Transitional Micro-Housing - Hong Kong Affect T

"Designed for the Hong Kong/ Shenzhen Biennale of 2013 the Bamboo Mirco-housing project is a form of transitional housing for the 280,000+ residents living in the city without permanent housing. Inexpensive, sustainable, quick to assemble, the micro-housing is proposed for the interior of industrial buildings in Hong Kong and similar cities throughout southeast Asia. It is envisaged as a temporary solution to house individuals, couple, and families as the seek permanent forms of housing. Provided by the government and not-for-profit organisations the housing utilises the disused industrial space in the city to provide housing at the centre not in rural areas away from transit, family, and resources."

Martis Camp House Faulkner Architects

"The south facing site sits at the edge of an evergreen forest where it meets a spring fed creek at the base of an ancient volcano turned ski mountain. Years of flooding have exposed volcanic boulders that cover the site. The house inhabits the boulder field organized as a directional built landscape consisting of three layered bars staggered along a 140’ long insulated concrete wall. The wall registers the plan and reinforces the edge-like feeling of the site."

uncube

“I came to a point when I had to admit that I was more interested in the effect of existing architecture than in designing it.” In the first of two blog posts, uncube draws attention to the incredible photographs of Andreas Meichsner. This week we stay close to home with his long-term documentation of a German government building in Berlin.

Next week: Japan.
