• Heartspace structure interpret through fishing village evolves as the hierarchy and interactive space in the middle of the building.

Popis projektu

Building Community
The design blend into nature by creating different intensity of figure ground through various permeable and solid with void elements. It explore ecological design with a vision of interacting human and the existing ecological landscape together.

For people, by people
This eco-learning market center is designed to be fragmented with open space at the middle which acts as a datum reference to other building blocks.The circular form ensured a sense of storytelling to community which then set the stage for the local community through idea sharing and interaction.

Listen to the Land
The design respond to the land in a restorative manner, feeding and healing the land. It provide various size of extensive outdoor space such as recreational park and accessible green roof at every level in order to raise the awareness on the sustainable living culture of the fishing village. The natural topography and water courses are reflected in the landscaping and stormwater treatment.

Reflect our History
The design respect the site cultural and environmental background. The syncopated rhythm of platforms is designed by constructing the overall curve. The alignments of the curves ‘throw’ the view from the center either outwards towards the riverfront and the wider world, or inwards towards the nature. This compliments the sense of leaving, or entering, the site and creates a distinct split in the visual character of views gained in each direction: increasing the sense of natural intimacy to the surrounding and urban activity to nature.
