School as Design Carnival, Travelling Around The World (2011) 3rd Place, Competition of Intergrated Design School for the Socially-aware education, Social Design Foundation COLLABORATE WITH Nam Wu & Kenton Lam Architects design space that we live. Under the undeliable fact of globalization, architects build out of their own countries. However, we all come from different countries with different backgrounds and experiences. Decisions in architectural design are deviated by our different values. It is a potentially dangerous move. Without clear understanding of the city itself and its citizens, those buildings may not be effective to the users or even give adverse effect to them. At this age, socially aware design education should be based on close contact with the users, with clear picture of the city fabric. A mobile school, travelling over the world,giving totally different insight to students from different backgrounds, initiating close interaction with the locals is our proposed tool for developing design student’s social awareness. 1 Scale of Travelling school

Timely Swap between Art & Park (2012) Competition of Alternative Car Park Tower in Hong Kong, AC-CA COLLABORATE WITH Nam Wu , Kenton Lam & Owen Lam
Pop up cells connected by Vertical Automatic Delivery System
Hong Kong victoria harbour view
Traditional carparks are marked as dark and unwelcomed. To reverse this condition, programme weaving of car parking space is our solution.
Our site in Central is next to one of the most busy street in Hong Kong, Connaught Road. Also, it is next to City Hall, one of the core cultural icon of Hong Kong. In connected to our site it is the central commercial destrict, connected to a convenient access to different public transportation including MTR, ferry and bus. The complexity of site context is addressing the potential of different city life during different times of a day. We are proposing an automatic car delivery system as a response to the need of quick access with high density. And we also benefit in having control of the location of occupied car slots, the system can flexibly rearrange the cars so as to provide extra space for any pop-up activities.

The concept of facade is to make a continous surface connecting three towers and to provide public screens serving city hall roof’s audience and the opposite site of the sea.

The top floor restuarant is equipped with a fixed kitchen with flexible seatings, the parking lots can be occupied as seatings when there are more people come to the restuarant. The pop-up studio space is a key component of the self suitainable maintanance of the building. By renting out the unused car lots, income generated could be used as the maintainace cost of the highly mechanical system of the car park tower.

Children reared in darkness the first few years of life may have permenantly impaired vision.
There is no fans in classroom and no natural ventilation. The temperature difference between outdoor and indoor stimulate the growth of bacteria, especially in hot and wet season.
