Introduction: A little about our Studio Position

Architecture has the ability to transform lives, transform places and transform ideas into
positive environments for individuals, communities and enterprises.

Places and systems shape- and are impacted by- fluid architectural dialogues.

Architecture is sensations lived: that we experience architecture through embodied cognition:

through emotion, through atmosphere and presence.

We infuse our students with these same ideas, convictions, and aspirations.

We utilise out students, teaching, and research to discuss the relationship between urban and
rural spaces in the post-industrial context of Hong Kong.

This ongoing dialogue is facilitated each year by focusing our collective work on exploring
issues of community, identity, and production in both urban and rural places.

We bring these beliefs to our students. To bring a Regional/ Metropolitan perspective into a
dialogue for the city. A dialogue facilitated by focusing on two key areas as ‘contexts or
PLACES for creation:

PLACE

In PLACE1 we focus on how we can transform otherwise disparate and splintered locations
into thriving and mixed use communities whether in outlying rural or coastal areas or tight
urban spaces in the heart of post-industrial cities. The goal is to develop the student’s
understanding of how Regions are defined and transformed, while also understanding how the
various fields of inquiry within a region can be unpacked to engage with an authentic and
appropriate regional architecture.

In PLACE2 we focus on Collaborations and Craft and how, through combining a mixture of
collaborative practices in the creative industries & technologies with the more traditional forms
of craft within the region, students can instigate a new regional architecture with a strong
sense of place. At once rooted in the human condition while successfully navigating the
pressures and opportunities of contemporary urbanity.

PEOPLE

We unpack these Places for students by tailoring their learning journey as a clear progression
of projects that develop their skills and capacity in transforming ideas into architecture. The
architectural degree programme has been designed to facilitate the student’s progress through
projects of increasing complexity: from exploring the architectural ‘Self’, to understanding the
relationships of architecture to ‘Others’, and finally to explore the notion of architecture as the
supporting framework for complex ‘Communities and Cultures’.

Yr3 - (re)New COMMUNITY

Third year then, is where we challenge our understanding of COMMUNITY, in relation to a

regions PLACE and its SYSTEM of Developing Fluid dialogues in Architecture:

COMMUNITY – PLACE – SYSTEM and Networks

the Journey into Extreme INTERIORS SUPERUS

Your task is to journey into Extreme Interiors and arrive at a serious, considered and

range of skills in the production of architectural artefacts.
Utilising ethnographic methodologies you will engage in a vertical project at the
beginning to uncover a communities and reimagine architectural solutions.

DESCRIPTION
Extreme Interiors is the theme of our first Design Studio in
Autumn 2024. It will centre on the urban life material conditions
of Cheung Chau. The project will consist of delving into sensory
realms that manifest fun in kaleidoscopic ways yet unexplored.
These unchartered worlds involve particular modes of
production (social, cultural, economic, environmental,
technological) that have received little attention by design.

The aim of the Extreme Interiors Design Studio is to design an

architectural prototype that brings forth an aesthetic synthesis
of the relationships between inner and interior spaces
conducive to the production of fun. Students will tap into
unknown dimensional fields. These experimental spaces
usually remain overlooked, whether in the accounts of the
designer’s body experience or in the details that inform the
design process.

The Abductive Design Strategy Approach

Abductive: involves constructing theory and architecture that is grounded in everyday activities and
or the language and meanings of social actors from an interpretive constructivist perspective.

ELEMENTS
1. Superus Tracing.
2. Superus Masking.
3. Superus Projecting.
4. Superus Publishing.

P1 The Purpose:

SUPER SENSES TRAINING: SUPERUS

Extreme Interiors will be

a ‘super-senses training’.
Students will engage a deeply
conscientious exercise of seeing-
sensing differently through and
through. To accomplish the aim of
the Design Studio, students will
group in teams of two or three.

Each team will address an

architectural analysis of an interior,
or a series of small interiors,
through a particular perceptual
framework.

Each super- senses training-

framework will guide and inform the
design process of each team’s
project.

P2 Introduction. The Brief

You will be challenged to creatively and divergently design a mixed use

Temple of Antitheses, which examines sensory and social condition of the
Hong Kong Seaside resort. Simply put:

• A Place for Solitude.

• A Place for sharing.
• A Place for gathering.
• A place for Feeling.

The first architectural design project of the year will be conducted over the remainder of
Semester 1 and constitutes P2 within your timetable. The project builds upon the work IMPORTANT you will

skills and methodologies developed during this project to conduct site analysis and be marked on quality

We will move from an examination of the artificial extreme interior to the artificial
atmospheres and

manipulated to create a manufactured condition of fun.
Mediocre Spaces
For P2 we will re-consider this landscape as the location for a Temple of Antitheses, a
place of non-religious ceremony, sanctuary and memory that the transient and settled
communities of Stanley can utilise as a place of respite and sensory renewal from the
extreme interiors examined in P1. A place to gather, a place to share and a place to be
alone with oneself.

It will be an architectural response that manipulates, form, volume, aperture and

materiality in order to enhance and manipulate light, sound, touch, smell, colour, taste,
time, space and movement.

Core Themes

• How do you utilise sensory materials as a generator for new

architecture?
• How do you use architecture and design to register and utilise the
natural conditions of place to create sensory experiences?
• The interface between the natural and the made, the tamed and
the untamed.
• The landmark and the landscape - how can the design of
associated landscapes and public space enhance people’s
engagement and understanding of architecture?

P2 Broader Context: A place of Senses

Born out of an observation that people increasingly depart from

traditional forms of organised religion and in doing so they limit the
opportunity to engage in experiences of memory, ceremony and
sanctuary in pursuit of their own spirituality. This project provides the
opportunity for to explore a theme of non-religious spirituality manifest
through physical form. All people, regardless of faith, require an outlet
for peace, reflection, thought, discussion and support. This project seeks
to explore the physical possibilities of such a space in a manner that
provides for both the individual and the wider collective.

This brief and the subsequent tutorial sessions will present a method,
programme of spaces, design development framework and precedent
that will inspire you to appropriately and creatively manifest and
architecture that needs of this very particular kind of space. The brief
allows space for the thoughts, suggestions and creativity of students to
interpret the brief by suggesting the types of activity and experience that
will bring people together in ways that enrich body, mind and soul.

Your final design will be a black object / totem placed upon your site that
internalizes your critical exploration of Antitheses. Its context will be
internalized allowing it to exist in abstraction upon your chosen site.

You will however have to critically respond to the scale of your chosen
site. Your final design will (somehow) be (critically) situated upon the
space of your original experience of sustenance. So please consider how
you wish to respond to scale when you explore your site and produce
your abstract site.

(SITE) Free Play

Duration 3 week

Aim

To Re- Value-ize the Site Landscape into ‘Immutable and Mutable Mobiles’.
You can research immutable mobile if you do not know what these are to build
on the Work of Richard Galpin and His Techniques.

Method
1. Take your Photographs of the Site (1 of the Space, 1 of the site plan, and 1 of ‘sustenance’)
edit which ones you will choose as final images.
2. Download a map of your chosen site and at an appropriate scale (1.200 / 1.500).
3. Digitally refine the map to maintain line qualities and weights when printing.
4. Print them onto (a3) acetate and produce a draft layout of the drawing overlaying the
images and decide which configuration will offer the best results.
5. Print out the same three images on acetate paper to allow images to be overlaid.
6. Experiment with these solid and transparent images to explore a hybrid composition of
the 3 site elements.
7. Use creative techniques – collage, montage, decoupage, etc – to overlap and intersect the
three images to create a single composite that reflects your experience of the site,
sustenance, and mapping scale.
8. Document this process by collecting the ‘leftover’ and lost pieces of the images – showing
‘the trace of the process’.
9. This composition process should be achieved first in draft using the print out. This image
could then be scanned into photoshop, or the same overlap and intersect process could be
re-done and refined digitally in photoshop.
10. Whether using either ‘hand and scan’ or digital technique, the final composition should
integrate all three elements of your abstract site.
11. Take them into Photoshop and create a Photoshop File 1189mm x 2376mm x 300 dpi.
12. Now print out at the Local Printer Facilities on the HIGH GLOSS PAPER on the heaviest
weight (circ 180gsm +) as a banner (it is important that this has a satin/gloss finish to it so
you can work into the drawing) the Cost should be around HKD300.
13. Buy a pack of 10A scalpel blades and a non-surgical flat metal Handle (preferably the long
handle version) together with a metal rule.
14. Now at your desk with Cutting Mats continue to work into the drawing by scouring the
surface of the print with the scalpel blade and Rule and carefully lifting off the top printed
surface of the paper.
15. This will leave a white finish working into the drawing and constructing new geometries
you should begin to achieve an image similar to Richard Galpin.
16. The intention is to produce an exhibition quality piece of work that creates a new context
to which your Architectural Interventions will respond to the site, the concept of
sustenance, and the wider relationships that sustain us.
17. The final image can be ambiguous. It is an abstraction. But it should reflect a critical
process of you exploring the site and the idea of sustenance using a series of creative
techniques.

P3 Element 1
Aim

Produce a Strategic re-design of a live project that includes passive and active
design solutions to improve the sustainability of design solutions

Task /Objective

The submission guide below is an ambition for producing a range of

information that will successfully describe you design and your design
process at the final review. The most important piece on this list is a
final 1:200 model. Even if this was the only thing you presented on
Friday it would still be able to describe multiple aspects of your
project. The other really critical aspect of this project that you should
be thinking about for the final review is how do you communicate
how your design has responded to the core themes of Sensory and
Sacred. Your presentation should communicate to us what is Sacred
and how your design activates the senses in pursuit of a sacred
experience.

Method
• Drawing, sketch, collage that describes ‘What is Sacred?’
• 3 Conceptual collage that describe sacred, sensory and experiential
intentions.
• 1:500 massing models.
• 1:200 development models + final model at 1:200.
• Material and structural intent – present the proposed materiality
and texture – explain how structure is used as an element of design.
• 1:1250 location plan.
• 1:500 landscape plan and roof plan.
• 1:200 or 1:100 floor plans.
• 1:200 or 1:100 sections (2 of).
• Either a sectional axonometric or sectional perspective.
• Birdseye view of your project on the site.
• Internal view of gathering, shared and solitude spaces.
• 1:20 axonometric of your entrance indicating internal and external
material condition.
• 1:50 spatial model of either the gathering, shared or solitude space.

MINIMUM SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS
