BACKGROUND INFORMATION AN ARCHITECTURE CENTER CONNECTING COMMUNITY BETWEEN OLD AND NEW The bridge street market has a monumental value historically although it is not very old which is built in 1953. The place where Dr. Sun Yat-Sen baptised into Christianity in 1883. However, it is being idle nowadays.

Therefore. this renewable project is to reuse and transfom it to a architecture center, in order to increase the recognition of this building and to creat interaction between the local architecture and the general public.

IMPROVE INDOOR AIR QUALITY Toxic chemicals in indoor Air

Many synthetic materials emit harmful gases and chemicals into the air and result “Sick Building Syndrome .” Plants not only remove carbon dioxide from the air and add oxygen (O2). Some even filter harmful fumes out of the air

Some common indoor pollutants: Formaldehyde CH2O- irritate the eyes and skin, Benzene C6H6 - lead to allergic reactions, and

STACK VENTILATION

The atrium where the tree located act as a “thermal chimney” to promotes natural ventilation. The hot air rises to the operable louvers glass block at the roof and then exhaust extra heat.

Cool exterior air is introduced from windows in 1/F and 2/F and so as to maintain good ventilation.

As the sun is located at the back of the building, a raised glass block is designed to capture most of the sun light .

Also,shading patterns are designed to prevent over shining.

For example, research published by the National Research Council of Canada found that an extensive green roof

reduced the daily energy demand for air conditioning in the summer by over 75% (Liu

A green roof protects the waterproofing from climate extremes, UV exposure and mechanical damage. This greatly increases the life expectancy of the waterproofing and results in reduced

maintenance and replacement costs Reduces Energy Costs

The great insulation offered by green roofs can reduce the

amount of energy needed to moderate the temperature of a building, as roofs are the sight of the greatest heat loss in the

winter and the hottest temperatures in the summer.

SOCIAL ASPECT PROMOTING ENVIONMENTAL PROTECTION The ''indoor tree'' is not only a sustainable design , but also serves as a installation art to catch attaintion of the passerby and

increase the awareness of people that the importances of enviornmental protection.

The exhibition center act as the main functional zone of this project. It aims to to enhances the art development of Hong Kong , creating interaction between the local architecture and the general public and provide more opportunities to local artists to gain more exposure to the public.

PROVIDING MORE GREENARY PUBLIC SPACE TO THE SOCIETY

In Hong Kong, most of the urban district is lack of greenery public space for the general eneral public to take a rest. In resolution, the open space such as roof top and the south sunken area are designed to a garden in order to provide more greenary

space.

REFLECTIVE JOURNAL I think my performance in the problem cases is acceptable by myself. It is because I have try my best in contributing to my group. As my analyzing skills is not very good, so in environmental and technical problem, I take over the work in cover design, layout design and typesetting at the last stage. And I think I am responsible in my group.

I have improved the typesetting skills during the problem. As most of the produced layouts are done by me, I make good practice on the communication software like AI, Photoshop and InDesign...Etc. The graphical skills are improved every time I practice doing layout.

I posed a co-operational attitude towards the problem case. I could always help team mates to dual with different problems. I also helped them in correcting and managing the information gathered so that the product of the problem would be presented better with a proper and clean manner.

In problem cases, I can have many research on the different topics of foreign countries which helped a lot. It is because I did not have many chance to be exposed to many cases. By tackling the sustainable problem cases, I was able to read many technical drawings on sustainable design features.

By studying the design strategies in residential building, I learn how to floor plan and structural design from different example. This really help me in design my building.

For example, Next 21 impress me a lot in flexible structural design by using column and beams only. Also, my ‘’T-shape’’ design is take reference from the typical building shapes.

In my opinion, the lectures of teaching modular design, structure of mid-rise building and pumping and drainage really help a lot to me in doing problem. Since the concept of modular design is very board. So with the information from lecture, it is easier for me to get start.

Also, one seminar from Dr. Jeff in designing private and public space facilitate me the method to diving private and public space.

I think one of my strengths is the good communication skills in graphic. I can modify some of the existing drawings such as floor plan by adding some symbols and marks to express some of the information.

For my weaknesses, I always feel frustrated at the first stage of work, I really care about if the information I have searched is correct or not and hesitate to start the work. For example, in technical problem case, I do not very understand the meaning of modular design, so I have to search a lot of books and website to get the full understanding. So it takes a lot of time before I start to do my works.

At last, for the areas to improve, I think I should be equip more knowledge of technical aspects. I think they are very difficult to understanding
