CHARLES WU
PORTFOLIO 2012-2018
Design for Life I believe the role of architects are to build for life. Architecture is a mirror of culture, humanity and lifestyle. Hence, I would like to rethink my life experience, living environment, and every relationship with every single person I have ever met in order to creat better space, better architecture. Thank you to my parents, Tung Mui Cheung and Kwok Chor Wu, who created my life.

POST-WORK HABITATION 01 EVER-CHANGING SKYSCRAPER FOR POST-CAPITALISM WORLD
Hongkong, in the near future, where automation has taken control to the full extend. A place where A.I and Robot basic income system has been delivered for all of the unemployed citizens. Human kind progress to a new kind of As most of the white-collar jobs are fully automated, office towers will become useless and empty. However, the since most people have no works, they will spend more time at home and enjoy their freedom. In exchange, peo activities. Thus, this lead to a mass reduction in office spaces, but an increment in housing space. Therefore, a logica will be executed to re-occupy, renovate and re-alter office towers to become a new type of housing for people dynamic and democratic community across the ex-economical area of Hongkong. 01

Realistic Image of Bank of China Tower in HK In 2050, banking has turned to be fully online and autonomous. Bank Organisation has started their campaign to give back the empty office space to the state. The state has deployed a strategy to re-distribute housing people from an overcrowded area, such as Kowloon into the centre of ex-economical area, which now is becoming vacant. The Bank of China Tower, which was once described as a symbol of the capitalist forces, are now depicted to be one of the first structure to imply this democratic bottom-up housing strategy.

AN AUTONOMOUS SYSTEM The process begins by analysing the basic needs of every citizens’ dream houses, then continued by observing the common activities that could be included into their new utopian neighbourhood. This information then will be gathered through an app called the “Dream House”, an interactive feedback platform which provides big data for further analysis. In the meantime, a centre of A.I design system will be using a computational power, which have been developed by architects and computer engineers, starting by generting a simulation system to aggregation and finally optimizing an eco-neighbourhood which balance the needs of each users, whilst providing an adequate quality of energy, light, ventilation and greenery for the more sustainable community and well-being inhabitants. Finally, the robotic manufacture, assembly and construction was deployed to renovate the existing structure and aggregating the new functions.

NEXT TO THE VICTORIA HARBOUR
There will be no more Central Business District (CBD) in 2050.Office towers will be developed into co-living habitation. Environment-human symbiosis is encouraged with the help of artificial intelligence. 06

Housing Type A Type A is created for young adults and office workers, who spend most of their time on working remotely from home. The house will require a single bedroom, kitchen and a bathroom.
Housing Type B Type B House is created for young designers and entrepreneurs who has just started their own career. The house will contain a larger working space that are separated by the size of the cube.
Housing Type C Type C is created for families, who tend to focus on spending their time together. The house will be having a larger communal areas, such as spatious living and dining rooms. The house will contain 2 or more bedrooms.
Housing Type D Type D is a perfect suit for people who loves outdoor activities. This type of housing is focused on bringing the outdoor atmosphere into the indoor area, creating a special vibe that connects them with the nature. The outdoor space of the house will be connected with the farming green house, where people can enjoy growing their own food.

The winner of the competition is the team that best blends design excellence and smart production with innovation, market potential, and energy and water efficiency. Solar Decathlon is more than a competition. It's an intensive learning experience for consumers and homeowners as they expe the latest technologies and materials in energy-efficient design, clean energy technologies, smart home solutions, water conse measures, electric vehicles, and sustainable buildings.

It is a tradition in Chinese culture to respect the old and to value filial piety, yet this is challenged by a tremendous migration from villages to cities. Families are stretched spatially: the elderly stay in resourceless hometown while their children work in tensed cities. Thus, commonly the old switch across cities to help take care of babies or be taken care of by offspring, through which they lose the sense of home, however.

THE LOST LAND 05
RENOVATION OF THE CHUNGKING MANSION IN HONG KONG
The city is developing non-stop, old buildings are deconstructed and replaced by high-rise blocks. However, the lifestyle in and regular as the city space is too dense which leads to a lack of public space. There is a lose of vitality in the city, but in the lifestyle is still fascinating. Though it is disordered, dirty and confused, we can find anything that we want in it. Though the people in it are interacting all the time. Chungking Mansion is the lost land in Hong Kong. As the days have passed, Chungking Mansion is getting older. I would like to undertake renovation of it. The renovation s upgrade the space and facilities in it, but also to raise public awareness of the importance of vitality in Hong Kong. 43
n HK become boring Chungking Mansion, e space in it is dense,
scheme is not only to 44
THE LOST LAND RENOVATION OF THE CHUNGKING MANSION IN HONG KONG In the Lost Land, the space will be still dense and small, the richness of spaces is maintained. Moreover, there will be a blur between interior and exterior space in order to allow interaction between the Lost Land and the buildings surrounding. Also, the green area is the essential element in the Lost Land. Mainly, there are four components which compose the Lost Land, they are elevation, rooftop garden, super atrium, and rich spaces.
AD PEKING RO
Elevation
The elevation of the Lost Land is remaining the same scale and order with the buildings surrounding in order to maintain the organic order of the city. Also, it is used to hide the richness inside the building, you can only find amazement when you get into the Lost Land. Moreover, some small sky gardens are created on elevation in order to allow interaction between the Lost Land and the city.
Rooftop Garden
The rooftop garden is an enjoyable space. Everyone in Hong Kong hope to live with a rooftop garden which allows us to get closer to the sky. Due to the density of skyscrapers in Hong Kong, people can seldom see the blue sky. Hence, a life with rooftop garden is really important. Moreover, the rooftop garden in Lost Land can also become a platform to connect with the rooftop of buildings surrounding.
Super Atrium
When people access into the Lost Land, we will finally arrive a spiritual space, the Super Atrium. It is a 55m tall atrium with a perfect circular pond on the ground floor. It is elaborated from the original atrium which is a traditional space in Hong Kong residential buildings. At the Super Atrium, you will feel free and comfortable. The waterfalls are pouring down from the rooftop down to the circular pond, bushes and greenwalls are planted on every sky garden, it is a good place to take a rest and think. You will never be influenced by the outer world when you are in the Super Atrium, but only the sky and the pond.
Rich Spaces
The spaces in the Lost Land is small, but rich. It contains, residentials, restaurants, museums, libraries, gyms...etc. They are welcome to everyone, no matter how old you are, what sex you are, where you are from. And in the Lost Land, you will find out the things you have lost.
