PORTFOLIO 2008-2011 SELF REFLECTION OF 3-YEAR-LIFE

Working on a portfolio is similar to look back life in the previous 3 year life of architectural study. A porfolio represents a re-organization of works and self-criticism. Different projects worked in different time but contain similarities. The similarities and connections between projects form an individual language in architectural study.

ARCHITECTURAL STUDY = STUDYING OF LIFE WHY DO I LOVE ARCHITECTURE “Why do I love architecture” is the question I have asked most since I studied architecture.

It may be my interest, my habit, but I think the major reason is that I treat studying architecture as the study of life. In school, I discovered one interesting phenomena. Every student’s projects expressed different unique individuality and characteristic of the students.

Every decision made on the design of the project reflects the personality and characteristics o the designer. Therefore, I think a designer should always keep his mental and spiritual consciousness when they are working on their design. Hence, I think that there must be a strong relationship between architecture design and the thinking of life. The relationship is not only about the circulation, function, usage and experience of the users of the building, but also the role, stand, intention of the architecture and the architect. The thinking of architecture and that of life grow simultaneously with the critical mind. The reflection and evaluation of each project or decision gave me chance to understand architecture and myself.

Given that the site of research is Zhabei District , where the Shanghai Train Station located. However, the Shanghai Train Station is the gate of migrant workers and they arrive from different province around China. Further analysis was done to investigate the community and the relationship of the migrant worker community and the increasing land price pressure.

MANIFESTO LIGHT AS SPACE, SPACE AS LIGHT

Space can be defined by volume. In fact, during the disjunction space and volume, there will be a new definition of space. In most of the contemporary architectural design the consideration of space is dominant while the consideration of light is recessive. In fact, light should not be separated with space and the definition of space should be the fusion of volume and light or even only light in some extreme case. However, space cannot be experience when volume is without light. Only a glance can intersperse space in a dark volume. Moreover, when there is light, there is shadow.

When light is a solid, shadow is void; when light is void, shadow is a solid.

When light is shone on a solid, shadow is created. In fact, both light and shadow do not occupy any volume, but actually they create volume.

What is light? What is shadow? They are spaces.

The boundary between light and shadow is blurred when one see though a slit from a dark indoor space. One is occupied by light under the shadow and vice versa. The visual complexity and atmosphere created control the movement and program of human. Therefore, space can be created by light and shadow.

Under the surrounding pressure, migrant workers have been squeezed under the shadow in the city. By spacializing light under shadows, it softens the boundary between light and shadow and makes them coherent with each other.

The Union Square is at the intersaction of 7 streets, and also there is a subway station underneath. The 2 exits of the subway station is located at the south of Union Square while the farmer market is located at the north-west corner of Union Square. The farmer market and the entrances of the subways station is seperated by the park in the middle, the park acts as an isolation which filtrate the people destinated to other places instead of the farmer market.

DEVELOPMENT OF DESIGN

The programs of museum is re-defined. The museum is seen as the experience of the food journey, from transporting food to farmer market, indoor marekt, and finally the restaurants. Therefore, a program strip follows the food of the journey and then the museum will be a route passing through these programs and witness the process of food.

Therefore, all the programs are organized into a strip of programs. By weaving the strip of programs, different conditions of program mixing are made.

The program organization of mid term design is based on the study of the folding of strip of program. The programs are organized from public to private (from markets to culinary school), and the museum space is minimized. Actually it is along the strip of other programs and the visitors will witness the process of making of food.

INTERDULE

- NEW CONCEPTS AND EXPERIENCE

After the mid term review of the culinary arts center project, an interlude is held in order to explore additional concepts or inspiration in developing the project. The interlude is an interactive one weel project, including preparing a meal, restaurant analysis and re-designing a dining device.

PORTFOLIO 2008-2011 LEUNG PAK LUN

In order to understand the relationship between architectural space and cooking process, a meal is organized by the studio. In the whole process, from buying the food and ingredients at the local farm to serving the food on the table, there is a deeper understanding of the production of food.

RESTAURANT EXPERIENCE ANALYSIS - CHAO CHAU RESTAURANT

The typical Chao Chau restaurant is an exmaple of restaurant which has a special eating experience. The restaurant has two kitchens, a cold at the front and a hot at the back. Once the customer pass by the restaurant and realize the cold food at the cold kitchen, the eating experience starts. After that, the customers enter the restaurant and can smell the food which is cooked in the hot kichen. However, the menu is written on the wall, but the customer make their dicision according to their judgement towards the smell. This is the experience of the Chao Chau restaurant.

Thus the water jar stores the WATER smell of the food.

The customer can see the food DILECIOUS FOOD which is placed inside the glass flask while he can also smell the food through the vessel. He no longer order the food by reading a written FILTER menu which indicate all the ingredients, but now he can experience the food since he orders the food.

RESTAURANTS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD

The restaurants near Union Square are not just the demand of fresh food, they are also creating a smell-scape of food in the neighborhood. The bakeries produce the smell of pastry and butter, other restaurants also produce different smell in around the Union Square. Therefore, the whole food experience starts at the point where you enter the neighborhood.

SMELL EXPERIENCE IN UNION SQUARE

The following section shows the smell-scape of Union Square. The imaginary culinary arts center acts like a smell machine, it contains different kinds of smells and the culinary school on the upper level produces new smell. The imaginary culinary arts center produces smell which create a harmony with the surroundings such as the farmer market, the park.

POPULATION & VEHICLE FLOWS The 2 diagrams on the top shows the population and vehicle flows around the site.

ADVERTISEMENT AROUND THE SITE In order to capture huge amount of attention from the people who walk by the site or on the vehicles which pass by the site. There are different scales of advertisements near the site, since the site is a busy node.

CHANGE OF FLOW IN A DAY The busy day and night flow of vehicles and population enhances the capturing of people â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;s attention.

At the same time, most of the publica transport, e.g. buses, trams, are acting like mobile advertisement boards which travel around the site.

CONNECTION STRATEGY OF THE PROPOSED MUSEUM In terms of urban scale, the proposed museum will be a hub which connects different institutes and offices in the neighbourhood.

On the other hand, the museum also make a connection with HKAPA and HKECC to create a continuous exhibition journey.

MATERIALIZATION OF DESIGN CONCEPT - PUBLICATION MUSEUM Publication is making something publicly known, e.g. advertisement. The museum takes the advantages of the site acting as a passage for huge amount of people, becoming a media of publication/advertisement. Moreover, the museum is an artwork which turns commercial and governmental advertisement into arts, by bringing ambiguity to the 2 dimensional publication.

DESIGN DEVELOPMENT OF A COMPREHENSIVE ARCHITECTURAL PROPOSAL - PUBLICATION MUSEUM

Publication is making something publicly known, e.g. advertisement. Ambiguity is bring multi- meaning to something. By bringing ambiguity to the surface of the building, it turns commercial and governmental advertisements into arts. At the same time, the reflective surface reflects the city and people activities and creates a city collage. Therefore, a publication museum becomes a museum for not just publication, but also for the public.

AMBIGUITY What derived from MC Escherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s concave and convex is ambiguity.

The collage on the right hand side shows the ambiguity in the exhibit (at the same time the building surface) and also the ambiguity in indoor and outdoor space.

DESIGN DEVELOPMENT OF A COMPREHENSIVE ARCHITECTURAL PROPOSAL - FINAL STAGE

- PUBLICATION MUSEUM

Publication is making something publicly known.

In Hong Kong society, city life is flooded with a lot of information, e.g. commercial advertisement, government advertisement, free newspapers, junk email etc.They all implied a sense of seduction and carry information, but not interpretation.When peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life is flooded with all these image seduction, on one hand, people become immune to that, and on the other hand, the society do not have a place for publicize individual publication.

Therefore, a museum as a media of publication, can turn those commercial and governmental publication into artworks and bring back the aesthetic view by adding ambiguity to the exhibit (publication).

At the same time, there is also an ambiguity in the exhibit. The reflective surface of museum creates a city collage of peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s activities. It brings multi- meanings to both the visitors and the museum. Hence the museum becomes a media of publication.

UNFOLDED SECTION The long section shows different activities in the museum, from day to night. In the day time people can see through the museum surface from inside. Therefore, the museum frame different views respect to the exhibit. Moreover, the internal courtyard and the mediatheque express the ambiguity of indoor and outdoor space. The concave building surface also provides special effect to the projection.

STUDY OF REFLECTIVE SURFACE -CONCAVE AND CONVEX The painting on the left hand side shows the ambiguous space by MC Escher. By using reflective material on the building surface it creates the ambiguous space suggested by MC Escher and therefore, the image of the exhibit is reflected on the building surface. In fact the building surface becomes another exhibit in the museum.

What makes architecture? Steel? Concrete? Glass? or Human?

When i look back my works in these three years, i found that they are like different paths by different cars on the roads. They pointed to the same direction and weave together. They are long and exntend to the infinite future. The more the paths on the road, the wider view i have on architecture unless i repeat my works. The most beautiful picture of the road in the future should be a non-uniform weaving pattern formed by different knowledge of LIFE. 12.26.2011 02:24
