Introduction STANLEY
In Hong Kong, people can have the experience of simplicity and complexity; two types of realitiies has already existed far from ancestor of human being and eventually it is defined among tangible and intangible. Shadow as a media to integrate light and dark; it creates the most elementary kind of spatial vector as well as principals to engrave the spatial story. From vector to motion, it is an alternative of mass transportation for maintaining the operation of spatial practice.
NORTH OF HONG KONG ISLAND
When we walk through Causway Bay to get on the mini bus, we see a lot of concrete buildings surrounding us, it's congnested, and forced the people to scared. After we arrived stanley, the first imagery is a lot of vegatations, and it is very impressive to me. Therefore, it is inspired me to think about '' why I am so comfortable with this environment.'' Then, I find that there is very unique instinct about human, call echo. What is echo? It's our innate instinct to connect emotionally with nature, particularly the aspects of nature that recall what evolutionary psychologists have termed the environment of evolutionary adaptiveness, the natural conditions that human species evolved to inhabit. By Biophilia hypothesis of biologist E.O. Wilson
From the origin of human beings, we have ever lived in natural environment. Nothing is important except the nature; Its significance has reflected in human emotion through the contrast between modern city and connections of nature. Stanleys natural environment has recalled our connection with nature which is evoke people awareness of ecopsychology; encourage the communication between psyche and ecology by innate echoes. Thus, it generates organic conditions to transform this sense to spatial motion in respond to natural echo and evolved human spatial adaptiveness. Stanleys musuem has to amplify the environmental significance through spiritual approach; this clue will inspire to study the conversion between motion, human and natural elements through a series of study models, which embody the basic spatialize principles; it helps to further spatial experiment and identify similar spatial principles of hilly geography between stanleys main and narrow street. Simutaneously, this exploration raise the awareness of stanleys native culture. Include different religious building, correctional services, entertainment services, etc. These culture represent stanleys diversity and it is going to become distinctive museum area which is composed by unique artifacts as well as an opportunities for visitor go to learn stanleys history. In order to preserve these diversity, the mesuem is proposed to design as a two-storey building, which is capable of providing new and old mesuem area. This composition will create dynamic circulations and diverse visual effect through designated path, which is structurally connected with lattice structural system. Clay tile is mainly designed to assemble on exterior and interior building facade; Its raw materiality has connected with stanley natural environment. Museums design need to cooperate different reflections from various aspect, for example, site context, cultural study, spatial study, etc. Therefore, its impacts are spectacular as it condenses every fragment of mankinds and a platform to evoke our communication between history and future.

STUDY MODEL AND EXPERIMENT 1
Cardboard and clay models are trying to perform the experiment of spatial transformation In order to see models shadow evolving on backdrop and plan view, this experimentation is made up by projecting light toward the clay model It has found that shadow has constantly delimitated its area.
P.7
STUDY MODEL AND EXPERIMENT 2
Cardboard model to perform triangulate lattice structural system with serveral slabs to accommodate different functional requirements of mesuem. Shadow is the integration of light and darkness, which is transformed to this experiment as well as find out what's the effect and relationship between the shadow and human. By experiencing of this relationship, a digital portrait has took for experiment. Dark and light is represent two side of humanity. From the portrait, it is literally decorate our appearance or other objects. In fact, it has the ability to penetrate into our psyche, which is evoked our innate instinct. Spatial motion is expriementing by contextual study; This scale and geometric pattern are intergrated by shadow which have the ability to reform community atmosphere.

STUDY MODEL AND EXPERIMENT 3
As show in the image, similiar shadow has produced. The vegatations cladding are designed to respond stanley natural landscape. The water-color sketch of bottom right is illustrated the design concept.

HISTORICAL DEVELOPMENT OF STANLEY 1842s
First Opium War
1941s
Battle of Hong Kong
British Barracks Village
Janpanese line of advance
Tai Tam Bay
British's garrison is dispatched to stanley for Hong Kong Island has ceded to British after 1st Opium war
Stanley Bay
Invasion from Imperial Janpan. The British, Canadians, Indians and the Hong Kong volunteer defence forces are unitized to resist the Japanese invasion Former stanley is a fishing village, where still living in ordinary culture and traditional life style.
British front line
Today, Stanley has became an international tourist spot since there are diverse culture, such as historical heritage and fascinate coastline.

1950
1960
Large squatter camps developed throughout stanley that is providing homes for continously growing immigrants
Stanley's layout has became more dense. A lot more people start to construct building along with coastline
The Public estate development is a new habitations idea to accommodate raising population by maximize the possibility of land use
1995
Estate development seems to be paused.
1970
Compare to 1960s, this is illustration of building develop condition. Another phrase of public development is start. The population is increased
2000
1980
1990
There are new developments in stanley, include the luxury development neaby Maryknoll accomadtion and main beach
There are merely a few new building in th period.
2010s layout plan almost remain the same as 2005s
Since 2005s, Stanley seems to remain their building density

SAMPLING
Tensile fabric structure
Zinc plate roof
The definations of old and new stanley are impiled through two different type of materials. Zinc plate have already became redundant material but its contribution of earily building design is definate because it is low cost and high strengthen, Which is provide certain flexibility to resident of early Hong Kong.

This model is inspired by the image of top left, which is took from site A. The image has impiled the meaning of contradictions and evoke my compassion to find out who destory this tree; it means to figure out the answer of '' why there are rocks inside broken tree trunk'' Then, this event became the clue of how to reconfigurate three samples. The physical model and digital technology have combined to create this dramatic collage. Utimately, it raises the message of environmental protections.

Different plant's species have rooted in stanley for a long time, which activated constantly renewal of cityscape. Plant's transmutation has created diverse image within the area; leaves fall; Branch posture; Tree bark peeling; has initated environmental transformation with the climate change. Thereby, the entire street's atmosphere and perspective is defined by natural elements; this imagery is to refresh people mentality and provide relaxation guildance to the dramatic P.17 metropolitan.
