Urban Archipelagos: Kowloon Suspended Bio-filter
The Urban Archipelago is a massive art + science educational complex sited on landfill in Kowloon, Hong Kong. It sits at the intersection of a staggering ensemble of urban flows. Our proposal broke with the given project brief in many ways: in addition to housing the requisite educational facilities, we sought to make a vibrant, dynamic and synergistic urban landscape. Synergy is defined as the interaction of two or more agents or forces whose combined effect is greater than the sum of their individual effects. Our proposal attempts to breed and sustain multiple networks of exchange and promote a promiscuous mixing of diverse ecologies (people, matter, data, energy flows, etc).
