Your Own Architect

A self exploration of multiple identities. What would the world look like if everyone had the agency, the space, the empowerment to create their own architecture? It would be impossible to master-plan such a place, a city, and world that reflected every individuals’ self identities. This exploration first starts with a case study of the Kowloon Walled City, known as the City of Anarchy. Without a government and guidelines, inhabitants built as they saw fit and created the beautiful, intermixed structure. From there, spaces were imagined for contrasting identities, such as a woman who is Catholic school teacher by day and a stripper by night. Finally, a self exploration into my own identities brings out a space imagined for myself. The importance is the process.
