Urban Utopia
Undergraduate Work, 2014
The idea is to create a never-before-seen kind of design and new architectural icon for Chow-Kit. By employing its form to function into a recognisable architectural prototype, which can adapt to diverse edge conditions, the space with varying function and program was planned in a different manner from the traditional. In choosing a form, I started with the concept of breaking down rigidity and embracing a more flexible and uncertain process. The canopy with a more fluidity covering, super structure is literally a refreshing icon in the site. To respect the surrounding context, transparency of this canopy act to soften the feeling of massive structure. The playful reflection of the sunlight on the uncertainty angular canopy was imaged as the time and space which bring memory of the street back.
