The research for this thesis project is to study how architecture can explore or capture the situation and moment in the static built form and to promote or encourage the motion of suspense within the built environment. A contemporary art museum is proposed with the intention of strengthening the place identity as an entertainment district, and enhance the continuation of the historical identity and the notion of suspense from Luna Park and Palais Theatre.
The concept of the house is a combination of the elements of apartment and separate house where they have the shared space while maintaining their own privacy. The communal area is located at the ground floor, while the bedrooms are on the upper level. The space is designed to provide choices to the users whether to get together with the others or spend their time alone at a personal nook at both indoor and outdoor. The spaces are also having curtains as a flexible boundary that create a subtle division from the shared space.
No bees no food. Our food production relies on the interaction of blossom and bees. In the recent years, the population of bees is declining as they are under the threat of diseases and pesticides. Hence, a honeybee learning centre is complemented to the urban farm in order to educate the public on the importance of the bees in the food industry and ecosystem to the public. The urban beekeeping farm raises the awareness of the relationship between bees, human and nature.
