University of Kent. Kent School of Architecture and Planning Master of Architecture. Artefact AR 601 This paper speculates the interior qualities of the Endless House designed by Frederick J. Kiesler. The Endless Instructor: Dr. Timothy Ireland House reveals the central Student: Andy Padraig Kong manifesto of Correalism, which was Kiesler’s approach to continuous human lives by connecting men and the environment. The seminal project, Endless House (1958) was the prototype that the interior spaces or arrangements were never realised. However, Kiesler further developed the design with detail drawings or sections and furniture in the Sisler House (1961). The Sisler House was considered as the most direct establishment of the Endless House which was prepared for the client Mary Sisler. Considerable research has highlighted the exterior form of the Endless House, however, the interior space and qualities of the was surprisingly neglected. Furthermore, since Kiesler had never designed or modelled the interior space of the Endless House until his death, this paper opens a new chapter of this highly unknown subject, the speculation of interior space of the Endless House. Specifically, this study cross references the drawings, publications and exhibits of two of Kiesler’s important projects, Endless House (1958) and the latter Sisler House (1961). The extensive materials by Kiesler provided crucial information in proceeding the methodology in retro-fitting the interior space of the Sisler House into the seminal Endless House. The outcome of the research is a digital 3D model of the interior space, which will visualise the internal design of Kiesler’s Endless House by a virtual reality experience from Oculus Go.

Site The project locates at perimeter wall of Canterbury, Kent. Where, the ancient roman Watling street laid, now deeply buried under the soil out of sight. The project developed with crosshatch of gothic and modern technology. The Watling street told us the story of Canterbury from Roman Durovernum to Modern Canterbury through courses of events which were significant to England as well. The construction of roman road, pilgrimage, Baedeker Blitz, construction of A2 and polluted Canterbury. Research and speculations were involved to understand the history and future of the religious acclaimed city. The current downfall of High Street of Canterbury provided evidence of the 'revival' of the town in promoting better means of travelling and commutation to or across Canterbury for animating the city in the future.

Pilgrims' Gothic A series of interventions generated by the studies of geometeries and forms of ''Gothic''. The aim is to transform a narrow passenge way into a exhibition folly presenting a manualscript: Stories of Pilgrimage to Canterbury.
Canterbury Gothic The proposed options of pavilions inspired from Enric Miralles in his strong yet elegant gestures of forms and curves. The concept is to fit a transitional installation into the ecelectic environment of the Canterbury City wall in front of the Cathedral.

Packaging vs Gothic A contextual study of seasoning happened between storage of households to super markets had infor m the awarness of technologies and mechanics that cope with changing environments.
Context of European Gothic A field trip to Milan and Turin provided the best immersion of European Gothic outside the context of U.K. Hence to be inspired by the vibrant elements of 'Gothic' around us. Lingotto factory gallery by Renzo Piano was selected as one of my precedent to develop my thesis.

Autonomous Vending Centre The technological supremacy of artificial intelligence cars. Although cars are to serve human, they were taking up more and more space than us. So as observed in the city of Canterbury as car parks are consuming more space. The inward-looking configuration was to remind us the inevitable truth of us relaying on technology and how technology 'shaped/transformed' us from space and even lives.

Cinematography The scenes of Oliver! (1968) inspired the spatial formulation as well as narrative. There were a lot of visual clues from the film from workhouse, market, slum, courthouse and crescent apartments. Particularly the slum scene was the major driving environment of the plot. The film shows the different activities happened in the slum. The attic scene-set was intriguing as well. Therefore, the project iterates space from some of the major scenes from the movie as Oliver Twist shares the same narratives as ‘Pilgrim Progress’.

Environmental Impact The project operates as a filter for the Canterbury City. There are two major methods in collecting polluted air from the precailing wind. The passive method attracts wind as a tunneling effect and operable air vent (8) to effectively consume pollution. The arrays of mechincal fans are another active method of sucking dirty air from the roundabout.

Site The project sites in the remoted ‘countryside’ of Swanscombe Peninsular, a far east entry to the botany marsh. Adjacent to metal and cement factories, the project primarily connects the present to the future as a social film hub responsive to the foreseen film-themed London Resort near the marsh. Rem Koolhaas debated the increasing digital connection of such countryside, the archive constructs the analogy and conversation between stakeholders from collectors; private intuitions; corporations and artist to spectators. This project introduces accessibility to such countryside, yet beyond only an attraction. Focusing on such multi-connection to public, coexisting activities and stakeholders could be reintroduced to the real and material world.
Filming approach A camera obscura was taken to site in memberance of the connection of nature and tachnology. The project continued with the narration of natural prevealing wind. Filming was the design theme in this studio.
Conversation on Human Embodiment The project opens the discussion of death and memories. From the device spatulated in the mist of the site, people navigate through the follies and activated the flashbacks of their past. Finally synchronising their memories and uploaded to the centralised authority. The big question is: Are our memories real?

The central component acts as junction of the two wings of academy. The archive exhibit of filming technologies in the hall from scene set-ups; film equipment and gadgets; costume and makeup to original copies of film and footages. The circulation through the institute is directly connected by the archive to and returning from future London Resort to the countryside of Swanscombe. I considered the neighbouring context as virtual land: the imaginary amusement, as the project is driven by the arrival of the future London Resort.

Juxtaposition of filming technologies The project constructs the tension and relationship between film makers and spectators as to raise awareness of the process of film from ‘making-of’ to ‘screening’. Focusing on the technological aspect of film as developing a film institute, the project goes on with the juxtaposition of filming technology. The environmental awarness was brought to attention in designing interventions of essential film spaces. Besides from making and screening productions, storing was one of the challenges. The academy provide a characteristic of a likely data centre in keeping analogue and digital data.

Technology and Embodiment The narrative notion around the project considered current situations of how booming technology challenged embodiment of dependent daily users like us. The increasi ng ease of contact via internet, also presence and online identity. Hence, the embodiment and existence are developed through technology in both physical and social aspects (Price, et al. 2009). This awareness is, however, ironically disputed over the actual cognition of human which architecture concerns. The transformation to posthuman caused by dependency towards such social-feeding culture seems inevitable. Nevertheless, this project narrates to provide arguments towards such cybernetic phenomenology. The way we relate to nature is changed as the infiltration of global connectivity to the technology. The controlling technology which manipulate users in keeping sharing and creating contents on social media shapes the virtual identity of posthuman yet hinder and weaken the actual bodily cognition of human.

Biodiversity Skyscraper The project illustrated an argument against the building regulation in Hong Kong. Governmental guidance had yet to be unaltered for over 20 years, plot ratio and site cover regulated the height and openness of the project but also limited the porosity and proximity of buildings in Hong Kong. A modern skyscraper should be design addressing the biodiversity and communal health of the city. Generative matrix and tectonics were studied in applying simple stacking of cubes. Ultimately, these cubes create clusters of living, farming and educational space while providing optimal porosity against plot ratio and site coverage.

Formation 1. The site is sat adjacent to a high rise tower and a lifted up high way. It is one of the very humid city in Kowloon and the sunlight is very strong in the afternoons. 2. The green house is surrounded by the foodhall and oriented near the south-east direction which can absorb larger amount of sunlight. 3. The food hall and vertical farming is lifted up to cover a farmers market which is open to the public for 24 hours a day with another portion of protected farming on the ground. 4. Both the two blocks are redifined to meet up with the plot ratio. The strategy is also to provide energy and warmth to the community as well as attracting all the target users.

Operation and Production The hub represents the sustainable food cycle as the following section shows. green roof (1845m2) 1 The production of green roof provide wheat, corn, potato and other long-term growing crops. Such production can support the food architecture in blocks A and B. 2 green house (500m2) The green house provide best and controlled conditions for vertical farming within the glass block. Organic vegetables can be provided to introduce healthier life style for the community. 3 vertical farming A(500m2) B(124m2) The vertical farming is owned by the community food hall and private rented restaurant respectively in the two different blocks A and B. Such farming directly support the operation for different season and menu. vertical farming can exceed the conventional flat-land farm production in stacking effect 4 protected indoor green house (160m2) The green house is open mainly for activity or charity use. It is designed for planting very vulnerable vegetables like tomatoes, strawberries and lettuces. The production is relatively small. Such function can introduce basic planting knowledge to general public. The produced food from the following programing will be delivered to different place. 5 rental restaurants (120 people) 7 food hall (160 people) 8 storage farmers' market 6
