MArch 1DESIGN STUDIOG4 li shiqiao t1Aviation MuseumG5 esther lorenz t2Links and HubsFlying is one of the most persistent human Hong Kong has established one of the mostimaginations. This MArch Studio explores the advanced and efficient transport networks in theidea of flying, both as an intellectual conception, world, which is currently undergoing a majorand as an aesthetic project, through a range of expansion, with the addition of several new lines32 investigations from Leonardo Da Vinci’s flying and stations. The aim of this studio is to reclaim33machines to Google Earth’s flight simulation.The aviation experience of humanity capturesa tremendous achievement, and gives usa powerful sense of overcoming distances,achieving “air superiority” in wars, and attainingsights through “bird’s eye view”.As Hong Kong relocated its airport from Kai Takto Chep Lak Kok, the vacant airport at Kai Tak hasnow been at the center of Hong Kong’s propertyand business speculation – proposals inevitablyinvolve high-end residential developments anda cruise terminal. Here we would like to takethis chance to imagine a place dedicated to thememory and exploration of flying, to humaninterests instead of to money.transport and its hubs from their purely functionalstigma and rediscover their quality as place ofencounter and spatial experience as well as theirgenerative potential as cultural stimulus within theexisting city fabric.The studio will be based on the notion ofmovement in cities as a fundamental form ofcultural production and exchange. On an urbanscale, students will be asked to conceptualize thenewly created linkages in regard to their culturalpotential, and on an architectural scale, proposedesigns, which offer architectural quality andat the same time activate potentials, which areembedded in the city fabric, the spatial practices,and the history of the places investigated.above: low flying airplane above height-restricted housings, kowloon city; below: travellator connecting central-hong kong station, centralELECTIVETransitional Spacearch 5301a esther lorenz t1Idea-based Architectural Designarch 5301b li shiqiao t2Cinematic Spacearch 5301c esther lorenz t2ACTIVITIESWorkshop by Jon Tarrydesign studio G4The course explores how the ephemeral sideof urban space can be captured and describedand how this observation can deliver conclusionsrevealing new significances and provoking reinterpretationsof the city. It introduces culturaltheory on movement in space and spaces oftransience, and develops composite mappingas a principal technique of investigation onsociocultural phenomena in urban space. Theoutcome of the studio will be based on boththeoretical formulation and mapped empiricaldata.What are design ideas? This course provides aplatform for reflection on design ideas, as well as forstudents’ assessment of their own design ideas beingtested out in studios. The course considers processbasedand idea-based design traditions, formulatesthree different levels of ideas: simple, critical, andreflexive, and examines techniques (techne) withoutwhich design ideas cannot exist. Students will reflecton their own studio design critically, aiming tostrengthen ideas and achieve better studio results.The aim of the course is to strengthen spaceperception, observation and discovery of issueswith audio-visual media as tool. It offers anintroduction to history and theory of film and tovideo in relation to space perception. Differentexamples of movies and experimental films willbe screened and discussed in regard to the waythey represent space and city. Students will learnbasic techniques of scripting, filming and editingand will produce their own short films.Jon Tarry is an artist who works with paint andsculptural constructions in three dimensionalforms associated with the spaces and forms of airtravel.

Over time, the city changes, the buildings In an increasing pace, governments, NGOs andurban connectivity and waterfront public spaces change. In this movement, buildings might be a new generation of social investors are adopting34are being subsidiary. In addressing the artistic kept accidentally or on purpose, and again over ‘Philanthrocapitalism’ to reshape the way theygoals, there are uncertainties of whether the time, individual buildings may carry different 'give' for the betterment of the environment.programs within the cultural facilities are meetinglargely unaltered for many generations.35specific needs or public spaces are fulfilling publicexpectations. As the complexity of arrivingconsents in the architectural design and culturalplanning includes a multitude of considerationsfrom understanding to interpretation, the studio isaiming at exploring architectural and urban designalternatives via a thorough investigation fromoperation to transformation of the contemporarypublic cultural spaces within the existing culturaldistrict in Tsim Sha Tsui to arrive at both practicaland imaginative public cultural spaces for HongKong.ELECTIVEPainting toward Architecture Part IIarch 5201b gu daqing t2The course investigates the method of spaceorganization in both painting and architecture.Instead of restricting knowledge to doctrine ofModern Architecture, the course take a fresh lookwith intention of establishing a body of knowledgeconcerning issues as listed: fundamentals of spaceconcept, spatial organization in architecture,operation and perception, realization of spaceconcept, materiality, and construction.G6 ho puay-peng t2Designing with Historic Buildingsmeanings, or layers of meanings. This studiorequires critical interpretation of historic buildingsand approaches to design new buildings alongsidethese historic structures. There are thousands ofgood examples of such approach around theworld, the best of the historic interventions andinsertions are those who respect, re-interpret thehistoric buildings and created new additions tocomplement, contrast and suggest new spatialityand historicity. The site selected for the studiowould allow different scopes for interpretations.The studio therefore builds on the premise thatintervention within and around historic buildingscan be the locomotive for cultural and socialregeneration and creationIntroduction to ArchitecturalConservationarch 5801 ho puay-peng t1The preservation of architectural heritage indicatesthe importance that a culture places on its past.There are recent trends in the developed world topreserve historical monuments and districts, tangibleand intangible heritage. This course introduces basicconcepts and practices in conservation, serving asfoundation for further development of interest andexpertise in conservation. This course is desirablefor students taking design studio arch 5120f.G7 marisa yiu t2Glass Commune: Spaces of Charity andCultural ProductionThis research and design studio will examine theintersections of ‘Architecture and The Social’, byunderstanding contemporary strategies in theformulation of spaces of Charity.We will first study communities that have playeda key role in determining new networks ofCharity, then the studio will examine historicand new values of the material and sustainabilityresearch of the notion of 'Glass'. The final projectwill culminate in a design of a façade prototypefor a 'Glass Commune', that combines hybridprograms to accentuate the research of 'giving'into formal and spatial strategies. The design ofthe building will allow the 'giver' and 'receiver' toexchange, and experiment with new socialrelations and an emerging aesthetic of space andexperience.G8 christine hawley t2Within the next 50 years our way of living willchange in ways that are now unimaginable….or are they? Utopia and dystopia had both beenspeculated. How would you picture the future andan alternative to a housing model that has remainedThe programme asks students to design a ‘house’that must address the logistics of everyday living butthe space(s) will be nuanced by the owner’s preoccupationsand dreams. This is a dwelling thataddresses both the mundane and the extraordinaryand will act as a springboard for the more strategicagenda. The issue of land availability and spacewill be central to the strategic development ofthe programme which will look at designing forthe communities of the future. Hong Kong hasdeveloped housing typologies that are a productof uniquely high densities and economic return.Both the restriction on space and its usage nowbegin to question the existing models and theirappropriateness for the future. Creating a balancebetween the practical and the poetic, the real andthe unreal this project should push the boundariesof all possibilities.
