On the occasion of Chinese New Year of Rabbit, we look back to various rabbit figures created by designers of different generations, from Design Trust Legacy Award 2021 Honouree Dr. Henry Steiner, to Design Trust Futures Studio 2022 Heritage is Creative Generation master-mentor Cynthia Sah and her mentee-designer Su Chang, as well as mentee-designers and grantees Soilworm Lai and Mic Leong. We wish the positive and dynamic energy of these rabbit figures will stay with you for the new 2023 ahead!

DESIGN TRUST GRANT SPOTLIGHT: #DesignTrustSeedGran

DESIGN TRUST GRANT SPOTLIGHT: #DesignTrustSeedGrant research project West Point Neighborhood Lab led by Massimiliano Dappero explores alternative ways to transform 2 kilometers of existing sidewalks into a lively urban linear park reconnecting two neighborhoods to their waterfront in the West of Hong Kong Island, involving residents, local business owners, university students, professionals, NGOs, developers, and other community stakeholders. It is a live project, in constant evolution, which investigates the micro-dynamics of our neighborhood, the people, their activities, and their needs to reinterpret public space in a dense city like Hong Kong. Apart from engaging urban design and planning students from different universities in Hong Kong in various field study and design workshops, the project also developed a video chat series titled “A Walk With” involving policy-makers, curator and practitioners in a wider discussion on public space and community engagement. With #DesignTrust #FuturesStudio Pilot micro-park Sitting-out Area under Flyover in Hill Road softly launched, Massimiliano and his team continues to observe, analyse and speculate on public space for Hong Kong and #DTFS team is proud to integrate their research into programme planning for the future of Shek Tong Tsui neighbouhood.
