Inspired by science fiction and minimalist contemporary museum architecture, the layout of the museum is circular, with a large spherical planetarium in the middle of the building. The inside of the planetarium is used for various performances, The new International Museum of Astronomy will be located while the outside functions as a spherical screen, giving a truly approximately a 15-minute drive east from the town of San spectacular display of spatial phenomena to museum visitors– Pedro de Atacama on the way to the ALMA astronomical facility. morphing from a view of deep space to a nebula, a massive Sun The museum is located almost wholly underground, with only a or the Earth.

While the spaces themselves allow for a more traditional exhibition arrangement when necessary, the focus of the museum is on interactivity and experimentation. On the top floor, a large central space welcomes visitors with a circular opening to the sky. In this space, visitors can experience the night sky with various telescopes with the help of museum staff. Below, apart from the planetarium itself, exhibitions will be interactive and use the latest technology, taking the visitor on a journey through different aspects of astronomy; possible themes are ”exploration”, ”history of astronomy”, ”scale in space”, ”past and future of the universe” with a special regard for children. ALMA staff should have an important role in the museum, and special science spaces are reserved for them.

Circulation follows a logical route, with visitors descending gradually to the lowest level, from which they can take an elevator back up to the top floor. There they are served by a museum shop and restaurant. Especially the lowest floor, which has plenty of free space, can be used for temporary exhibitions. The spaces surrounding the core are flexible and can be rearranged as needs of the museum change. A view of the spherical screen and entry to planetarium

Urban & Architectural Design of Spa Complex Building on Sloped Topography

Delft University of Technology | MSc2 Public Building Studio | 2013/2 - 2013/6 Schierke, Germany Tutor: Micha de Haas | M.J.deHaas@tudelft.nl Type: Architecture Competition Design (Individual Project)

Invited by the town municipality of Schierke for the architectural competition, group research and individual design are carried out by the MSc2 public building studio in 2013 spring.

In my proposal, a spa complex is being built in the area as the new attraction for tourists as well as a communal centre for the local residents. It serves both the local residents and the incoming visitors.

Schierke is a small town in the Harz region in Germany facing economic downturn. Possible solutions are investigated to help the town to boost its own economy at the same time to help maintain its identity.

The spa complex is segregated into separate compartments surrounded by nature and courtyards. The complex is built on a slope near the central park aiming at merging with the natural landscape.

Master Thesis in search for the People’s Utopia in the post-colonial Hong Kong

Delft University of Technology | MSc3 Design as Politics Grduation Studio | 2014/9 - 2015/6 Tin Shui Wai, Hong Kong Tutor: Huib Plomp(Deign Mentor) | Bas Gremmen(BT Mentor) | Wouter Vanstiphout (Research Mentor) huibplomp@outlook.com | B.Gremmen@tudelft.nl |W.A.J.Vanstiphout@tudelft.nl Type: Methodological Research on ‘New Utopia on the Ruins of Welfare State‘ in Hong Kong context & Architecture Design (Individual Project)


13

Under the studio theme ‘New Utopia on the Ruins of Welfare State’, my thesis project amied to provide a People’s Utopia, Heterotopia, where people is the centre of concern. This project, with people’s redevelopment approach, is an alternative to the tabula-rasa approach used by the government for development and urban renewal in Hong Kong. People’s approach means searching new methods to form a new society where local residents can have more control of their way of living and habitat in different aspects. In the future scenario 5 years from now, the Hong Kong government decided to help gentrify the whole Hong Kong cities, so decided to demolish all the public housing in Hong Kong and relocate the underprivileged people to “Hong Kong Land” in Mainland China. Tin Shui Wai New Town will be developed once again trying to get rid of the negative image with the gentrification approach of the government to private housing estates.

The Right to the City is questioned. Who own the city? Who has the right to the city? The case represented here is a Tin Shui Wai New Town in Hong Kong, also famously known as The City of Sadness. The existing inhabitants are resettled here originally from places all around Hong Kong. But they are forced to leave their home again according to HK government’s plan. Protestors including original resident and activists try to occupy the demolition site of Tin Shui Wai and start their own version of redevelopment. People should have the right to make decision on their living environment. This project touches important aspects in Hong Kong, including urban renewal, resident’s right to the land, resettlement, self-building, etc. What is the people’s approach to redevelopment? How to empower the people? A people’s version redevelopment will be the centre of the project.

Co-(Shop)housing Site Model showing the deconstructed residential highrise and the new low-rise neighbourhood by the community

This project include decontruction and reconstruction of the residential buildings by the people. Using original materials from existing buildings, the community is able to rebuild their neighbourhood according to their own need. The role of the architect is to help to design a neighbourhood which promotes community formation and economic independency, by designing options of housing typology with possibility to work at home and the Common House with shared facilities without invasion of privacy.

This is a housing project, by researching the transformation of housing typology in Hong Kong and co-housing projects in Europe. A new typology, Co-(Shop)housing is developed. By combining the characteristics of the South-east Asian Shophouse typology and that of the cohousing neighborhood typology, a new housing typology which fits the culture with the introduction of community decision making in the building and maintainence process is being introduced.

Wieczorkowski, J. Kwong Personal Contribution: Design Concept, Design Research, 3D-modelling, 3D-diagram drawings, Lego scale-model building, Photoshop drawings

“Cities should provide the best sunlight and air circulation with the most terraces and courtyards.� MVRDV The Why Factory studio started with this concept, group research of different parametric typology are carried out. Our group tried out many combinations of approaches and finally arrived at the voronoi approach.

All started with a mass. Air is being injected into the mass giving intersecting holes for light and air. The investigation was done on the limits of the height and number of cells being injected. A city is finally being built with voronoi cells. A 1:25 scale-model (2mx2m) is realized by lego blocks. Our group achieved the highest point at 1.8m.

Camp Pixelache View-Platform Construction Pixelache Festival | Hellowood Studio | 2014/6 Vartiosaari Island, Helsinki, Finland Organizers: Petri Ruikka, Mikko Laajola, Andrรกs Cseh Type: Small-scale Architecture Construction works Team: Erno-Erik Raitanen, Aron Vass-eysen, Carolina Isasi, Alexandru Dumitru, Roman Kos, Alise Brante, Maria Ferreira Litowtschenko, Katja Seppinen, Joan Kwong and many more Personal Contribution: Wood-cutting & building construction Photography: Carolina Isasi


29

On top of Vartiosaari Island, a new viewing platform was constructed. ‘Vartiosaari’ in Finnish means watch tower. It is the island with far view and wide perspective for Finnish people to watch out for enemy since the Viking period.

Originally the new view-platform is a temporary structure for the Pixelache Festival, but this time the structure will stay to be used by the people living on the island and incoming visitors, hopefully becoming a symbol of the island.

When thinking of new structures on the Vartiosaari island, installations related to the name of the island were thought. There were ideas of making viewing platform and/or watch tower.

Materials of the view-platform are also picked from the island. Some fallen trees provided the natural wood for the basic structure. Reeds grown near the coast provide the natural decoration. The view-platform can easily blend into the natural surrounding.

Russian Character International Competition ALA Architects | Competition, Shortlisted | 2014/4 Moscow Oblast, Russia Leading Architects: Juho Grönholm, Anssi Nousjoki, Janne Teräsvirta and Samuli Woolston Type: International Architectural Competition on ‘Butovo Park Culture and Education Center’ Team: Tonny Jensen, Joan Kwong and Zuzana Hejtmánková Personal Contribution: Design Ideas & Options; Photoshop drawings; 3D-modelling Images from ALA Architects

The Butovo Park Culture & Education Center is a new public centre of the new district in Moscow Oblast. The design concept is to encourage the formation of community while maintaining its identity. The architectural landscape on the rooftop is a multifuctional playground using difffernt materials like wood, grass, stone, glass, etc. providing a playful environment for residents and coming visitors.

External View of the rooftop garden

Intended to intergrate with the ground level, the Butovo Park Culture & Education Center building is designed as half-underground. It has two opposite entrances like a tunnel passing through the building. The sloped entrance tunnel connects to the big main space with all the programmes without separation, including 3 auditoriums, library, study area, cafĂŠ, daycare, store, exhibition space, gym, fitness center and dance studio.

Smaller programmes like library and cafe are all intergrated into the one big space. Bigger programmes like the auditoriums and the gym are sunken into voids looks like seperated rooms from the rooftop but in fact connect to the open fluid space. The skylight rooftop changes the interior atmosphere according to the weather conditions. It provides light variations to the interior space during the day.

1925 Lee Theater

Lee Theatre is a famous historical heritage building in Hong Kong owned by the Hysan Lee family. Originally a theatre showing Cantonese Opera, Lee theatre was completed in 1925. Lee Theatre also hosted a lot of famous events. In the 1980s, Lee theatre was redeveloped into a Lee Theatre Plaza, a commercial building. In 2011, Lee theatre Plaza is renovated once again for a more open design. Turning the originally indoor space at the two entrances into outdoor public space, the name of Lee Theatre Plaza as plaza is well-suited, providing a new place for people to gather.

The Living Museum

Museum Architectural Design in Hong Kong context

University of Hong Kong| Semester 6 Final Project | 2011/1 - 2011/5 Tamar, Hong Kong Tutor: Debra Cheung | cheungdt@hku.hk Type: Architecture and Landscape Design for a New Museum in Hong Kong (Individual Project)

The Living Museum is a daily life museum showing the lives in the public housing since 1950s till now. The museum is a sky village developed from the public housing typologies so the architecture itself is the main exhibit. It is a museum that you as a visitor can live it! This project aims at re-creating the atmosphere and spatial experience of living in the Hong Kong public housing in different decades. It also criticized on the lack of site specificity and the increase in compactness in more recent public housing, which urges the designers of the public housing to rethink how to create more interactions in a community in the future by designing more site-specific and more humane public housing typologies. This bachelor final project in the University Hong Kong inspired my master thesis project in Delft University of Technology. I realized that I am always concerned about the living conditions of the people, social interaction in public spaces, architecture facilitating the formation of community. I used this chance to investigate a better living condition in Hong Kong.
