Participants: Hardy Wong, Liu Rui, Jiao Hua Lu, Li Xinning Learning from the mistakes, we have envisioned a unique residential building prepared to face this or the next pandemic. Overall, the team has aimed to pay tribute to those who have confronted this invisible war, through the architecture. Through the core transport plant, the room will be moved to attach a medical station. The bedroom can separate from the living room and transforms to be a fully equipped medical room. Once an inhabitant detached sick, the individual can signal the core transport plant and wait for the transfer. The door has a body temperature monitor attached. Fresh cooking ingredients, food and bottled water, will be delivered to the receiver beside the door. Taking a reference to sci-fi novels such as the Blade Runner, the interior has been equipped with many futuristic entertainments including a holographic projection. When a pandemic happens, and citizens are advised to stay home, the building will be enclosed and become a vast machine providing the essential objects and medical treatment for the users. The architecture tries to bring a healthiest and safest community. It has a vertical high-rise structure and pluggable terminal block for the medical need.

We have created a monument-like architecture, which commemorates this crisis in shape and maximises health and safety in function. Inspired by Yin Yang philosophy, instead of helping people forget the pain caused by the virus, we choose to confront the wound and learn from the pain, for the loved ones we have lost as well as for the future crisis we, or our children might face in the future. Therefore, the team has researched and attempted to suggest a new type of residential building that can tackle the raised issue. Moreover, the surge of the need for medical equipment would be another burden to their already overloaded health care system.

However, it will be quite a difficult task for cities that have a dense population such as Tokyo, Hong Kong, New Delhi, to build a large hospital within the concrete jungle. A hospital was built within two weeks from the ground in China The UK had to transform an enormous exhibition space into a hospital with a capacity of five thousand beds. What is worse is that most of them are lack of medical space and equipment. Since the outbreak of the decease, many countries have fallen in a panic. The building resonates the lesson we have learnt from this crisis, and presents a new prototype of residential buildings that can provide a safer and healthier living environment. The shape of the architecture is monumental, and symbolically forms a sense of balance and harmony. Inspired by Yin Yang philosophy, the team has attempted to communicate an architectural design idea to confront the coronavirus, and the other pandemic might happen in the future. Pandemic Architecture, an International Ideas Competition curated by the Design Ambassador for, invited the creative community to open up a dialogue and create a think tank, looking for ideas from the architectural and design community about the future of the living, the workspace, the public space and the tourism industry after the outbreak of Covid-19.ĭARK RUNNER, was shortlisted in top 50 out of 440 projects.
