“H.K.I.D.H.D" Hong Kong Innovation District High Density - Master Studio Project

RMIT University, 2018

Supervisor: John Doyle & Vicky Lam

​

The projects focused on manufacturing and production as component of high density urban environments. Manufacturing and making has traditionally been a component of diverse mercantile cities such as Hong Kong. The shift towards mechanized large-scale production through the twentieth century has resulted in a decline of many of the artisanal and traditional ways of making that occurred as an ad hoc component of the city.

​

In this space the challenge for architecture is to envision how these shifts might change our cities, both though form and typology, but also in the way they are programmed, inhabited and influence our social structures. The challenge is to understand the role of the architect in designing the manufacturing spaces of the future and to draw o technical innovation as a catalyst of architectural design innovation.
