生活在香港這座高密度且高壓的城市，心理健康問題日趨嚴重，明顯影響日常。
競爭使然，人們為求生存而忽略身心健全的根本。
香港住宅面積全球最小，個人時間又被超時工作蠶食。這種惡性循環下，缺乏活動空間與個人時間，正是心理問題惡化的主因。
從建築角度審視，我思索建築能在此困境中扮演何種角色。
論文無意解決住屋危機或改變過勞文化，而是企圖在有限的時間內尋找樂趣，將最平凡、耗神的家務轉化為儀式，
讓人放慢步伐，恢復精神健康。
研究探討建築如何修復因空間與時間匱乏而受損的身心，目的並不是設計單一的建築，
而是一套設計方法——由水上建築先例及傳遞人類體驗的元素構成的「零件套件」。
此套件可生成短暫性居家類型，將日常雜務轉為療癒儀式，使最簡單的生活動作成為康復之源。
如伯納德·屈米 (Bernard Tschumi) 所言：「建築不只是空間與形式，也關乎事件、行動及空間中發生的事。」
本原型選取全球多個水上相關建築案例，從水為核心的構造到漂浮結構，依功能、空間品質及與水的互動方式拆解為碎片，
彙成圖錄，作為反覆建構剖面拼貼的基礎，編織一系列修復儀式。
最終目的，是讓居住者暫時脫離壓力與物質生活，
沉浸於海洋環繞的空間，在平凡日常中重新發掘喜悅。

Living in such a high density and stressful city like Hong Kong, inhabitants lack sufficient activity space in
their small apartment and personal time after working overtime. Personal time is often consumed by
the daily chores such as cooking, laundry and showering.
Therefore, this thesis aims to create a temporary living space on water, far from the stressful land, for
people to ‘zone out’ and reset their minds for a short period, whether on weekends or a weekday night
by making daily chores into an enjoyable and relaxing experience.
Inspired by the kit of parts in toy models making, specific water related architectural precedents and
water vessels are dissected to create catalogues as a base for design development. From larger scale to
smaller scale, a mix of model making, collage with hand sketches and digital drawings are utilized
iteratively during the process of refining each space with specific activities.
“Architecture is not simply about space and form, but also about event, action, and what happens in
space.” Bernard Tschumi, The Manhattan Transcript.
The final floating retreat is presented as one of many configurations that the catalogue could create,
accommodating for different inhabitants’ preferences and living styles.
The ultimate purpose for this process is to enable inhabitants to detach from the stressful and material
lifestyle for a brief moment, and to immerse in a space surrounded by the ocean and eventually
rediscover joy within the ordinary acts of daily life.
