DESIGN TRUST: Critically Homemade

Looking back to 2018 into the context and site his

Looking back to 2018 into the context and site history of Portland Street Rest Garden in Yau Ma Tei neighbourhood, the DESIGN TRUST FUTURES STUDIO team engaged with various stakeholders and public agencies including ArchSD, LCSD, district councils, as well as the general public throughout the design process from site analysis to technical development. With the #DTFS theme "Play is for the people", focusing on the role of play for our community and re-envisioning the future of micro-parks, this community project reflects the voice of the community to the perspectives of the designers' process, demonstrating the complex processes of public design making, yet the exciting potentials of public imagination.

回望2018年前期研究和設計階段，團隊與各持份者和公共機構，包括建築署，康樂及文化事務署，區議會以及公眾進行了接觸和會面。從選址分析，概念設計，到技術研製中都包含他們的想法。2018年的主題為《眾．樂樂園》探索「眾樂」對我們社區的作用以及重新思考微型公園的未來，而當地社區對設計的迴響亦反映在其中。呈現的公共空間設計過程並不簡單，但蘊含豐富的公眾想像以及參與人士的創意。

DESIGN TRUST GRANT SPOTLIGHT: In view of the urgen

DESIGN TRUST GRANT SPOTLIGHT: In view of the urgent need of small business entities in Hong Kong to project new models in a highly competitive market, #DesignTrust #SeedGrant speculative and research project entitled “Secret Societies” by Chun Lam and Yi Ran Weng is a physical-digital system of vending carts to provide opportunities for small businesses, utilizing parking spaces in Hong Kong in novel ways, in response to the 2021 Seoul Biennale of Architecture and Urbanism titled “CROSSROADS, Building the Resilient City”. Its third edition of SBAU curated by architect Dominique Perrault attempts to assert the importance of interactions and “cross-fertilization of expertise and approaches” to respond to the complexities that shape the built environment in resilient ways. Small businesses contribute significantly to the socio-economic diversity of the community. “Secret Societies” would be a tool to coalesce around small business in the community as well as an easy access for both small business owners and their customers to interact, adding to the global dialogue on resource management and flexibility of urban development tactics. This project is now on view at the 2021 Seoul Biennale of Architecture and Urbanism until October 31st 2021.

信言設計大使資助項目精選：香港的小型企業個體對於豐富城市生活至關重要，而同時迫切需要一個新型運作模式以便在這個激爭激烈的市場上生存。有見及此，種籽資助計劃項目「Secret Societies」團隊成員Chun Lam和 Yi Ran Weng提供了一個解決方案，就是建立一個「Secret Societies」平台，做法是一個結合電子和實體的出租的流動售貨車，大小剛好適用於停泊在香港街道上的停車位，創新利用空間。響應了2021年首爾建築與城市主義雙年展“十字路口，建設彈性城市”的主題，。第三屆SBAU以，由建築師Dominique Perrault策展，試圖強調相互作用和專業知識的交叉運用，以及應對形成建築環境的彈性方式。「Secret Societies」將成為凝聚小型企業工具，還是一種方便店主和顧客交流互動的工具，響應關於資源管理和城市發展策略靈活性的全球對話。此項目正在2021年首爾建築與城市主義雙年展展出至10月31日。

DESIGN TRUST GRANT SPOTLIGHT: #DesignTrust #SeedGrant speculative and research project entitled “Secret Societies” by Chun Lam and Yi Ran Weng is now on view at the 2021 Seoul Biennale of Architecture and Urbanism until October 31st 2021. Small businesses contribute significantly to the socio-economic diversity of the community. In view of the urgent need of small business entities in Hong Kong to project new models in a highly competitive market, the research team’s solution is a platform called “Secret Societies”. The concept showcases a physical-digital system of vending carts to provide opportunities for small businesses, utilizing parking spaces in Hong Kong in novel ways, adding to the global dialogue on resource management and flexibility of urban development tactics. The 2021 Seoul Biennale of Architecture and Urbanism reflects on the future of urban environments and the architectural and planning strategies that foster resilience. Titled “CROSSROADS, Building the Resilient City”, the third edition of SBAU curated by architect Dominique Perrault attempts to assert the importance of interactions and “cross-fertilization of expertise and approaches” to respond to the complexities that shape the built environment in resilient ways.
