The designer-mentees conducted several site visits to Haw Par Mansion since 23 July 2018. They engaged with the building’s history, as well as that of the Haw Par family’s, to gain an understanding of possible directions of design and craft.
Lead Curator, Marisa Yiu (Co-founder/ Executive Director of Design Trust), and Advisor Roger Wu (Executive Director, Project Development of Haw Par Music Foundation) have been continuously guiding the team on the building, its adaptive re-use process, and topics around heritage, and conservation.
