lau pa sat - displacement of community

lau pa sat, the testimony of history, used to br founded near the port and witnessed the development of the build fabric around throughout the century. it always tied up closely with the shoreline, but was displaced in concept further and further from the shoreline due to the land reclamation, losing its identity and relation with its location and community as its location now becomes in land. in order to adapt to the changing community, lau pa sat constantly reinvented itself as festival market and food center to cater to the needs, but with least desired result being met. this project focuses on how lau pa sat readapts to the new coming community and aims to fundamentally change this situation by reaching it out and grabbing back the displaced community.
