DESIGN TRUST: Critically Homemade

DESIGN TRUST GRANT SPOTLIGHT: Last chance this wee

DESIGN TRUST GRANT SPOTLIGHT: Last chance this weekend to visit #DesignTrustSeedGrant exhibition “Reimagine Our Community” by Annette Chu and Gabriel Lee at G/F, 11 Peel Street, Central. “Reimagine our Community” is 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, the grantees imagine new, yet strangely familiar communal spaces that speak our utopian imaginations for our neighbourhoods.

最後機會參觀信言設計大使種籽資助計劃成果申請人朱珮汶和李駿霆的展覽「城市人的白日夢」，展覽位於中環卑利街十一號。「城市人的白日夢」是一個城市研究設計項目。理想的城市空間隨著時間逐漸形成，與我們的日常生活互相緊扣。透過觀察、抽取及重塑城市的碎片，朱珮汶和李駿霆把各區的特色延續、放大並重疊，設計出一系列既新奇又親切的公共空間，故事場景從此不再一樣。

#DesignTrust #FuturesStudio Newest Pilot micro-par

#DesignTrust #FuturesStudio Newest Pilot micro-park in Yau Tsim Mong District will soon be unveiling to the public this summer! After more than five years of ongoing efforts, the collaborative design process since 2018 involves mentor, designer mentees, local communities, advisors and stakeholders that contributed to the shaping of this newly revitalized rest garden, highlighting the neighborhood’s identity.

This short video from 2020 is a testament to cross-disciplinary long-term creative efforts from diverse communities from Hong Kong, the Region and Beyond - Hamilton Street Rest Garden concept design “ConnecTable” is conceived by #DTFS2018 team Mentor Stanley Wong (Founder and Creative Director, 84000 Communications) with Mentees: Samuel Wong (Architecture and Landscape), Vivian Ng (Industrial and Product Design), Sylvia Chan (Writing and Criticism), Elaine Tsui (Architecture and Landscape), Owen Chim (Environment and Interior Design) and conceptualized by Design Trust Co-founder/ Lead Curator Marisa Yiu.

「未．共研社」油尖旺區最新微型公園咸美頓街休憩花園即將揭幕。經過超過五年的投入，我們欣然回顧自2018年開始的協作設計過程，設計導師、學員、本地社區與持份者及顧問共同規劃「搭檯」，突出街坊社區身份，傳承本地工藝文化。我們期待與您分享更多公園動態。
該短片為2020年時製作，是香港以至地區內跨領域創意的見證，咸美頓街休憩花園的「搭檯」設計團隊包括「未．共研社」2018年導師黃炳培 (又一山人，八萬四千溝通事務所創辦人及創意總監) 和設計師學員王守賢 (建築與景觀)、吳泳雯 (工業及產品設計)、陳曼霞 (寫作和評論)、崔亦伶 (建築與景觀)和詹皓雲 (環境及室內設計)，並由信言設計大使聯合創辦人/主策展人姚嘉珊概念化。

DESIGN TRUST GRANT SPOTLIGHT: #DesignTrustSeedGran

DESIGN TRUST GRANT SPOTLIGHT: #DesignTrustSeedGrant research and exhibition “Reimagine Our Community” by Annette Chu and Gabriel Lee is currently on display until May 21, 2023. The research project addresses the essential role of communal spaces in the city, and to improve atmospheric conditions of neighborhoods by extracting distinct urban characteristics and connecting them to people’s daily living experiences. Through observing, extracting and articulating urban fragments, the grantees imagine new, yet familiar communal spaces that speak their utopian imaginations for their neighbourhoods. The exhibition tests an alternative approach in developing communal spaces in Hong Kong, and provides possibilities of urban imaginations by architecture through a series of photographs, collages, drawings, physical models, videos and stories.

信言設計大使種籽資助計劃「城市人的白日夢」是一個由朱珮汶和李駿霆帶領的城市研究設計項目，研究展覽現正展出至2023年5月21日。透過觀察、抽取及重塑城市的碎片，他們把香港各區的特色延續、放大並重疊，設計出一系列既新奇又親切的公共空間，故事場景從此不再一樣。此次展覽旨在提供另一種發展香港的社區空間的方法。項目試圖運用香港城市的特徵，並通過建築，尋找想像城市的其他可能。展覽以一系列照片、拼貼、繪圖、模型、短片和故事來呈現他們對城市的觀察、詮釋和想象。

Date & Time: 6 – 21 May 2023, Sun – Wed 11:00-18:00, Thu – Sat 10:00-20:00
