Site Location
Kwai Chung was rarely developed before the 1960s. New town project of Tsuen Wan was gradually developed and the residential complexes expanded to the Kwai Chung area. In 1970s, the government also built the Kwai Chung Container Terminal in the early. Kwai Chung, which was
Sun & Wind Analysis
-MOST OF THE DIRECT SUN LIGHT ARE BLOCK BY THE THE SURROUNDED RESIDENTIAL TOWER (ON THE EAST TO SOUTH WEST)
-SUFFICIENT DAY HOUR(AVERAGE 12.5 HOURS)
-THE ANNUAL AVERAGE TEMPERATURE ARE FROM 15°C TO 31°C
-DIRECT SUNLIGHT FROM TOP AT THE PERIOD FROM 11:00 TO 14:00

Building Use
Site is surrounded by residential building and school.It is crutial to provide decent Public space for the locals as the existing public space is far from enough.Commerical activities are scattered.The site have great potential to be a commercial focal pint
Building Height
As the site closed to tall residential towers,setback from the site boundary is neccessary to make the street less oppressed.The building should is more pleasant to be as less level as possible to avoid blocking sunlight and sky view.
Accessiblility
The existing entrance are on southwest side and northeast side.People cannot access to entrance on the southeast side as there is a 1.5 meter level different.Entrance on the southeast side more welcoming.

Public Market in Hong Kong
Public Market is the one of the foundamental space to form society.People establsih relationship and trust throught daily communication and trading.In old days,Public market was set up along the street which connect closely to different Public space and event.The sense of community was erect due to the combination of various programs. Nowadays,most of the public market was set up isolatedly in an enclosure and controlled indoor space.Function and program of public market become monotonous
Development of market in Hong Kong
Street Markets originally sprouted up wherever it was convenient for farmers to sell their harvest, or for fishermen to land their catch in the earliest time. Sometimes these markets were sited at an equal distance between villages, making them a convenient meeting place for everyone. They were only sometimes permanent but would take place on certain days of the week, to a regular schedule
Community Needs
Before 1842
1842-1970
Public Markets allow the government to prevent disturbances on the traffic and in public places while regulating food safety and prices. In 1841, the British occupied Hong Kong and began building roads there. They soon realized that street vendors were causing great inconvenience to traffic. Therefore, in 1842, the government built the Central Market, relocating the vendors Municipal Service Building accommodate multi-levels market In the 1970s, the government arranged some non-market facilities, such as cooked food centers and children’s playgrounds, on the upper floors of the markets. Starting in the 1980s, the government decided to merge public markets and other municipal facilities into multi-purpose, multi-story municipal buildings

CONCEPT
SPIRAL HUBS is to reactivate the social vibrancy of public market through continously stepping up diverse programs. Commercial programs are extensively with recreational programs throughout the complex to spark social participation and exchange. Pleasurable sitting-out space with greenery also scatters around. People are encouraged to sit and relax. A future market to promote social engagement and interaction was developed.
MASSING DEVELOPMENT
A focal point of different programs to enhance the connectivity between people and to build up the sense of community.
Intersecting programs to engage in community events since they are fulfilling their essential needs
1.MASSING

ROOF FARMING
Traditional farming arranged on the open roof top and utilize the sunlightt to large extend.Also,It is open to the public.Public farming event can be held.There is certain educational value to perserve traditional farming in the market
AQUAPONIC
Aquaponics consists of two main parts, with the aquaculture part for raising aquatic animals and the hydroponics part for growing plants. Aquatic effluents provide nutrients to the plants.The fresh product can directly provide to the Hot Pot Restaurant of the market

SHARE
The vertical Farm system is a less productive system. People can rent one of the farming posts. Plant the vegetable they want. people love vegetables to come together and this can create a new event for people to exchange. Healthy lifestyles can be promoted at the same time.
HORIZONTAL
Horizontal urban farming is the most productive urban farming system.The environment condition should be under controlled and supervised. It is not suitable for the public to access. The combination of green and led light can be a seductive feature wall and attract people to take photo.That can help promote urban farming

KINDERGARTEN EDUCATION
No doubt that early childhood education place in a paramount position of one all-round development.Under the asian competitive atmosphere,Parents always want their kid to be adcadamicly success.Demand their kid to memorize poetry do mathemathic and learn difficult words.On the other hand western parent think kid should be carefree and bare no pressure in this early stage.Educator think blurring the edge of play and learn is the best way.I think playing and learning are both important role to kid’s development.
Kids should learn to behave and absorb knowledge in kindergarten.
Kids should play free,meet frd in kindergarten to have a happy childhood
we advocate the idea of play to learn.Kids can learn through interesting program
Play and Learn both are critical to kids all-rounded development.

SITE CONTEXT-CONSTRAINT
Tight site - That is a common factor for architecture in Hong Kong. It is a 763 sq meter site which is relatively small for a school . Knowing that a standard size of a basketball court is.How to providing sufficient open space meanwhile accommodating all the functions would be a factor in this project
Isolated island-surrounded by vehicle roads the existing site is a gas station. Air pollutants and noise pollutants should be critical concerns as kindergarten provides a long-time service.
Surrounded by a residential tower - Our site is located in a highrise and dense area. Privacy would be a concern. Those buildings block wind and Sunlight to a certain extend.Privacy als may be a concern

Both play and learn are paramount to one all round development.Kid shall learn behaving,being independent , perceving things and think logically through educating.On the other, kid should be carefree, building up connectivity,exert their creativity and energy through playing.Both play and learn should be emphasize in kindergarten education.
Thus,my design is to accommdate,facilitate and inspire both kids’ learning and playing through contrast spacial experience and building context.

CONCEPT
Recently,HKRMRBG Association announed that second-hand cardboard colletion are going to be terminated.Conseqeuncely,huge amount of cardboardare stacking on different regions. Knowing that great deal of those cardboard are wasted,we came up an idea of converting those junk to our constructing materials.
PROCEDURE
By exploaring different stacking pattern,we discovered that the high friction between the cardboard brick make the transparent brick structure and dynamic shape possible without any adherence.The shelter provide a pleasant meditation space for individual due to the great sound absoption of recycled cardboard brick.
