The development aims to regenerate the place and surrounding area to hold a larger amount of spectators by providing more seats and standing platforms.

Over 100 iterations and studies which challenges, and produced through, the premise of digital production and analogue tooling, “Digital Novelty” is a series of design-research that is an intersection between of platonic solids and the notion of basic geometric shapes, assisted by 3-D modelling software (Rhinoceros 3D), 3-D printing technologies (additive manufacturing processes), and hand-drawn inked on vellum exercises. The research and development of “Digital Novelty: Crystallised Geometrics” reveals itself through a feedback system that carefully interrogates a simple method of production and design.

Andreas KOSTOPOULOS & Hayley WONG: A nightclub is situated in Hong Kong, in Victoria Harbour, in order to provide a range of experiences for different audiences based on their distance and degree of enclosure. Those viewing the nightclub from the tallest skyscrapers retain a generalized perception that is also altered by the building’s reflected image in the water, which remains unseen to those within the night club.
