Intro:
Hong Kong has been a laboratory for housing for decades, especially in the public housing sector, The Housing Authority has developed a broad spectrum of housing types. The studio’s site is HING WAH(II) Estate which was typical “Old slab types”. Situated on a slope and organized in a grid, the project comes across a mega structure with a strong presence.
Meanwhile, in the past two years, Artificial Intelligence has been widely discussed among the public and emerged as a powerful tool for architects, further offering creative solutions that significantly accelerate the design process.
The goals of the studio are multifaceted. On the one hand, we aim to engage in a critical thinking analysis of the estate by developing individual positions on the topic of the second life of the community. On the other hand, we engage in a novel and experimental design process and test out our approach and methodology of how this technology can be integrated into the design process to bring solutions to the studio’s initial idea.
Ultimately, the studio starts with HING WAH(II) Estate and its inherent constraints and Properties. From there, we develop a design strategy based on AI. Further, we refine our work through iterative tests via 2D AI imagery and 3D modeling. Finally, solidify into a design proposal.
procedure: it shows how I worked with AI and how this approach aided me to foster my own idea
In this process, AI acted as a designer while I acted as a decision maker. models are made based on the images generated by AI and are photographed and uploaded again into next iteration…
Section: the section shows how the topological structure influence the space as well as the utilization of the space.
