01 THE EMOTIONAL JOURNEY IN THE FUNERAL HOUSE

The site is the Grand Peace Funeral House which is under construction during the design phase. This studio assignment tried to use the interior parameters to imply the emotional suggestion for the different visitors who need the space to calm down the emotion and who can go to the funeral room directly. The start point of the design is that we seperated different moving line for those different users. The moving line for staff carrying the dead bodies is also considered. Among the various moving line, the emotional rooms are arranged to enter freely. The aimbition of this project is that to let the emotion of the close relationship visitors have reasonable venting way. In the desperated site create the hopeful space.

HUB A. Sharing by entertainment

02 RE-IMAGINE THE INDUSTRIAL LANDSCAPE This project focuses on the three non-labour group users: the children, the old and the tourists.The site in the unique condition of being the previous industry zone and now is facing the transformation stage. The success of Hong Kong began with the progress from an entreport to an industrial city which was led by the development of various industries in the Kwun Tong Industrial Area in the 1950s. In the urban transformation process, we analyze the history and development of Kwun Tong area as well as respecting the original industrial culture and integrating the site with â&#x20AC;&#x153;playâ&#x20AC;?

FOR THE OLD: read magazine and newspaper for free, watch Cantonese opera under the bridge; FOR CHILDREN: share the kids books together; FOR TOURIST: enjoy local writings and buy souvenirs from street stores opened by locals. HUB B. Learning by sports

The design is 4 hubs, 2 streets and 1 loop. 4 hubs means 4 corners and surrounding people, we add new activities based on the existing buildings and urban context around 4 corners which purpose is to bring people together; 2 streets stand for the various activities, the movements of pedestrains build up streets and different events happen in the street; 1 loop means industry culture in the site, through designing the loop helping and hoping people find culture in Kwun Tong. FOR THE OLD: daily check in traditional way, play Chinese KongFu; FOR CHILDREN: play games, do eye checking through the games; FOR TOURIST: sit down to rest for a while, learn HK traditional culture.

FOR THE OLD : farm together and cook with the family; FOR CHILDREN: experience the nature in a hub of educational function, play with the virtual plants; FOR TOURIST: plant their own flowers or trees and carry them next time.

FOR THE OLD: go fishing here; FOR CHILDREN: Sakura gold fishing; FOR TOURIST: row a boat to view the sea sight, see the future view through VR technology.

The isomatric view is the representation of the Hoi Yuen road. We want to activate the street by adding the different new activities and give the fresh, proper place spirit to this street. The design strategy applied first is that pick the specific industrial buildings transferring the function like to be the gallery or the clinic; second is that provide the footbridge for the visitors to have the different perspective viewing the site; third is that the new function would add the new transportation tools to the site in order to create the new street system which can lead the visitors explore the post-industry culture of Kwun Tong.

03 HONG KONG2, THE STRIP CITY The studio project set up a future what if there are more 7 million population settled in Hong Kong? The city is need to be simplify the pattern which can be summarised as the strip shape. In the phase 1, the group try to find the connection of each district and simulated the rectangle or square to cover the city. In the phase 2, classify each strip function and calculate the present situation. In the phase 3, test and create the morphology of the Hong Kong future. Make the world as Hong Kong cases putting Beijing as the administration strip, Manhattan as the central park strip and so on. In the phase 4, the group calculate and put 7 million citizens inside the strips. In the final phase 5, the group transfer all 2D works to the 3D works and got the density conclusion. This map is the urban morphology map which drags the worldwide city into the Hong Kong to imagine the future of it. Each strip stands for the Ap Lei Chau density around 100,00 population. This project proposed a possible developing plan for the Hong Kong when : the CBD center would moving to the Kowloon, new town would be designed to accomodate more people, the polycentric plan would be replaced by the communtity formation. Compared to the present refill policy the project prefer to develop present mountain which is the open space can be entered.

For building density and height, we used the texture of the reference city to create a 3D model effect. The overall density and height of the building in the zoom in area can be clearly seen and the project effect can be more intuitively perceived.

This capston project is based on my research issue: the publicity of the body. Exploring whether people can maximize their liberation in the public vision, that is, anyone can do whatever they want; in this case, I named the situation urban carnival. In the first step, I have to choose the right site, a place where there are enough people to expose themselves. But in this place they must obey the visible, invisible, spatial, material rules, which may cause the users have the uncomfortable feelings. The street is such a place where people walk, stop, observe and hide. The existing streets in Hong Kong are not enough to meet all the situations of reality. The ideal urban carnival can create an situation to fulfill all the condition of the users.

SECTION B-B 1:400 The footbridge can be designed as the multi-layers

The second step I need to choose the right strategy, my first thought is to change the existing road conditions, like raising the road surface or building the footbridge across the different buildings. Then, during the analysis, I found that I can reorganize the various elements of the street to subvert the user experience. So I figured out all the facilities that can be changed and what can happen in the future.

HIGHWAY HIGHWAY

In the third step, I put the right strategy into the right place to test whether they have reached the subversive effect. The brief of the street should be walkable, stoppable and inclusive. To test the surbversion I remove all the vehicles and design the whole site for the pedestrains. My proposal starts from the smallest facility reorganization and affects each usersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; body in the street. The end section of report shows the combination of facilities and pavement deformation to achieve the subversion.

The hand drill would be turned into the soft material and also hanging the advertisement or poster

The pop-up arcade can be set up by nearby residents using recycled bed sheets

Road lighting in the night would project guiding line and in specific case can project another paving

PROPOSED SECTION PA N O R O M A

The narrative of the master plan is expanded by the entrance, once they entered the street they enter another demension of the streetscape. I added the purify design to meet the need of mutiple bodies and permit pedestrains to pass the street quickly or stop in any point of the street. Thus you can see the roller coaster appear in the multi layers bridge and new transportation would come up. Also the street would be turned into the public recorder. CCTV records everything and project into the wall, we walk, we go through, we see, we think.

06 BOTANICAL GARDEN IN THE HOME This site is a residential area in the East campus of China Agricultural University. The present situation is a enclosure community with a history of over 30 years. The current plants plan is a little mess and the pavement design also has problem like broken concrete. As a renovation project, set the present plants as the design center and try to keep big trees as much as possible. Following the plants and combining residents, buildings and other elements, I get a plan as a botanical garden in the home. In my imagination, people come across these path feeling topography breathing fresh air and greeting each other.
