Capstone Project
Dancing Fabrics : Sham Shui Po Fashion & Cultural Hub

By: CHAN Wing Kei, Maggie | Tutor: Peter Hasdell
Sham Shui Po has a long history of manufacturing and trading garment, making it a popular destination for fashion enthusiasts and local designers. Taking advantage of this established but declining ecosystem, this project aims to transform Mei Ho House into a fashion landmark that create synergies among local fashion industries, providing venues for exhibition and fashion events, as well as reinventing fashion designers co-working spaces and material centers in experiential ways.

Dancing Fabrics proposes the concept of transformable fabric installations, these are dispersed in the fashion hub in various scales with different functions, ranging from canopies and pavilions for exhibitions and pop-up stores, and flexible partitions in co-working studio spaces, to the fabric light diffuser under the skylight in material center. Apart from echoing with the theme of fashion, the project explore spatial possibilities of fabric as a building material with its flexibility and transformative nature. Forming interactive and functional fabric installations that shapes the spatial language of the Fashion & Cultural Hub
