Cunzhuang Ta (Village Tower): A Pixel Tower for a housing collective in Hong Kong

Abstract

Published shortlisted architectural competition entry for a "pixel" tower in Hong Kong. In the continuing search for sustainable and social forms of living together in the compact city, new social structures, paradigms for individual and communal life, are often said to be necessary. Perhaps re-learning old ones can be as instructive. In Cunzhuang Ta, shared spaces promote the interaction of diversity; living, meeting, culture, entertainment, trade and crafts in a vertical version of the traditional Hong Kong walled village.
