OVERVIEW

Hong Kong is a high density city with space limitation and the maximisation of use of space. Specific typologies have evolved as a consequence of the density, creating hybrids of public (commercial) and private space (habitation). The studio investigated the spatial potentials of a public/private room and it’s relationship to the city.

Architecture doesn’t have to result in an actual

building, yet the understanding of tectonic, craft and materiality shall be embedded into architecture and the architect’s thinking process from the beginning. To master the understanding of conception, experimentation and crafting is a core competence of the architect. The studio offered a constructive

discourse to that process.
