01 Housing
In reaction to rapid development, there are some deficit of quality space in Tin Shui Wai. This project is aimed to use the concept of interwove streets to extend space and locate pub-lic programs in order to appear local residents to engage into outdoor activities for their better health and living conditions. The project promotes diverse streetscapes on the ground lev-el and connecting vertical streets in the tower to encourage active interactions among residents.

Site Plan
Located on Tin Shui Wai New Town. the urban fabric of this site is composed with both traditional and modern elements, including village housing and high-rise public housing. The physical network and social connection of these two living system are analyzed by routes tracing, program locat-ing and alternative means researching. Mapping and analytical draw-ings are carried in different scale: district, neighborhood and community.

URBAN STRATEGIES: Potential street patterns are proposed through the analysis of wind force dur-ing time, which influnces the location of core programs and relatively dynamic area, and the investigation of social factors. Streetscape and hierarchy of circulationn are served as main driven force of further design.

Layers of overlapped streetscape start connecting main roads on the ground, and extending to more private space on high-er level. Then it leads to residential tower, where residents havemulti-sided spatial experiences, from communal space with open views and public activites to private personal life.
Programming Strategy is based on the dimension and function of different streetscape, from broadest main roads, to second-ary streets, alleys, and vertical streets within residential tower.

With 0.6-meter height difference, there arE five double-height units with terraces cir-cled around at each floor linked by plat-forms and ramps. Each type of units is tar-geted at specific residentS. The deviation of facades of each unit allows them being visually related to the units above and be-neath it, presenting a consistent twisting form.
There are three-metere height communal decks at the top of one of the five units at each floor. At lower level, communal decks are functioned as public service, such as day-care center, and gym; at higher level, they become more private space shared by adja-cet residents as their social activities places.

Without any site context, this project is aimed to use its own quality to provide a good living condition for families. By tak-ing the Immeubles Villa as a precedent, the peoject follows the design concepts of introducing individual garden into res-idential apartments and creating double height open space for natural light and ventilation penetration. The spirally twis-ing space through the entire tower is also providing smaller open terraces at various level to obscure the inside-outside boundary of each unit.

CASE STUDY I
CASE STUDY II
IMMEUBLES VILLA:
KANCHANJUNGA APTS:
1920s, Le corbusier was propos-ing an effective way to design house due to intensinesly grow-ing population, which is about large blocks of cell-like individ-ual apartments stacked one on top of other, introducing indi-vidual garden terrace into each units. The plan is organized in an L-shape around an enclosed gar-den, creating interlocking space with other functioning area.
Located in Mumbai, the 32 luxury apart-ments are located south-west of down-town in an upscale suburban. At each level, there are interlock of four different apart-ment typologies varying from 3 to 6 bed-rooms each. This type of arrangement had its precedent in the cross-over units of Le Corbusiers Unite d’Habitation built in Mar-seilles in 1952, although here in Mumbai the sectional provision was achieved with-out resorting to the extreme of differenti-ating between up-and-down going units.

TRANSFORMED PLANS: The concept started from the idea of growth: settled on a square-shaped base, then grew into different forms by pulling in and pusing out egds in order to develop a series of organic out-line for each “plate”. By altering the aplitude, orientaion and frequency of the outlines, each subtle shift allows its floor plan to have specific open space as terrace or garden; and narrower space as service area, like stroage or restroom.
TWISTING FORMS:The corresponding relation between transforming plans to the central core provides possible means of interlocking system on both two-dimension-al and three-dimensional level. Internally, solid space, also functioned as occupied space, is shift-ing level by level and interlocking with void space, which can be regared as private open. Externally, the visual effect of gradually varied floor plates in-tegrally display a vertical rhythm of a twisting form.

This project is aimed to mix one core program realated to wa-terfront and one public program into a building of total area 2000m2. With emphasis on site strategy, this project is highly connected with existing neighborhood, infrastructure fabric and topography. And the entire project is treated as a flow-ing space that allows people continuously going throught the whole space following the cycling tracks, which also link other small programs inside the building.

SITE ANALYSIS There are wo extreme conditions of the centre and the periphery that coexisting in Yao Tong. In the espcial aspect of building typologies, the industry blocks dominated this area and the transformation of their in-terior functions can be seen as references of evolution of Hong Kong’s contemporary typologies.
This analysis investigated spatial needs of each program. Specific spa-tial sequence is established in terms of different audiences, including programs, interior and exterior space, private and public space, and site views etc. The spatial sequence of the site indicates various daily life tracks and circulation at different spots. The connection between these places represents a certain type of spatial sequence at site.

4. Offices and storages are set in a more seduced space for a privacy purpose in order to obatin a better working environment.5. Public space on the ground is a connecting space between cycling tracks and ferry terminal, which can be used as test tracking for bike sale stores.
As the location of the pier is intersection of ways from industrial and resi-dential area, it associates with cycling tracks and ferry terminal. Therefore, the main circulation of the project wil demonstrate the interrlation be-tween internal programs in the terminal and the external condition of the pier at Lei Yu Mun.

PROGRAM DISTRIBUTIONAs the intersection space between industrial and residential area, right next to typhoon shelter and the ferry, the pier can take advan-tage of the multi-connnection with land and water. The main circulation will facilitate the relation between internal programs and ex-ternal situation. Infrastructure programs are placed along ramps, as both transitional and functional space. It will spread programs from the two ends of the pier, and also flow people along the ramps with specific location of programs.

This project documents and researches the urban condition of Xu hui in Shanghai targeted in groups of elderlies in five urban scales: room, block, district, neighborhood and metropolis. Due to the difficulties elderly encouter, the narrow inhabita-tion space and limited active space result in their montunous late life. This project is amied to provide them a favourable, convenient life by rearranging housing typologies, specifying use of various space and creating a clear spatical network for their daily activities.

CURRENT LIVING SITUATION: Experiencing a rapid population growth, China, has an aging population under the one child policy, moreover, more than 30% of the population in China is expected to be age 60 or older in 2050.
Shanghai, the largest city by population in China, is in a critical situation to solve its demographic issue. The city now has 3.31 million retirees, making up 24% of the population.
As this project documents and researches the urban condition of a site in Shanghai, the research are focused on a one main theme: culture, which means the inhabitation of the city.
Jia Shan road, located in the Xuhui district, is located in the geographical centre of the attractive and green district of Xuhui, with a high level of residential program.

URBAN STRATEGIES: One of difficulites elderly encouter is about narrow inhabitation space and limited active space, which resulted in their montonous “Two first-line “ late-life. Everyday experiencing is constrained in a range of home, markets and sometimes the public space between in the Lilong for just chatting with friends. In district and neighborhood scale, disorganized layouts and incoherent circulation are two main causes of this current situation.Further study will be aimed to provide elderly with a favourable, convinient life by rearranging housing typology, specificing fuction of space and creating an easier-accessed network for them.

In every special site, spacial effects and critical issuses work together to shape the condition of the site. How do the block private space related to public space and how people enter and circulate within them become the most siginificant considerations due to Xuhui’s high density of population and space.
Connection to and influence from other parts of districts are the key issues that this project will deal with at a massing level.

Wood mold for concrete 1:40
This project is started from material exploration, then com-bining with human movement to tranlslate object into oc-cupying space. The concept of ladder house is coming from the transfoming process between service space to circulation space. So it creates multiple layers of space with multi-func-tion that people can utilize, and maximize the efficency of the house.

MATERIAL EXPLORATION: The translation process from a selected verb, splash, to an action is carried by manipulating and casting concrete models. By making both positive and negative models, it clarifies the spatial relationship between solid and void space: concrete and its mold.
SPLASH:a. a cause a liquid to spatter about, especiall with forces;b. strike and dash about ina liquid.
ACTION:a. a reaction between original space with extrinsic stimulant;b. an interaction between solid and void space.

OBJECT TO SPACE OCCUPATION
With adaption of human scale into space, and adjust-ment space with body movement, casted concrete block is translated into a scaled inhabitation. Continuous void space is regarded as circulation, which detached solid and void space are taken as structures and occupupation.

OVERVIEWThe main feature of buildings in these three sub-villages isclose connection to their context, both natural and cultural.
INSIDE-OUT Hierarchical Differ-ence Between Roof and Ground.
SITE CONTEXT Natural Frames constructed by ele-ments of houses.
HOUSING Function relative-ly narrow spaces within and between houses.
Analysis was focused on the relationship between local build-ings and context, functions, and be-tween private and public spaces.
Xianniangxi, Yangwei and Changying sub-villag-es are located at traditional Chinese countryside. Through a field trip, analysis are concentrated on the relationship between local buildings and their context, and their functions, the relationship be-tween private and public spaces, human circula-tion and space arrangement, as well as the exterior and interior.

STRUCTURAL MODEL: Process mod-el 1&2 are transitional processes from object to house in accordance with its site context, con-struction materials and human living patterns.
Combination of mass and skeleton structures demonstrates the action and reaction relationship between spaces under and above ground, which is modified by human movement. Wood pieces in-dicates human circulations accesses from under-ground towards spaces above the house.

The project demenstrates the transitional design process from body movement towards occupying shelter. As a tree growing on a tall slope of the site of Ladder street, it forms a interesting dent that shapes the shelter. As body attempts to enter and to interact with the site and the tree, it twists and rotates in or-der to accomodate the dynamic and narrow width. Studies of body movement reveal the body’s position in respect to the tangible boudaries of the site. The final resulting structure is a pronounced memory, the culmination of the twists indicative of the body’s dangerous encounter with the site.
