VERTICAL VILLAGE 

The concept of this project is creating quality living environment to Chungking mansions’ residents through the reformation of basic elements in a village. Quality living environment does not mean luxurious house with expensive furniture. It is a setting that can ensure people to have good mental and physical health. In order to make use of the space in the site, the vernacular architectures in Hong Kong, such as Dai Pai Dong, can provide appropriate references for this project. New spatial qualities would be generated by giving new meanings to typical spaces that found in Hong Kong. The elements of this self-operation village include exchange space, residential area, circulation, religion zone and plaza. Accommodations and businesses are not the only things that can be found in Chungking mansions, but also fresh air and social area which are rarely seen in the surrounding areas.
