My 9-month year out experience in ho & partners is short yet rewarding. Although I was not laregly involved in large scale projects like high-rise buildings or infrastructre, I designed small scaled district level projects that heavily engage with locals and local representatives and the government. Designing parks and covered walkways from scratch to tendering and thus construction is quite a unique experience to me as I seldom do such small scale projects in school. Other than project design, I was also heavily egaged in project management including communication with government officials and do presentaitons in district council monthly meetings. I was also involved in other projects that involve presentations and meetings including a high-rise fashion building .

Mongolian ger

The Mongolia elective in 2018 summer have gave me experience in doing real life constructions of constructing a Ger in Mongolia with bare hands, wood and primitive wood cutting machines.

The program was a summer elective that involves schematic design, production of detailed drawing, making of 1:4 models (which are 2m tall) prior to the visit in Mongolia. Afterwards, we flew to Mongolia for site visits and for the actual construction works at the factory using primitive wood cutting machines. We then constructed the Ger Hub on site. We then visited the final product after half a year and did interviews with users.

Toilet revolution

Toileting is the essence of human existence since as far as 5000BC. The form and location of public toilets reflect the way humanity treats its own body. The Toilet Revolution is a government campaign introduced by the Chinese government in 2015 aimed at improving the sanitary conditions in Mainland China and improving the social image of both urban and rural areas. From 2015 to 2017, over 68000 public toilets were constructed in China. However, many parts of rural China still suffer from poor sanitary conditions and millions are still unable to enjoy a clean private cubicle for themselves. The project therefore targeted at a primary boarding school in Lianghe, Yunnan where a dry toilet product, the DehTiet Ecological Sanitation System, is accommodated in different toilet design schemes.

LINEAR SYSTEM DESIGN

Thisdesign proposal is based on a linear toilet system: where toilets are arranged in a linear manner according to gender, privacy, location of the washing basin, water treatment plants and etc. The design is based on 3 concepts - Dry VS Wet Programs within the toilet, Wet VS Dry areas within the school area and Adjacent Village VS Primary School . The play of gender, dry and wet, agglomeration and seperation have made this toilet arrangements very unique in terms of spatial qualities.

Proposed Water

Grey Water Treatment

Grey water from the right wing, wash basins & 1F reach the septic tank in the left wing.

Physical and Chemical filtration will be performed to remove solids, detergents, pathogens, toxins and etc. Grey water will then join urine drained from another pipe and travel via the closed drains and reach the retaining wall, in which grey water will eventually be secondary filtered by vegetation

G/F demonstrates active seperation and division among villagers and students. Villagers can only circulation around the periphery overseeing the village while students can only use the side near the school

1/F is a place where two parties meet and interact. To ensure security, openess is ensured by having much less walls and a much open space. Only the showers are enclosed and it’s placed on 1/F to facilitate water treatment.

Grey water from 1F & wash basins is combined with urine to reach septic tank

Division of Programs, Users & Spaces

The building is designed such a way that the following contradicitons are addressed: Wet & Dry programs; Villagers & Students; Excreting & Gathering. By seperating users, it is aimed at serving different needs of different groups By seperating dry & wet programs, it is aimed at making the building technically sound and ct cost

My MArch thesis uses Los Angele’s Chinatown in the United States as a case study to examine how to culturally reinterpret Chinatowns when juxtaposed with its physical socio-cultural decline in the greater host society. Both quantitative and qualitative research was done on site to substantiate the possibility of retaining L.A. Chinatown in-line with overall metropolitan development by transposing the conventional horizontal enclave settlement pattern into a densely-compacted vertical tower encapsulating Chinatown. A new building typology called “Super Tong” is presently proposed, serving to agglomerate Chinese benevolent associations and Tongs into one high-rise tower sitting in the heart of the existing Chinatown zoned for commercial use.

LOS ANGELES CHINATOWN history

The History of the 5 Chinatowns

The 5 Chinatowns were located in different areas and developed very differently in Los Angeles Downtown characterized by thier nature. Old Chinatown being the earliest to emerge is a purely residential ethnic enclave for newly arrived Chinese immigrants to reside and offer mutual help. It was located at the heard of downtown where the present Union Station situated and where Little Italy was. Least amount of Chinese ornamentations were found and their settlement pattern was mostly linear with a large majority being tenants. Due to the huge population, people soon moved to East Adams in 1920s also mainly as a residential squad quite far away from downtown benealth little Tokyo. It was believed to be the first “suburb” in LA where Chinese still remained as tenants due to limitations caused by the federal laws. As business grew, city market, China City and New Chinatown was developed in 1900s and 1930s respectively to cater for Chinese merchants and businessman. While the former successfully developed into a wholesale market while Chinese owners start to own their business and land, both the later were in competition upon demolition of Old Chinatown and developed as a tourist spot and commercial center respectively.The later were located at the present Chinatown and remained a focal point for oversea Chinese for a long time.

While it is a place where migrated Chinese reside and gathered, Chinatowns all over the world also serve as a place for exotic sensations and shaped views of non-Chinese on China. Traditional Chinese elements are not uncommon in over 100 Chinatowns in the world across 5 continents, with South East Asia countries being the earliest locations where Chinatowns formed in fostering economic activities and trade by Chinese businessman and merchants.

The city market is the largest Pre-WWII wholesale produce distribution market operated by the Chinese community serving the whole county. Almost 80% of the produce consumed in LA was grown and distributed by Chinese merchants. Restaurants, groceries, pharmacy and etc were developed in the area.

East Adams was one of the first Chinese American suburbs before San Gabriel Valley emerged due to a lack of residential units in the city center and restrictive housing policy to immigrants. Its primarily residential especially filled with single family house due to the bachelor society.

Developed by social activist Christine Sterling, China City was planned and developed as a tourist spot serving white visitors. Rickshaw rides, movie sets from “The Good Earth” are part of the Chinese countryside themed park that stood for 9 years before it is destroyed by a suspicious fire.

Peter Soohoo was the initiator of New Chinatown, a new Chinese business center serving the Chinese community and operated by Chinese merchants. The area was expanded from the central plaza to western plaza, bamboo plaza and further away in the following decades.

LOS ANGELES CHINATOWN history

Since suburbanization that happened in the 70s, the New Chinatown has shrunk largely in size and experienced dramatic demographic shifts. Now, majority of the population has been replaced by blacks and Latinos while others have moved to San Gabriel Valley.

The Civic Center District tops the agenda by nailing down a redevelopment master plan that includes 6 phrases spanning from 2017 to 2032. Recen completion of the SOM-designed Los Angeles U.S. DIstrict Courthouse and the forthcoming First and Broadway park by Mia Lehrer + Associates and OMA marked the embarment of the master plan. The plan aims to convert the purpose-built bureaucratic and administrative quarter into a “Civic Innovation District”and establish City Hall as the visual and conceptual locus for an area that would stitch together the nearby neighborhoods and the Chinatown area. The current Chinatown is now also seeing a surge in interest from developers including high reise commerical and residential projects that will fill in vacant lots and redevelop old, torn down buildings.The lots near the LA State Historic Park is one of the area of focus.

1 Benevolent Associations locaitons, timeline and history in L.A. Chinatown

SUPER TONG

Themeaning of the project, “Super Tong”, is threefold. While it represents the agglomeration of benevolent associations, also called Tongs by many Chinese-Americans, into one single tower, “Super” also revealed hidden meanings of the Chinese, or China in general, as a rising super power, where the tower is situated at the center of Chinatown, just opposite to the power of focus of the federal government. The name also made referenced to the author’s surname “Tong” which contributed to a triple meaning in the naming of the project.

The project takes the assumption that the initiator of the project is the president of the CCBA and would like to search for a new location and new building for the headquarters for his association. CCBA is currently managing 27 associations while others are operating on their own. The current 5-storied CCBA headquarters was completed in 1952 and floors are either rented out as temporary venues for holding offices or office spaces for CCBA members to work and handle daily matters.

Due to redevelopment plans of the overall Los Angeles downtown area, the whole Chinatown is expected to be redeveloped and relocated. The project will accommodate all the remaining buildings and headquarters for the associations and serve as a reminiscence of the then-relocated or diminished Chinatown, and eventually, create a new building typology.

Although floors individual associations operate seperately and are allowed to have different configurations, certain boundaries and spaces are destined for special use throughout all floors. For instance, all the altars of the associations shall be located at the middle that symbolize feng shui, power and more.

The main temple is situated at the entrance across several floors. This serve as a threshold for outsiders to enter into the “Chinese World” of Super Tong served with occasional events, celebrations, performances and etc.

The First project in MArch involves the central harborfront where all students in HKU participates. My platform, ecologies, deals with problems related to the ecosystem, the water system, vegetation and etc along the harborfront. Inspired the fragmented nature of land along the harbour, my project looked into differences in materiality of pavings that exist in HK due to ownership and maintenance problems.

I later narrowed down the project into looking at spontaneous vegetation that occurs and grow in pavements which in turn provided opportunities for architectural intervention through passive and active addition, subtraction and modifications. Several parameters were set to focus the project into an architectural intervention.

SPONTANEOUS VEGETATION DEVELOPMENT

Concrete requires minimal intervention, while paving blocks require moderate intervention and media strips required highest intervention. These two types of paving are the most common in Hong Kong as both footpaths and carriageways while median strips are everywhere in viaducts and highways. Along with the master plan, these diagrams and photomontages serve as an imagination or prediction how controlled spontaneous vegetation growth will eventually end up with, with the harbourfront being the starting and testing spot.

Miscellaneous

This section includes all other non-studio works including electives, technical drawings, softwares and etc. Throughout 6 years of education, I have engaged myself heavily in electives and subjects that are not merely buildings related.

Electives such as landscape related and urban planning related ones have given me opportunities to get in touch with areas that I am not familiar with but interested in. I have also explored widely into BIM, especially Revit during my days in BArch, where nearly all 3D models were builtt out of Revit including structural analysis.

Selected works include revit works, illustator, photoshop, special programs, technical drawings and etc.
