Communal spaces disappear as a result of rapid urban-redevelopments.
“Reimagine our Community” - a project designed to seek an alternative. Good urban spaces are created through time, and are closely related to our everyday life.
Through observing, extracting and articulating urban fragments, we imagine new, yet strangely familiar communal spaces that speak our utopian imaginations for our neighbourhoods.
The research project is an attempt to extend our design methodology to urban context. Given the fast pace and current framework of development in Hong Kong, many communal spaces have disappeared or lost their communal roles.
In 2021, with the support of Design Trust, we started the research project which aims to address the essential role of communal spaces in the city, and to improve the atmospheric condition of our neighbourhood by extracting the distinct urban characteristics and connecting them to people’s daily living experiences.
The findings will be showcased in a series of photographs, collages, drawings, physical models, videos and stories.
SOCIAL LANDSCAPE
The exhibition also showcases 3 education projects from Eureka, which we first coined the word “Social Landscape” and used this methodology.
