1 CULTURAL CENTER Pottinger Street,Central

he design started with the word “assembly”. “Assembly” is about how people group together and interact with

each other. It refers also a machine which is combined with many different parts and components. The design of this Cultural Center resembles a big machine which consists of many cultural components. They are all grouped together and work together as a complex.The center is not only a budding place for art events and cultural activities, but it is also a place for speculation, combining looking, reflecting and understanding. It is a fluid extension of the public area. People can gather here, participate and involve in the events and activities. It is also an important place of assembly and social interaction in the community.

3 Symbiosis Future Workspace Swimsuit Production on Barge Repulse Bay

Concept Symbiosis is a relationship that two different species living together and react to each other. Swimsuit is like a second skin "grow"on body.The relationship between the swimsuit and the body is descipted as symbiotic relationship.It also refers to the relationship between customers and producers.How the design react to the environment, users and become part of it.The form is associated with the streamline of human body,meanwhile the landscape.

digital custom made When technology develops, it can be applied in many aspects of our daily life, so as fashion production.As we think swimsuit is necessary to fit well, therefore digital custom made can be applied in future fashion. Custom made become easy when 3D scan is applied to meassure the human body.Laser cut applied to cut the frabic with complicated shape.Even 3D print is applied to "print" the garment.What if you can try the swimsuit in the water before you buy it? We have a new definition of making and shopping.

Testing Model How to create a form?

so yuen wa

Testing models develop from horizontal layering to vertical layering.Finally,we choose the vertical layering as it allows more height room and flexibility.The different diagonal arrangement of curves create a fludic form.

Bodyscape Body-landscape Bodyscape is the key word of the concept of this project.The form is associated with the streamline of body, meanwhile the undulate landscape.

ong Kong film industry once a prospect industry, and it has been declining recent years. People are

not willing to watch Hong Kong film in cinema rather than the Hollywood Board buster. In â&#x20AC;&#x153;Moving Cinematographâ&#x20AC;?, containers are used as a media for exhibiting and screening the Hong Kong film in different districts of Hong Kong through the travelling of the containers. Using public housing estates as the starting point of a tour, It exhibits the different genres of movies from 60s to nowadays and different filmmakers .Besides,It is a venue for local old movies and independent movies screening ,discussion and film festivals.By means of the events held in the community, it enhances the social participation and interaction between the people.

am Shan Estate ( 南山邨 ) is a public housing estate in Shek Kip Mei, Hong Kong, located near Tai Hang Tung Estate, Tai Hang Sai Estate, Yau Yat Tsuen and City University of Hong Kong. The estate is located at Shek Kip Mei and was formerly called "Kowloon Tsai". It comprises 8 residential blocks built in 1977. The apartments are self-contained units with private kitchen and toilet facilities. Nam Shan Estate is located at the former squatter area of Shek Kip Mei. The estate was built for the rehousing of residents affected by the redevelopment of the Tai Hang Tung estate after the fire at the squatter area of the old Tai Hang Tung estate.Its construction began in 1975 and started intake in 1977. Its surrounded design with a long balcony expose to the central court,which is a suitable site for my design.

The Hong Kong Urban Cityscape is captured in most of the Hong Kongâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s film which is my inspiration of the design. The high density, hybridity, disorder and glamor are the essence which exists in this small city. From the high-rised building in Central, the terrace House in old urban district, the millions of billboards in Mong Kok,the hawker stalls in Temple street etc. are the inspiration.

The first project I did is the window display project for Hermes Autumn 2014 China which is different from the interior or space design I have done in school. And this aspect of design is I have never studied and learnt before. “We need to merge the products into a story and then present the most significant moment of the story” the director Lam Wai Ming said. A window display should be direct so yuen wa

and and full of impact- an instant line between brand and customer. Unlike an interior, which can be discovered only once you’re within its walls, shop’s windows are a brand’s connection with the outside world.

Trying errors I am responsible for designing the furniture (hanger) for the window display. I keep improving the curves, length and proportion of the legs and arms. I used to design turns out to be three to four solutions whenever I think the idea is good enough. However, it never be good enough until I try and compare many varieties, even a very subtle details. I found that designers should not be afraid of silly ideas, lose the inertia and stop worrying about being wrong. It limits the varieties of thinking and possibilities. In the process of design, it is not a task only finding one right solution but try the error until the right solution come out.
