A FICTIONAL FUTURE HISTORY OF<br />
HONG KONG<br />
SPRING 2018 | 2-person group project<br />
Tutor: Sony Devabhaktuni<br />
This project imagines a fictional<br />
government’s plan of building a new city<br />
rid of colonial influences in Northwestern<br />
New Territories. It represents the<br />
government’s ambition and optimism<br />
in a future which the new Hong Kong<br />
(Xinxianggang) is no longer a city state<br />
but instead becomes half of the twin city<br />
that is the Hong Kong (Xinxianggang)<br />
and Shenzhen agglomeration. The unique<br />
economic and legal framework of the new<br />
city allows for the symbiotic cooperation<br />
with Shenzhen in the advancement of<br />
economic development without the<br />
constant struggle for self determination<br />
demanded by the citizens of old Hong<br />
Kong. Xinxianggang becomes the<br />
Chinese ideal of the SAR system, one that<br />
emphasizes on One Country instead of<br />
Two Systems.<br />

HYBRID PEDESTRIAN NETWORK<br />
CENTRAL NEW HARBOURFRONT<br />
HONG KONG<br />
FALL 2017 | 2-person group project<br />
Tutor: Holger Kehne<br />
The hyper-density of Central created one<br />
of the most congested pedestrian network<br />
above ground. The intervention was a<br />
series of intersecting multi-programmed<br />
bridges, in hope of regenerating street life<br />
on the footbridge which otherwise only<br />
provides defined circulatory route with<br />
minimal street activities, interactions and<br />
sense of place.

AN ARCHITECTURAL REACTION TO<br />

SHAM SHUI PO<br />
HONG KONG<br />
SPRING 2017 | 2-person group project<br />
Tutor: Ulrich Kirchhoff<br />
The project began with environmental<br />
concerns on air pollution. By visualising air<br />
pollution with distribution of dust, reaction<br />
was brought in different scales, combined<br />
with formal strategies and programmatic<br />
requirements.<br />
Dust samples were collected with tapes on<br />
road signs at different points in the area<br />
around Sham Shui Po.<br />
Porosity and layering were the two<br />
strategies applied on different scales, in<br />
both its form and facade.

KEYBOARD AND THE<br />

By observing the motion of piano action,<br />
the artefact was transformed into drawing.<br />
The drawing was then translated into<br />
a spatial sequence in 3-dimensional space.<br />
The space was finally translated back to a<br />
drawing, concluding the cycle of drawing<br />
and modelling which informed and inspired<br />
each other.<br />

Study models 06+07<br />
The hammering action was recorded<br />
as a series of stop motion layers. The<br />
concept behind these two models<br />
was similar – capturing the motion<br />
as segments joined together.<br />
DRAWING TO MODEL<br />
Study model 08<br />
This model was a trial of simple<br />
parametric expression, representing<br />
the final ‘resonance’ in an actualised<br />
manner.<br />
The space continuously varied itself<br />
between wide and narrow, which<br />
was an element taken from the<br />
drawing board.<br />
DRAWING TO MODEL<br />
DRAWING TO MODEL<br />
DRAWING TO MODEL<br />
The cross-sections of the models<br />
decreased in size when the space proceeded<br />
forward. The more condensed and<br />
angular space represented the increasing<br />
concentration of mechanical energy of<br />
the hammer.
The Lever<br />
Threshold<br />
The openings are made according to<br />
the construction lines and triangles<br />
on the drawing. The representation<br />
of energy is expressed with light and<br />
shadow, and the spatial qualities<br />
which the user may experience. This<br />
also connects the compartments as a<br />
whole with the directions of light<br />
and the angulated circulation.<br />
A single tiny light creates a space wh<br />
darkness cannot exist. The lig<br />
vanquishes the darkness. Try as<br />
might, the darkness cannot conqu<br />
the lig<br />
Donald L. Hicks, Look Into the St<br />
ness, 20<br />
THE MODEL<br />
THE MODEL<br />
Light is directed regularly into the<br />
space, creating a tunnel-like (but<br />
perpendicular with the circulation,<br />
unlike tunnels in normal sense)<br />
space and lighting experience.<br />
A compartmentalized building had to<br />
be organized by the movement<br />
through it, because movement was the<br />
one remaining thing that could give it<br />
any coherence.<br />
Robin Evans, Figures, Doors and<br />
Passages, 1978<br />
THE MODEL
The Transition<br />
This piece connects the keyboard<br />
and the lever. It transforms from the<br />
orthogonal motif to the triangular<br />
language, with certain relationship<br />
with the ‘rhythm’ of the keyboard as<br />
in the first piece of model.<br />
THE MODEL<br />
In all chaos there is a cosmos, in all<br />
disorder a secret order.<br />
