The assignment is to design a small steel resting hut and as a knowledge exchange outpost for visitors to the hill at Lung Fu Shan, Hong Kong. The objective of this project is to demonstrate student’s understanding of steel as a material for construction and to create a simple, yet beautiful space.
With the Knowledge Exchange outpost in mind, students design a small resting hut or a viewing platform for people to see the distant views, take a break, walk their pets, rest from their walk or after some outdoor exercise. The platform must include seating for up to eight people. Students may propose an additional simple function to your structure, for example visitors’ information, etc.

The structure can be a destination for the visitors or a resting place. Students are required to pay very close attention to the site itself and respond in a sophisticated way that contributes to the character and identity of the place, e.g. urban hill, etc.
