KONG STUDIO DESCRIPTION
IIT
FALL 2002
|
|
| The studio investigates issues of density, publicness, and connectivity by observing 3 cities: Hong Kong, Guangzhou, and Beijing. We travelled for 5 weeks and experienced/ observed/analyzed these very different urban conditions. Then we returned to Crown Hall on IIT Chicago campus to design a project. Entitled the “Wong Kar-Wai House” named after the celebrated Hong Kong movie director, the program is mixed-use, serving principally 6 designer-in-residence, with workshop space and living accommodations. Exhibit spaces, collaboration spaces, administration of the house, a small auditorium and a small library complement the program in terms of public usage. A 40-room guesthouse with breakfast and restaurant space is also part of the program. | |
