THE PATCH MARKET

CHUNGKING MANSION

2014

Design Concept

This project redesign Chungking Mansion as a global market where enhancing the cultural exchange among people within the mansion. Chungking Mansion serves as a global community in Tsim Sha Tsui, gathering people around the world with a sense of isolation. The uniqueness of being isolated in the community would be maintained in this project, while enhancing the cultural exchange within the mansion with the design strategy of exaggeration. The sense of isolation of Chungking Mansions with Tsim Sha Tsui would be exaggerated by changing the mean of access through the back street. Meanwhile, exaggerating the integration within the Chungking Mansion through the strategy of progression and gradation.
