'The Art of Sketching – Architectural Narratives 2024', a hand sketch exhibition hosted by the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) Hong Kong Chapter opens from 20 December 2024 to 25 January 2025. Supported by the Hong Kong Design Centre (HKDC), the exhibition showcases over 150 hand sketches from selected architects and students in Hong Kong, illustrating diverse thoughts, styles, and creativity at different stages of the design process. It also marks the inaugural exhibition of The Gallery at the DX design hub in Sham Shui Po, Kowloon.
COLLECTIVE has contributed sketches of our three projects:
83 King Lam Street: Forming the centerpiece of a twin tower podium is a cascading landscape of steps – the ‘feature steps’ – which rhythmically winds its way up and down, left and right, connecting each level of the separated podium. Its parametric surface is expressed as a series of pixelated steps with varying heights, thereby creating a landscape of stairs, seats, and planters.
Para Site Art Space: The design offers two punctures on the nonstructural bearing wall that is in-between two industrial units, in which Para Site, Hong Kong’s leading contemporary nonprofit art centre would like to inject a flexible workshop / library/ retail space on one side and an exhibition space on the other side. Steps were intended to be made by the debris resulted in the puncturing and has now become an artist piece.
“New Diplomatic Encounters”, Taipei Biennale 2020: The height varying ribbon design, a “Theatre of Negotiations” is a result of intensive research on ‘Spaces for Negotiations’, which accommodates all types of encounters during diplomacy, incorporating the essences of assembly formats from the House of Commons in the UK (facing each other confrontationally); UN General Assembly (directionally front facing); Taiwan Legislative Yuan and House of Representative Chambers in USA (concentrically facing the middle). The winding ribbon breaks down the hierarchy between a speaker and the audience, creating an egalitarian space for discussions.
