The Civic Square Creative and Experiential Venue by Annette Pui Man Chu

Home > Winners > #102528




DESIGN DETAILS
DESIGN NAME:
The Civic Square

PRIMARY FUNCTION:
Creative and Experiential Venue

INSPIRATION:
The design concept is to construct a pavilion under the sky where students, teachers and visitors gather. Two-layered glued-laminated timber beams are used to construct the spatial structure, with directions echoing the spatial connections linking the key spaces. They become lines guiding people across the square.

UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The project transforms an existing semi-outdoor transitional space into a civic square for the members of the academy, in the name of Professor Charles Kao, the pioneer of the development and use of fibre optics in telecommunications.

OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION:
The design delibrately replaces the wall of The Clifford C. F. Wong Secondary Library with a stage to create a smooth transition between the square and the library. Informal and formal performances, sharing and talks can take place. Existing staircase to senior common space on floor above is enlarged to create a hang-out steps where members can sit and relax next to the lush hillside. Cafe is connected to the square with seating spilling out, and the existing courtyard is enclosed and framed to appear an internal garden for the square. The whole space becomes a vibrant space with various activities can take place.

PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION:
The project started in January 2018 and finished in September 2018. It is located at The ISF Academy, Cyberport, Hong Kong

FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY:
Interior Space and Exhibition Design

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY:
Lighting is essential to create an uplifting atmosphere in such a deep space. To achieve this, above each timber beam inserts a continuous line of light boxes. Each light box is made of LED strip light with stretched barrisol membrane below to diffuse light uniformly like the sky.

SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES:
The total area of the square is 1800m2.

TAGS:
civic square, timber, pavilion, hong kong, education, eureka

RESEARCH ABSTRACT:
With the ambition of creating a free space for all academy members to enjoy, study of flows, observations of students' behaviours and discussion with board members on the vision and design were conducted.

CHALLENGE:
To create a pavilion under the sky, the design has to integrate carefully the existing and the new building services. Features such as sprinkler heads and air grilles are deliberately removed from the barrisol ceiling. At the same time, the design has adopted natural materials, and considered cross ventilation during autumn and winter for energy saving.

NAME:

PROFILE:
Eureka is a Hong Kong based architectural studio established in 2011 aiming to create a multi-layered experience. Architecture is not just about being visual. It is an opportunity to use the resources to build to bring in other values. DOUBLE AGENDA is what we believe in. We create commons, be it in a home, a school, or in society, to encourage new and positive interactions between people. Meaningful space can transform people’s behaviour. We do not believe in excess. We want honesty in our materials and construction, and connect space with nature and surrounding. To feel the beauty. Architecture should have narratives, and sensibility. We focus our works in our home city Hong Kong. Currently, we are working on a new-built kindergarten, an intergeneration co-living residential tower, a HK crafts foundation and other interior projects.
