DESIGN TRUST GRANT SPOTLIGHT: #DesignTrustSeedGran

DESIGN TRUST GRANT SPOTLIGHT: #DesignTrustSeedGrant project “Innovation of Metal Folding Craft Based On Galvanised Iron Handcrafts Study in Hong Kong” by Gamzar Lee is currently exhibiting at London Crafts Week 2023 as part of Hearts & Hands: Crafts of Hong Kong. Galvanized iron is a durable iron alloy coated with zinc, often crafted to be our daily utensils in the 1950s and 60s in Hong Kong, before the wide usage of plastic and stainless steel. Gamzar started his galvanized iron crafts apprenticeship in 2020 following the local Master Yu. He started his design exploration with reference to Origami and parametric design methodology. Based on continuous craft practice and a deeper understanding of galvanized iron material, this craft research project explores the potential of folding metal using industrial design software while integrating local heritage of Hong Kong.

信言設計大使種籽資助計劃成功申請人金澤的項目《香港鍍鋅鐵工藝的金屬折疊研究》現於2023倫敦工藝週的手製心造展覽展出。白鐵是一種鍍鋅的耐用鐵合金，在塑料和不銹鋼廣泛使用之前，在1950 年代和 60 年代香港經常被製作成我們的日常用具。金澤於 2020 年跟隨俞師傅開始了他的白鐵工藝學徒生涯。他開始了參考摺紙和參數化設計方法的設計探索。基於持續的手工實踐和對鍍鋅鐵材料的更深入理解，該項目利用工業設計軟件探索折疊金屬設計工藝產品的潛力，並籍此傳承發展香港本地的文化遺產與傳統手工藝。

The inter-disciplinary and cross-cultural collecti

The inter-disciplinary and cross-cultural collective research efforts presented at Design Trust Studio Inaugural Showcase continues to respond to critical and urgent local and regional topics of built environment at different scales. Publication ‘’Objects of the Dragon Kiln’’ of the research project Hong Kong Dragon Kiln Revitalization supported by Design Trust Feature Grant offers a unique insight to ethnographic stories of this heritage site of local craftsmanship constructed from 1940s, serving also to promote and preserve the unique human heritage that is closely tied to Hong Kong’s unique history. Zooming in to a micro scale, Design Trust Seed Grant research project “Interstitial Hong Kong” looks into Sitting Out Areas (SOAs) as a unique type of interstitial space crucial to public life of Hong Kong. By creating an illustrated survey on the unique public space that urban designers would like to forget, Interstitial Hong Kong found new grounds for creative intervention, and to function as enabler of new public realms and social spaces that reflect social cultural concerns and evolving social practices in Hong Kong.

信言設計大使工作室開幕展覽呈現的跨學科、跨文化研究積極回應本地及地區間建成環境的迫切議題。由信言設計大使專題資助計劃支持的香港龍窯活化計劃及其出版物《器說龍窯》透過對這座1940年代的本地歷史遺跡檔案資料研究、以及訪談曾在龍窯工作人士，旨在窺探香港工業高速發展時期的獨特人文風景，重現當中的歷史、文化和藝術故事。在更為微小的尺度上，信言設計大使種籽資助計劃研究項目“間隙香港”及出版物《間隙香港: 探索高密度都市主義中的小型休憩用地》特別關注對於香港公共生活極為重要的獨特間隙空間類型“休憩處”。通過對常规城市设计中常常被忽略的獨特公共空間進行圖解調查，間隙香港以創意方法寻求改变，並成為反映香港社會文化議題和不斷發展的社會實踐的新公共領域和社會空間的推動者。

With a sincere commitment to advance design compet

With a sincere commitment to advance design competency, catalysing our programmes to benefit and inspire the public on the role of design, as well as supporting emerging designers and scholars’ research on urgent topics, Design Trust has supported 537 grantees, fellows, mentee designers and collaborative teams to date since 2014. Design Trust Studio’s inaugural showcase highlights the publications of two generations of graphic designers Henry Steiner and Adonian Chan, as a dialogue through time on how cultural landscape and identity of Hong Kong has been shaped and reshaped by continuing design exploration. Publications of the exhibition Henry Steiner: Cross-cultural Graphic Communication Exhibition, Seminars and Workshops supported by Design Trust Feature Grant highlighted Henry Steiner’s legacy in establishing graphic design as a profession in Hong Kong and his distinctive approach to cross-cultural graphic communication. Supported by Design Trust Seed Grant, Adonian Chan’s publication Hong Kong BeiWei Zansyu analysed the history, culture, popularity, and aesthetic value of the typography Hong Kong BeiWei, from which he expended the research into a contemporary type design project further supported by Design Trust Feature Grant.

自2014年至今，信言設計大使支持了537位專案研究者、研究學人及設計學員，以提升設計的價值為宗旨，通過多元計劃引導大眾了解設計的角色，支持新進學者和設計師探索迫切的議題。信言設計工作室開幕展覽特別展示了兩代香港平面設計師石漢瑞及陳濬人的相關出版物，以跨越時空的對話探討設計如何塑造並重塑香港的文化身份。由信言設計大使專題資助計劃支持的《石漢瑞:跨文化圖語展覽、研討會和工作坊》展覽突出了設計巨匠石漢瑞在香港建立平面設計專業化的傳奇，以及他在跨文化設計溝通的獨特方法。而信言設計大使種籽資助計劃支持申請人陳濬人的《香港北魏真書》則在現代排版的基礎上分析了歷史、文化、流行和審美價值，並進一步探索了未來對香港視覺文化瑰寶進行新的詮釋和振興的可能性，陳濬人也進一步將該研究拓展為一個當代字體設計項目，並獲得信言設計大使專題資助計劃支持。
