Model Evolution

Issue The proposed building is placed in between two existing buildings. It is important to integrate the proposed and existing buildings, culturally and technically. Only through this way, the public awareness will be raised toward heritage preservation.

Concept Inspired by Chinese classic story 'Gao Shan Liu Shui', the flowing curves, which mimic the ups and downs of the mountain in vertical space and flowing water in horizontal space, are more helpful to create free space to get a perfect view of the traditional drama performance in the center courtyard and the existing buildings.

Strategy

The interaction between the proposed and existing buildings -Center courtyard In order to leave a big courtyard in the center, the rooms are placed around the premise of the site. The courtyard then would naturally engage a dialogue fed by the emergence of cinematic function. The semi-circular courtyard also widen the viewing perspective from the crowd.

-Amphitheater The Chinese traditional performance that took place in the center courtyard such as shadow play, is anticipated to attract more viewers to enjoy the performance.

Inward compresse space as much as possible.

4

Add public space around the site.

-Corridor The semicircular corridor allows people to enjoy the show from different angles. On the west side, The corridor branches out to link the proposed and existing buildings.

In between the existing and proposed buildings The traditional performance will take place near the existing building while the high-tech film is projected in the screening room or IMAX hall. A semi-circular stage and a moon-shaped courtyard connect the existing and proposed buildings, attracting more people to participate in the dialogue between tradition and modernity. The traditional performance is not only a recreational activity, but also a cultural way of protecting the existing buildings through raising public awareness.

At the entrance, people can view the courtyard amphitheater and visually interact with the people from 2nd floor.

An amphitheater for people to see authentic performance like Beijing Opera, and modern drama. Viewers could either view the performance in the historical buildings of the outdoor courtyard or the interior semicircular corridor.

At the point where the proposed and existing interface meet each other, the corridor extended from the semicircular corridor from the west enables a perfect view for performance. It also allows viewers to physically engage with the building.

Interior Space

In the vertical space, the height variation would give people wonderful spatial experience. It was aimed to have a relaxing ambience for people to rest anywhere they want. The viewers can also enjoy the city's scenery on the second floor both outside and inside.

This large undeveloped land turned this place into a public space that lack of character and social engagement. This vast space could have been a space that allowing community engagement for nearby residents and workers.

Concept

The proposal of this community service center is to allow people experiencing different spatial expression in the transitory space. The transitory spaces are seen as key parts to be explored in this proposal and they allow visitors to refresh their experience from one space to another, by going through the transitory space that sitting in-between.

People could find their shelter within the double wall composed of pine wood strips around a large blank space in the center.

They could as well walk into the blank space and see the shadow variation in the center yard. The contemplative nature of the space will hopefully eliminates negativity from high stress environment.

Inspired by Damien Hirst's art work, the space aims to have consecutive sliced segment divided by 6 copper walls. These copper walls are linked by continuous bridges and staircases.

People can only see the route ahead as they go further each time.

Porosity Space

Material: brick Involved functions: elderly activity room, reading room, multi-functional classroom, network room Users: the older, people with long screen time or reading time Users' features: Lonely elderly people that longing for companion and communication; Nature lovers, Pause from work.

Spatial Features: natural, ventilated, relaxed, communication

Brick is a conventional building material that went through a long history in China. Different masonry methods of brick can produce different patterns of porosity. The variation of size and hole allows wind and the sunshine pass through. People can then enjoy a break with warm sunlight and soft breeze.

Talk in the Afternoon, Photographed by Ho Fan

Inspiration

Inspired by Ho Fan, the Hong Kong famous photographer who was good at capturing the moment of light and shade changes, recording the lives of ordinary people in the metropolis as well as the unique flavor of life in Hong Kong. I hope to use the architectural method to show Hong Kong residents' real life, creating more interaction between people and building.

Theatre of life

The building is an unique theatre which consistantly reflects every moment of real life. Within the building, each visitor is a performer as well as an audience; one inside and also outside.

Passerby walking on the street, could see the performance of real life carried out by people inside who at the same time watching the movie screening.

Journey of the Extended Ground

Scene: the lane behind the building Actor: residents, pedlar Time: daytime

Scene: experience zone surrounded by litracon Actor: kids, adults Time: daytime / night

At night, people go back home and they must pass through the long narrow alley which could be boring and unsafe.

However, the space is now added beautiful timber structure which lit up the palette of the entire space. It is interesting to begin this journey.

In the morning, residents go out for work and pedlars start to prepare breakfast for sale. The litracon facade in the morning looks like normal concrete, which is completely different from it looking at night.

The key space is the experience zone surrounded by litracon. At night, the light pass through the litracon from inside and people outside can watch the 'shadow drama' performed by people inside.

The first projection area is on the second floor and it is used for projecting films as well as holding some lectures about life tips.

The second projection area, which is on the third floor, is the main space used for projecting films. The movie is projected on the projection glass which can make the film be seen by people both inside and outside.

When kids end up the learning in school, this space is prepared for children who forget to bring their keys or they found their parents are not at home. They can play hand shadow game with partners or sit down to watch cartoon movies.
