FINAL DRAWINGS STATEMENT :
09:00 AM \ UNFAMILIAR CONVERSATION
“Drawing from a self-derived equation in the pursuit of reinventing a new queer space, three elements constituting a social context, architectural expression, in addition to the historical aspect of Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens are inevitable. Introducing a contemporary space performance as an educational tool for the community, all genders are invited to participate in unfamiliar conversations, building upon the community library. The strong reflection of this queer space within the architecture curriculum challenges the social norms, in a way that the concept of queerness encourages amateurs in dialogues that go beyond the ordinary subject matter. A safe space where transgression happens, interlocutors concurrently exchange ideas while seeking inspiration from one another, creating a pleasurable pathway uniformly enjoyed by all participants.”
01:00 PM \ DEFYING PUBLIC INDECENCY
“ Venturing from the back entrance of the proposed Vauxhall Community Centre, this space fundamentally confines a queer socio-culture vibe. The atmospheric cues that depict an enclosed yet opaque, diverse yet individualistic, robust yet vulnerable, all equate to the intricate process of peeling away multiple layers of queer identities. Inspired by the profound idea of LGBTQ, all characters at different ages are drawn into the scene of exhibitionism, whereby the unparalleled art of architectural concepts are inextricably linked. In this developing queer urban space, each stage exposes contrasting levels of privacy depths that explore voyeurism respectively. Performances also encourage visibility to all space occupants, considering how this idea is gradually gaining acceptance in today’s modern society.”
06:00 PM \ THEATRE OF QUEER PERSPECTIVE AND PUBLIC EXPRESSION
“ Serving the community with a dreamlike amusement scene as inspired by the Pleasure Gardens, this setting emcompasses a peculiar and holistic social dynamic. Extensively filled with divine music and aesthecially appealing visual arts, the new queer space engages a queer observation based on the relationship between the urban alienation and visual power, that are within the Vauxhall site context. Resulting in the enactment of a recent development and social context, the notion of queer theatre provokes a hidden social representation, public expression, architecture, and its dialectic behind the coded forms of voyeurism and exhibitionism, which were all cautiously examined. Trangressively building up the suspense of each curious show stage, the untouched warm illumination enthusiastically shapes a new urban way of living.”

Architecture Design Technology 3 Focus:
Queer observations ‘right of light’ of surrounding buildings                                
A Magisterial Viewing Device to promote building of views:
An intensive study through Alfred Hitchcock’s film “Rear Window”. It reveals the hidden density and society diversity through a single architecture construction. The GIF animates the spatial dynamics of voyeurism as portrayed a connection of exterior and interior through the protagonists’ rear windows.
Begins with a murder case, the analysis between these rear windows will be classified into five different levels of voyeurism based on how Jeffries’s optic instruments level up the intimacy between-space relationship and also the level of privacy that Jeffries interfered into Thorwald’s apartment without his acknowledgements.
In this spatial dynamic, this perception inspired me to invent new types of rear window as a magisterial viewing device. Starting from rear window, I would like to coordinate and address the architecture discourse which I am working on, “Reinventing the New Queer Space for the Contemporary Society”. My intention is to build up a queer observation based on the relationship between the urban alienation and visual power within the Vauxhall Site Context and result in the enactment of a new development and social context or new urban way of living.

Architecture is enduring an obvious revolution in the discourse between aesthetics and form-making, gradually less concerned due to the discussion between gender, sexuality and space performances. 'Structuring the Tradition: Reinventing the New Queer Space for the Contemporary Society ' is written by Kian-Lek Choi for his Bachelor Degree's Dissertation in University of Greenwich, London.
Graphic Design :
To reflect the ethos of the queer space theory, the chosen LGBTQ's colour palette gradually shifts from pages to pages. As a result, the gradient beautifully exposes through the edge and backbone of the book. Each book was binded by hand with kettle-stitching method.
Size: 185 x 250 (mm)
Page: 80 (pages)

Sketches to study the new relationship after my project moved to a new site.
First consideration is the privacy and conflicts between back garden of the shop lots and arcade shop lots. A garden space is suggest to embrace the garden contentedness as corridors of communal activity.
Secondly is using public cinema location engages with the practice of queer space through atypical relationship by building a space-bridge between the big screen, audiences and the residential building behind the screen.   
Third part i move to design the No-To -Hate-Crime Tower, which is located behind the arcade as a circle form. It mainly as a helpline center to LGBTQ Community.
