ABSTRACT
This thesis explores the potential of a new direction of urban planning in old districts. An interstitial space is the space in-between, underneath, beyond, enveloped, and outside our traditional concepts of habitat and urban space. My purpose is redesigning an old district in a sustainable and fresh way.
I choose Yau Tsim Mong District to study because this district has kept the old style of Hong Kong. I think I can use a novel design program to make cultural conservation. The site has many different amazing features. And my project will focus on the potential of landscape development in that site.
I will try to use different aspects of the design to re-plan a street inside an old district. The design principal will across urban planning, architecture and landscape architecture. They will get complement with each other’s. And I will put a lot of themes of conservation and revitalization in my design to revitalize the disappearing culture.
The greening factors will be introduced into urban interstices by identifying the unique requirements of old districts and the conditions of interstitial spaces and species. 3
