EONE STORE A retail shop interior design project for a designer watch brand, Eone. With the idea of mobility and transformable, all display products and furnitures can be moved around and transformed into different configuration. - UPSOP Team -

ORIGINAL

OUR PL AN

Mobility for various space Our client, EONE, opened a boutique shop at PMQ. As the product of EONE will be shown in the PMQ building for different events (say the corridor and open square of PMQ) and the display will be changed frequently, mobility and flexibility are the main consideration when we design the space.

Different configuration The arrangement of the display unit can be changed according to different events and functions. Shown as the above diagram, it aims to create a flexible space, so most of the furniture in the shop can be transformed and moved. In order to allow the staff in the shop to work in a private area, a screen is to divided the customers area and working area.

Display unit details The unit is consist of drawers and the thin teak wood bar at two sides of the unit is actually a lock for holding units together.

The Screen The screen is made of upcycled teak wood floor timber, it is designed to change into different form for staff to tone freely. Each timber can be replaced easily for maintainance, they can be turned independently as blinds for staff to see the customer area while working. A storage drawer is behind the screen for storage and supporting the screen.

CNC Doorsign Based on the brand logo with deep and light grey color, which inspired me playing with shadow and light. By CNC different degree of wood depth, a contrast of light will be created when projected on the doorsign. And the above diagram shows the process of designing this doorsign.

CNC cutting sheets The above diagrams are the cnc cutting sheet of display unit and screen.

MOVA BAR The idea of movabar is to deliver, for a night, an exquisite catering experience through a transformable cart, which redefines the quality of space. It combines platform and system for off-site food & beverages city catering service. - UPSOP Team -

AWARDS to Movabar, Upsop 2016 DFA Awards - Merit Award 2016 100K Dreamcatchers Seed Fund Winner

Value of MOVABAR Traditional F&B industry usually has high transaction cost(time cost in sourcing, negotiation and organization) and mundane user experience which limit the food type choice and no creative serving experience. Movabar is a well designed and comprehensive catering system in hong kong against high rental and repeated experience. It is a mobile system for sharing and gathering with convenient and lower transaction cost. It is the “Uber” for F&B catering service, like hotel’s “room service”, but serving in anywhere in town.

Accelerando Accelerando is a pavilion inspired by the movement of dancers while the arrangement of the plywood panels shows an accelerating rhythm of a piece of music. The pavilion embodies the intimate and inseparable relationship between Dancing and Music and how they complement each other.

COMPETITION 2017 Hong Kong Young Architects & Designers Competition

Introduction The West Kowloon Cultural District Authority (WKCDA) is inviting young architects and designers to participate in an innovative design challenge for a Temporary Pavilion, located within the Nursery Park at the West Kowloon Cultural District. The Competition will provide a platform for young Hong Kong architects and designers to showcase their talent and gain invaluable experience by realizing the winning design to completion.

Objectives - To help nurture young Hong Kong architects and designers; - To provide an innovative architectural space to be enjoyed by the public and demonstrate the Authorityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s commitment to supporting creativity; and - To demonstrate that the WKCD is a project for Hong Kong people and raise its profile and visibility, both locally and overseas. Accelerando is a pavilion inspired by the movement of dancers while the arrangement of the plywood panels shows an accelerating rhythm of a piece of music. The pavilion embodies the intimate and inseparable relationship between Dancing and Music and how they complement each other. The reason behind choosing the performing art as the main idea for the pavilion is that how much we can expressed through dancing, the wide range goes from personal emotion to the celebration of humanities. And apart from the graceful dancing movement, rhythm is the second thing, if not first, to be noticed of in a performance. It affects us so much that even if we each have our own rhythm, we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help but to synchronize with rhythms we enjoyed. Additionally, to name the pavilion Accelerando is because the rhythm that we are illustrating is one that accelerates from all angles to the centre, so as to evoke excitement and interest, which echoes with the aim of such intriguing musical term.

1- Paper Model Test This is the brainstorming process for creating different curve and form that have strong meaning of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Danceâ&#x20AC;? and also find out the possibility of different curve connection. 2- Lines Exploration in CAD Based on the paper model, I then create different lines combination in CAD in order to see the aerial view of the pavilion. This step allow me to think about the space that is made by crossing the curves. Since the base of the pavilion is too big for installation, I need to divided the design into several parts. 3- 3D form tesing From 2D to 3D, explore the form in different direction and look inside the form. Also, 3D allows me the add the sunlight and think about th eshadow that be created.

Highlights of the Pavilion Accelerando consists of around 200 plywood panels to create a translucent rhythmic structure which provides a compelling shelter for visitors to have a place to rest when they are enjoying the walk along the promenade or a place to eat when have visited the kiosk right next to it. But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not merely a place to sit and take a break, the pavilion also contains shell-like form to create a theatre effect for performances, which urge visitors to pay attention to the centre of the stage, thus forging spontaneous theatres where both the performers and audiences can be causal and enjoy themselves. Furthermore, the installation method of the pavilion is aimed to have convenient assembly and removal on site. Plywood is used as the sole material throughout the whole pavilion for its strength and sustainability. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s our wish to keep the waste generated during or after constructing the pavilion to the minimum, so we only use one material for Accelerando.

The Liveable Growth of Asia City: The Future of Human Experience

Project Introduction The project â&#x20AC;&#x153;Liveable growth of Asia city: The future of human experienceâ&#x20AC;? can be divided into two parts. Firstly, it will focus on the human experience study in 3 categories of space design in everyday lives: retail, workplace and leisure space. It aims to compare the space urbaning and the experience index in order to set up a guideline for the design in the next part. Secondly, It will take some case study on Hong Kong old and new district development and design an ideal city model and urban planning suggestion for the public or government.

RESEARCH PURPOSE PROJECT OBJECTIVE

CLIENT AND AUDIENCE

Great study leads great design and a great design creates a peoplecentric city, this research aims to quantifies the direct impact on how design creates experience and to provide a holistic framework/ index for business and creators to take reference.

Clients of this project can be developer, design consultant or government, who play a significant part of the future of urban planning. They may find this project useful on understanding the present condition of Hong Kong and use this project as an index to plan the future smart city.

01 To understand the intention of entering a space.

Audience of this project can be in a large range of user, mainly commuter who travel around the city more frequently. The target age may be 25-40 that they will need to work, to leisure and to visit space that fulfill their daily needs.

Starting from human intension, the basic of human activities, and study how they interact and what they expect beyond.

02 To compare the future urban planning

LEISURE

Taking other Asia city urban planning as a reference, and then to compare the strength and weakness of Hong Kong: physically and politically. This helps on revealing the future plan as well.

e.g. SHOPPING MALL PARKS ART CENTER

03 To provide a guideline on resilient city design by 2060 Sometimes technology plays an important role on revolution, it may not in the way we think now, but it may helps on creating sustainable and resilient city. This project aims to study those factors for the coming 40 years

EXCEEDS EXPERIENCE

WORK e.g. OFFICE CONFERENCE

FACTORS OF FUTURE SMART CITY

DAILY NEEDS e.g. RETAIL MARKETS RESTAURANT

GREAT EXPERIENCE

GOOD EXPERIENCE

How can a city provide a comprehensive daily routine for local people, which fulfill their different needs?

QUESTIONS

RESEARCH DESIGN

In this part we come to more specifically discuss the parts and questions consider in this project, from research to conceptualise, desfine, plan and resilient strategies, as well as the experiences of space users witness the changes of city. The thesis also consider the processes and policy from the government to develop, comparing with the point of view from other scientific and culture study articales.

Section 1 and 2 focus on the human experience and how it is integrated into the government strategic planning process and quantity the factors through index, charts and tables.

This project will be concluded based on the results from three sections. Each of them has their own target and research method:

On the other hand, section 3 reviews different views from scientific and human behaviour researcher, identifying the trends and concerns in aspect of technology, mobility, live-work transformation, neighborhood and sustainable.

Postgraduate Study in a Global Context

METHODOLOGY

Thus, there may be two conclusion with opposite perspectives, which can still be conbined for the my further design.

This section is to identify and quantify the factors that humen think about a space for their leisure, work and daily needs. A framing of the activities will be generate and used to study the mode of experience.

-7-

01 Why will people visit or stay in a space? What will be the factors of design to impact their experience?

02 How are the processes to develop urban strategies by the government? Any strategies for energy and sustainability development?

03 How do recent scientific and human behaviour study articles think about Hong Kong development and urban planning? What essential factors they mentioned? Many articles have discussed about the urban planning strategies in different country, they are concluded through various study and research. It is valuable to abstract some point of view from them to support/ argue with the section 1 and 2.

Scenario 1

Scenario 2

Use the results and views from section 1 and 2 (S1 and S2) as the starting point, with reviewing section 3 (S3) to provide framing and context that support and enhance the analysis. â&#x20AC;&#x192;

Abstract the results from S3, and comparing it with S1 and S2 seperately, in order to obtain the contrasted and complemented findings.

Yip Wing Lun, Erica

This section is to compare the strategies from HK government with those from other Asia country, e.g. Singapore. And also discuss what local people think about that through some pilot survey.

CONFLICT BEWTEEN TOP-DOWN & BOTTOM-UP AGENCIES Revitalization of old district be relief the social issues in heavy populated areas. 2 patterns of social interventions are be identified: state and urban common intitiatives who takes large part in the revitalization process. The different between can be described as the following1: TOP-DOWN STATE INTERVENTION: Government participation where decision makers are chosen based on their technical expertise and background. It works along strong hierarchical constraints and active enforcament to develop the city. BOTTOM-UP INITIATIVES: Community participation in the evaluation os development proposals. Decision making is based on community interest; design and planning involved in advocacy and participated by the commons. These two different participations may lead the barriers for collaborations, unequal terrestrial distribution and the mismatch of actual need of people. When the city planners and decision makers fails to consider the signifiance of actions taken earlier in policy-making process and the community takes limited action upon large developmetn that requires large capital funding, deflicit demands will happen.

PROJECT OBJECTIVE Why Hong Kong as Research City?

Research Scope

With the dramatic growth and aging of population, most of the country in the world are eager to shape a resilient city. However, to fulfil the rapid economic development, buildings and public area become more and more identical and repetitive. This problem looks more significant in Hong Kong, such a highdensity and fast paced city, integrated with modern and aging buildings. People there are looking for the exploration and emotional impact of a space. Thus, the future values of a city lay on enriching everyday experience of people. With those problems, what will our city change after 40 years?

This project is divided into two parts. Firstly, A site in Hong Kong will be selected based on the recent government policy and development potential (“Fotan” is chosen in this research project), the urban will be study in three part: leisure, retail and workplace. Each part will be conducted and finish in different semester. After that, a urban strategy and design will be created as the future development suggestion and guidline for the government and city planners.

“The high-density urban environment of Hong Kong is characterised by mixed land uses, population and housing diversity, an efficient mass transit system and cheap public transport, and easy access to most facilities, all typical of a compact city-state. It should be an ideal base for consolidating other desirable New Urbanism concepts such as more open spaces, better housing options, pedestrian friendly neighbourhoods or a cultural identity.2”

2. Ganesan, S., Lau, S. Urban Challenges in Hong Kong: Future Directions for Design (2000)

Three objective will be focused: to understand the intention of entering a space, to compare the future urban planning and to provide a guideline on resilient city design. This research aims to quantifies the direct impact on the human experenice related to the design.

FOTAN Site Introduction

This project aims to create a urban strategy based on the current development direction of Hong Kong. Although most of the districts are well-developed, some of them are lack of organisation and mismatch the need bwtween community and the government. Fotan is a good example of it. Fotan is located in the central part of Sha Tin District in New Territories. It was originally call the “river beach”, which represented the low tide. Later, due to the Hakka accent, it geadually changed to “Fotan” and is still used till now. Since 1980s, the manufacture industry in Hong Kong has been declining. Factory buildings in Fotan has begun to be converted for commercial use, several large housing estates have been completed in recent years. Many local artists have settled in this area and set up studios due to the low renting. Fotan is expected to be a diverse and integrated area in the future. However, the development decisions by the government do not match the expectation of the community. Lacking of community facillities, partiperty, transportation inconvenience, etc hinder the revitalising of this new district.

MAPPING & ANALYSIS Presence of deprivation areas has made great impact onto the growth of the economy, especially in Hong Kong with serious land shortage problem. Fotan is formed by area with different level of land, some of the residential and college are located in the mountain level (white outlined area). For this project, we will focus on the rest of Fotan area, which is also the main active community. It has been quickly developed, however, the community has the following problems: 1/ Residential buildings are separated apart and divided by the industrial area, which affect the connection of neighborhood.

2/ The whole community highly rely on the MTR station and the bus terminal next to. For the inner residential area, the transportation is very inconvenience. 3/ The community facilities are very old and lacking. Large portion of Fotan area is occupied by the industrial buildings. 4/ The partiperty of luxury residential buildings are all located at the outer boundary area of Fotan, which hinder the view and connection of inner area. 5/ Lack of diverse of retail shops and leisure area.

URBAN ANALYSIS The urban analysis is to classify and highlight the typologies for the development process, those analysis helps to find out the opportunities when considering the new design. Fotan is a special site that three sides of it are surrounded by the mountains, while one side face to the MTR railway and Sha Tin District. Since some residential buildings are seperated apart on the mountain, the real active community is located at the flat land. It is a small and simple urban environment that formed by â&#x20AC;&#x153;Big boxâ&#x20AC;? structure. Each building block is seperated in grids as typical traditional industrial area.

FOTAN URBAN T YPOLOGY

Typology A Big box Existing building located in a block that seperated by different streets to form a organised grid structure.

Typology B Lane bwtween buildings Two similar building next to next and create a lane bwtween, which usually to be used as the shortcut or storage. Sometimes, there will also have the rear entrance of the building. Typology A
