The Hong Kong Pixel Home Competition对多单元住宅的类型挑战提出了基于人口增长和城市同步增长的预见性质疑。当代城市状况因住房短缺而陷入困境，其特点是市场膨胀和经济差距扩大。居民们面临着日益膨胀的资本和住房舒适度之间的妥协。The Hong Kong Pixel Home Competition通过打破类型，重新考虑根深蒂固的结构和当代住宅的期望，通过建筑的代理创新或重新发明传统的家庭生活形式，来寻求遏制这种趋势的解决方案。在上个世纪新陈代谢伦理和新野兽主义的先例下，竞赛邀请对基于模块化和重复的聚集形式、技术和材料策略的预期，以追求挑战现代的城市形式。成功的项目探索了密度、舒适度、公共和私人毗邻的后果，并考虑了国内礼仪、文化和传统的新方法。
The Hong Kong Pixel Home Competition calls into question the perennial typological challenge of multi-unit housing, prescient in consideration of expanding populations and parallel urban growth. The contemporary urban condition is distressed by housing shortages distinguished by inflationary markets and increased economic disparity. Residents are confronted by an increasingly ballooning compromise between capital and comfort. The Hong Kong Pixel Home Competition seeks solutions that would stem this trend through typological disruption, reconsidering entrenched structures and expectations of contemporary housing, with ambition of innovating or reinventing conventional forms of domesticity through the agency of architecture. Precedented by the ethic of Metabolism and New Brutalism of the last century, the competition invites anticipation of aggregatory formal, technological, and material strategies predicated on modularity and repetition in pursuit of challenging contemporary forms of urbanity. Successful projects explore the consequence of density, amenity, and public and private adjacency, with consideration of novel approaches to domestic propriety, culture, and tradition.

香港像素之家的首个方案从根本上重新想象了垂直生活的概念，将建筑尺度转换为个体单元类型。每个单元不是一层一层地堆叠，而是分层并垂直聚集，建立一个重复的模块，以适应香港的不同地点。通过对典型的租赁单元的重新思考，该项目重新设计了普通的城市住宅，通常内在化，每层都紧密地聚集在一起，几乎没有采光机会或外部可达性。随着单元从一层上升到另一层，建筑围护结构逐步增加，以最大限度地增加外部曝光，增加自然光的可用性。项目组织在一个9方的网格中，充分利用周边空间，将公共交通置于核心位置。后退的体量一旦聚集在一起，就将室外空间的各种穿孔连接在一起，提供交通和庭院。编织的流通为偶遇和共享的叙述提供了机会，重新想象街道和社区的概念。单个单元的垂直叠加形成了一种新的塔楼模式，它利用了单一家庭社区中更普遍提供的便利设施，同时让终端用户与城市的规模直接对话。
The first place proposal for the Hong Kong Pixel Home radically re-imagines the notion of vertical living, translating from the building scale to the individual unit typology. Rather than stack units floor to floor, each unit is layered and aggregated vertically, establishing a repetitive module, for adaptation to various sites in Hong Kong. By re-thinking the typical rental unit, the project re-postulates common urban housing, often internalized and tightly clustered per floor, left with little daylighting opportunity or exterior accessibility. As the unit progresses upward from floor to floor, the building envelope steps to maximize exterior exposure and increase availability of natural light. Organized in a nine square grid, the project takes full advantage of the perimeter, locating the public circulation at the core. Once aggregated, the receding volumes thread together varied perforations of outdoor space, providing both circulation and courtyard. The woven circulation offers opportunity for the chance encounter and shared narrative, re-imagining the idea of the street and neighborhood. The vertical stacking of individual units develops a new tower paradigm, taking advantage of amenities more commonly provided in the sprawling expanse of single family neighborhoods, while engaging the end user in direct dialogue with the scale of the city.

第二名的设计方案是香港像素住宅，它重新设计了一种住宅类型，以解决香港的住房危机。由100平方米的预制房屋单元组成，模块的聚集创造了一个垂直的村庄，在城市的尺度上重新思考家庭空间。通过使用住宅的乡土形式——山墙——每个住宅模块的截面变化在单元之间产生了丰富的空间变化——创造了露台、小花园和每个具有独特采光条件的阁楼。该方案试图通过将这些垂直的社区插入香港的肌理中，重塑城市的规模，通过外部通道、共享空间和用于集体活动(如崇拜、市场和休闲)的公共花园相互连接。坚固的建筑形态使该项目能够适应香港不同的场地、规模和密度。将预制房屋单元插入结构电枢的简化后的梁柱结构创造了一个低成本和灵活的建筑系统。矛盾的是，尽管这些单元看起来像是住宅，但它们的内部形态从根本上改变了典型的家庭空间，从一系列房间变成了一系列灵活的功能和区域。居民可以重新调整和改变每个空间的使用，这是由布局的慷慨实现的。每个预制单元之间的空间允许光线进入空间，并为植被占据这些空隙提供了机会。
The second place proposal for the Hong Kong Pixel Home was chosen for its reformulation of a domestic typology as a solution for the housing crisis in Hong Kong. Composed of a 100 square meter prefabricated housing units, the aggregation of modules creates a vertical village that rethinks domestic space at the scale of the city. Through the use of the vernacular form of the home - the gable - the sectional variation of each housing module produces a rich spatial variety amongst the units - creating terraces, pocket gardens, and lofts each with a unique lighting condition. The proposal seeks to reclaim the scale of the city by inserting these vertical neighborhoods into the fabric of Hong Kong, interconnected by exterior passageways, shared spaces, and common gardens for collective activities such as worship, markets, and leisure. The robust morphology allows the project to adapt to the various sites, scales, and densities of Hong Kong. The simplified post-and-beam construction with prefabricated housing units inserted into the structural armature creates a low-cost and flexible system of construction. Paradoxically, although the units appear to be homes, their internal morphology radically alters typical domestic space from a series of rooms into an adaptable set of flexible functions and zones. The inhabitants can reappropriate and change the use of each space, enabled by the generosity of the layouts. The spaces between each prefabricated unit allows for light into the spaces and offer an opportunity for vegetation to occupy these interstitial voids.

像素之家大赛的第三名作品复兴代谢胶囊塔，将微单元住宅重新设计为一个机械化的空间，同时为香港的天际线创造了一个地标。居住空间为圆柱形滚筒，置于刚性结构框架中，可堆叠并可在多种高度配置下展开。通过住宅柱体的机械旋转，单元的拓扑结构将地面作为首要空间，允许租户进入设计在地面和天花板上的不同功能。循环和浴室设施在核心保持固定位置，而机械居住空间不断变化，有节奏地旋转，扭曲以适应身体的需要。该设计的最终成功之处在于，它对城市环境中住房危机的技术解决方案的反乌托邦未来提出了根深蒂固的批判。这个项目与其说是一个解决方案，不如说是反映加剧了我们城市家庭文化中已经存在的问题趋势:在不断缩小的居住空间中，不可能实现隐私。
The third place proposal for the Pixel Homes competition resuscitates the legacy of the Metabolist capsule tower, reimagining the micro-unit dwelling as a mechanized zone of spatial modification and efficiency while producing a marketable icon for the skyline of Hong Kong. The dwelling space occupies cylindrical drums set into a rigid structural frame, stackable and deployable in multiple height configurations. Through the mechanical rotation of the dwelling cylinder, the topology of the unit deprioritizes the ground as the space of primacy, allowing the tenant to gain access to different programmatic functions deployed on both the ground and ceiling. Circulation and bathroom facilities maintain a fixed position in the core, while the machinic dwelling space is constantly mutable, rhythmically rotating, and contorting to fit the needs of the body. The inhabitant views the city through the porthole of each cylinder while the city observes the inhabitant by means of a ring of neon illumination around the cylinder’s edge: a lurid beacon of color-coded activity within. The ultimate success of the proposal is its embedded critique of the dystopian future of the technological solution to the crisis of housing in the urban environment. The project offers less of a solution than an exacerbation of the already problematic tendencies of our urban domestic culture: the impossibility of privacy through digital media in an ever-shrinking dwelling footprint.
