Description

The Habits In-Between describes a scenario connecting people to the traces of others’ domestic habits. The project imagines an exaggerated progression of layered development in Kat Hing Wai, where residents build in layers upon traditional houses with layers of the past left below. In this imagined scenario, villagers in Kat Hing Wai defy building restrictions to build a layered super-development based on the borrowed designs of residential projects from around the world. In response, the Government demands a “Museum of Habits In-Between,” to be cut through the layered housing and flats. The result is an exhibition of habit and domesticity, where the traces of habitual use, demonstrated using semi-animated floor plans, are on display between public and private.
