Description

This thesis explores the use of building remnants to create new urban space in Hong Kong. The project address the issue of rising construction waste and demolition of public space. The investigation spans from the pragmatic study of building disassembly to revealing the social value inherited in significant architecture in Hong Kong. In search of an alternative to preserve architecture's contextual values, the design proposes an accumulation of discontinued architectures at the Star Ferry Carpark, the planned demolition next to City Hall. The collection of contexts are synthesized to generate new public space, enhancing the social and cultural competence of the city. The accumulation will continue to grow, emerging a new morphology for a sustainable city.
