PROJECT BACKGROUND

The uniqueness of Stanley has inspire me to create this this project. The area is defined by two main shorelines united by a small mountain ridge. When walking from one place to another, the beach seems to appear between the small buildings, at times the buildings also appeared as if they have hidden in the natural scenes. This “Hide and Expose” idea can be experienced in the site where the sand accumulates or vanishes with the changing seasons. It can also be seen with the flux of people for the dragon boat racing events and on the non-racing days. The project’s intention is to expose Dragon Boat culture by applying an interplay of nature and building to entice users to discover the place and its activities.
