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. 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 fiber optics in telecommunications.
Eureka is a Hong Kong based architectural design studio established in 2011 aiming to create a multi-layered experience. Believe in script-writing and the idea of 'polytropic' (with more than one author), the studio explores the existed typology and spaces through collecting, changing, redefining and creating situations, and hence the design. At the same time, we believe in project implementation, and oversee our design from the beginning to completion. Projects vary from small installations to interiors, cycling parks, private houses, future planning of a school campus, a winery and a Buddhist park.
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.
