Ang Disenyo

Tungkol sa Pocket Spaces Manwal ng Disenyong Pangkomunidad

Ang Pocket Spaces ay isang gabay sa interbensyong panlipunan para sa mga pampublikong pabahay na may mataas na densidad. Ginagawa ng disenyo ang makikitid na koridor at hagdanan bilang mga pinagsasaluhang espasyong panlipunan. Isang 12-pahinang portable na manwal na nakalimbag sa recycled na papel ang gumagabay sa mga residente nang hakbang-hakbang, mula sa pagtukoy sa mga napapabayaang lugar hanggang sa paggawa ng mga simpleng modular na yunit. Ang pag-aassemble ay gumagamit ng kahoy na nakolekta mula sa basura ng komunidad, mga cable tie at simpleng clamp, kaya kayang tapusin ng mga nakatatandang residente at mga bata ang isang yunit sa loob ng 30 minuto nang walang espesyal na kasangkapan. Sinusuportahan ng Pocket Spaces ang espasyal na awtonomiya at ang pagkakabuklod ng magkakapitbahay sa mga komunidad na nahaharap sa muling pagpapaunlad.

Mga Natatanging Katangian: This project is a social intervention guide developed for high-density housing estates. It establishes an open infrastructure system using assembly protocols based on grassroots materials. This empowers elderly residents and children to transform narrow 2 meter corridors and stairwells into co-creation spaces. It is a social resilience tool characterized by zero marginal cost and rapid scalability.
Mga Sukat at Packaging: The toolkit uses a nested frame structure of 148 x 210 mm, 105 x 148 mm, and 125 x 176 mm. This ensures the design is portable, while the lightweight materials are easy for elderly people and children to carry. The structures are also designed to be easily relocated during cleaning or maintenance periods.
Mga Tag: Social design, social impact, spatial justice, systemic design, discursive design, participatory design, community design
Teknolohiya sa Produksyon: The core product is a 12-page A5 portable manual printed on 100% recycled paper. Physical units utilize local material cycles, such as common public estate items and wood collected directly from community waste. Assembly employs low-barrier connections, such as industrial cable ties and simple clamps. This allows non-professionals to conduct community-making in 30 minutes without specialized tools.
Hamon sa Disenyo: The primary challenge was moving beyond the traditional helicopter model of social housing intervention which often relies on one off actions. This project focused on building deep trust through 700 hours of field research to address the apathy caused by extreme density and upcoming redevelopment. It shifts the designer role from designing for to community led design. The project acts as a mobile preservation system that allows social relationships to migrate and integrate into housing plans.
Pananaliksik: This action research project addresses human made ignorance and spatial injustice in high density urban environments. Through 700 hours of immersive ethnography and field research involving 500 residents, we found that urban apathy is a cognitive bias. Neighbors often overestimate the reluctance of others to interact. Public housing lacks the spatial rights to maintain connections rather than the connections themselves. The project resulted in a 40 percent increase in neighborly interactions.
Inspirasyon: This design originates from ethnographic observations of the extreme living density in Hong Kong where space averages 15.5 square meters per person. Through 700 hours of field research and 500 resident interviews, we discovered spontaneous space hacking in corridors and stairwells to build neighborhood bonds. The core inspiration involves translating scattered grassroots wisdom into a systematic social intervention guide. We used an high participation in the manual to awaken spatial autonomy and empower neglected spaces.
Tagal ng Proyekto: This organic system launched on January 30, 2025 and evolves alongside public housing redevelopment. The first phase is located in Wah Fu Estate. The second phase will be exhibited at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University School of Design in June 2026. The third phase will expand to other high density communities like Mei Lam and Butterfly Estate in 2027 to establish a cross regional social design network.
Daloy ng Operasyon: The Pocket Space Playbook is a portable toolkit designed to help residents transform lifeless public housing corridors into vibrant social hubs. The guide uses a step-by-step approach to help users identify neglected spaces and apply modular grassroots wisdom. This method is effective because it triggers a fundamental community shift: residents realize they have the right to define their own spaces, creating a bottom-up, sustainable ecosystem.
