This design for the North Point waterfront redevelopment, which won the first prize in the competition, proposes an “organic network” of forms for the site. Designed by Chris Y. H. Chan + Stephanie M. L. Tan, the project approach is based on the study of the adjacent “community street” – Chun Yeung St., which should have human life and the life of dwellers establishing the community. In this project, they aim to transform the Chun Yeung St’s urban model as part of an organic ecology. This model could affect the North Point district to become a more sustainable urban model. More images and architects’ description after the break.
Chun Yeung St. is operated as Fujian tulou (Hakka earth building), bazaar and community are located in the container of community life. At the same time, this container stand as an agent sustains the community pattern, neighborship & the continuity of the culture successfully.
