MANIFESTO
In the tightly packed neighborhood of To Kwa Wan, space is limited and buildings are pressed close together, making it tough to design high-rises that feel light, breezy, and livable.This project uses generative design tools like Grasshopper and Wallacei to explore better ways of shaping a new tower near Kwun Shan Court.The goal is to find building forms that bring in more natural light, maximize floor area and keep it thermally insulative
We’re introducing rice husk geopolymer panels into the facade an eco-friendly material that’s great at keeping it thermally insulated and resistance towards fire. By including these panels in the optimization process, we’re not just choosing a shape we’re letting the building respond intelligently to its environment and perform better for the people who live there
SITE
The site is located on Ko Shan Road in To Kwa Wan, a dense, mixed-use neighborhood in Kowloon, Hong Kong. The site is surrounded by mid to high-rise residential blocks, narrow streets, and is close to major infrastructure like the East Rail Line and To Kwa Wan MTR station.
