A.I. + Love
February is the month of Love. The word love in Chinese and Japanese are both pronounced as 'AI'. Coincidentally, during this month, talks about A.I. - Artificial Intelligence - has found its place in just about every dinner conversation. I decided that the serendipity deserves a bit of exploration.

細說「佰合」之二:梯田式建築
《佰合》梯田式建築是一個針對香港地勢特點的創新建築設計。透過改變對土地的態度,將斜坡視為土地資源的一部分,可以釋放出更多的建築潛力。梯田式建築結合自然地貌,通過平整斜坡和創新的建築結構,實現高密度低層建築,同時確保每戶的窗外景觀不受阻擋。這種設計不僅能提供舒適的居住環境,還能利用道路平台和多用途海濱長廊等設施來促進社區的交流和互動。此外,梯田式建築還可以利用天台空間發展社區農場或花園,提供新的經濟產業和可持續發展的土地選項。這種創新的建築設計有助於應對香港的住房需求和挑戰,同時符合永續性發展的要求。

Realizing a Dream City
A group of professionals from diverse backgrounds participated in the 'Dream City' open competition organized by Hong Kong Seek Road. Their proposal, titled 100 Hub, focused on addressing the limited space issue in Hong Kong by creating a new town design that could accommodate 100,000 residents. The proposal incorporated the perspectives of different personas, including a retired professional concerned about aging options and a young software engineer contemplating emigration due to housing constraints. The team aimed to meet the needs of these marginalized demographic groups and promote intergenerational living, terraced farming, and the eco-tech industry. With their proposal recognized, they are now seeking partnerships and feedback to realize their ideas and make it a collective dream for the city.

A Space of Our Own
The housing situation in Hong Kong is characterized by unaffordability and limited space, leading to frustration for those seeking apartments. The concept of micro-units, where smaller spaces are more affordable, has become prevalent, but recent trends show that even small apartments are becoming expensive. To challenge this assumption, the idea of co-housing and co-living is gaining traction. Co-housing originated in Denmark and involves multiple families building homes together, sharing resources, and fostering a sense of community. Co-living, on the other hand, operates on a smaller scale of apartments and buildings, providing private and public spaces with shared amenities. The concept has found success in various parts of the world, including the United States and Taiwan. By reimagining homes as collective spaces, the trade-off between size and cost can be overcome, and a sense of community can be fostered. Co-living offers a promising solution to address the changing household dynamics and maintain social interactions in Hong Kong.

空間有限|生活無限
探討香港房價問題,以一個普通三口之家為例,指出購房成本高昂,尤其對於想擁有600尺單位的家庭而言,需要花上長達60年的時間還清房債。全球各大城市也面臨著相似的挑戰,例如倫敦和三藩市。除了房價問題外,文章還觸及了城市發展的其他方面,包括土地利用、生活多樣性以及公共交通等。它呼籲利用創意和靈活的方式來充分利用有限的城市空間,以解決城市發展所面臨的挑戰。最終,它強調,若想使城市更繁榮、更宜居,必須從空間角度出發,制定全面的城市規劃。

Where Space Is Limited
The housing affordability crisis in Hong Kong, where exorbitant prices make it nearly impossible for families to own property. It highlights the global issue of housing affordability in growing urban areas, with cities implementing measures to control prices and increase housing supply. However, the author emphasizes that population growth remains a significant challenge, and unless housing supply can keep up, the crisis will persist. The structural constraints of geography, zoning, and economies of scale limit the speed at which cities can build. The article suggests that addressing the housing problem requires creative thinking, such as reevaluating housing models and encouraging shared living spaces to enhance efficiency and social connection in cities.
