Based on research, 80% of food in Hong Kong is imported which has implications for the associated environmental footprint. Therefore, the project proposes a design which encourages the community to develop a local sustainable system within residential buildings in Hong Kong.To support the autonomy of regional food supply, agricultural elements and alterative ways of energy production are created and integrated within the existing fabric of public housing. In addition, spatial compositions of domestic households are reconfigured and designed to facilitate a communal collaboration system for the increase of small households in dwellings. The cycle of food production is linked with the daily routine of the residents creating an interdependent living system.Illustrated in a narrative way, the design tells the story of a new communal engagement and the longing for a harmonious residential community working together to build a sustainable environment for the future.
Dose love last forever? This is hard to be assured, but there is one thing that is sure, our love towards our clothes is very short lived. In the modern world, we are all taught to buy way more than we need and dump whatever we don’t need or want anymore. Hong Kong’s wasting issue has always been a heated debate. We love fashion but we also grew out of love fast, we just can’t help it.For that reason, “The unwanted project” is rolled out.“The Unwanted Project”, is dedicated to all the things people used to like and want. It acts as a reminder to people for those things that they do not remember anymore. The project is aiming to trigger audiences’ memories, their old memories. This is also going to be an ongoing project for finding the unwanted pieces, the old fashion trend we all once loved but do not remember them or even hate them now. This is almost like breaking up and ending a relationship which inspires the tagline and the poems in the videos.
