FORT LANE PUBLIC SPACE REJUVENATION

Location: 16-20 Fort Lane, Auckland CBD

Year:2021

Fort Lane originally the sea and Moa forest, existed thousand years ago. By creating a series of water chambers and drawing imaginary water scenes from films, added historical imagery of the original interictal seascape and forest, this project mainly provides a strong sense of immersion for community workers on Fort lane.

The cinematic transitional movement from cities and forests opens up to lake-pool stories. Then it shifts from slow scenes into rush scenes. Whether the sudden cut cars on-site or fewer people framed in movement, all impacted the audience’s cognitive behaviour and made them feel the overwhelming shortcut and pollution.

This design created a welcome space where movies are resting, meditation, and a water performance stage, giving a sense of relaxation so that audience can encounter rejuvenation of space with warm Pocket Forest and seascape. Auckland has a significant number of parks, but mostly, they are on the side slope of hills, making them unable to be regarded as a relaxing place for community workers. Their meditation consistently encouraged them to reflect on their slow actions and feel the charm of an imaginary double play. Thus, through cinematic language and narrative, the audience could feel the awakening of history.

ST JAMES THEATRE INTERIOR DESIGN

Location: 44 Lorne Street, Auckland CBD

Year:2020

My design is a cognitive awakening reuse space aiming to provide interior activities for the blind and others who feel stressed about their lives during covid-19. This space provides the easy-to-use infrastructure to help them perform everyday activities in their daily lives. Continuous pinkish hue colour light at a certain distance benefits their eyesight and allows space users to count the number of lights passing through.

At the same time, when the light changes from bright to pink, people will distinguish between the sitting area and the darkroom. The artist model used in the design is how is the light in our living environment convenient for us? The connotation and meaning of light expressed in different architectural spaces are different. For example, in space design, while setting up uneven roads to let ordinary people feel the world of the blind, light is used to provide a medium for ordinary people. The specific process is that when they turn to the right, the materials and lights on the walls guide them to continue moving forward, and the light slows people down at a certain distance. This process allows ordinary people to feel the space more deeply and understand the way of life of the blind. The core of this is to express the same function through different expressions.

In addition, this mode of experiencing space from a cognitive level is a manifestation of phenomenology, which is more profound than understanding space from the senses, such as touch. The next assignment explores the function and deeper meaning of the specific component with different expressions in my design space.

Resting Area

It is a walkway place that could attract people to come to the darkroom, smelling the plants and flowers with touchable grass on the wall when they walk from the entrance. Regarding my site analysis, there’s much noisier such as traffic etc.at NW, and there are many populations, so i waned to block off the other entrance nearby queen street. It will be around 7-10 people in my site and walk into an area that has handrails around them. It is mainly also focusing on tactile with different shapes and materials that they can feel from exterior to interior cold, mid warm and warm. An experience place that understands inner heart low vision of people to smell touch smell and taste communicates with architecture space and people.

i Inspire Dave Flavin a light installations artist inspired me about the idea of his concept, he uses lights to show an interactive space and people he mentioned” A light transform to our spaces connect with architecture a guided walk through our spaces” He used light as guidance repetition light to guide people and use black floor tiles interact with space and people. It relates to the threshold i’ve used a mixture of natural skylight and using artist as a guideway light that people to count to feel the temperature when it’s touch to the wall surface from warm to cold a direct way that people come to my foyer space. My artist represents black floor tiles as interaction space and buildings but I want give more deep impression when they walk through from a tactile paving a flow from a public space to private space. At the starting point entrance they will able to hear the light of sound coming from entrance a focus and a quiet interior space from the buildings. The handle using braille able to let people to read using artist pattern to form a shape use their hand to touch as a guideway.

THE SENSORY WINTERGARDEN PUBLIC SPACE

Location: Wintergarden Road, Parnell, Auckland Domain

Year:2021

Wintergarden particularly interested me in how the foliage and Acalypha Hispida structure create flows with hot air temperature and colour change movement patterns. I am fascinated by the color and texture of these plants. My parents always taught me how to plant in my childhood.

After analyzing the site, I find that there are fewer interactions between insect species and children. Moreover most fluffy(-soft)plants hanging up too high, my design intention would be children’s interaction with wild animals and plants will make a significant contribution to improve their cognitive, sensory development and motor skills. Thus, it is crucial to add more functional areas to the site.

Besides, the exotic flora ‘discovered’ during European colonial expansion. Nowadays. They ‘build an empire’ of beautifully diverse, exotic plants and trees with reflected changes flora in 1920s the botanic growing with NZ plants such as palm trees and lotus plants to balance their ecology. But our plants’ context have been taken out. It occurs in city right now. Therefore, I’d like to suggest that everyone share the origin plants of space. Also indicating method from my mom’s teaching —for example, how they function teaching children using planting skills collection drawing and combinations flowers of colour theory). It will be a good start for children to get more skills and share their experiences building up their childhood memories.

For example, Joseph Paxton crystal palace exhibitions also served exhibtions purposes and increasingly encouraged mass attendance. The palace and the grounds became the world’s first theme park offering exhibitions.

The Victorian design has inspired me to reuse the Wintergarden as an exhibtionbs to provide visitors with environmental stewardship. Through designing a new garden exhibtions space, its function is to create the memory of contact with nature and understand the reproduction, sensory play, touch and smell of plants. The study of the food web gardens of wildlife is attractive to young visitors.

A BATH HOUSE FOR THE DADLEY BUILDING

Location: 9 Mount Street,Auckland CBD

Year:2019

My design principle it’s more about Kaikitanga and Mannakitanga . Kaikitanga it’s an important relationship between people and environment space in Pocket Forest. They should be equal not to lost their balance and human wildlife users. My main design is one entrance it must be walk through the Pocket forest and a sitting area.

The Long side of Raupo it gives conservation between human and features it let them to breathe in and out. Also it increases the harmonious balance of the relationship between humans, insects, birds, and trees. The biofall sounds give people a sense of relaxation and enjoyment while having a foot spa. The view of Pocket Forest when they sit next to the pond to have a hot pool creates a connection of relation.

Mannakitanga provides a space for a refreshment area to have a cup of water at the entrance before going to the changing room and pool area if they feel thirsty.

The sun and human movement are the main aspects. I did the research for the dadley building I found sun and movement are essential to acknowledge shadows from both summer and winter, which I can know where is the strongest and weaknesses. Because it will affect the user in the location, I encourage movement paths to combine to know where users are coming from so I can create the most confident entrance for them to use.

The Japanese Tanaka inspires the sitting area at the sitting area of a window frame focusing Pocket Forest with reflections shadow. My Program diagram shows main entrance, 2 shower rooms, 2 changing room and 2 bathroom users for 5-6 people.

時間回憶

To begin with, my main topic is about FORSAKEN & REDEMPTION, which portrays human beings within the interactive relationship between people and the FORSAKEN and REDEMPTION of buildings. The FORSAKEN part is about lots of buildings turned into the reclamation to serve humans, because the land and space on earth is limited. For example, in order to occupy the place to live, buildings get broken down, and they are turned into houses and apartments. It is not only the surface of buildings but also the interior of architecture could be forgotten too. The other word “REDEMPTION” could be understood as an original place where the criminal and corruption police stay at the building before. However, the building is now redeemed, becoming more famous for its own artistic value for people to visit. For example, the renewal of Tai Kwun building’s materials and exterior walls. it is not a transformation because facilities are remaining in the same places. Unlike “FORSAKEN,” could be defined as the architecture of transformation, rebuild, abandoned, destroy etc. In short, FORSAKEN is to represent the forgotten architectural history of the original places and how they transform into new forms of existences.

This project is not merely my own creation, because it is also inspired by many existing artists—Martin Foddanu, Balint Alvovits, Liliana Keith, Douce, Graham Holland, Fan Ho, and Richard Quindry.

I wish to become a famous architect, I want to share my identity of story with everyone, and which culture where I’m come from. I developed four photographers for final idea including Keith Macgregor, David Gutierez, Jim Harmer and Simon Yam. It relates my theme of “Identity and Fate”. I am interested in inheriting my dad work because my family love me so much they got a higher expectation for me to be an architect. Because my dad’s occupation is an architecture, I could do better than my father in future. But I’m scared to let them feel disappoint so this is a chance for me to explore and take more design idea of different buildings.

The building outside of the light reflection it gives me energy strength to study independently to explore my skills of architecture. The light reflection, it’s another perspective of my home in Auckland. Because Simon Yams using a theme idea “the streets it gives vitality” it interested me about reflections of water and light density it gave a motivation to complete my dreams to be a successful spatial designer.

The buildings of Chinese signs represents my “ Orgins & Culture”. I used to come here at Haymarket and I like to eat traditional food. This place makes me miss Hong Kong crowded place and people. It tells my identity in Hong Kong.

I’ve slowly learned more experience of architecture. When it relates to Guitierrez photographer he says “this staircase like a tunnel it let people slow down to catch up the speed of learning just like the staircase representing a “Paths to Future”

At last, I also wish my family support me to stay here. Her home it’s like a “Shelter Protection”. While when I was young overseas study at Sydney, I lived here at Central Park with my aunt. But I realized that I couldn’t rely on my aunt to take care of me. Simon Yam photograph the buildings sky and light it’s like everyone’s dream and the sky it motivates me to be an architect, I want to grow up to be a successful architecture to face more competitor in Hong Kong.
