Description

With a focus on materiality and the reuse of abandoned structures, this project is heavily geared toward creating a handbook of suggested material reuse options through which residents of the Pak Kok village can refer to in order to revitalise the structures within their areas. With the in depth study of the structures and materials which exist in the village, this hand book uses both the existing materials as well as decayed materials from the old buildings in order to provide a sustainable, achievable and affordable method of construction. The purpose of this project is derived from 1. The need to maintain the character and aesthetic of the village as to maintain its essence and 2. To create a realistic approach to how the village can revitalise itself without introducing expensive new materials that distract from the rich history and aesthetic of the area
