The designer-mentee teams presented their design concepts at The Hive Spring, Hong Kong, and received feedback from guest critics representing different industries from the public and private sectors.
After the four teams’ presentations, Marisa Yiu moderated a wide-ranging open discussion involving all the guest critics, who commented specifically on each of the four designs and highlighted overarching questions for all mentees to consider as they continue to fine-tune their concepts. Some questions that the mentees came away with include: How do you design a space for different user groups? How do you retain existing users while bringing in new groups? How can their designs enhance and improve, rather than impose? The teams will simplify their focuses and think about the micro park designs in the context of its neighbouring parks around the districts.
