WEATHER-CASTED MSB: LEARNING FROM WEAKNESS, CHAOS AND DEFICIENCY
Advisor:
Fai Au
Student(s):
Davina, Natalie
Studio introduction:
This studio seeks the design of Weather-casted MSB, which:
• Redefines its own role as public places to catalyze new forms of vibrant city life;
• Nurtures growth of nature in a highly congested and dense urban environment;
• Rethinks the role of owner, operator, builder, user and maintainer;
• Searches for weakness, chaos and deficiency in structure/circulation/envelope as design potential;
• Embraces weather as a driver to disrupt the rigid structural order and hierarchy - “weak” structure?
• Embraces weather as a driver to shuffle and reconfigure circulation - “chaotic” circulation?
• Embraces weather as a driver to break the barrier of envelope - “deficient” envelope?
• Rethinks the relationship between permanent and temporary, static and dynamic, order and disorder, programmed and unprogrammed, sheltered and exposed, indoor and outdoor.
