A student project that I'm doing now is a sustainable student accommodation. The concepts are heavily influenced by Ken Yeang' idea that a building should able to be retrofitted for other purposes in the future. I found that the biggest challenge to make this possible is the flexibility of existing building structure to adapt with new program. Most of structure design and built are permanent, and if not, it requires a huge scale renovation which may cost equal to demolish and construct new building which apparently not sustainable.
