Architecture

This project adopts the ethos that ‘the value of permanence must be proven, not merely assumed’ (Cedric Price) through rejecting permanency and exerting a spatial system of nomadic and plug-in principles. This has been conceivable through referencing the question, how can architecture facilitate the reuse of obsolescence, and preserve future possibilities while leaving behind a two-fold footprint? Plugging onto existing social housing networks for “at-risk” youth, the question was formalized through setting up two plug-in vehicles that when stationary serve as the physical core of a spatial system of natural, mental and social growth. Contributing to the overall narrative, the program is broken into sub events that provide the users with a platform for further enhancing their existing knowledge and skill set with the aim of offering them an agency to resist future welfare dependency.
