COURSE OBJECTIVES The Capstone Project is your final design project based on your individually-defined brief, program and concept that should fit in one of the three categories of: Urban interiors, Urban Space and Urban Systems. The Capstone Research Project (your research and investigation and design positioning) is your starting point fot the Capstone Project. The Capstone Project is organized into three related parts. As a guideline the following descriptions are outlined. The specific requirements may be adjusted if you wish to do something different but you should discuss this with your tutor: 1. Concept: The concept stage is to define your key concepts or conceptual framework as well as the scope, scale and parameters of your project. This work is a development of the issues and ideas from your Capstone Research Project but it begins to design with the aspects you researched and analyzed. In this stage you need to: 1) define and make clear the parameters of People (users, stakeholders) Place (site and context) Program (functions, use) and Process (design techniques and methods); and 2) develop approaches to realizing your program on your given site, exploring how you are spatialising (making spatial), making temporal (making time based if appropriate) and contextualizing (in the larger urban context) your conceptual ideas. Appropriate media should be used to communicate the concepts including; relational diagrams, sequence diagrams, sketches, collage, sketch models, conceptual models, story boards, etc. 2. Development: The development stage consolidates the parameters and approaches from your concept development and develops them into a concrete design. In particular you should be able to show the spatial qualities of the spaces you are designing and how this is experienced by the users. By the end of this stage, you should have a set of basic visualizations, models and drawings describing and explaining your project. You should use appropriate media or representations such as plans, sections, axonometrics, digital and physical models at appropriate scales. Other representations might include spatial narrative drawings (to show time or program sequence), compositional or tectonic (form) studies or mixed media. You should negotiate with your tutor the drawings and models you will produce in this stage at least one week prior to the presentation. 3. Presentation: The presentation stage resolves your design and finalizes the design to a high level. Presentation and communication to a wider audience is important and you project should use appropriate media to present this and make this clear. This includes renderings and perspectives, explanatory diagrams, animation (if appropriate) as well as resolved plans, sections, details, 3d drawings and models to show the urban, spatial and physical properties of your design from a macro level and from the point of view of the user so that we can understand the physicality and materiality of your project. You should present at least two final models at different scales. You should negotiate with your tutor the drawings and models you will produce in this stage at least two weeks prior to the presentation.

ISSUE SITE CONTEXT

What is INFORMAL SETTLEMENT? - The ownership of the land is in dispute and/or is not legally registered - The settlement is in contravention of the master-plan land use zoning regulations - Planning standards are not met - Dwellings are constructed in contravention of building standards and regulations
Where does INFORMAL SETTLEMENT from? This specific term ‘informal settlement’ tends to convey overtones of pejorative social stigma, such as: ‘criminality’, ‘social deprivation’, ‘unhealthy and disease ridden’, ‘uneducated’, ‘lack of civic awareness and anti-social behaviour’. Behind all of this phenomenon and reflections, there is a primary reason that could explain how this informal settlement exists - POVERTY issue.

HONG KONG LOCAL ISSUES TARGETED PEOPLE
People living in informal settlement are mainly unemployed citizens, low income family, new immigrants, etc. The average size they occupied is found to be 4 square metre per person. By analyzing one of the biggest and densest places that with these existing informal settlements - Sham Shui Po, there are mainly two groups of people living here. - Lived alone elder with social security from government - New immigrant family with low-income but long working hours
LIVED ALONE ELDER
NEW IMMIGRANT FAMILY
As the phenomenon of population aging become more and more dominant, this weak group is starting to impotent poor especially those elders living alone without the ability of making money. This research majorly focuses on this large group of people with only income source coming from the Government.
It refers to people who just imigrate to another country or district. In Hong Kong context, it specificly refers to those people who could not compete with local residents in terms of skills to make a living and the ability of adapting into a new environment.

HONG KONG CONTEXT 1898 (100 years ago)
Hong Kong was ceded under the Convention of Chuenpee as part of a ceasefire agreement. Historically, there is a street marked the boundary between the southern part of Kowloon, ceded by Qing China to the United Kingdom in 1860, and the northern part of Kowloon, which remained part of China until it was leased as part of the New Territories to the United Kingdom in 1898 for 99 years. The boundary was made visible by a long line of high bamboo fences which effectively blocked smuggling between Chinese Kowloon and British Kowloon at that time.
1934 (80 years ago)
It became obsolete when New Territories joined the colony. Although the street is the historical mark on the boundary, the road did not come to exist until 1934, more than 30 years after the lease of boundary north. The road was built to accelerate the development of Kowloon Tong and identify the difference in calculation of rates between the boundary north and south.

1950 (60 years ago)
The 1950s in Hong Kong began after Japanese rule ended in 1945 with sovereignty returning to the British. However, the Nationalist-Communist Civil War was renewed in mainland China. It prompted a large influx of refugees from the mainland, causing a huge population surge. The government struggled to accommodate these immigrants. In 1953, a major fire destroyed the Shek Kip Mei shantytown of immigrants from Mainland China that had fled to Hong Kong, leaving 53,000 people homeless. The 22nd Governor of Hong Kong, drew up an emergency housing programme that introduced the 'multi-storey building' as a common building form. His structures were capable of housing 2,500 people in a fire/flood-proof structure. The idea was to house as many and as fast as possible to deal with the homeless shelter crisis. Every floor in the building included a communal room, washroom, and toilet facility. Each person was granted 24 square metres of space. The high rise buildings would become the norm, as skyscrapers have a small footprint compared to their overall volume.

POINT
[POTENTIAL OPPORTUNITIES] Along the Boundary Street, there are lots of opportunities for developing into a design proposal. The two initial ideas will be “TRAINING SCHOOL” and “A NEW DEFINED PARK”. The TRAINING SCHOOL aims to provide the foundations for new immigrants and low-skilled people to get a better skill in order to have a better living. At the same time, it is a great intervention to co-exist with the existing old buildings by providing a new vertical circulation system to serve the surrounding residents. The NEW DEFINED PARK aims to provide a platform to integrate this highly devided hierarchy district that with a gap between the poor and the rich district. Meanwhile, it also makes itself as a CENTRAL PARK in HONG KONG. It also contribute to the surrounding environments by connecting the northern and southner parts.

Global potentials
The future is dense
The LIVE BETWEEN BUILDINGS project is a new way of living in the city. Infills between existing buildings that consist almost entirely of Fakro window technology enable a life hyper-close to nature and city life, while on the same time exploiting the qualities of the already existing blind walls of the city.
As Fakro is strengthening their global presence, the LIVE BETWEEN BUILDINGS way of living is also going global. We have pinpointed some possible building sites in cities around the world. Using the different roofwindows available from Fakro, a wide variety of housing typologies are possible, thereby reacting to the context and culture of the specifc urban setting.
With minimal footprint and facade surfa ing quality, the LIVE BETWEEN BUILDIN a denser, more sustainable city of the f examples, showing both the range of po available interesting building gaps world

It resolves your design and finalizes the design to a high level. Presentation and communication to a wider audience is important and you project should use appropriate media to present this and make this clear. This includes renderings and perspectives, explanatory diagrams, animation (if appropriate) as well as resolved plans, sections, details, 3d drawings and models to show the urban, spatial and physical properties of your design from a macro level and from the point of view of the user so that we can understand the physicality and materiality of your project. You should present at least two final models at different scales.

FINAL STATEMENT This half a year self learned subject taught me something I couldnot have learned outside school. From the beginning of self defined issues and site context to the end of design proposal, it is a wealthy and valuable journey for my after school practice career. As my goal of pursuing an practiced ARCHITECT, I have learned lots of important small hints that would help me to guide me directly into the right direction. At the same time, as a DESIGNER, there is always a BALLANCE between the concepts with the design proposal. It is unavoidable exercise we need to experience. Fortunately, we have actually strived this ‘mental struggle’ quite earlier before we stepped into a real business firm. The most challenging part of this learning process, I would say is the beginning part - ISSUE AND SITE CONTEXT. Cause it would determine the rest of concept and design proposal. If we have a very clear, straight forward and precise defined issue and site context, the rest of design would go easily and smooth. But if we do not have that, we may need to take more time and make some detours to get the final proposal. Meanwhile, there is no such thing as a free lunch. Either way would take our efforts and attitude to get to the destination. Finally, be critical to this arrangement of subject, it is not quite convenient to us. As we all know, we do not even have a big space in the final presentation. That is quite embarrassing. The other one would be the schedule. Personally speaking, I would suggest that we could have a small pin-up for all students together every 2 weeks. So we could see what other people proposed and learn from each other instead of only group discussion. And the pin-ups also helped us to look at what we have done in the printed/physical perspective not just computer/digital or sketch things. That would help us to notice what we have proposed and how we communicate with people in terms of lines, colors, texts, diagrams and scales. In the end, it is a quite fascinating learning journey for me. Thanks for the help of inspiring me with different ideas and perspectives. I really appreciate it. Thanks Timothy Jachna and Peter Hasdell. 59
