In the current paradigm, architecture serves as an instrument for extraction: housing is not shelter but a financial device. The task is to unbuild the assumptions — of ownership, of permanence, of productivity — that structure the architecture of housing today. Rooted in the ecological and political specificity of the New Territories fish ponds, the studio positions them as active agents in a new model of living — one that entangles domestic life with environmental repair, collective governance, and infrastructural stewardship, rather than obsolete or inefficient. Here, housing is a device to filter water, support biodiversity, capture carbon, host care, and maintain the fragile ecologies of the Deep Bay. These proposals do not seek to minimize impact, but to generate value of a different kind: ecological, social, and public. Students will design strategies that embed residents within these landscapes as custodians — people who live by maintaining, repairing, and regenerating the systems that sustain them.
