插管 [INTUBATION] SOLVE THE PROBLEM OF INSUFFICIENT LIVING SPACE DUE TO THE EXCESSIVE POPULATION DENSITY IN HONG KONG

插管 [INTUBATION] HONG KONG'S POPULATION PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS THE POPULATION OF HONG KONG IS INCREASING POP

CONCEPT The population of Hong Kong has shown a continuous growth from 7,185,996 in 2015 to 7,496,981 in 2020. People have built skyscrapers in order to create more space on limited land. At the beginning, skyscrapers do provide more space for people, but with the increasing population, the number of skyscrapers will continue to increase, and eventually they will fill the land of Hong Kong.

How are we going to create new space for people to use when we can't build new skyscrapers anymore? This has become a question that we have to think about.

In Hong Kong, a city with very dense buildings, there will be some unused gaps between skyscrapers. We use these gaps to convert them into space that can be used by people. This method can provide more usable space in a limited area.

We insert huge pipes into the skyscrapers, and inside the pipes are space for people's activities and transportation, which not only solves the problem of insufficient space, but also strengthens the connection between buildings.

The transportation system in the pipe will provide a new way for people to commute, and the streets will become less crowded. We call this Intubation.

UNUSED SPACE

INTUBATION

Intubation can make people move in the gap between skyscrapers and make full use of the unused space in the city.

The building itself is an independent existence, and there is not much communication between the two buildings. When an individual's main activities are concentrated in one building, the individual may have no experience of entering the neighboring building. When Intubation connects two skyscrapers, people can more easily communicate with people in other skyscrapers through Intubation.

HONG KONG HAS A HIGH POPULATION DENSITY Hong Kong is one of the cities with the highest population density in the world, its population density is 23.8 times optimal urban population density. Only 1,106.66k㎡ of land carries 7,496,981 people, Nearly 80% of them live in coastal areas, which make up only 15 percent of Hong Kong's total area. Over the past decade, Hong Kong's population has grown by an average of 0.8% per year.

Hong Kong faces a very serious population problem. As the population continues to increase, the average living space of people will continue to decrease. How to create more space in a limited area has become a serious problem for us to think about.

Skyscrapers can effectively save the floor area. With the continuous increase of Hong Kong's population, there are 333 skyscrapers in Hong Kong today, which ranks first in the world. But even though skyscrapers can provide more space than ordinary buildings, the average Hong Kong resident still lives in very little space.

Intubation can also be seen as a three-dimensional road network in the air, which can share part of the pressure from commuters on the streets.

STRATEGY

OPTIMAL URBAN POPULATION DENSITY

Intubation passes through the gap between skyscrapers and connects them, like building a bridge between skyscrapers, which enhances the connection between skyscrapers. When the Intubation grows to a certain extent, they become a road network in the air.

POPULATION DENSITY IN HONG KONG

Intubation is divided into two structures, connecting pipe and residential pipe. The connecting pipe connects the residential pipe at the intersection, and the residential pipe is used for people's activities.

CHALLENGES IN HONG KONG

As the Intubation system grows, we can replicate multiple layers and connect the upper and lower layers through specific positions, because this part of the space has a vertical height.

A more efficient solution is that instead of replicating the layers sequentially as the Intubation grows, we can make the Intubation three-dimensional from the beginning and fill in unused spaces as the Intubation grows.

SOLAR ELEVATION ANGLE: 30°

Hong kong is located at 114 ° 15 'east longitude and 22 ° 26' north latitude, the solar altitude angle at this position is 4 ° (6:00 am) to 84 ° (12:00 am) of the summer solstice and 0 ° (7:00 am) to 44 ° (12:00 am) of the winter solstice. The large french window makes the room get enough sunlight most of the time, and it also provides people with a wide field of vision.

Considering that most of the residents in the Intubation are workers, they spend most of the day on work, the apartment is only their sleeping place, and the space we have is limited, so the area of each room is small, only 17.5m2. However, with a sunny environment and wide vision, people will not feel depressed in this space.

When the residents enters the lighting interface, there will be 8 sliders controlling five ceiling lights and three wall lights in the room. Residents can slide these sliders vertically to control the brightness of each light respectively. When residents slide the slider to the top or bottom, the light will be the brightest or turned off.

When residents enter the thermostat interface, the number on the left is the temperature in the current room. Residents can slide this area vertically to change the value. On the right is the measurement unit of temperature. Residents can set it to celsius or fahrenheit according to their usage habits. In the initial state, it is celsius.

插管 [INTUBATION] CONNECTION AND STABILITY BETWEEN INTUBATION AND SKYSCRAPERS

STAKE The stake is the component that fixes the Intubation to the skyscrapers, and it is also the necessary route for people to enter the Intubation. The stake is fixed on the roof of skyscrapers in the city. It is connected with the connecting pipe with vertical pipe and plays a supporting role for the Intubation. At the bottom of the stake is the entrance where people take an elevator to enter the Intubation. When the connecting shaft at the lowest end of the connecting pipe has a certain distance from the stake, a transition pipe will be inserted here.

STAKE FRONT VIEW TRANSITION PIPE

The flexible hose ensures that the outrigger will not be damaged due to excessive force when the Intubation is inclined. When the Intubation inclines, the flexible hose will expand and contract appropriately to reduce the stress. When the outrigger straightens the Intubation, the flexible hose will return to the initial state.

ELEVATOR When people enter the Intubation from the four entrances at the bottom of the stake, they can move to the connecting pipe through the elevator. There are four elevators at the bottom of each stake, and the orientation of the elevator door is consistent with the direction of the entrance of the stake.

When the stake is inclined, the outrigger opposite to wind direction will be extended, which will give the stake a thrust force to straighten the inclined stake.
