This studio positions environmental forces— weather, climate, and time—as central, creative agents in architectural design. Framed by the metabolic cycles of growth, adaptation, transformation, and decay, we challenge conventional perceptions of the built environment. Using the contested wetlands of the San Tin Technopole as a living laboratory, students will employ rigorous analytical drawing, surveying, and modelling to decipher the site's complex ecological and geopolitical layers. This research informs a process-driven methodology, translating findings into transformative devices and material prototypes that respond to climatic conditions. The final architectural intervention synthesizes this exploration, proposing resilient structures that embrace impermanence and actively engage with natural cycles. This studio equips students with the speculative and practical tools to design architecture that actively engages with, rather than resists, environmental processes, proposing a future built on adaptation and resilience.
