Reincarnation of Deserted Spaces
2. Programmatic Distribution a. Highly Centralized (Government’s “Housing” Proposal)
Different programs are clearly allocated to specific building or podium mall. Spatial interaction with the site is little.
Education: Government/ International School Retail: Shopping Mall Communal: Government Complex
b. Dispersed over Site (Thesis “Queen’s Hill Community” Proposal) Communal programs are allocated into the existing structures over the site with appropriate new interventions for daily purposes. Specific old buildings are transformed to celebrate its ruin aesthetics with meditative purposes.
Education: School of Indigenous Learning Retail: Bazzar/ “Hui” Market Communal: Canteen/ Meeting Hall/ Library Public Open Space Meditative: Spa/ Yoga Artists’ Residence/ Hostels
Partial Design for enhancing local identity (Preliminary Draft)

b. School of Indigenous Learning Unlike formal schools, this school provides education on local history and natural knowledge to enhance the local identity gradually.
Minimal benches and table are set under the tree for outdoor classroom.
