Item Restricted Generating Sustainable Co-living Model in Hong Kong(2022) Chi Ying Louise Man; Aquilar, Giorgia; Pöğün-Zander, Yüksel; Faculty of Architecture and Design; Berlin International University of Applied SciencesAI-GENERATED ABSTRACT: Abstract: This research paper examines the housing crisis in Hong Kong and explores the potential of interior transformation to improve collective living conditions in large-scale housing. The paper discusses the need for affordable housing and the challenges faced by different demographic groups, such as young adults, the elderly, and low-income families. The concept of co-living is explored as a solution to the housing shortage, with a focus on its benefits in terms of sustainability, mental health, and social connection. The methodology involves secondary research, including literature reviews, case studies of co-living models, and statistical analysis of population density in Hong Kong. The thesis also includes a design proposal for improving the living conditions in a specific building, the Chungking Mansions. Overall, the research aims to provide insights and potential solutions for the housing crisis in Hong Kong.
