Courthouse in a Park by Alvin Huang

In the approach of visualizing the project “Courthouse in a Park,” the main narrative of creating a “building for the people” was the key driver for the direction of the architectural narrative. Through the design process of the project, questions of designing a new government building that was non-imposing became a major objective in the proposal, prompting our visualizations to be crucial in explaining our project: How can we create a building that addresses the programmatic requirements of a courthouse in the dense urban context without becoming another aggressive development? How can our design address public green spaces in dense cities? The image depicts a wet and humid evening in Hong Kong as residents bustle through the busy streets on the ground level and are seen taking a break at the second level public space which looks onto the street.
