Docking
Docking focuses on the living condition of street sleepers during the rise and fall. In the past years, the existing shelters found at Kwun Tong Public Pier are constructed in a primitive way, most of the materials are wasted in each clearance. Hence, the team designed one mobile dwelling unit and one foldable unit based with simple means and standard materials readily available on the market. Cuts are also designed to be minimal when assembling the materials. The proposed project will continue improving the spatial prototype, while documenting the engagement with the communities through films and zines.

Docking a collective growth from “Seeds of Resilience - Re(dis)covering the City” by UABBHK2022. Architects, students, social workers, advocates, filmmakers and citizens from Spain and Hong Kong formed this collective. The collective developed an urban prescription for a specific public space in Hong Kong through construction manuals and actions.
