In this studio project (Consulate & Cultural Centre), one crucial aspect I aim to address is the avoidance of Culturally Invasive.
To tackle this, my proposed solution for the project involves connecting the flagging station with an underground reservoir. The concept revolves around restoring the underground river located 16 meters below our studio site, establishing a connection between the flag with the aim of natural heritage conservation. This approach ensures that each morning's flag ceremony is not seen as Culturally invasive but rather Culturally supportive.
Another essential feature to mention is that a unique design element was incorporated during periods of heavy rain or flooding; the Chinese flag will rise along with the water level in the reservoir. This decision was made to symbolize and celebrate the successful prevention of flooding issues associated with the site. By visually showcasing the flag's ascent during such events, the design highlights the resilience and effective flood management strategies implemented in the Consulate design.
