Environmental Design for a Sustainable Future
– community workshops

2019 – on going

Nei Ming Chan Lui Chung Tak Memorial College,
Lutheran Academy and Harbour City, Hong Kong

Project Description:

Community co-design workshops were conducted with local partnering schools and Project WeCan to raise awareness of younger generations on the built environment of local communities, as well as basic principles of sustainable architecture. The interactive co-creation workshop explored the team’s common vision on a more sustainable environmental design in Hong Kong. With an assigned design challenge, fundamental architectural design elements, concept of public space as well as environmental design principles were shared with the students. Participants were provided with tools and materials to resolve a simple design challenge. The collaborative process and creative outcomes were presented in a public exhibition at the Harbour City, Hong Kong.

As a co-create workshop, we would like our event participants to always be credited for their creative input for any display and/or publication of the creative outputs:
