Design Concept

Site Context – the Shamshuipo Grid

Shamshuipo is built on reclaimed land organized in a North-South / East-West Grid. This dense urban area demonstrates the vitality of Hong Kong – the characteristics resulting from the amalgamation of contrasting elements.

Conceptual Context – the Quantum Grid

Inspired by Quantum Mechanics, the Quantum Grid bring into the micro world of spaces with various spatial properties from 0 (open) to 1 (close). Like the quarks in the world of Quantum Mechanics with different vibration frequencies, these ‘Spatial Quarks’ have different spatial properties (from open 0000 to close 1111…). They are organized within a ‘Quantum Grid’ in which spaces and forms are generated by the various combinations of the ‘Spatial Quarks’.
