Between the Community
HKIA Cross-Strait Architectural Design Symposium &Awards 2017
Student Category: Bronze Award
1993 - 2002, Hai'an Road widening project has divided the community into two streets, the disorder and long term urban development, resulting in a serious fracture of the local urban texture. In this case I create a symbiotic space, to sew the gap in between people, ,and the symbiotic relationship of city.
The exsisting local community center is a monumental body, which has long been lost as a community intersection platform for residents. In contrast, the entrance between the local roadway, stores outside the arcade, the temple next to the square and other informal semi-outdoor occasions, but residents prone to intersection activities of the place.
Suppose the essence of the building type "community center" is a " symbiotic living style" . It should freely adapt both formal and informal community activities. By the tracing of local alleys , I try to represent street house -like configuration in my project. The architecture will no longer be managed as a monumental volume, but like a three-dimensional -like alleys , naturally infiltrating into local community behavior .
