VICTORIA HARBOUR AS VISUAL FRONTAGE-differentiated character on each district-high visibility and accessibility-the Harbour as one large maritime space

the vision is to make the entire Victoria Hartbour and its neighbour-hood districts a holistic whole. With better water transport, more integration of city and harbourfront area and greater enhancement on place quality of the edge. It is opposite to the greenaries ap-proach where edge is monotonous and interconnected.

the research scopes start from the typical MTR-centered spine to the edge. It aims at proposing another attractive force at edge to diverge the city intensity at core and produce supplimentary cen-trality of the Harbour.

thus, when more inter-coastal connection are made as cleaner and ecologically transport, the harbour circulation along edge would be a large maritime space with loop of transports and speci c places of staying than a vacant backyard void.

INTEGRATED GREEN

INTERCONNECTED GREEN

?HARBOURFRONT AS INTEGRATIVE GREEN-water engagement-programmatic social space-walkable green network

The thesis critique to current approach of developing harbourfront, as a isolated promenade to interconnect different shore. However, with poor connectivity to the inland city and programmatic space, the resulting greeneries would be passive and monotonous to each district .

It propose an integrative green approach, to reinvestigate the possi-bility of re-intervering the exisiting city ow and greeneries, to form patches of sociable programme, as activating green which is differen-tiated from each district and region so as to bring forward the front of harbour rather than leisure backyard.

The larger the ship size, the higher the capacity of the ow of goods or passengers. It is a type without strong attachment to land. The water current pushes the overall ow. Naturally they are formed by geographical relief and is varied in condition in wind amptitude and water depth. Strong navigation control is needed for the large maritime space where there is no signi cant landmark or structure.

INTL PEOPLE CONNECTIONS

COASTAL SCENARIOS

The global business hub is typically set on coastal city. Tall structures are erected as visual exposure and advertises the corporate images of speci c investment company and shows pride to the important loca-tion. Elevated network of footbridges ef ciently bring people from the city metro to the sea. Piers to and from outleting islands are mostly communting point to corporate head for holidays except for business conference by the airport. The overall ground is vechicular dorminant, with different means of passenger transport. The highly air-conditioned towers and inward-looking shopping malls provides suf cient indoor space for people to enjoy seaview rather than engaged to the exposed ground of harbourfront area. Car park, bus stop and ferry piers are circulation nodes to the rest of the shores.

WORKING PEOPLE TRANSPORT

the local living hub is centered to the vechicular spine and neighbourhood scale street. Tall residential towers and block buildings are multiplying the viewing outward opportunities. Away from a lot to the harbourfront, piers forms the left and right wing of the square where bus stop or terminus are usually serving an open ground. There situated the nodes for citizen to wait and gather for social activities either locally or going to other shore. The 2 piers are important to the mostly residential district as a point of departure to go to Kowloon to work, especially in the 70s , when industrial buildings and second-ary production are common. The piers extend its programme where fresh food and convenience store are inserted. The harbourfront here is a daily harbourfront , with peak hours in the morning and in the afternoon.

INDUSTRIAL RAW MATERIAL LOGISTICS

the industrial town relies on heavily maritime transport in coastal cargo working area for depot of raw materials or re-proecessing materials. The fabric is de ned by a straight and wide way for vechicular transportation. Upon each buildings share little frontages of the whole spine and no sea view preference is made. The nearby-gas station also set near to water for water supply as coolent and other chemical processes. The no. of storey of the overall fabric is 7-8 without the installation of expensive lift. The factory cubicles are ventilated naturally by balcony and mechanical fans. Provision Car parking spaces at basement are rare due to maximization of economic value to build as quick as possible.

The intensive infrastructural network of highways serve the pur-pose of loading and unloading by 24/7 containers transport drivers. Nearby telcommunication tower, navigation control watchhouse and largest warehouses in the world are built for sup-porting the large cargo terminals. As cradles are mobile but heavy mechanical structures, they are mostly set invisible to the centre of the city and is located strategically at peripherals. The overall large pocket square of water actually aiming at wharf workshop and repairing and other starting off, drop by facilities. The containers are standardized in size and the overall layout are structure in grid xy system to maximize its ef ciency.

White ClonesThis project proposes a new White House that challenges the forms of hierarchy

and power represented by the current White House. The project highlights and

exaggerates the conditions of multiplicity and dispersal by placing replicas of

the White House along an expanding grid, diluting the power and centrality of the

original White House.

The projects extends the argument seen in the plan of Washington D.C. in which an equilibrium is maintained between

of the centers of power and, simultaneously, the dispersal of these centers. The multiple White Houses play the

grids off against the axes, blurring the distinctions between the homogeneous and the singular, the copy and the

original, the ordinary and the monumental, the new and the old.

The project removes the old White House from view by topographic manipulation.

The ground rises slowly and imperceptibly along the central axis of the original

White House, reaching its maximum height at roof level, effectively removing the

House from view, but not its flag! An intersection takes place at the nodes of the

grid between the sloping ground, the diagonal paths, and the clone.

There is an artistic twin in the district of To Kwa Wan, namely --

ture. Cattle Depot is the only artist village where artist can rent a studio there for their artistic creation, giving the place full of artistic value, but at the same time does not make sufficient profit and is lack of marketing. While for the interior strip, it is a successful business model that manages to create its own branding in the interior design industry in Hong Kong, but is lacking of artistic input for the moment. Our thesis is, how can

Table showing the overlapping of the images in photographic perceptual studies

The mapping of People-City Interaction starts with tracking of the dominant paths of different types of people under inves-tigation. From the observations on site, we mapped the loca-tions where we could most likely to find a particular group of people, at where they have their daily life. Say for example, we found a residential block in which many elderly live, a local tea house where elderly is the majority and a park which is mostly occupied by the aged. By linking the 3 places a typical daily life pattern for the group of “elderly” is mapped. It is not a path of any authentic particular elderly, but instead, because of the oc-cupation intensity of the dots linked it would be a “dominant

With similar method we map for each type of people 3 domi-nant paths and conduct a photographic study on their jour-ney, taking 3-5 photos for each journey, and study the existing qualities of their paths: 1) Skyline; 2) Speed; 3) Immediate Sec-tion (or space) & 4) Texture. Overlapping the photo analyses we have the graphical representations of the existing qualities of the 4 attributes for the paths. And in the further assignment of an urban design, these urban loci inform us the scale, enclo-sure, texture, openness and so on for our interventions when we deal with an area that is dominated with a particular group of people. For instance, the sky profile for the interior designer is long and narrow under the silhouette of the elevated highway, should we provide them with more open space and greenery in the future urban design proposal?

The resultant network pattern is a mental map for that type of people in the city. Their frequently visited places construct their impressions to the city

First of all the interior design strip is divided into 2 parts, at the both entrances of the city, which is favourable to the non-local visitors who usually go there with cars and match with its busi-ness mode. Also, the geographic location is closer to the Cat-tle Depot and make their interactions possible. For example, an open area at the south of Cattle Depot would be used as something like an open flea market where artist could sell their

From the study of market program distribution typology, we learnt about its ring-shaped program organization, in which primary program (dark brown) is at the centre, followed by a concentric ring of orange, then light orange and finally ringed by a blue ring of supplementary program. In the MLP this ring organization is enlarged, mainly by adding the blue program (food and beverage) at the edge and form the “eating street”for example, so as to allow capacity to insert more other programs
