The “subject” (interviewee) \u00a0lives in Hong Kong for a long time. He moves around the city, looking for a place to survive. Sometimes he lives under the bridge. Sometimes he lives inside the 24 hours MC Donald. When we receiving\u00a0all the benefits given by this\u00a0city, he got nothing. What is space? How can\u00a0he measure space?<\/p>\n

Character 2 – The <\/strong>Observant
\n<\/b>
\nThe observant\u00a0has been following him for a week and recording all the related action\/ reaction. What is “space” for him?
\n<\/span><\/p>\n


\n“Does a space have boundaries? ”
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

“If space is neither an external object nor an internal experience, are man and space inseparable?”<\/span><\/p>\n

“Does architectural space exist independently of the experiencing body?”<\/p>\n

“If an architectural space is an in-between, is it a political instrument and a reflection of society as well?”<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

By following the homeless, the observant started understanding the material parts of the cities\u00a0and experiencing the\u00a0domination of space taken by the homeless behaviors.<\/span><\/p>\n


\n<\/span>Character 3\u00a0–\u00a0The Situation<\/strong><\/p>\n

The disjunctions among space, movement and events are happening here. The scattered condition of building is not only about form and boundary. Like what proposed by the Manhattan transcript, we are witnessing the disjunction of relations between form and function.\u00a0We turn Police Married Quarters into shopping mall, estate into art center etc. We bring out\u00a0“Sub-divided flats” which compressing space to an extreme level. We butchering the space. Society and concrete space had been completely denied in favour of mental and experiencing body. Meanwhile, the coherence of the city’s signification was constantly threatening to be defeated<\/span>. This is because the production of the city still remained a social practice\u00a0while people can never be fully instrumentalised.<\/p>\n

\n

The Project<\/strong><\/p>\n

The “capital space” is not seamless and is full of contradictions. The contradictions give\u00a0a possibility of having this thesis.\u00a0A pure situationist project which exploring the psycho-geography and the constitution of spaces\u00a0which fulfilled user desires. The project will practicing the inhibition of users, documenting the behaviors as this is the code (operation) in dominated space. It meant to contest the retreat of directly lived into a representation and furthermore, to contest the organisation of the society itself.<\/p>\n

The Hong Kong transcripts will further develop the ideas of non-coincidence between movement and space, meaning and being.<\/p>\n

The project is to reconstruct the discontinuities of\u00a0space, movement and event by adopting a dynamic manner and turning the context and program into a architectural materials. The reconstruction will be manipulated by a set of formal strategies which have been classified in the Manhattan transcripts such as repetitive sequence, disjunctive sequence and distorted sequence.<\/p>\n

From that, the project will ultimately present the subjective design (the transcripts) for present-day Hong Kong in which the spatial relationships and physical measurement\u00a0of objects can be changed in different point of views.<\/p>\n
