​PLACE MAKING IN NON-PLACE:
In Hong Kong, we are facing shortage of land. We
reclaim the harbour and cut the mountain as the
solution. However, is there an alterative? Can we
reclaim the land occupied by the infrastructure for living habitat?

​Releasing the space to pedestrian:

Central is so crowdly packed with bridges and road. They are the obstacles blocking pedestrian to walk in the district, and more importantly, reach the waterfront. The right of pedestrian to walk around the city should be upheld in the future.

RECLAIMING THE PUBLIC SPACE IN CENTRAL DISTRICT
FOR SPECIFIC ACTIVITIES OF INDIVIDUALS:

The Central District in Hong Kong represents the controversy of public space use, public access borders and infrastructural conditions. Public Hub Hong Kong is haunting for a solution to reevaluate the public identity in modern urbanism of megapolis, considering the public individual activities.
​Can public hubs define the unique identity of urbanism in modern megapolices such as the city of Hong Kong?

“Leading architects of  the 21st century need to be able to look beyond what architects can normally do or think of…For instance, people in the 1960s predicted that the world would become completely digitalized, like today, but we still could not imagine it. It is not a revolution but a paradigm shift. Those who can foresee the coming changes become leaders. If you just follow the trends, you become shortsighted.” - Arata Isozaki

​EXTENSION OF GROUND AND VERTICAL ZONING
Lan Kwai Fong in the Central District has an
incredible cultural vibrancy but a heavily congested ground. It does not help that governmental zoning is plan-restricted and does not address the vertical complexity of programmatic arrangement in Central.
Can multi-level urbanism resolve the problem with a paradigm shift of new infrastructural development?
How can we bring the street vibrancy from the “ground” to above?
What is the meaning of ground?
What stops the street?
How should vertical space and infrastructure be adapted to the future development?
