Energizing Kowloon East
Temple of the Arts
Malcolm Murray & Owen Dalton
Our Vision
We want to create an environment where kids of all ages can discover their love for learning through free exploration of the arts guided by materials and trained professionals.
Montessori Education
• Mixed aged classrooms
• Student choice of activities
• Students learn from working with materials
• Free activity
• Beauty and harmony
• Cleanliness of environment
• Order
• An arrangement that facilitates movement
• Children are naturally trying to learn
• Grab their interests while its hot
Chinese Temple Progression
• Central movement directly through houses
• Ends with the most important house
Temple Progression
Design Concepts:
•Central movement•Progression of houses•Grand final house (most important)•Incorporate courtyards between houses•Arrangement that facilitates movement
Really Emphasize the Final House:
•Everything narrows in towards it•Culmination of the work done in the different houses•Only the most prestigious art•Auditorium effect •Stage like feel 4D
3D
2D
Concept Elevation
• Clear distinction between houses• Spillover on the second and third floor• Auditorium feel• Everything eventually leads to the presentation room
Goals
1. Wide connectivity scope
2. Adhere to a working indoor/outdoor environment
3. Address flexibility issues and long term function
4. Transparency and involvement with the community
5. Keep the kids and vision in mind with every decision
Connectivity: MTR
We have an elevated covered foot bridge that extends from our site all the way into the MTR terminal in Kwun Tong. It will look something like this:
= connection points
Connectivity: MTR, Laguna City & Ferry
1. GREEN = Street level foot traffic2. RED = Elevated covered walkway foot traffic3. This way our space can be used by other members of the
community not involved with the actual Temple of the Arts

2nd Floor Walking Bridge
Elevated covered walking path across Shing Yip Street
Area of Interest:•Notice the indoor/outdoor interaction between the two spaces.•Both spaces belong to the same house and spill out into one another•Double sets of sliding doors on each facade
Flexibility Plan: Work around fixed structure2 main materials in construction:Concrete = Fixed StructureWood = Replaceable
•Design lends itself to a flexible set of buildings.
•All of the main mechanical rooms, stairwells, and elevators are housed in the concrete structures
•The wood structures house the current functions of the building but are subject to change if the function of the site were to change.
Simple construction. With Structure House it is possible to redesign “in house”
