DESIGN TRUST: Critically Homemade

ANNOUNCEMENT! Design Trust is honoured to be selec

ANNOUNCEMENT! Design Trust is honoured to be selected as the winner of DFA Design for Asia Awards 2021 Grand Award. DFA Design for Asia Awards 2021, one of Asia’s most prestigious design awards honouring design projects globally that have influenced and meaningful impact in Asia.

As part of the programme “PLAY IS FOR THE PEOPLE” (2018) under the Design Trust Futures Studio (DTFS) initiative, the launch in April 2021 of the Yi Pei Square Playground is a testament to Design Trust’s continuous and dedicated efforts in bringing together the local communities and other stakeholders from both private and public sectors to transform the unique concepts by cross-disciplinary design experts into meaningful outcomes that impact society or public spaces in Hong Kong. The idea of “Communal Living Room” that connects the three separate areas into one large colourful groundscape by adopting new play equipment, while retaining and refurbishing fitness facilities that are popular among elderly users. This design aims to facilitate inter-generational interactions for residents of all ages, a playful open park provided with facilities that can be enjoyed by all to enhance community partnership. Upon reflection of this year’s awards, Jury members state “Amidst the pandemic, creativity and innovation proves to be the remedy for improving our quality of life. We are pleased to award projects that meaningfully address critical issues such as humanitarian needs, environmental, cultural and sustainable development, revitalisation through technological advancements, and marriage of functionality and aesthetics”. Design Trust continues its dedicated efforts in bringing together the local communities and other stakeholders from both private and public sectors to transform the unique concepts by cross-disciplinary design experts into meaningful outcomes that impact public spaces in Hong Kong.

The Archigram City carries on the Archigram Group’s dedication to the idea of creating domestic and public space through series of transformative, interactive and essential combinations of technology and human ingenuity, created the Gala’s immersive architectural environment, adding positive physical and emotional impact that design and architecture should have on our city. More details of Design Trust Gala 2021 to be announced soon, please stay tuned and support Design Trust.

His installation invites audience to experience Hong Kong through video game streetscapes from the 1980s to now.
