School as Design Carnival, Travelling Around The World (2011)3rd Place, Competition of Intergrated Design School for the Socially-aware education, Social Design FoundationCOLLABORATE 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 dif-ferent insight to students from different backgrounds, initiating close interaction with the locals is our proposed tool for developing design student’s social awareness.

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

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.

Hong Kong victoria harbour view

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 suitain-able 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.

The concept of facade is to make

a continous surface connecting three

towers and to pro-vide public screens

serving city hall roof’s audience and

the opposite site of the sea.

Good architecture brings happiness.

We believe all people should have the equal opportunity to enjoy, partake in and have access to the design of architecture and environment.

IDEA Project is a NGO in Hong Kong aiming at exploring solution towards sustain-able design and community participation. We would like to set up a good exam-ple of sustainable architectural design and particiaption. We aimed to improve the livelihood of the villagers in remote areas, and empower the underpriviledged and the poor in the developing world with design opportunity.

Lighting

Children reared in darkness the first few years of life may have perme-nantly impaired vision.

Ventilation

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.

The school came out in four days. Before we arrived Cambodia we issued the main

structural drawings to the local contractors.

After our arrival, we have different workshops with children every morning. The volunteer team spreaded in teams to work at the afternoon, have workshops

with teachers and visit local families.The workshop include both brain-storming sketch drawing and craft making. Our design team look into the sketches

at night to get ideas from what the children think ok : “My Dream School”

Pret A Diner Berlin 2012 (2011 - onwards)Pop up Restaurant design for Pret A Diner 2012, Berlin, GermanyNOVONO

The project is to design and build a pop up restaurant in an old building in the city centre of Berlin. The Pret A Diner restau-rant travelled around the world and stayed three months in every city. The construction time is one week.

The design concept of Pret A Diner Berlin was inspired by the architectural feature of the building. There are lots cage-liked window frames in the building, with the very limited lighting supply of the building the site looks like a prision.

The design play with the escape from the cage. Flying birds and spots of light are the main ele-ments to play with.
