we explored its capabilities. Witnessing the anomalies in our cities nowadays, like the forgotten histories, deviated value of living, social controversies raised by the artificial intelligence, we even have greater purpose that demands innovation, to create a more sustainable, vibrant city and community, under the severe social, economic and environmental pressures.
To transform city absurdities into a sustaining system, in my point of view, an architecture and infrastructure for the future should provide people with the boundary between capability and potential need. In this portfolio, adaptable framework, which serves as the boundary, was designed base on the patterns in contextual behaviours of the stakeholders. Whilst there are things that cannot be adapted, such as the core values and their inherent relationships, the ‘innovation boundary’ provokes people to reflect on their identities and explore any other possibilities. And I believe that will be the way how architecture evolves as the city does.
