As a passionate spatial design student, I am dedicated to creating engaging and sustainable environments that encourage social interaction.
For my final studio “The Future of Play”, I focused on how design addresses the challenges posed by the reduction of playful public spaces in urban environments. My project, “Aerial Playscape”, explores vertical play spaces in densely populated cities where ground-level space is limited. Through my work, I aim to transform urban landscapes into vibrant, interactive spaces that bring people together.
Aerial Playscape
The Aerial Playscape reimagines the unused space between two buildings at Monster Building in Hong Kong, transforming it into a vibrant area for play. This innovative design turns a dense urban gap into a lively, multi-level environment that encourages play, exploration, and community connection.
User Needs Analysis
Life inside Hong Kong’s Monster Building involves adapting to extremely small spaces, often 100-300 square feet, where spaces serve multiple functions. This limited personal space creates a strong need for public areas, where residents can gather, socialize, and enjoy life outside their compact apartments.
Active Zone
Includes a trampoline, slide, and climbing wall for physical activity.
Social Zone
Open spaces with flexible seating for interaction, group activities, and community events.
Relax Zone
A calm area with seating and a bookshelf for reading.
