Neo Architecture
Rebuilding the Classics: From Horizontal Legacy to Vertical Order
by LI Wai Hin Harvey
BA (Hons) in Design (Interior Design)
Project Neo Architecture emerges from an interest in the distinctive architectural languages of both historical and contemporary architecture, positioning itself within the ongoing discourse concerning the relationship between old and new. Rather than pursuing a stylistic synthesis, the project reconceptualises this dialogue as a typological transformation, a typological shift whereby historically horizontal, ground-based spatial systems are translated into conditions of vertical density suited to the contemporary high-rise environment. Operating simultaneously as a speculative design proposition and a personal exploration of architectural language, the project seeks to establish a methodological framework through which classical architectural elements and systems are reinterpreted, transformed, and reconstituted within new spatial and tectonic conditions.
