DESIGN TRUST GRANT SPOTLIGHT: #DesignTrustFeatureG $DESIGN TRUST GRANT SPOTLIGHT: #DesignTrustFeatureGrant research project Hong Kong Soil is currently being exhibited at 2022 Hong Kong Biennale of Urbanism\Architecture (UABB), Star Ferry Piers in Central. Led by grantees Niko Leung and Loky Leung, the exhibit “Infinite Use of a Finite Thing” is a band of earth rammed to seat height, intended to be served as a bench for dialogue and imagination. The rammed earth bench is coupled with the formwork. Within it, earth mixture is set loose to exhibit the raw material used, and to suggest a continuation of the ramming process. Advocating a sustainable use of our finite resources in the construction of a built environment, Hong Kong Soil is an initiative to recycle discarded soil into resourceful material for building and product design. To build with earth is an active response to the continuous deterioration of our city- and landscape, yet it is not commonly seen in Hong Kong. Through research and experiment accompanied by a series of drawings, models and showcases, the research project’s experimentation explores the cultural, technical opportunities in recycling discarded soil from construction sites. The work is now on display at Cafe Pier 7, Star Ferry Pier, Central, till Saturday November 26th 2022, daily 11:00am - 8:00pm. 信言設計大使專題資助計劃「香港土磚」最近在2022年港深城市建築雙城雙年展香港中環七號碼頭展出。由計劃參與研究者梁康勤及梁樂鈞創作的「有限之材，無限之用」是一套座椅高度的夯土作品，供人們討論與想象。夯土長椅同時保存了製作時使用的模具，夯土原料也以原始狀態呈現，顯示持續進行的夯土過程。「香港土磚」就是要循環廢土，讓有限的泥⼟資源得以在本⼟流轉，成為建築和產品設計的另類素材。項⽬希望藉由⼀系列的圖像、模型和展覽，進⾏探究和試驗。重新構造我們對城市空間和鄉郊景觀的想像，找回對⾃然環境和資源的尊重。該作品現正於中環七號碼頭（天星小輪）Pier 7展出至2022年11月26日，每日開放時間為11:00am - 8:00pm。 [1-5] Images courtesy of Design Trust [6-7] Images courtesy of Niko Leung and Loky Leung. @marisayiu @designtrust @_nikoleung #DesignTrust #DesignTrustHK #greaterbayarea #gba #designer #cultureprojects #designfund #fundyourproject #funding #creative #innovative #ideas #inspiration #creativity #asia #nonprofit #culture #designersinaction #hongkong #getfunded #designcommunity #designhongkong #exhibition #researchprojects #hongkongsoil #rammedearth$
