So my aim was to help the victims build their living place for the physical and mental injury in this condition after the disaster. But after a few discussions, J found that this was not the suitable solution which architecture could do at that moment, so I seeked something else which related to community as well. Besides a food- lover, I was also amazed by the variety of dining spaces. A nice space could be a flavor of a meal. This was the beginning of my journey of "Community in Food Oasis". Thanks to Puaypeng, who worked with me throughout the thesis year. He gave me a lot of inspirations and encouraged me to try things I never tried. I would also like to thanks Shiqiao and Wallace, who gave me valuable opinions at the beginning of the semester as well as during our discussion. Those who was fighting hand in hand with me, I will not forget the difficult times they went through with me. Cye, Catherine, Yuki, Andrew, Eric ... Thank you all! I'm glad that we're over it together. Special thanks to Bobby, Ying, Steven, Kathy, Kenneth, Louis, this is really a mission impossible without you guys. Thesis Statement "Community"- 'Condition of sharing, having things in common or being alike in some way'. (- from Oxford English Dictionary Ver. 2008 ) During 50s- 80s, Hong Kong went through the evolution from agriculture to industry, and people shifted their place of work out of their homes. While we are spending more time on work, in pursuit of a better living, some are simutaneously overlooking their family relationships. Survey showed that this is one of the reasons leading to social issues such as cases of unattended family members. One way to avoid consequential social problems is to strengthen family and neighborhood relationship. While it is impossible for us to return to our primitive way of life, the only possible way is to look into our daily living pattern and look for occasions which could happen to serve as foundation of communal activities. Public space is an essential element to activate community. But is it solely a ground or a centre for them to spend their days in? Here the thesis tries to redefine "Communal space" in regard to what neighborhood needs. I simply introduced FOOD as a programmatic catalyst in the Communal Space since it is a mutual need for everyone and involves many opportunities in social contacts. Therefore the process of food making along with different interactions was studied and explored. From the production of food to processing and consumption, architecture takes a position in integratingtheactivitesand inhabitants.lt looks forthe proximity in function and space of programmes aiming to encourage neighborhood bonding and healthy living. In this project, " Community" is created in a longer term of interaction than merely talking to each other occassionally. Through making and learning of food together, the neighborhood could benefit themselves communally, economically and serve as a centre to draw more lives to the area. 當我們都為生活在外忙碌，同時卻會因此忽略了人與人的關係。此 論文旨在研究建築在當今繁忙社會的家庭與鄰里關係中，可以起甚 麼作用。 「食」是所有人生活中不可或缺的元素，而無論是與「食」相關的 活動還是地點時間，都製造了把人拉近的機會。此論文以這前提為 基礎，進而重新定義社區真正需要的「公共空間」。從栽種、處 理、煮食，到買賣、食用，都製造了不同的互動平台’讓建築提供 與揉合這些空間，從而鞏固鄰里和諧與提倡健康的生活。 這諭文以舊區石硤尾為試驗地，利用建築和城市規劃將「食」的互 動帶進區内，使之引進該區人流享用這「公共空間」，―甚至成為生 產食物的一分子。 於是，「社區」在這裡並非單單指偶然下的接觸（如每日買菜的煮 婦們和往茶樓的退休人士）。 這裡，透過合作和學習中長遠以及深 入的互動，才是一個居住環境需要的「社群」生活。居民除了藉此 更能在經濟上互助互惠，也營運著一個「中心」使該區其他的社群 寄生其中。 Chapter I- Background Study e s s k j 7 quic & r m alternativ toward s d fo Religion d f an g o t lunchroo appere attitude e ' for'Community d eatin n & h d Developmen influence definitio foo Self-servic lunc 8000 B.C. 1876 'Automats r e g 1920s 5-i6thC s (Middle Ages) large e d resultin , stor an Agricultur t e f Age o e n s stabl e Ston unit w g Departmen n mor Ne Luneonettesforshopper i n n Introductio i i livin A brief history of relationship between food and life pattern in the world Case Study I: Lan Kwai Fone. Hong Kong In 1980s, German-Canadian businessman Allan Zeman, also known as the father of Lan Kwai Fong, invested 32 million Hong Kong dollars to buy a whole building and renovate it as Western restaurants. The place soon became a meeting place for foreigners in Hong Kong due to spontaneous development. It was a successful catering "experiment" to put foreign bar cultures into local fabric since HK is a cosmopolitan city. Case Study II: Clarke Quayf Singapore A revitalization project in i97o-8o's and was opened in late 1993. Interior and exterior rennovation were made to existing residential buildings along the Singapore River# and were turned to restaurants and nightclubs. This commercial and entertainment development has attracted tourist from elsewhere of the world as well as become a gathering place for local community as leisure.

Unemployment and aging rate being high, (meaning long time Shep Kip Mei spent in the area and low economy) 3. Lack of public space. Site Observations: The only public space around the area is along Nam Cheong Street, which is one of the busiest road in Sham Shui Po. There's a 1-storey high retail market at the corner of Shep Kip Mei, which is a rather centralised place of 'exchange' for surrounding residents.

[ Existing pocket space J on ground of Shek Kip I Mei Estate of older (generation there're only a few visitors to the Cooked Food Stalls on the roof floor as well as to the playground. Meawhile, there are many schools located at the back of Shep Kip Mei Estate and there is not enough communal facilities provided for them. So, where do they go after school? Opportunity: Since the area contains activities of people of different generations (teenagers, housewives, elderly) who only interact with their peers on streets, it has a potential to draw them together and prompt more interaction among them. 25.00% 20.00% 15.00% 10.00% 5.00% 0.00% 0-14 15-29 30-39 40-49 50-59 >=60 Age distribution in Sham Shui Po, 2001 60.00% 50.00% 40.00% 30.00% 20.00% 10.00% 0.00% Fulltime students Home-makers Others Economically

  • My Grandmother and I Walked Along Kweilin Street in Kowloon, Near the Sham Shui Po Rail Station, Where the Open-Air Market Was a Scene of Controlled Chaos
    My grandmother and I walked along Kweilin Street in Kowloon, near the Sham Shui Po rail station, where the open-air market was a scene of controlled chaos. Along a stretch of five or six blocks, vendors selling everything from wristwatches to dish towels to pirated DVDs began their operations on the sidewalk and bled into the street. Hun- dreds of people walked along the street as if it was a pedestrian promenade, which it isn’t — every now and again a car would patiently maneuver through. In Hong Kong, the market rules. The former British colony has thrived as an economic power- house under the “one country, two systems” policy developed under Deng Xiaoping. The result is one of the most fiercely competitive, densely populated, commerce-driven cities in the world. It’s also one of the most astonishingly expensive. On a recent visit, though, I was able to manage a fairly economical stay, all while enjoying the food, attractions and electric environment that the “fragrant harbor” (the literal translation of Hong Kong) has to offer. I focused my energy on the Kowloon peninsula, which is a bit grittier and less touristy than Hong Kong Island, just a few thousand feet away across Victoria Harbor. The biggest expense when staying in Kowloon will inevitably be housing. I confess that I cheat- ed, as I have family members who live about an hour out of the city center, and with whom I stayed for most of my trip. I did spend a night at the Silka West Kowloon Hotel, paying $157 for a double room.

MASTER THESIS Carolien Potter HASSELT UNIVERSITY FACULTY OF ARCHITECTURE AND ARTS 2014 - 2015 Supervisor: Dr. Katelijn Quartier Tutor: Philippe Swartenbroux PREFACE The first words of my thesis I would like to dedicate to those who have supported me during the project, even when I was 10.000 kilometres away from them. First and foremost I would like to thank my supervisor Dr. Katelijn Quartier for her honest advise and feed- back throughout the research project. Secondly I would like to thank Philippe Swartenbroux, for the nu- merous tutorials, clever suggestions and motivating inspirations. Many thanks for letting me see that the solution was often right in front of me. Furthermore I would like to thank everyone who made it possible for me to go to Hong Kong in the first place, as well as my friends who showed me the city and the outlying island, as if I were a local. Also many thanks to those who helped me make my trip abroad a whole new experience. And last but not least I want to thank particularly my boyfriend Domien, for the love and patience during the project, as well as my friends and family for their encouragements and support when I needed it the most. ABSTRACT Even from the times before Marco Polo travelled and documented his travels to Asia, there has been an interest in other unknown countries to write about it and to show others the interesting and different customs from those cultures.
