Contributor Bracken, G. (mentor) Bruyns, G. (mentor) Cuperus, Y. (mentor) Faculty Architecture Department Architecture Programme DSD Date 2012-11-08 Abstract Are built environments generic because of the need for changeability (flexibility)? That was the key question of the hypothetical assignment presented. Project uses the design tools of generic buildings – embedded into a grid, typical plans or systemized massing of volumes – to support specific identity of Hong Kong as leading city. The chosen method is to continue with high density development providing room for a new growth (and vice versa). Both conditions of density and generality were covered in an extensive research, which then helped in designing the very dense multifunctional building blocks.
